  • Planning on buying a combo of Ikea storage units to fit in an alcove, there will be about 2cm gap either side, not enough for a shadow gap, so prob needs scribing in which is something that I just cant get my head round, will it even be possible on such a small gap? Will prob just pay someone.

  • Sorry not been on the forum much recently.

    Scribing is relatively easy to do to an ok level once you get your head round the basic principle. Bear in mind that if you do it to an ok level you can cover up minor boo-boos with caulk. It's all about knowing exactly what the offset you will be cutting to is then setting that precisely on your scribe (I use a compass) but there are many, many ways to do it and they all have their advantages / disadvantages.

    Very easily done for what you want.

    You may struggle to find someone willing to do just a couple of scribes at present.

    If you want to try it yourself I may be able to write up a guide.

  • Forum favourite Peter Millard has an ace video on scribing. I think this was the one my gf described as the most boring video she has ever seen, but that was before I watched the one on MFT hardware.
