Over this past weekend I really cut my teeth on seeing if I could actually scribe wood trim. I definitely know how to do it since I've worked for a large Finish Carpentry contractor for over 14 years; however, I'm in the Office putting up with the headaches of getting new business and getting it done within budget and the project schedule.
There is a belly in the powder room ceiling and I used a flat trim profile. It turned out well as it did go tight to the ceiling with using about a 1/4" at the widest scribe. Just had to use the EHL 65 here.
I have a crowned kitchen floor and used wood base as the replacement material for the base cabinet's toe kick. This was a real "B.B." as I would tell you what this means; however, I want to stay in good taste. My kitchen floor was out 3/4" in +/- 4'-0" and the overall length of the toe-kick was 96" plus. I used the TS55 to do the initial scribe in 3 segmented rips and then finished it off with the EHL 65. This turned out well also and really cleaned up the appearance here versus the awful vinyl base toe-kick that was also not covering the whole face of the cabinet's ladder base.
After fitting the trim, I just used the "glue and shoot" method, then caulked, and now I have to fill the nail holes and paint. I've learned that painting is not my favorite activity of any project due to the prep work; however, I'll still do it as this really save the $$$$. Furthermore, my wife thinks that you just can go and paint without doing any prep work.
I'm very happy with the results and found even more that there is not a level plane/line in the house. My house was built in 1925 and I have many more projects lined up for it in putting my new practiced scribing skills to work.
