Great technique! You can number each point as you move around the shape with the tick stick and transfer those numbers to your points, so you never connect the wrong dots.

Brilliant! I've been struggling trying to fit up a trapezoidal shaped hole in my ceiling. Your video (had to view it twice) worked perfectly. Well done and thanks!

Awesome! I have two somewhat triangular shaped sections to drywall today. I like how he used a stake for the tick stick since I won't need to make anything. I watched you first, then watched See Jane Drill and got it but in hindsight you were very clear. Thank you.

That's awesome. It can be used for flooring, tile, drywall, etc. Thanks a ton pal.

I'm lazy, I just lay a patch bigger than the strange opening, trace around it, cut it and pop the old section out... 😂

I usually attempt to go to the studs and square it up. Easier to mud.

Best tool I found for working on drywall is a 3.5" x 7" smartphone and it allows me to call someone who's good at working on drywall. Really cuts down on the amount of sanding I'll have to do as well.

Could do large area (like a floor) with tape measure and straight edge rather than stick. Just need a vector (direction and magnitude (distance)) and a raw piece larger than the you're cutting.

@evictioncarpentry2628 4 жыл бұрын

By the time you did this I would have cut a square, put some backing in to screw my new drywall to and had 10 odd shaped holes filled lol.

I wonder if Italians used this method for the incredible stone inlay work in all of the Catholic churches, @ the Vatican, Duomo, etc. Their work was amazing, and hundreds of years ago.

This method originated with boat builders long ago.

If you have trouble keeping track of the corners, just number them on the wall, then on the intermediate board, then on you final board. Connect the numbers.

@shawnr771 4 жыл бұрын

Very true about drywall although this will work for odd shaped pieces that you can just square cut. Many homes have odd angles in them. Not all of them are square. Works in very tight odd angled corners for setting tile. The first person I saw that showed this method said it also allowed for curving openings like those found on wooden ship hulls.

@nailbanger2 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, ticking stick works great..., but not for drywall. I usually just cut my piece oversized, scribe it on the wall, then cut a new opening.
