You can scribe joinery, you can map it, and you can square rule it. Mapping uses measurements indirectly, Scribing uses measurements directly and square rule uses the assumption of a perfect timber somewhere inside of a imperfect one.
Where I work we used to use mapping for the most part with some square rule on special projects. Right now we use Cad layout on a CNC for all but the hip and valley timber and special pieces. We still pre-fit in the shop.
This guy is one of a handful who have mastered scribe-method joinery as taught in the compagnon artisan schools in France. They understand their craft in way that few others ever will.
