I've watched various videos online about this and still seem to struggle to get my head around doing it properly!

I think that if i was just scribing a shelf against one wall i'd be able to do a reasonable job. However my question comes when you're fitting something like Alcove units and you need to scribe something to 3 walls.

Do you just have the use some scrap wood, do each wall individually and then transfer the lines onto the finished piece or is there a better way to go about it?
 
Yeah it's an alcove unit. To go to the right of the fire place

It's not a very deep fireplace looking at it, so i imagine it'll actually be fairly easy.

I suppose the main question is whats the best method, build a cabinet and then fit that into the alcove or build the cabinet straight into the wall?
 
Are you building the unit yourself? - That would be the plan, i'm fairly handy but have never had to be precise with a lot of the other things i've done

Do you want it to look fitted? - Yeah, as professional as possible

Is it deeper than the alcove? - Not 100% sure yet, need to check with her how she wants it to look but i would assume so as the alcove is quite shallow
