Brilliant. I just installed 5" oak plank flooring and that dreadful molding at the terminations is the only thing I screwed up. Had I seen this video first, things would have gone smoother. Bad timing is the story of my life. Thanks again.
These videos are usually seen by people who want to learn and try to do things for the first time. so I would strongly advise against cutting the quad upside down. It can be dangerous. Just use the mitre saw as it is intended to be used. You appear to be self taught but your methods work and it is nice of you to try to teach others but teach them how to do it safely.
Sorry if stupid question, but why did you use that block of wood as a fence at 1:20? Then so delicately turn that bit of trim around whilst holding that block in place. Why not just turn the bit of trim around and hold it in place with your hand against the mitre fence and cut?
This was very educational; thank you. Question: after all of the cuts were made and assembled, did you glue it down to the floor to hold it in place for the permanent installation? Thanks.
Hi Jason. In my case I just glued the joints, and it floats on the floor. For more permanent installations, it should be attached to the wall, not the floor, with dabs of construction adhesive, screws and rawlplugs, or pins into wooden plugs in the brickwork. Other walling materials may require different fixings. The reason for not attaching to the floor is that in this case it is a floating laminate floor which can move a little, and wooden floors move with expansion and contraction through the seasons.
@@mitchwoodwork Hi Mitch. Thanks very much for the speedy reply; it really makes a lot of sense. I picked up some construction adhesive and so will use that as the method to adhere it to the brick. Much appreciated!
Hi Mitch - may I ask, what is the brand /make of those compasses that you use (the first set with the blue wheels that you used at 2:33) ? Many thanks.
@@mitchwoodwork OK , thanks Mitch (great videos BTW ).As a chippy myself I was taught to scribe with compasses years ago . I'd also use a scrap of wood which then led to a pencil or finger as a guide . Best wishes .
I've never done it professionally - I make furniture. But I imagine you could expect to pay from £25 + materials (£1 to £3 / m) for a simple room with four corners and one doorway. There may be a callout charge on top of that of course. Shouldn't take me than an hour or so. If your in the UK, use checkatrade to locate a reliable carpenter

Nice work. I got a couple of good tips from this video. Thanks for making and posting it.
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing this technique, it got me out a tight "corner" when I was fitting quad moulding to the outside of a new tiled hearth.
Cheers Paul. Always good to know I've been useful 😉
Nice and clear …thank you ! I have a fully equipped engineering shop, I’m trimming around the new sink and worktop, blew my head up ( Monday’s)
Haha, yes it's not always so obvious. I have to remind myself every time I do it lol

Oh my God I have just learnt so much, wish I knew how to do that years ago. Thanks.
Thanks Man. U Just clears all my doubts. Good talking, good demonstration. 10/10
Can I ask please, why you had to use the "little fence" why not just "place it" Thanks
Cheers! It's difficult to just place it and make sure the quadrant is truly at 90° to the table.
Roger that, 90 degrees. Thanks.

Thank you! Cheers!
Well done clear instructions 👍
Cheers Scott
Great video! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Nice coping. Time consuming (for me at least), but it has to be done for best results. Never my favorite part of trim work.
Marty Backe Thanks. Most skirting/base board gets painted over here, so it's never fitted that well by builders.

They were just a pair I picked up at Lidl. Not sure of the brand, if any. Try an art supply shop if you are having trouble finding any similar.

@@djx-ray1876 I too, often use whatever is at hand. Cheers
Thank you, friend. I appreciate you sharing the video.

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks.
Hi. Do you have a video on cutting an internal mitre? I just can't figure it out.
Why of course ;-) ua-cam.com/video/Pvhcf95Aupc/v-deo.html Hope that helps
Very nice work.
Cheers
How odd, I am doing the same thing in our house. Only with a white plastic trim.
havenisse2009 First one or two are fun, but it does get tedious.
Brilliant and we'll demonstrated.. 🧐👌😄
Thanks!
please can you tell me how much workmen charge roughly to put down beading for ,1 room

Neat and clean
Thought you had no legs at first
Might have been legless in my younger days ;)
Cheers Louis Theroux 😅
Haha, cheers
