- I this video I show a little of how I mark and cut architraves and skirting boards. This is a favour job for a mate and this domestic environment work is not my typical of the sorts of projects I'm usually involved in.
I am new to the world of video making, and, although this video, and many of my others, are not fantastic in terms camera work and explanations, each video I make helps me learn and hopefully improve.
Great Video, Its like watching myself work your approach and execution!!! big up the Class of 1986!!!
Hi Robin. I get a kick out of making tight joints, and together with bonding on the skirting and using minimal pins, the decorator does too. 😛 Thanks for watching and your comment. 😎 Cheers.
Caulk and paint makes a chippie what he aint
@@flyingjackcarpentry9394 You know that.🤪 Its shocking what the painters tell me they have to get over with the caulking gun.😬 (not on my jobs obviously 😎). Cheers👍
Another Great video.
A double-ended scribed small off-cut of skirting was a great way to eliminate using the chop saw for every joint. I then Just lined the back of the skirting to the pencil line and then marked the front profile to be cut.
Everyone should try this method it's a real time saver. I hope I explained it right.
Hi there🖐No, you explained using a double sided 'scribe block' pefectly👍 and a method I used for years before I had a chop saw👊Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
i am a trim carpenter in new york usa . i really enjoyn you vedios
Hi Edward🖐Great to have you watching NY🤩Appreciate your comment bud and thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
It’s like the music was pouring out from the coping saw during that scribe cut, as if the saw is your bow to the violin. It was emotional to watch.
One of the most original comments I've had.🤩 Cheers.👍
Those scribe cuts are perfect and looked effortless.
Hi Alba🖐I guess after doing these joints for over 35 years, I should be getting the hang of them🤩Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
I happened across your channel a few days ago. This video has me hooked. Who can resist watching a skilled man doing his trade and Strauss doing his bit? Top bloke!

G'day to you Ciaran. (apologies if that is a stereotype of how all Australians say hello😆). Appreciation of carpentry AND classical music!. You obviously have great taste.🤩 Thanks for watching from down under.😎 Cheers. (mate).
class of 87, no idea why i watch this stuff, however, that's the way i would do it and you've made an excellent video. cheers
Hi Gordon. What's wrong with us?🤪 Spend all day doing carpentry, and then watch videos of someone doing the same thing when we get home.🤩 Thanks for you comment.👍 Cheers
Man, I've been at this game since the dinosaurs , but you are a inspiration Del .
On internal mitres i scribe of as you do , but use a 18mm off cut placed against out of plumb surface then draw scribe line , i then have a clear line . I have saw blade plumb when i spin choppy to get angle , as my line is stepped back it is nice and clear . When i am happy i am in correct angle , only then do i tilt blade blade . Sounds trivial but its a far quicker way i found . Sorry to try to teach a man of your talents how to suck eggs , but watching your vids , this old dog has learned a lot from your . 😀👍👍
Hi Raymond.🖐 Really great to have old dogs like you watching my videos, and appreciate your great comment. Absolutely agree with what you're saying, but, I set the base angle of the saw to the scribe line with the saw leant over as I have found, certainly on the saws that I use, even if the base angle is perfect with the saw set upright, as you lean it over, the weight of the saw plus our tenancy to pull vertically down as we cut, (rather than in the 45 degree direction), can lead to the blade slightly overcutting the mark. I know I'm super splitting hairs with this one.🙈 Thanks again for your comment and I am really happy at how well received my videos have been by my fellow carpenters.😎 Cheers.
What I find sad about the world we live I today is a man of your calibre has to excuse/explain about his dust extraction.
You're a grown man who knows the consequences of no dust extraction and not for me to police you. I just enjoy your content 👍👍🇬🇧
Hi Alec🖐I know what you're saying bud, but sometimes a quick little disclaimer like that just saves loads of grief in the comments section from people telling what a bad example I'm setting and how dangerous my approach to work is😩I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Well shot, great finish. I enjoyed watching, thanks 👍
Hi Lewis. I do get great satisfaction out if making a nice finish, especially on things like doors, skirtings and architraves and my customers are always happy. 😎 Thanks for watching and your kind comment. 👍 Cheers
Yet again Del love it mate, Well done 👏👏👍
Thanks John🤩and I appreciate your comment🤗Cheers Del
Masterclass!!
It's really cool for me that you have been watching and commenting on my videos for all this time now bud, and it's much appreciated🤗Cheers fella

Very tidy! Not sure us mere mortals could hike a leg up onto a saw horse quite so comfortably
Hi Darren. Those horses are a double edged sword. Low enough to get my leg over, (oo,er), but not high enough to work over without bending right down.😣 Cheers.🤩
Well done job i love the choice of sounds great scribes.
Hi Pedro🖐I'm glad you enjoyed the music, and I was pretty chuffed with how well it worked with the length of the video👍Thanks for your comment and have a nice weekend😎Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter question do you prefer nailing studwork or screwing im off to n sweeden to refit cabins i see both methods. Would you recomend a good nailer. Ta mate
@@pedrothewise2584 Hi Pedro 🖐I personally have always nailed my studwork as I think its quicker and I'm not a fan of the battery only, 1st fix nailers as they are heavy for all day use😬I dont think you can go wrong with the gas powered Paslode guns, and I'm getting on well with the Fischer 1st fix gun but its doesnt get into tight spaces as easily as the IM350 Paslode does👍Cheers Del
Absolutely beautiful, true craftsman at work! Have a great Christmas, hope you’re having a few days of rest.
Hi Darren🤩Thanks for you lovely comment, and I hope you also have a restful break🤩Cheers Del
A top notch video keep em coming mate 👍🏻🤩🤩
Hi Andrew🖐I'll keep making the videos if you keep watching em 😀 Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Hard to beat the satisfaction of doing trim work and leaving a tidy job.
Hi Diarmuid. This job was small, but perfectly formed.🤩 Thanks for watching and your comment.😎
Recently discovered your channel and i have subscribed already. Keep the vids coming.
@@diarmuidkelly9079 Appreciate you subscribing and thanks for watching.😎
Great video again. Really appreciate the videos and explanations. I'm currently doing an apprenticeship in joinery but I'm barely doing any joinery so it's nice to be able to learn some tips from yourself 👍
Hi Zac. That's really cool that you're in an apprenticeship. How come you're not doing much of it though?.
I’m in the same boat, boss has got me doing architraves and skirting with no power tools, just a mitre box I made from wood, it’s been a pretty disheartening process 🥲 hope it all went well in the end mate
Clear video, thanks. Do you mitre external corners?
Hi Marc. I'm new to the video making world, and I appreciate you comment. Even in this video I have seen lots of things that I can do differently in terms of filming, and each video I do, I try to make improvements. I do mitre my external corners and stick them with Mitre Bond adhesive. I would have shown one in the video, but there weren't any !!. Thanks again for watching and your comment. 👍 Cheers.
Looks fantastic
Thanks Shane. Appreciate your comment and watching.👍
Hi just stumbled on your channel, some great coping joints absolutely spot on pleasure to watch, and have hit the subscribe button 👍.
Hi Rob. Really appreciate your kind comment, and thanks for hitting subscribe.🤩 Have a good day.😎
Great music Del. 👊🏻.
Hi Dan. I do all my 2nd fixing to Motzart, Beethoven or Kisstory!!!. (I love the classics). 😝 Thanks for watching mate. 😎 Cheers.
@@thetallcarpenter try 6music on the bbc if you like it varied. 🥳
Excellent workmate.
Hi Gavin. Cheers buddy. Perfect little 2nd fix job on a cold and wintery day in the UK.😎(beats being out in the freezing rain). Thanks for your kind words.👍
Very neat can I ask do you use an angle finder for external mitres or just cut 45 degree? Also do you cut test pieces first to test the mitre before cutting?
Hi Chippy🖐I'm usually working on linings that I've fitted, so I know the head will be square to the legs, and so I just set the saw to a 45° angle and cut👍If I was working on older linings, I would probably check them for square first, and adjust the mitre angle to suit and then just do a couple of test cuts until the fit is nice👊Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter sorry del I meant for the skirting bud
@@chippy977 Ah🤔 You can usually see if the corner isn't 90° just by eye, and if it's, say, less than 90° I'll just set the bevel angle on the saw to 47° ish and try that👍
great job Del !looks like my old Elu ?
Hi Tomo🖐The old Elu is a cracking saw, and I did a video about if you fancy checking it out👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
How’s the Milwaukee multi tool mate? I’m thinking of the Bosch one just wondering if 12v has enough ‘umph’
Hi JD🖐Its not a 'full power' multi tool, so hasn't got anywhere near the grunt that my mains Fein one has,(and probably the cordless 18v ones), but it is excellent for lighter little jobs like trimming off dowels, door wedges and cutting plasterboard out👊 Cheers Del
Great vid and music mate, I always leave my head arch to last for measure (long to long just in case my quirk is slightly out due to a shit pencil line lol) but beaut vid.
If the Skirt kicks out a hair (which it can do, I drive a soft sheet nail/clout into the bottom of the plaster board to alleviate it. Sometimes due to that shallow rebate in the Skirt. Great vids
Hi Bartbug. Great suggestions.🤩 Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment.😎 Cheers
WOW !! ELU saw
Oldschool Peter🤪 Thanks for watching😎
Awesome great work mate
Hi there. Appreciate your comment.👍 Thanks for watching.
Is there any more videos so that i can learn to do a better job by subscribing
@@scorpionnetherrealm8937 Hi there. I'm building the videos on my channel to include all sorts of carpentry work. I'll be doing more videos going into greater detail on many jobs also.😎
Very nice job. Do you prefer a push or pull stroke on you coping saw? What margin do you use on your spacer architrave block, and do you determine the gap between the door and frame (top and sides) as per the set trow of the hinge or do you just use a set size of your own, say 3mm?
Great video as always, keep them coming
Hi Dan. I use standard down cut blades in my coping saw, and I always set my architraves 3/8" inch back. This allows for any hinge I've fitted👊 Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Just re-read your comment, and with regard the door gap. I try to aim for the thickness of a 2 penny coin no matter how the hinge is set itself👍
Hi there. Great video was wondering how you mix lime maxel adhesive to get the perfect bond? Also how do you measure your cross hatch square inserts on them door rigs ? Cheers
Hi there🖐I'm not sure your comment is in relation to this video bud🤔and I don't know the answers to your questions either😬Cheers Del
Ok thanks Del.. just old carpenter terms I use. 👍 keep up the good vibe merchants…👍
Great informative vid Del.
I’m about to do the same. Should the architrave be slightly thicker than the skirting? ie 18mm and 15mm skirting?
Sorry for such a basic question.
Hi DMC. I have only ever fitted skirting and architrave of the same thickness and aim to get them flush on face where they join. Occasionally, the architrave will be slightly kicked leaving it proud of the face of the skirting, which I don't think looks bad, but I wouldn't really like to see the skirting stick proud of the architrave👍 Cheers.
Sometimes when the mitre isn’t a true 45 degree cut, do you use a block plane to plane the mitre to suit and I find this usually causes a gap at the top edge of the mitre is this acceptable? Obviously the actual mitre will be tight though it just leaves that gap at the top?
Hi Milo🖐As always, we can toil to over a joint, that, actually, 3 coats of paint will completely cover anyway👊Cheers Del
it may be my ocd but I always wondered when it comes to the architrave the profile is pointing towards the door or down with the skirting the profile is at the top or pointing up. if the profile was continuous from the skirt to the architrave it would need to go the other way ? I know all archi I have seen is ran like this just wondered why ?
Hi there. I get the thrust of your point in terms of the continuation of the profile. I think there is a few reasons, however, we do it the way we do. Firstly, it would be a huge amount of effort, secondly, the skirting can finish straight into the back of the architrave and thirdly, I believe that moulding on skirting should be different to the moulding on the architrave. Historically, skirting has a torus mould on it and architrave has an ogee. The torus is a stouter mould and so leaves a greater part of the skirting plain. Ogee is a more generous mould ands so is more pleasing to the eye as it goes round the door way.😎 Cheers.
Put an extra amount of adhesive at ends of skirting so when you fit scribed piece into it it levels up where the wall is out.
👍😎
When on price do you work as hard and fast as you can to maximise output? Or should you just be steady and efficient?
Hi Charlie. I don't do work on a price, as I think it encourages poor standards. (usually because the prices are so low). The quality of my work always comes first, and fortunately, my costumers recognise this and are happy to pay for it, but they are also more than happy with the volume of work I can turn out. Thanks for you comment. 😎 Cheers.
@@thetallcarpenter really admire your craftsmanship and attention to detail, as I think striving for high quality is imperative however do you think sometimes you can be too much of a perfectionist? And you should work to certain tolerances?
@@charlierodgers2776 Its great question Charlie. There are places in your work where you can get away with slightly less than 100%, but this is more on the 1st fix side of things. I do a lot of finishing work with clear coated hardwoods, and my work has to be perfect as there is nowhere to hide. I've just started an Instagram account and there is a few pictures of the kind of work I do. Check it out if you fancy. thetallcarpenteruk
Are you in the trade?. 🤟
@@thetallcarpenter yeah I’m a carpenter also been doing it for 7 years since I left school really enjoying it and soaking up all the knowledge from master craftsmen like yourself
@@thetallcarpenter there's a guy on IG called carpentrybymar. He has some top tips for really difficult situations but simplifies the geometry involved. Definitely one to watch.
Bit nerdy but what grab adhesive do you prefer? Or is it just whatever’s to hand / in stock at the nearest screwfix/toolstation?
Hi there. Not nerdy at all.🤓 The best stuff I've used so far is Evo Stick Sticks Like.🤩 Its got good initial grab/suction, has the perfect viscosity and will go off fairly quickly. I obviously haven't tried EVERY polymer based adhesive, but of the many, many I have tried, the Sticks Like is the one I keep coming back to.😎 (and I prefer the white to the clear). Cheers.
@@thetallcarpenter cheers! Great channel, really enjoying the videos. 👍🏻
@@thepeginator2556 Thank YOU for watching.😎
Same as 🤟 so that's where my pencil went 😂 ☘️🇮🇪👍
I've got multiple pencil systems on the go in this video John🤩😵 Thanks for watching mate😎
You can tell you been in the game a while. Elu saw. Ain't seen one of them in years. Decades😂
Hi there. Its the Elu PS274. Bought it in 94/95. In my opinion, the best 215mm mitre saw ever made. Still going strong and super portable and accurate.😎 Cheers.
@@thetallcarpenter you should do a video on what you reckon is the best kit to buy. I'd rather buy some old school stuff that is tried and tested than just stick to a certain brand
I was a makita fan boy but one bad battery buggered most of my kit, after I'd just bought a dewalt 2nd fix nailer with two 5ah batteries so I switched to dewalt and I regret it.
@@flyingjackcarpentry9394 Hi there. Recommending kit is very tricky unless you've had a go with every manufacturers offereing of a certain tool.😵 There are a few bits of kit that would say are better than others. The Elu PS274 is one for sure, but there's others like the DeWalt laser level and table saw.😎 Thanks for your comment.👍Cheers.
@@flyingjackcarpentry9394 Interestingly, I had a mate who had exactly the same issue with Makita batteries. He approached Makita, but they weren't interested.👎 He jumped over to DeWalt and loves it. Are you not happy with swapping to DeWalt?
Love watching your channel. Would it be possible to list the tools you?
Hi Raymond🖐I could easily list my tools, but do you think I should list which tools for which jobs, or list ALL of my tools🤔The problem with listing all my tools is I worry about their security😬 Thanks for watching my videos and for your comment😎Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter understand about security. My tools have a room upstairs because I dont want to leave them in the shed. 😉👍.
I was just thinking just the ones you use in the videos
@@raymondstitt648 You've got to do whatever it takes to keep your tools secure bud👊I will try and include what tools I'm using on each job 👍(if I can) Cheers again mate
Is that an old ELU mitre saw? Looks like the one I have and use now and again
Hi Jerry. Good spot.🤩 It's the PS274. An excellent tool and 27 years old. I've actually done a video about it on my channel.😎 It's cool that you still use yours too.👊 Cheers.

Hi there, great video, nice work. Curious as to what material is covering the floor. Canadian carpenter asking :^)
Hi Stuart. The flooring we use is 22mm moisture resistant chipboard and has a removable/peel off protective layer. This is so we can install the flooring as soon as the buildings joists are fitted and it keeps the chipboard dry. This method also makes a nice, safe working environment for the continued construction of the building. Once the interior is nearing completion, (after plastering usually), the protective layer is simply peeled off.👍 Thanks for your comment, and great to have you watching.😎 Cheers
@@thetallcarpenter Thanks for the reply, always interesting seeing different methods.
@@stuartcairnie9985 🤩
Doesn't matter how long I take and how much care I put into fitting linings, making sure everything level and square, once I come back to fit the door its all over the place.
Hi Kallum. I am very particular about my linings and wont put them in until the sparky and plumber have finished their 1st fix as they do cut in noggins for switches and radiators which can push the studwork and the lining if its fitted before hand. Once they have done and its all tacked up, I fit my linings.👍Ultimately, you will always get a bit of movement due to differing moisture levels.😤 Cheers.
Why do you make two cuts on the skirting before cutting throw it?.
Hi Big Andy🖐 If you're talking about the scribe cut, then I just find it easier to leave the blade in my coping saw set straight, and prefer to start the cut at the bottom of the moulding into the bottom half of the round, and then come in from the top to finish. Thus does 2 things. 1. it means I don't need to twist my wrist around as much, and 2. it makes a cleaner finish at the top edge of the moulding👍Cheers Del
Hi, I was looking at 7.30 in the clip, you like touch the skirting with the power saw a couple of times before making the cut. But thanks for your first reply, absolutely great channel, been watching for hours!. Actually I’m new to joinery and I’m doing some skirting, normally it’s the mdf stuff and I just glue it on and fill any gap at top with Chauk!, but I’m doing some nice wooden ones this week, any tips for what to do with any gap at the top of the skirting between the wall and the skirting?. Just chaulk it or is there a better way?. Thanks Andy
@@bigandy9768 Hi Andy🖐When you see me pulling the saw across the skirting a couple of times, it's because I am lining the cut up with the line I put on so the cut is perfect👍Solid timber skirtings tend to cup a little unless they are sealed/painted on the back, and caulking is usually used to fill an6 small gap against the wall👊All the best 🤩Cheers Del
👍🤓👍

Nice video, I’ve just gone from internal mitres to ‘scribing’- all oak, so had to be ‘just right’
Hi Jay Mo. I get a real kick out of cutting tight neat scribes. Using oak is the real deal as there nowhere to hide as oak is usually a clear finish. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
Yes, my wife requested ( we all know that means ‘told/demanded’) oak flooring, skirts and arch’s- oh, doors too.
Think we have half the worlds oak supply in our place.
Luckily for me it was pencil round, so easy to scribe and use a flap wheel on cordless grinder.
Your tip of scribing for plumb too, no point in a lovely scribe of the gap is incorrect. Spent along time setting up the mitre saw too for alignment.
Have a good Christmas and you’ve gained a new ‘Sub’
@@Jaymo_the_monkey Sounds like you've done a great job there mate. We all got to keep the, 'long haired general happy'. 'happy wife = happy life', as they say. Thanks for your great comments and happy Christmas. Cheers.
I’m in the middle of replacing our wooden thresholds the same as yours but from a 1940’s house. Also using Sticks Like to fix them down as I am not planning on removing the door frames. One question, should the tops of them be flush with the final floor level or to have a bit of a step? Thanks
Hi Nick🖐My personal preference is to have the thresholds a bit higher than the floor finish👍This gives the door a bit more clearance over the floor and allows a different thickness flooring to be fitted in the future👊I just make sure I knock the sharp edges off😎Cheers Del
