Awww mate this is genius. I was wondering how the hell I was going to accomplish this in my first house and first time fitting skirting. This is fantastic! Thank you very much :)
Would be great if you positioned the camera so we could actually see the coping saw going through the moulded part of the skirting. Might be a tricky positioning the camera, but well worth it because nobody on UA-cam has positioned the camera that close up as of yet.
yes, great demonstration of a really useful technique...except that you have to be able to cut a 45 degree angle and my mitre cutting kit isn't deep enough for my skirting. I'll have to work out how to adapt the technique.
Took me a second watch to figure that out too. Look at the edges left by that 45° cut - it's the exact profile of the piece you're butting up to. No need to draw anything. Just cut along that edge at a slight backward angle.
It’s called an open mitre, the point is it gives you the profile of the skirting with an edge you can follow with the coping saw. Also hold the coping saw upside down and turn the blade at 45 degrees or so, this forces the scribe to be undercut so it doesn’t foul the profile on the other side.
There’s not such thing a an internal mitre. Carpentry rule number 1. The whole purpose for the scribe is to eliminate shrinkage. If you mitre the internal I don’t care how square your wall is, over time this will open up and look like crap. Same applies to crown mounding don’t internal mitre it.
Best description I've found, this 70 year old female is going to use this to fit picture rail. Thank you
Glad this helped
Thank u M8. Tackling this today with 1 grumpy wife to appease. Wish me luck
I last scribed a skirting 17 years ago and needed a refresher - this was perfect! Thanks.
Didn't realise it would be so easy. No more mitres in internal corners for me. Thanks so much.
Nice simple explanation of a very useful procedure.
Thank you for making this brilliant video
No problem, glad it helped
Bravo - with hand tools. Excellent content.
Classic Lambs Tongue 😍 I’m fitting some of this today! Great video 👍🏼
Thank you Justin, for making it clear and simple!! Good job man.
Saw it done years ago forgot how, thank you, you're a legend.
Cool man

thanks fellah , great advice
I do appreciate what you show me. I learned a lot.thanks.

Superb. Need to install my skirtings in a couple of weeks and will definitely be following this advice.
I was going to go for 45 degrees. Thanks for this.
Thanks for explaining it in detail.
Another excellent tutorial. Thanks
Thank you
Nice work Bob

Do you always scribe the skirting board on the right hand side?
No, it just depends on which direction around a room you're going, and also the size of the pieces that need to be joined
what a fucking scribe mate, looks amazing!
thank you just about to try and fit a living room and hallway,what about externals ,any tips there
Get yourself an angle finder (see my saker mitre saw protractor video) and a good mitre saw 😃
@@JBTV ok thanks
Kind of helpful but when it came to showing the angle, you camera light was so bright, I couldn’t get a sense of the angle.
JB need help mate, what brand eggshell would you recommend please? Great channel 👍
Dulux is quite nice to work with. Water-based
@@JBTV great thanx mate 👍
nooice!
Iv seen so many videos and still confused lol why cut 45 angle to then cut it off. What am I missing
Took me a second watch to figure that out too. Look at the edges left by that 45° cut - it's the exact profile of the piece you're butting up to. No need to draw anything. Just cut along that edge at a slight backward angle.
@@andy.robinson having trouble with a straight board. It's a kitchen upstand with no detail so it's not really working for me
It’s called an open mitre, the point is it gives you the profile of the skirting with an edge you can follow with the coping saw. Also hold the coping saw upside down and turn the blade at 45 degrees or so, this forces the scribe to be undercut so it doesn’t foul the profile on the other side.
So are you back cutting the top half of the mould?
That ok but what about when the walls are not level.I use a sliding bevel to find the correct angle
What type of skirting is this mate?
Looks like 4 or 5 inch Ovolo MDF.
Do scribe if u have square profile skirting or just push it up to it ?
If it's square/flat, then you have nothing to scribe, so just push it up against
@@JBTV cheers for reply
You used white wood rather than unprimed and curve are not too many. Where as I have too many curves
Not clear
Just like your replies.
There’s not such thing a an internal mitre. Carpentry rule number 1. The whole purpose for the scribe is to eliminate shrinkage. If you mitre the internal I don’t care how square your wall is, over time this will open up and look like crap. Same applies to crown mounding don’t internal mitre it.
Wtf using a hacksaw should be using the coping saw all day long
You Need Good Mic ☺🤔
Understood 👍
Seemed alright to me
You need say thank you and shut up
