John that is exactly what ordinary people need to see from your great experience and showing the story piece of wood to use to mark wall and ceiling. It shows low budget people simple tricks to enhance their homes. Good man
super video John .many a time I had gaps in my internal corners.useing my mitre box. with out useing the 83mm timber spacer. just a tip for anyone if you have a gap between your coveing and ceiling. if you try to pushing up your coveing it will go off level. I used Beer mats as packers were needed and cut flush with the coveing. ceilingswill always be up and down.
John, the b and q coving .the more expensive one you can get is a better looking mould when painted. IT is lighter cheaper and stixks on easy with the solvent free yellow gripfill.and you get the same effect.only problem it comes in 2 metre lengths. Slightly angle grind the edges and butt them up to each other and fill with caulk.credit card the excess .let dry and sand with180 grit.no joints are seen .save you a fortune on moulded stuff
I've just extended my bathroom and ready to fit the scotia / coving to the ceiling, When I was on the tools many years ago it was coping saw and back cut. My scotia is made of plaster, but it is not a problem to cut it on my combination saw, we also can purchase it in MDF. or wood. What I would like to say to you John, if only I had school teacher's back in the fifties and sixties that had been half as good as you at explaining and teaching with a calm and pleasant manner, I would most probably have been an academic!!! Instead I only learnt how not to grimace when getting six of the best on each hand!!
Was lookin at a jig in one of the big rip off stores £25 for 2 bits of mdf and it's a head melt using it.. only one way to do it and that's with a chopsaw.. great video john boy
Love to get an update video on the worksite table saw. Stood at the local shop staring at a Bosch, Dewalt, and a Metabo, for probably an hour. That wonky fence has me concerned, just getting into woodworking, done mostly metal work my life. I can be a bit overkill on precise measurement, wondering if it’s been a pain or it’s been ok? The dewalt seems to be the elite, but the price is to match. As a weekend woodworker that seems to be a bit silly, but if it’s precise, all the time. That goes a long way into my pockets. Glad I found your channel. Matthew from Calgary Canada 👍🏻

Hey John, really having problems with the job I am doing tomorrow - if the internal corner isnt 90 can you use the mitre protractor to get the mitre angle? And does this technique work only with this type of coving or all coving? Thanks 🙏
What is your cornice made of where you are from? Here in Australia it is almost always made of plaster. That cornice the way it cut on the saw looked like wood or plastic?
Hi John, great video. Im having trouble on some of my corners in a room where the corners are not 90 degrees. So I have been bisecting the angle, so the left/right cuts are equal (more or less than 45) Is that the best method?
Hi! Thanks for great video. I have one question: what type of blade do you use for your mitre saw? I tried cutting with mine and it started melting the coving... Thanks.
John the Life Saver. I had been trying to cut them in the mitre box and they never lined up. But After i made the jig like yours on the mitre saw 👌 thanks ever so much 🫡
83mm is only for the size I was using. Set yours up on the mitre saw like I have shown in the video and get an equal measurement on the base and on the fence of the saw
Hi John, are the set stops on the bosch using detents on the protractor? Have you had to adjust/correct the angles or does it hold well. Also my wife has just asked what colour paint are the walls in the room getting the coving. 🙄
I have never seen a product like this here in the US, very interesting that its foam, is that the norm over there in the UK? Here the standard would be made of wood or MDF, nailed into studs, then painted. Cool to see how things are done in other parts of the world.
Unfortunately there is an assumption that all rooms have 90 degree corners, which in my experience is something of a rarity. I’ll stick to my Wixey CJ417!
Great timing John, just about to cove our porch after a partial ceiling collapse!! It’s one of those jobs that is satisfying, but have to relearn every-time as not doing it often enough. Thanks for all your content.
Simple, easy, no jigs - you just need a chopsaw that’s set flush with your bench and make your own jig by screwing some timbers in position. This simply isn’t doable with just a chopsaw and a bench, needs way more setup than what you’re saying.

Thank you so much. I've watched 20 videos before yours, and yours is by far the easiest to follow 😊
I'm glad it was useful
Will you do an update on the solar system please :) @@JohnMcGrathManInShed
I didn’t realise it was that simple thanks for sharing those great and easy to follow tips
You are welcome

You are welcome!
Top video nicely explained !

Glad you enjoyed it

Is that the best method?
did u find a solution?
Great video John some real good tips on how to use mitresaw properly
Cheers Gary
Gread vid John, nice to see you back. How’d you get on with the PV solar panel installation? Love to see a follow up on how it worked out. Cheers
Will do Kieran
What a great video, thanks.
Brilliant explanation.
Assuming the corners are 90 or 270 degrees. Not back cut and cope?
very nice as always great video
Thanks
Hi! Thanks for great video. I have one question: what type of blade do you use for your mitre saw? I tried cutting with mine and it started melting the coving... Thanks.
What cornice for you use? Plastic if it is melting? Here in Australia or cornice is almost always plaster.
What are the boots you wair
John the Life Saver. I had been trying to cut them in the mitre box and they never lined up. But After i made the jig like yours on the mitre saw 👌 thanks ever so much 🫡
I'm glad to help
John. Where do you source your timber from. Walnut etc.
From McMahons hardwoods
Hi John that t 83mm does that only apply to that size coving cus I got smaller coving and 83mm didn't work. My coving is edge to edge 90mm.
83mm is only for the size I was using. Set yours up on the mitre saw like I have shown in the video and get an equal measurement on the base and on the fence of the saw
If your mitre saw doesn't have as tall a fence what do you suggest ?
You can make a fence from mdf or plywood
What if it's not a 90° corner. Say it's a 45° ? Will that still work John?
it will, for a 45 degree corner just set the mitre saw to 22.5
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed thanks John. Enjoyed the video. Missing the weekly videos. I understand how work and life gets it the way.
Hi John, are the set stops on the bosch using detents on the protractor? Have you had to adjust/correct the angles or does it hold well.
Also my wife has just asked what colour paint are the walls in the room getting the coving. 🙄
There are detents, I set it up once and haven't had to touch it since. You can tell your wife that my wife says its Teal. 😁

Not the UK, Ireland
@@HughStLeger I thought I recall John saying he lived in the UK in previous videos, could be mistaken though. Meant no offense.
Hi Michael I'm in Ireland not the UK and don't worry being Irish I am un-offendable its like a super power lol .
Yes it is the norm in the British isles ( England ,Wales , Ireland and Scotland )
Great video
Thanks!

You alright mate. Videos just stopped. Been missing your advice
I'm good man, I'm just so busy with work. I'll be back.
Where are you from can't pin down the county accent?

Simple, easy, no jigs - you just need a chopsaw that’s set flush with your bench and make your own jig by screwing some timbers in position. This simply isn’t doable with just a chopsaw and a bench, needs way more setup than what you’re saying.
Are you ok?
I'm good!
Have you retired John, miss your videos mate 😢
I'm just flat out with work I haven't had time to do anything in the work shop
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Thanks for getting back John, hope it’s not to long before your back 👍
Such a drawn out video.
