How to Cut and Fit Wooden Skirting Boards Using Hand Tools | Step-by-Step DIY Tutorial

[@tonyefc8423]

I'm a retired joiner now, due to ill health, but I have used that method since 1979 when i began serving my time. An old school joiner Bob Wright, showed me it, and i think only you me and Bob knew about it. Works every time. Great video.

Can't get onto a site these days without 3 grands worth of kit. I have often wondered how all the skirtings fit so well in victorian houses. Tape, saw, pencil 30 quid. Knowledge- priceless. Great video.

[@danielocallaghan8201]

My first reaction was "that'll never work" but I tried it today and it worked perfectly on ogee skirting around the base of a radiator cover. Many thanks for a great tip!

FINALLY! A video that shows such simple steps. I’ve been putting off skirting for a couple of weeks now because the other videos have confused me. This is absolutely perfect and I’m going to skirting on Monday now. Thanks again :)

How did it go?

[@timslee2573]

Yep... How did it go?

[@kidxable]

Amazing, I only watched the video up till the point you showed the reflection of the skirting in the saw. Amazing, I wish I had a sensai like you.

[@ryanleepilkingtoneastham1799]

I've watched 12 videos regarding this, what a method this is, class mate fair play

[@aurelia5614]

Brilliant helpful video, thank you so much.

[@michaeltanner4113]

You videos are great, no bull shit, and good enough! I think people forget about decorating calk, filler and the bits no one actually sees.

Amazing work, saved me a lot of time and headaches!!

[@tonybennett4922]

[@bigwilfybear5894]

Nice I need this I’m a plaster but starting to do skirting board don’t wanna pay for loads of tools il prob barley use ha

[@DavidCaldwell1]

Fantastic. Never heard of this method using the reflection

[@timbarry5080]

What about a 22.5? And did all old carpenters have shiny saws capable of reflecting images? Great video

[@jimlea7935]

Some great tips there but I'm just wondering how it works if your corner isn't exactly 90 degrees

[@timbarry5080]

That's a good question.. perhaps it would have been tuned up with a hand plane

[@perrywakeford]

10/10 bro. That’s the way, thanking you kindly

[@kpatel8549]

Amazing thank you for sharing this video I appreciate your time 🙏🏻

[@jmquez]

This just blew my mind. Awesome!!

[@don64shaw]

Amazing simple .... thankyou sooooo much❤

[@sgtfoureyes5972]

Hi mate could you do a video on a room which has uneven floors.. I’ve heard scribing skirts can be a bit awkward when it comes to lining up the mitres

[@tonyefc8423]

You just use a spacer, and follow the floor, pressing pencil against the spacer as you move along the floor, leaving the pencil line on the skirting board.

[@donna7869]

Thats an external corner, ( i think!)....I'm trying to work out if you can do internal corners by this method

[@mechtechmechanical1571]

why did nt i think of this years ago, easy job

[@Woozel100]

If this works, it will be life changing for the DIY!

[@jonnohanks]

[@juliasavory]

[@juliasavory]

please clarify what the back of the saw blade is

[@BykerTheBoy]

The bit closest to the handle.

[@sk66G]

Cool. Why I didn't learn that in College...

[@Blueray37]

Thanks for this 👍

[@garybaker4722]

Brilliant thank you

[@kirupakaran127]

Thank you very much 👍👍👍

[@TheSly40]

i tried this started off ok but when i came to the line i drawed after cutting the top ..as u shoiwed us , my cut wavered inwards lol tried numerous times

[@timbarry5080]

Did you ever get a straight cut. Maybe your saw needed ti be tuned up

[@arronmason6692]

Cheers pal!

[@rbflooring1]

You've got a 90 and a 45 degree on your saw. No need to use ancient Greek sun dial techniques.
