[@willowtree4121]

Best description I've found, this 70 year old female is going to use this to fit picture rail. Thank you

[@JBTV]

Glad this helped

[@jameslau5497]

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.

[@stephenhill8991]

Nice simple explanation of a very useful procedure.

[@MrJokerh61]

Thank you for making this brilliant video

[@JBTV]

No problem, glad it helped

[@russelljobson84]

Classic Lambs Tongue 😍 I’m fitting some of this today! Great video 👍🏼

[@tristanmccauley2318]

Saw it done years ago forgot how, thank you, you're a legend.

[@JBTV]

Cool man

[@nattytempest9886]

Well that was enlightening! Thank you for the video, this was very helpful!

[@JBTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@beermonster1234]

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 :)

[@roidavis931]

Thank you Justin, for making it clear and simple!! Good job man.

[@andrewlenza]

Bravo - with hand tools. Excellent content.

[@VictorGonzalez-gk1nr]

Superb. Need to install my skirtings in a couple of weeks and will definitely be following this advice.

[@nickgreg8068]

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 KZbin has positioned the camera that close up as of yet.

[@Tom-fu9cr]

thanks fellah , great advice

[@joesoto4527]

I do appreciate what you show me. I learned a lot.thanks.

[@melegssore]

Didn't realise it would be so easy. No more mitres in internal corners for me. Thanks so much.

[@MeeHandle]

I was going to go for 45 degrees. Thanks for this.

[@RosiE-g5d]

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.

[@Dime_Bar]

Nice work Bob

[@hog8035]

Another excellent tutorial. Thanks

[@JBTV]

Thank you

[@azy78]

Thanks for explaining it in detail.

[@tonupturner]

Do you always scribe the skirting board on the right hand side?

[@JBTV]

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

[@peterr7437]

thank you just about to try and fit a living room and hallway,what about externals ,any tips there

[@JBTV]

Get yourself an angle finder (see my saker mitre saw protractor video) and a good mitre saw 😃

[@peterr7437]

@@JBTV ok thanks

[@peterrobertbowers7639]

If that join is not perfect, when fitting internally… you could always fill it in i suppose, to make it look really good. i don’t know if it would work that way or not; but I’m about to find out.. because I’m replacing my old skirting board; and I’ve never undertaken this task before.

Great vid, very clearly explained.👌

Brilliant video and explanation! Thank you

[@chrise202]

Thanks for the tips very helpful!

[@rezyc]

Iv seen so many videos and still confused lol why cut 45 angle to then cut it off. What am I missing

[@andy.robinson]

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.

[@rezyc]

@@andy.robinson having trouble with a straight board. It's a kitchen upstand with no detail so it's not really working for me

[@MaxRank]

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.

[@lordbelcheriv6115]

So are you back cutting the top half of the mould?

[@tompage750]

What type of skirting is this mate?

[@MaxRank]

Looks like 4 or 5 inch Ovolo MDF.

[@brightoutlookwindowcleanin7241]

Do scribe if u have square profile skirting or just push it up to it ?

[@JBTV]

If it's square/flat, then you have nothing to scribe, so just push it up against

[@brightoutlookwindowcleanin7241]

JB need help mate, what brand eggshell would you recommend please? Great channel 👍

@@JBTV great thanx mate 👍

[@inbeatdjacademy6291]

Great video

[@jackmckeown2053]

That ok but what about when the walls are not level.I use a sliding bevel to find the correct angle

[@123simion1989]

Nice video, thank you!

[@haroon420]

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.

[@mrpulloo]

impressed

[@MrGlennwilley]

Amazing thanks!

[@bazttv1659]

what a fucking scribe mate, looks amazing!

[@Welcome2us]

You used white wood rather than unprimed and curve are not too many. Where as I have too many curves

[@mactheman8797]

[@MaxRank]

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.

[@garvielloken3929]

nooice!

[@Welcome2us]

Not clear

[@floyd666uk]

Just like your replies.

[@neiljones6917]

Wtf using a hacksaw should be using the coping saw all day long

[@aznycts]

You Need Good Mic ☺🤔

[@JBTV]

Understood 👍

[@RasterYT]

Seemed alright to me
