Making Torus Skirting Boards

I needed to make some torus skirting boards for a job so I filmed the process I go through to produce this moulding.
Torus skirting board is very popular here in the UK.

I wish I had access to some of that machinery. Unfortunately I have to get my skirting from Wickes and it's not that good. I might copy the idea of making stress relief cuts in the back using a circular saw when I next do some skirting though, as the skirting you get from the retail shops warps really badly. Thanks for showing us the full process of making them from scratch, was very interesting.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

I am very lucky to have access to these great machines and to have a job that is also my hobby. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy does your place sell to the general public and if so how do your prices compare to b&q , jewsons, beers or any similar timber merchants

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

@@ozzyefc44 hi, I work in a construction college so the skirting boards I made are for the joinery students to learn and practice on.

[@ozzyefc44]

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy ok thanks mate . Glad to see a fellow scouser with a KZbin channel 👍

[@maskedavenger2578]

I am a retired chippy ( old Scouse Riversdale Tech building department pre app student ) I have seen lengths of timber in some wood yards that would of looked more at home in an aircraft propeller factory ,it was so badly warped & twisted . Don’t think some of these timber merchants have a clue how to correctly season & store timber these days. It would take more than relief cuts to sort the likes of that old gash stuff out .Always go & select your own timber & collect it yourself if possible .If you let them select & deliver some of them will palm you off with timber that has more shakes than an Middle Eastern desert state .

[@georgehurst4344]

Hello mate, just wanted to stop in and say I've been watching your channel ever since your first internal scribe video on skirting boards. Always great videos. my favourites are the internal scribe and external mitre on skirting boards and you coving video. Keep it up mate! Happy Christmas!

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Sorry for the late reply, hope you had a great Christmas. It's great to know my videos have followers. I'm always worried no one will watch or like them. I've got lots more videos to do when I get the time and hopefully the quality of the videos will improve. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Wow!

[@rodgerq]

I've just built a small router table and had a go at making some skirting with a Rutland moulding bit out of MDF. I'm finding that I get some break out where the bottom of the moulding transitions into the finished face of the board. How can I combat that? Do I need to take shallower cuts? Make a fence that gives closer to a zero clearance? Feed it slower? I thought I had it cracked but now that I've painted the boards, there's actually quite a bit. Just standard grade MDF as well. Cheers.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Moisture resistant mdf has closer fibres so usually has a cleaner finish. Try taking most of the meat out and then the final pass just a shallow pass. You need a steady pace to feed it through the cutter not too fast. The speed of the cutter should be correct for it's size. Feather boards might help aswell to maintain even pressure. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on 👍🏼

[@rodgerq]

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy yeah I wish I had got MR MDF for all the price difference, I was just being cheap. Thanks for the advice, I'll give it another go soon and see how I go. Cheers c

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

@@rodgerq I use standard mdf for skirting all the time, it just needs a little bit more sanding

[@rodgerq]

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy it must just be my lack of machining experience then. The router bit is brand new and I did use feather boards. Funnily enough the facings came out ok, it was just the skirtings.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

@@rodgerq bit of trial and error with depth of passes feed rate and bit speed on some off cuts and you'll get it spot on. And remember you get 2 goes with skirting, if you mess up just turn the board over and you can do it again 👍🏼

[@fundione7543]

Hey, I love your videos. I would love the machines you have, could I get old but functional ones, I can take care of the shipping.

[@preonmodel9906]

Could this be done with a hand-held router? I’m going to be making skirting from rough pine board, have the thickness planer, table saw but not got a router table .. thanks for the video 👍

[@jerryluka4961]

Make a router table with the hand held. Once you go table you wonder how the heck you did it handheld

[@preonmodel9906]

Ok will have a go 👍

What is the purpose of the grooves? To run wiring?

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Hi, the grooves take some of the tension out of the timber to try to minimise the chance of it cupping. Thanks for watching and be sure to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼

Cos we all have a squillion £'s worth of machinery NOT

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

These machines are great but yes they are expensive. Cheaper machines can produce the same thing.

[@JackT9595]

Love comments like these, if you want to start mass producing skirting with nothing but a router table, circular saw and hand planes go for it... Just a simple video showing how a real company would produce skirting.

[@Smithb83]

Great to see some of this machinery in action, thanks. Skirting looks great and can be exactly how you want it, not just what's available

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

It's great when you have to match to original skirting because you can get the profile made into a cutter and make as much as you need. Thanks for watching and if you'd like to subscribe to my channel that would be great 👍🏼

[@justcruisin109]

Thanks for this - I like seeing how others approach a job. I had never thought of changing the cutters while mounted on the spindle - I might cut myself less doing that so I'll give it a go. I usually leave a 1/4" of space between the cutter and the infeed fence to allow more airflow so the dust collector can remove the waste but you're right in that the limiters only allow a millimetre or so of feed per cut so it might not make a big difference. Cheers

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Glad you enjoyed my video. That's a great tip I will definitely try moving the infeed fence back a bit especially when I'm raising panels. Every day's a school day! Thanks 👍🏼

[@matts5356]

Fancy making me some custom skirting and architrave? ;-) The place I was going to use went out of business!

[@matts5356]

Also, coving is up and looking nice thanks to your previous video. Evolution mitre saw worked a treat and meant I could get really specific angles as the room wasn’t square.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

@@matts5356 if you invested in a router and router table you would be able to have a go at making your own skirting boards. It's great hearing my video helped you get your coving done. Bet you saved a few quid not getting a professional in too. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
