Great guide mate. Just measured up my first angle and found my McAlister mitre saw will only bevel cut to 45 degrees max I need closer to 50. FFS

[@cm5065]

Another suggestion to finding the angle:, Before you start any outside corners, cut some sample blocks with a 45, 45.5 and 46 degree angle. Use them to check your angle at each outside corner as you go. Much faster and fool proof.

[@trampkiller666]

I'm sitting in my living room staring at a huge pile of skirting that needs fitted in practically every room in the house. I have to thank you for putting this videos up. I was just about to start today and I'd have gone in with a totally different tactic! Your advice has saved me from making a complete arse of the entire job. I'm going to scribe my internal corners instead of angled cuts. It has all become clear now!! Cheers mate.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

salmon ninja thanks for your comment and I hope all goes well with your skirting boards. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@adrianek12102008]

In all fairness you CAN angle cut your internal corners too, it will just not allow for much wall imperfections. If your walls are bang on 90 degrees I never had issues angling internal corners. With not so ideal walls, scribing the corner gives a bit of manoeuvre to join them more neatly. With angled cut you’d have to fill the gap with caulk and paint it to hide imperfections.

[@WSMITHify]

I really hope anyone who takes this off in 100 years sees the markings and appreciates the craftsmanship

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

When I see the craftsmanship from 100 years ago I'm astounded by the quality, I try to be that good but I'm glad I live in a time of power tools.

yep this bloke knows what he's doing - although it helps to have a fancy chop saw and a sliding bevel -- . Four corner rooms are easy but if you've got to go round an old chimney breast and do external mitres Id get a decent chippy to do it rather than pissing around for days on end bisecting angles, filing off 45 degree mitres than don't fit, cutting mitres the wrong way and generally getting REALLLY ANGRY.

Another excellent demo - Particularly liked the tips about bisecting angles and gluing the mitre together - will get some of that adhesive!

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Mike Bewick glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@GvrnMHardr]

So this was fitting a miter without numbers. Wouldn’t it be much easier to use a Angle finder?

[@realsense3943]

Great job!

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

real sense thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Yes, i have a question: can you move to the US?

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Perpetual Student Haha we go on holiday to Florida every 2 or 3 years and I have often thought of moving there. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@CAKESLAPPA]

I love the no BS approach you have.

[@katastrophenschutzwa]

From another chippy. Far too long winded. Buy a digital angle finder to use in conjunction with your chop saw. Easy.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

katastrophenschutzwa you miss the point my friend! This video is aimed at diyers who are trying to save money by doing the job themselves. There is always a different way and numerous people have said to buy an angle finder but this is the way I was taught and it's never let me down! Thanks for watching anyway 👍🏼

[@katastrophenschutzwa]

I appreciate your time spent showing others. I guess it’s too easy to think your own way is always the best. 😳sorry. 👍

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

katastrophenschutzwa It's always easy to criticise! Thanks for your reply 👍🏼

[@shalomdiy9735]

As a DIYer, this video is PERFECT. explains everything so precisely. Thank YOU

[@5A1RA]

Great video. Well explained.

Umar Khawaja Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@garywelch7969]

Watched your video very helpful technique. Had all the tools apart from the glue/activator and scribe so decided to purchase them. Made a few mistakes along the way but can now say I would have struggled without watching your video. I've done 4 large rooms with lots of corners and uneven walls. Struggled with uneven floors!

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

There's always another hurdle to get over. You learn how to do something and straight away there's another issue to get over with the uneven floor. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe to help me out 👍🏼

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

David Ramsay glad you liked it 👍🏼

[@iantownsend4821]

Not as easy as it looks you got it spot on. Ill be trying it your way next time

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching and if you'd like to subscribe to my channel that would be great 👍🏼

[@Dan_C604]

Wow, this is probably one of the best videos. Your work is amazing but I wouldn’t be able to do it so perfectly. You rock.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Dan C If you take your time and do what I do then there is no reason you couldn't achieve results like me! Thanks for the great comment 👍🏼

Gotta love a thinker that uses geometry essentials to deal with non 90deg intersections. The method is sound... and quick. The vid is about 8 min, but I can assure you it would take him a fraction of the time if he was just working.... The CA glue is a hot tip as well. Nicely done, sir!
