Thanks for watching this video 👍🏼 if you're interested in the other skills that are needed to fit skirting boards then check out this playlist I have put together. th-cam.com/play/PLXCPne0LP4An5gZoIHk2EDCpdpdcEinPf.html
Very accurate work and clearly described. To be honest it's your skill that instills my trust in your videos. Definitely going to follow your demonstrations. Real good, cheers mate
This guy is fantastic, he explains everything in such simple terms and demonstrates how to do it with ease. I’m a beginner in all this and yet I’ve managed to do a great job under his instruction.
xjugadorx100 it's great to hear my videos have helped you, that's exactly why I make them. Thanks for watching and be sure to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼
Oh man! I have two left hands but im about to do the skirting board and the doorskirting next week. This helped for i have a long wall wich needs 2 pieces
Mate your vids are excellent, had skirting boards cut out in bedroom (kitchen extension girder fitted) had to replace some of them, so used your joining method and worked a treat, seamless joint. Also did same with jointing coving around ceiling and walls , could not believe the difference . I can't even remember where the joints are!
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I've been using a cheap Einhell compound mitre saw and ballsed up the 22.5 degree cut. Do recommend getting a sliding mitre or is there a way to manually do it? I cant seem to find a mitre box high enough to take the skirting (16cm).
Good but I always use Soudal D4 slighting foaming wood glue on joints and when set I do 2x 3mm wide horizontal cuts across the joint and hammer in 2x de-headed 100mm screws - these bite into the grove and then face fill with 2part wood adhesive. Never ever had a joint crack or open. By the way, I always put 2x screws vertically either side of all joints. Belt and braces I know but nothing worse than cracks in skirtings. Worth going the extra mile
perfection, thanks for posting. Any ideas/suggestions for those awkwards sections where the pipework from a rad gets in the way>. I'm placing 6" boards but the pipework means its infringing on the profie of the board.
All you can really do is drill holes for the pipes then cut the piece out to get the skirting on and glue the piece back in and fill as best as you can. When I put my radiators in I made sure they were high enough to not be in the way of the skirting. Plus I hate the look of radiators so I've made radiator covers for most of them. I have videos on a couple I've made. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe to help me out 👍🏼

Nice cut i think my recent issue was cutting the angle from the front and I dont think that works at all as my skirting are usually tidy but these are tourus 6 inch I think ill get onto it angles im fine with and have my own equation of x=angle 90-(x÷2) and thats thr mitre cut so say 94 degree obtuse wouod be 94÷2 = 47 then 90-47 = 43 meaning you set saw at 43 degrees
I have four inside decorative baseboard corners to connect. PROBLEM IS... The exact molding profile I need is no longer available for my 27 year old home. (I added a small wall) This is leaving me with having to find the best way to mate two slightly different moldings and end up with a decent result. I was thinking that I might be able to transfer the older moldings profile to the new moldings surface. I hope you might have some guidance for me. Thanks, Don
Tribulation Prepper I think the best thing you could do here is to scribe the old profile into the new skirting. The moulding won't match up but it will look neat. Alternatively get taller skirting so the old moulding is on the flat of the new and make the difference a feature!? Let me know how you get on 👍🏼
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy I have decide to use your option number 1. I will use the newer, (same height at least), skirting and scribe the old profile onto the new. Since I took the time to re-finish all of the old skirting, I will use the same American Walnut stain for the new and I doubt that the inside corner transition will be noticeable. Thanks for sharing your expertise and for your time. I will sub your channel and see what else I can learn from you. Again, THANKS... from Arkansas USA, home of Hitlery and the pervert. LOL
I've just watched three of your videos on skirting board mitres. I learnt a lot and mostly why none of my attempts at mitres in years gone by ever fitted properly. :-) Re the splice joint, will any glue do or was the stuff you used better than most. Thanks, great instruction.
Bob M thanks for that great comment. You can use any wood glue but that titebond 2 is a great glue. Pva would be fine. Thanks for watching and be sure to like, share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼👍🏼
notice skirting dont have any packing at the back, wont they go in from the bottom if some one kicks them, or carpet fitter uses a bolster to tuck carpet in?
Not with a strong screw fixing into the brick. If I'd have just used adhesive or nails then you would be right and I would have had to pack out or foam behind them. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe to help me out 👍🏼
Nice job but I would just continue with straight cut after 45 degree joint and continue with the small piece at the end which would be easier and faster for me..

Times I’ve cut the wrong mitre in a rush lol great videos mate 👍
Wayne Manship Thanks for your comment Wayne and thanks for watching 👍🏼
How do ya forget 45 degrees? 45 for all cuts, scribes, mitres, joints. Lol.
@@damien3225 I think means he sometimes cuts the mitre in the wrong direction
Also called a scarf joint. Thumbs up.Would love to see a video from you on mitre cuts for trim involving complementary angles. Thanks
Du mußt Ire sein, vermute ich.You mußt be Irish I guess.May God bless my most beloved Ireland...and you as well.
Would you biscuit them together so it always stays flush
I've never biscuited skirting and I've never seen anyone else do it.
It's probably over kill but no reason why you couldn't.
I bought plans from Stodoys plans and did it very quickly.
Never fitted MDF skirt before. I would normally pin joints in pine skirt. Is this not required in MDF? Great vid mate!
Quality videos!!!
