Watched my dad doing this when he came to help me working on my first house. Like in the video, he cut every piece by hand with astonishing accuracy, using tools that he'd owned and used since he was a boy working in a joinery shop. Sadly he's not with us any more but really took me back to watch a skilled craftsman sharing the knowledge on here. Thanks.
Peter Piper Thankyou for that lovely comment! Sorry to hear about your dad but I bet every time you look at that skirting board you remember him and how he helped you and smile with pride that your dad was a skilled craftsmen and a gentleman! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Hi mate, just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this! I've come to this today to use as a tutorial to do a scribed skirting corner, which I've never done before. I've never used a coping saw for this kind of thing, so would never have thought to use that type of saw to scribe - has been perfect getting the curved profile. Really really great video and straight to the point - new subscriber!
This video is very instructional. Straight to the point with easy precise steps to follow just started to renovate the spare room to a baby's room and I'm using this method for the skirting boards.
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy got on better than I thought for a first timer. Could have done with a proper work bench though. But all part of the learning process thank you.
I've been looking for a decent scribing video for a long time. This is by far the best - best techniques, simple, straight forward. Probably the best result I've seen too.
Mate you have the best way of explaining this task. I watched a few other vids and just wasn’t getting it until I watched this and you explained it perfectly. Awesome channel and a new sub SCRIBER. Thanks heaps. 👍🇦🇺💪
Problem with videos like this is they make it look easy! I'll be doing my first skirts tomorrow, definitely feel better about taking it on after watching this, nice one!
This is a perfect example of why UK parents should encourage their average academic children to study a vocational course rather than studying a expensive soft degree. Having skills like this gentleman demonstrated will keep them employed for a life time. Remarkable skills, superb. Everton or Liverpool?
Charlie Sapphire I couldn't agree with you more. I was expected to go to university but I knew I wanted to go down the vocational route and I'm glad I did. I couldn't sit behind a desk all day. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks. I appreciate the explanation at the end on why not to measure the angle and mitre cut like you show in another video for an external corner joint.
Fantastic! I've just put new skirting in an new open plan area (with 14 corners!) and intuition was making me think I'd be mitring the internal corners but having seen your video I thought I'd give scribing a go. You made it look so easy, and with your tips it was! The back cut and highlighting the profile edge were particularly helpful. Will check out your other videos. Thanks!
Tried and tested for many years and it's still definitely the best. Although I do get numerous comments telling me to just mitre it and caulk it 🙈 Thanks for watching and be sure to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼
Even though I did not learn anything from this video I will say you sir did a fantastic job explaining how to do the job properly. I find that a jig saw with small fine blade does help speed up some of the work but this is great for people with minimal tools.
Thank you for your feedback, glad you found my video more useful than others. Thanks for watching and please check out my other videos and subscribe to help my channel grow 👍🏼
I was amazed at how you used the hand saw to cut at a 45 degree angle without having to double check the angle you had held the saw. Exceptional. Great information for those taking up carpentry as a trade.

Wow- doing those cuts freehand and doing a perfect job is amazing, I can tell you are a professional craftsman...for us home DIY-ers I think a mitre box would be needed for this and even after watching this I would be intimidated to create scribe joints and would probably go for the easier mitre joint, although I realise mitre joints look rubbish if the wood shrinks even by a tiny amount

This exactly how I was taught to do internal corners, best video on youtube on this subject. But I find it quite difficult on the double sided skirting boards. Tricky to mark out mitre and straight cut when there's a profile on both edges of the board.
Thanks for this. I am about to fit oak skirting to an old Victorian house. Your tutoring and saw skill is very good and I will follow this on some rather pricey oak that is getting a Danish oil finish as the wood is to add to the character of the room. The original skirting was ripped out in the terrible 80's and it is tough getting skirting to match the 1880's.
Thanks very much for your videos. I am renovating a house for my son and your videos have been absolutely wonderful for guiding me along the right lines. Thank you again.
Great seeing it done properly. Seems that peoples brains vacated when the chop saw moved in... Even people my age have trouble seing the point in coping, and we're talking people who do this for a living, and should know what it's about. Top job mate! 👍
20 odd years of practice and I'm still surprised when it's a good joint 😂 Thanks for watching and don't forget to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼
Good video thanks. I cut the straight cut on the mitre saw with only a slight back cut. Better job and more surface to hold wood glue, reduces the chance of shrinkage and gaps down the road.
Expertly done. I've tried this many times and it's really tricky when your walls are anything but square. Practice is the key I guess. It looks easy but it isnt.
I was lucky and cutting scribes came easily to me but I know many people find them really difficult to do. But practice does make perfect. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼
With taller skirting boards sometimes there isn't enough capacity in the throat of the saw so if you turn the blade the throat is out of the way allowing you to cut unobstructed. Hope this makes sense 👍🏼
Spend Time, Save Money, DIY I like the way you show all your tools on the job, and offer little tips from the trade, it’s obvious your a professional and not an actor or an annoying bearded American with thousands of industrial sized power tools inside their man cave. Keep up the British zeal for king and country! Bravo🤨
ZIPPERWAX haha thanks man! I have been a cabinet maker and joiner for 18 years! I have a home workshop with small machines but I work in an industrial machine shop where I do some filming 👍🏼
gary robinson Thanks for the comment! I always back cut quite a bit so there is less chance of anything getting in the way of the scribe closing up. Also if the cut is slightly out a rough piece of sandpaper is all that's needed to fine tune it! 👍🏼
nick evans back cutting is when you angle the saw so you cut more away at the back so only the front edge touches the other piece of skirting board. Hope this helps

thats a good tip, cutting away from the scribed edge and going back in square on for your next cut. tidy! got a big expensive victorian ogee to do soon and dreading messing it up. the walls are wonky / bowed in and out on each wall. more than you can get away with filling. hoping the mdf will bend enough to make it look ok. any tips on fitting? the plasterer has only come down to about 100mm off the floor in some parts, theres voids at floor level all around.
Thanks for this one very helpful for us DIY guys, PS is there now and electric saw, of some type to do this, Or do all carpenters still have to do it this way,i ask because, there seems to be a glut of new saws, and tools on the market these days,
Some carpenters use a jigsaw to cut their scribes. I have in the past but I prefer to use a coping saw. Thanks for watching and be sure to like share and subscribe to help the channel grow 👍🏼
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy It's a nightmare, I've not even got to the skirting yet and I've had two full days at it. walls and door frames all over the shop.
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy Thanks. The scribing has actually gone really well, I seem to find it quite easy, shame about the walls!! the external mitres are challenging, especially around the chimney breast.
Hi, very nicely done. Only point I’d make is that I hate to see people using a chop saw on the ground. Other than that a very professional approach the every carpenter SHOULD be doing. Subscribed.

You Sir are a legend, you're the only one to say cut the top off square.. I've been trying to cut it too a 45 degree angle and then having fitment issues, are all the external corners to be cut at 0 degrees ? , Some of my walls are miles out and the floor so they're not actually on the floor in places... hard stuff this is :/

Expertly done. I've tried this many times and it's really tricky when your walls are anything but square. Practice is the key I guess.
It looks easy but it isnt.
I was lucky and cutting scribes came easily to me but I know many people find them really difficult to do. But practice does make perfect.

Excellent demo of internal mitre cutting
Mike Bewick thanks for that 👍🏼
Hi, why did you turn the edge of the hand saw around please? Really helpful videos, thank you!
With taller skirting boards sometimes there isn't enough capacity in the throat of the saw so if you turn the blade the throat is out of the way allowing you to cut unobstructed. Hope this makes sense 👍🏼
Top tip - thank you very much for taking the time to post this, much appreciated

I like the way you show all your tools on the job, and offer little tips from the trade, it’s obvious your a professional and not an actor or an annoying bearded American with thousands of industrial sized power tools inside their man cave. Keep up the British zeal for king and country! Bravo🤨
ZIPPERWAX haha thanks man! I have been a cabinet maker and joiner for 18 years! I have a home workshop with small machines but I work in an industrial machine shop where I do some filming 👍🏼
Thanks, another good video. Really helps an amateur like me.
Glad you found my video useful.

Nice video mate I bring doing theese scribe joints for years and struggled but now you mention back cutting it think I will have a better finish 👍👍
gary robinson Thanks for the comment! I always back cut quite a bit so there is less chance of anything getting in the way of the scribe closing up. Also if the cut is slightly out a rough piece of sandpaper is all that's needed to fine tune it! 👍🏼
hi what is back cut ? thanks
nick evans back cutting is when you angle the saw so you cut more away at the back so only the front edge touches the other piece of skirting board. Hope this helps
yes i get it now thank you so much
Terrific video thank you. Not sure I could be as skilful as that .... for a long time.
adrian maxwell everyone starts somewhere and you will never get better unless you keep trying! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Proper tradesman at work . Great tutorial...
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 👍🏼
thats a good tip, cutting away from the scribed edge and going back in square on for your next cut. tidy! got a big expensive victorian ogee to do soon and dreading messing it up. the walls are wonky / bowed in and out on each wall. more than you can get away with filling. hoping the mdf will bend enough to make it look ok.
any tips on fitting? the plasterer has only come down to about 100mm off the floor in some parts, theres voids at floor level all around.
If you follow all my skirting videos you should be fine. Let me know how you get on.

having watched it a few times i get it and the end result looks good. Thanks very much for replying, a good watch.
Great video, great advice, thank you 🙏
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed my video 👍🏼
Thanks for this one very helpful for us DIY guys, PS is there now and electric saw, of some type to do this, Or do all carpenters still have to do it this way,i ask because, there seems to be a glut of new saws, and tools on the market these days,
Some carpenters use a jigsaw to cut their scribes. I have in the past but I prefer to use a coping saw.

Got the method, now all I need is the skill!
Let me know how you get on and if my video was any help 👍🏼
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy It's a nightmare, I've not even got to the skirting yet and I've had two full days at it. walls and door frames all over the shop.
@@TheDoosh79 stick at it. You'll be proud of what you can achieve 👍🏼
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy Thanks. The scribing has actually gone really well, I seem to find it quite easy, shame about the walls!! the external mitres are challenging, especially around the chimney breast.
Never seen this method before. Will definately try this on my 11" victorian skirting board I'm going to do. Thanks very much
You're welcome 👍🏼
Great help bro.. your a good teacher. Thank u so much. I appreciate u 👌

Thanks for watching 👍🏼
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy Will do.
Hi, very nicely done. Only point I’d make is that I hate to see people using a chop saw on the ground. Other than that a very professional approach the every carpenter SHOULD be doing. Subscribed.
Thanks for sharing. Very well explained. Not sure my result will be as tidy as yours but good to see how its done!
Hannah Sergeant thanks for your comment! Glad you liked my videos and good luck with your skirting boards, let me know how you get on and if my videos helped you.
Spend Time, Save Money, DIY you’re videos did the trick, we struggled with other videos and honestly we did a bad job on skirting board before but this time we are really pleased with the results! Nice one

You Sir are a legend, you're the only one to say cut the top off square.. I've been trying to cut it too a 45 degree angle and then having fitment issues, are all the external corners to be cut at 0 degrees ? , Some of my walls are miles out and the floor so they're not actually on the floor in places... hard stuff this is :/
This is really good. Keep going with the vids.
Wow.......Master of your trade........loved it !!
