Great video here. I watch all of the Candleman's videos, and I am also a professional painter and decorator, and I learn a ton from this channel and can't thank the Candle Man enough for all the videos he makes and for all the help his work is to me. Thanks again Candelman 🍻
The wood blocks and stacking the coving in the position it will go up on the wall in the mitre is the two key points here that helped me to complete a job that was driving me crazy. Cant thank you enough!
Oh my god mate, thanks so much for doing this video - I was literally questioning my own intelligence trying to do this and getting into a right tizz. Followed your steps and got the job done. Thanks so much, you’re right all the other videos don’t show you the cutting process and cutting at the angle.
thanks for this. I've been struggling and swearing all day and my wife found me this, despite my strong stroppy objections! But, tomorrow is a new day and your tips will help I'm sure!
I sadly have watched numerous TH-cam videos on cutting coving and whilst I have clearly not seen them all, I have to thank you for yours. It was excellent and you covered things that the other skipped over and assumed people will know. Well done you as you have really helped me and a sincere thank you
Brilliant and you are absolutely correct that all of the other videos on making external corners are hopeless. Your conversion of the mitre block was extremely helpful and led me to come up with an even better conversion. I cut full height wooden blocks the correct width to rest the coving on which gave me the required depth from the ceiling corner. It worked so well that I did not need to secure the blocks at all. Thanks again.
Helpful video! I've been looking for an adjustable mitre box but have decided to make a box to fit the cornices (if I understand right this should allow me to get my cuts right.
nice job. another way to find the internal and exteranl angle is to offer up the length of cove (like you say measure the distance out from the top and down on the wall) to the ceiling/wall, internal or external angle, pencil line top and bottom and where the pencil line crosses mark it top/bottom on the coving. do that on both the lengths of cove, then free hand cut (with a support to get the correct possition the cove will be if on the ceiling/wall) make sure you cut the correct direction for an internal or external. Then when you put the two length back up you will find you'll be closer to the angle of the wall than trying to cut 45degree cuts each time.. often with even less filling.
Aww great tip with the blocks of wood in place does this method apply to all styles of coving and the cuts including external internal and end finishes xx
If you buy the right mitre block there should be no need to screw in wooden blocks. Fine tooth saw is what you want to cut it not just any hand saw, even easier and cleaner cuts with a chop saw.
measure 80mm across the bottom of the mitre box and mark with a pencil. Cut a block equal to the remaining measurement and place in the bottom of the mitre box hard against the edge closest to your body, now u have the required 80mm ceiling projection. Place cornice face up in the box with the ceiling part in the bottom taking the 80mm and wall part pushed against the back edge, now cut your mitres. extract from box rotate 180 degrees and put it up. Saw blade will chip the decorative front face if you cut the back like this guys doing with this setup.... its definitely not how its done.
you can get adujustable mitre boxes that mean you dont need to do wack techniques like this. you should always cut into the face of the cornice not into the back of it
This is the video that TH-cam needs to show first on its "how to cut coving" search list. Thanks a million mate.
First time I’ve seen this explained properly, thank you very much, great video 😊

Brilliant. So easy to follow. Thank you sooo much. Fed of waiting for people to do this for me!

Thanks so much, you’re right all the other videos don’t show you the cutting process and cutting at the angle.
Thanks for the video. First explanation I have seen for using a standard mitre box for coving and the explanation for the different depths.
Whao- THANK YOU - you’re explanation was exact, down to the point and BRILLIANT-
thanks for this. I've been struggling and swearing all day and my wife found me this, despite my strong stroppy objections! But, tomorrow is a new day and your tips will help I'm sure!
Thank you, this goes into more detail than a lot of the other videos out there.
Your welcome 🕯🫖☕️

Helpful video!

Excellent explanation thanks very much now I see what I wasn't doing.
Thanks for taking the time to explain in a clear way.
You are awesome! Thanks, after watching other videos I was making a right mess of it - you saved me with my last long length of coving!!!!
brilliant video. clear and concise. Cheers mate
Thanks so much! That modification on the mitre box is genius!
Cheers pal, your video is a life saver
Well that's one of the great mysteries of life explained perfectly! Onward and upward (to the bathroom ceiling cladding!)

Nice video 👍
Very good at what you do my favourite on you u tube. Love your style
This was so helpful, thanks
Thanks for going to the trouble of making a proper instructional video, which 90% of you tubers have not got a clue how to do.
Aww great tip with the blocks of wood in place does this method apply to all styles of coving and the cuts including external internal and end finishes xx
Brilliant m8! Love all ur vids.👍
Great video, thanks for you help.
Top dude great video

Brilliant 🙉🙉👍
What if you don't own a mitre block?
Bloody brilliant!
Hi sorry did I miss something you said you would show both external AND internal but as far as I seen you only did external. Help
Nice one mate
Nice vid bud.
If it aint square why cut at 45 cut at proper angle
Good man
Jesus Christ I was forgetting about the 80mm!!!!!!!!
how many times do you really need to say the 80mm part..
good vlog cocker ..
you can get adujustable mitre boxes that mean you dont need to do wack techniques like this. you should always cut into the face of the cornice not into the back of it
Great video Candleman! Why did you kick me from whatsapp group? I felt like part of the family! 💔
Martin Boyce
Spy 🕵️ in the group reporting to boss, will restart later
We'll get some work done now during the day. 😂😂
Fair play Candleman. Can't be having people snitching. Always useful to hear yours and others tips and advice! 👍🏽
Brilliant tech support but watching with family then that last bit comes in with all the swearing!!!?? What is your reason for that!?
Construction.
Waste of time
