As a carpenter I can appreciate the time, effort and skill involved to produce this skirting. Excellent viewing, thank-you.
Thankyou Adam, I appreciate the comment matey. Good health 💪
It is a relief to see that there are still craftsmen around who are able to solve non standard problems in a creative way that is a finishing touch in gold.
Thank you.
Thank you Mark, really appreciate it 😎
You're work is truly underrated! To the steps you've taken to accomplish this is an art in of itself. Well done 👏.
Thankyou matey, really appreciate the kind words
Absolutely outstanding. I’d take pride over heavy profit any time. You’re a credit to the industry.
thankyou Mat. Not mat Newton with the 205 is it?
@@BradshawJoinery Good morning. No a different MN.
Proper craftsmanship.
Fantastic work, love seeing well executed carpentry like this.
Thankyou CHris, i really appreciate it
It's great to see this kind of work being done still and customers who are willing to pay for it as they obviously want the quality. I've had a run of curved work myself and the amount of work in templating is phenomenal.
Great video 👍👏
Thankyou! Yeah its deffo timeconsuming but i do love the challenge!
That’s why I laminate the base against the wall. Clean up the edges and rout the profile into to the face on a router table.
*IM NOT OFTEN* impressed by joinery on TH-cam - but this was great to see - patient steady away, professional work, great result.
Thankyou very much! I really appreciate it
Now maybe the people living in the house will know just how much work went into that small detail. Looks beautiful.
Yes the videos really help with that! Thanks
Outstanding. Usually, because of budget requirements, we end up cutting the arse out of a bit of MDF, but it is nice to see clients spending on joinery.
Haha yeah, usually utilising what you have available eh!
I think if I was going to pay for that work I wouldn't want it painted you might as well celebrate it.
That was an absolute masterclass and fascinating to watch.😀👍
Thankyou Norman 🙏
Astonishing piece of work. It's really irritating that you always seem to know the best method to achieve the goal - i.e., what will work and what won't. Exceptional.
Thankyou John, they are just ideas run through in my head I guess. If I can picture it working it normally does but I've had one or two failures. Maybe they just honed my ability to know what will work haha
Wow, nice comment dude! You hid a slam inside of a compliment! What skills you possess!
But why does his expertise irritate you? Do you do it differently than him? And then feel the need to cut him down to elevate yourself? If he keeps irritating you, why do you keep watching? Why do you feel the need to make him aware of your irritation? In the shop where you work, does this method of denigrating the smart and industrious makes you appear to be the arbiter of truth and worth to those who choose the next boss? You know, whoever is bossiest, must be smartest, so, somewhere, are you in charge?
What point are you trying to make by telling him that he irritates you?
To set him on his heels and make him respond apologetically thereby assuring yourself of your position above him?
Malicious judgement obscures talent, creativity, ambition and hope!
But don't you already know that? If you use malicious judgement as a tool here, do you not use it in your shop? Or your family? Or your life?
Do you recognize your own ability to gain and maintain dominance of others and embrace that ability?
Or did you just whip that comment out and then pressed send without enough of a proofread and it was all just simple error. "I'M SORRY, I MADE A MISTAKE!" That excuse always works right? If it doesn't, just say it louder. Then repeat it, more loudly.
That's what always used to work on me. Then I would apologize back to the person who had offended me. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
I , too often, have judged others in the same way that my subconcious self judges me.
What I have recognized in others, is that which I have first recognized in myself. Recognizing my own truth requires harsh self judgement. And I have also judged you harshly. And if I judged you wrongly.
I owe you an apology.
If I have to say I'm sorry, it's too late.
But a late apology is better than no apology.
Especially if it is sincere.
An apology without sincerity, well, that's just words without meaning.
It all starts with recognizing our error.
Then owning it.
Just like my father told me.
So if I judged you wrongly then I must be projecting myself on to you.
I'm sorry for that.
But I'm not the one that told him that everything he does very well is irritating.
That was you.
@@Estwing22 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear! Please, please, please! Look behind the words! Irritating, he most certainly isn't. It is a marvel that Oliver always seems to find the right solution and the calibre of his craftsmanship puts me in my place.
If you look at Oliver's reply I think you will see that no apology is necessary and I certainly won't be making one. I'm astonished that you should take my compliment to him that way. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@johnbolwell5969 @John Bolwell I am looking behind the words. You're right, no need to apologize, you are just being victimized by my misunderstanding.
A slam inside a compliment. That takes practice. It is not inadvertent. I am not unfamiliar with bullies or how they act when the person they are punching down at stands up to them. When the person we are punching down at stands up to us.
I've been complimented at the same time that I've been put in my place before. I thought it was just a nice way to holler at me. You told him that it is irritating that he knows the best methods. Are you telling me that statement is a compliment? Oh dear, this is so confusing.
Yes. I could be wrong. I can be wrong. If I am wrong, I am sorry.
I know, those are just words if I don't feel it inside. See, inside, I feel like I recognize you, me, us. And I try to discourage that part of me.
But what if I got called out for calling someone irritating? Once you say something, you can't immediately change your mind so you become invested in your statement and you must defend it even if you have already changed your mind inside, so I would probably hedge a bit and argue that my comment shouldn't be taken as inconsiderate. But how would I do that? It is. After floundering in the river of denial for a while I think I would have to acknowledge my mistake. I think I would apologize. And if I didn't, I should. And if I can't acknowledge my mistake to the person I inflicted myself on, hopefully, I can at least acknowledge it objectively to myself so that I won't blame others and then go on and repeat my mistake.
If I can recognize my own talents and failings then I can know what parts of me need to be discouraged and encouraged. And if I find that I have low skill levels at the parts that deserve encouraging, practice will improve those skills. The parts that need discouraging? Put em in a room and close the door. But don't lock it. It's part of you. Because what in one situation is considered a detriment may, in a different situation, become an asset. Basically, be honest with yourself.
This is repetitive and exhausting. It feels like the horse that is being beaten died yesterday.
But let me redund this thing once more,
If I tell you that you irritate me, then I understand how you might be offended.
I shouldn't inflict myself on you. Though I have.
I'm sorry.
@@BradshawJoinery if you're like me, I lay awake in bed the night before I start a job like that, running every scenario through my mind, over and over and over and.... 😂
Fantastic work and finished result Ollie. I'm sure that the client would be very impressed but also it sounds like you enjoyed making them too.
Thanks matey, I did enjoy it, I love a challenging project I can make look nice!
Since i was 19 i was taught site carpentry
2nd fix
1st fix
Flooring
Maintenance work etc
Im now 25 and have just taken job as a laminator/trainee joiner so ill be watching your vids more than scott brown from now on 👍👍
NIce one Ned, Hopefully you can pick up a thing or two :)
I've no idea how I found this but I loved it. Congratulations on an outstanding bit of carpentry. Worth every penny to the homeowner I'm sure.
Hey Gareth! Welcome and thankyou very much. Really appreciate it.
Theirs levels to most things .. top level carpenter ..
Brilliant. Nice attention to detail 👌
Thankyou Paul 🙌🙏
Beautifully done
Thankyou!
EVERYBODY who makes things needs the odd project where they put their best work before profit. It’s great when your kids or grandkids can say proudly “my dad made that!”
Absolutely! Everytime I see a project I put my all in to I'm proud to look at and admire which lasts alot longer than the bit of profit you may or may not have made!
Bloody brilliant as ever. Not seen a posting for ages. Good to have you back on our screens!
Thankyou Philip, I really appreciate it
The trick is taking your time & thinking it through. Perfect process, perfect job, perfect finish. 👍🏻
Absolutley! Amen to that
Stunning work - that must have cost a fortune to the client (quite correctly also!)
Cheers Mat, it wasnt too bad on cost (imo) It was 2 long days in the workshop to get ready for fitting (all 3) then a days work installing. Expensive but not ridiculous.
Dude, absolutely masterful. Thanks for sharing your process, insanely well done!
Absolutely superb piece of craftsmanship
Thankyou for that 💪💚
What an amazing piece of work, thank you for sharing 🤩👏👌
Thankyou for the comment and I'm pleased you enjoyed mate 👍
So nice to see some brilliant hard work going in to making a quality finished product, better than would have been done back in the good old days when we built things to last.
Thanks Michael, I try to do as quality as possible. Still humbled by the quality of some of the older pieces in stately homes etc but I guess alot of that work was part of a bigger team and not an individual like me.
That was a pleasure to watch. I wish I had had the chance to do my apprenticeship under someone like you back in the day.
Thanks Ben, yeah thats the reason i am doing the videos. To give back the knowledge. Its being lost!
You answered my question in the clip but either you have a client who doesn’t question your bill or you earn less than half of what you deserve !
Lovely work .
:-)
Thanks Nick! :) This Client is prepared to spend what it costs to have it done properly which is nice
excellent work as always, like the bit where you said I'm not making enough money because I'm spending too much time on a project .which can only mean one thing your jobs are coming out tops.
Right on, thankyou!
Super job, I did exactly the same about six years ago with oak construction veneers, it was quite a bit taller and longer and it took three of us on the spindle to mould a very large mould. I made two cauls or formers to laminate it up and almost as many cramps as we could lay our hands on to clamp it up. Generally you really need your ribs no further apart than around 75mm otherwise when finished if you catch the light you may see slight shadows where the ribs in the formers were. It's great to see a craftsman still doing the really hard jobs, money does not compensate for the satisfaction of seeing a job done well, knowing most would run a mile from such difficult work. Great to see you share your work.
Thankyou Gary! Pleasure to share stuff like this I am trying to find the time to do it more. Thanks for sharing your experience, I've only done a few oak laminations, but assume you had 2mm ish thick oak?
Craftsmanship all over the place. The end result is stunning…👍👍
Cheers for that! :)
That is top drawer skill right there.. I have a job to cut a piece of CLS 😂
You have all the gear and all the idea/ skills to utilise them..well done.. 😊
Thankyou matey! Cls can be tricky/not the best to work with to be fair hha
wow, that's straight-up perfection!
Thankyou ❤️
excellent craftsmanship
Outstanding workmanship bud 👏
Kieth at Rag n Bone Brown and Matt at Badger workshop, gave you a shout out on their podcast, so i popped over to have a look......5 minutes in and i'm a subscriber, bloody brilliant work mate!!!
now I have a weekend binge watch, whooo hooo!!
Hi John, i had a quick look. Keith has reccomended the channel before and they are both good guys, thankyou for brining it to my attention.
This is sensational. I'm a joiner/carpenter myself, but hats off to you. Thanks also for the sash plans / SketchUp drawings, I recently purchased those from you, I can only hope that this tiny donation can contribute/recuperate to the losses from this job 😂 thanks man.
That's so much better than kerfing.
Brilliant job and thanks for the recommendations (glue/drills) we all learn from each other. 🙂🙂
Cheers Andrew! Kerfing is a last resort if you have straight lengths and need to make a curve there isn't reall another option
Great job. Well done. Ive come across this situation before. My solution was using 6 inch mdf skirting. Wedging between blocks screwed to the wall and floor to create a bend. Leaving it overnight. Once set like this its very easy to fix to curves.
Stunning job!
Superb work there, never see that standard of work on the jobs I go on to decorate
No I bet! Some of the "finished" carpentry I've seen is horrific. Feel sorry for anyone following it
I admire your patience. Its hard to keep focus when you know your not making much money out of it! Top notch finishing work 👌
Thankyou! yes thats difficult, but just have to enjoy the process wether making money or not. otherwise life sucks haha
Brilliant piece of work. I'm always impressed by your craftsmanship.
Thankyou 🙌🙌👍
Thank you very much for your videos. It is incredibly helpful to see how a professional does things!
Thankyou! :)
Very impressive! Trim carpenter from the U.S.A. Excellent use of templates, tools , and jigs.
Thank you very much Steven 😊😊😊🙏🙌
Excellent work
Beautiful work. Well done, Sir.
thankyou Oliver
As always - just superb!!!
thankyou!!!!
This is the best way to do this. I’ve seen so many janky techniques but this is the most professional. 😍
THanks Bud, Yeah when customer wants the best then need to spend some time on it, which a lot of comments dont seem to appreciate...
Just outstanding!
great job. thats the right way to do it. we often kerfed the hell out of painted skirting to get it to bend then heaps of 2 pac filler and a bit of shaping. its not the right way, sometimes you'll see the kerfs but with time pressure on jobs sometimes we have to choice. great to see it done right.
Cheers Marc! Yeah that is a good solution for gentle curves and quite often used as you say when straight lengths are available and on site!
Excellent. Immaculate work as always and great seeing you apply your craft.
As a bonus for me you showed how to get an even skim over a plug hole - something that has defeated me as an amateur until now! Just the rest of the skills to learn and I'm on my way :)
Cheers Matey, yeah its a little bit tricky to get it perfect in one hit, so i ususally deep fill and scuff flush then fine fill a few mins later when set.
Don’t try too hard to get an even skim on the first try. Either over fill and sand back to flush or come back before it’s completely set and get somewhere closer to a skim fill. Either way choose a decent filler as that is often the source of the issue.
FM. You're a revelation. Phenomenal skill.
thankyou Michael, 😃
Very nice work i my self have done some work like that on a staircase it’s so satisfying 😎🪚🔨
Thankyou Colin! Challenging and rewarding
Proper job! Thanks for sharing this one :) I'm going to use that method for ring fence moulding large pieces some day.
Thankyou! this video seems to have been really well received, 50k views in a few days! Unreal. Im pleased you can learn something from it too. Cheers
Beautiful job. Very nicely done.
Thanks Anthony! :)
You make it all look so easy, like professional football or rugby players, but like all professionals and great craftsman, the easy part wasn't probably learned over night. Always enjoy....cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
Thankyou Richard, haha i sometimes do forget i do this everyday ha. Back to reality when you try something left handed normally... a good starting point for instructing someone else
I looked at all the work that went into this and thought - there's no way all that work isn't worth much more than £1k. Awesome job.
Thankyou James. It was about 3 days work in total so probably about right. I know I should charge more maybe 🤔🤣
@@BradshawJoinery I think it depends, measuring your worth over a job like this doesn't make sense to me.
It's the overall larger jobs and materials , pricing, manufacturing etc that I would consider. e.g. on this job there is some expensive machine time, extra materials, paint etc.
Stellar job 🤩 only 10 minutes video for hours and hours of work ❤
It's actually really difficult to condense the videos down but I think it's worth it. Although there will always be education info lost in reducing them down which is a shame
When someone make it all look so easy, you know you’re watching a true craftsman!
That was a brilliant job👍
It looks stunning.
I have a couple of internal curved pieces of skirting below the bay window in my 1930’s house, and the ‘ain’t anywhere as good as yours🤣🤣🤣
All built quickly and down to a cost in those days…. Never thought about making laminated skirting like that, but obvious when you see it done.
Many thanks for a detailed and descriptive video, I enjoyed watching that very much.
Thankyou Monty! Maybe you can sort them out by replacing!?
What a superb job, I bet it put a smile on your face as well as the clients! 👏👍😀🍺
Yeah it did, really enjoyable job to do! :)
Carpentry at the next level. Great to see. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou Tony
That was one of the best videos I’ve watched. You are on another level.amazing work and stunning finish
Thankyou Paul 🙌 you are very kind
Awesome job attention to detail.🙌
Thanks Mark!
That was awesome. I wouldn't mind seeing the plasterer do his thing on those curves!
I think he had fun because the blockwork was quite notched and it's restoration plaster not normal 😂
Amazing work, Oliver. I also take longer than I should over a job but that’s because I spend too much time working out how to do it. You are not just a craftsman, you are an artisan. Brilliant work and, as always, thank you for sharing 🌞
Thankyou Ray, your a true gent and I hope you are well. 😊🙌
Well done 👍🏻 takes a lot of time to prep & properly install.
We use plaster/ cement moulding to all funny corners.
Thankyou bud, there are flexible skirtings available if you search just that, but this client wanted proper timber
@@BradshawJoinery
Flexible one has some limits unfortunately.
Best one will be to use your technique, unfortunately not to many clients realised how much work it is to make one, they’re not happy to pay the “extra”
Good luck with your projects 👍🏻
Ahh interesting, I've never had hands on with it! It's it flexible in all directions or just the one? What material is it?
@@BradshawJoinery
Google them, Orac Decor.
Enjoyed the manufacturing process Ollie. Plaster walls are always a nightmare, good thinking referencing at the top visual point. Thanks for the drill bits tip. The skirtings look superb. Tony
Thanks Tony, I will admit they do look superb! 😊 The plaster was a pain when it's so simple for the plasterer to make it right 😞
@@BradshawJoinery working from the top was choice of experience, plaster is always uneven at the bottom, I can't count how many times I have had to bolster it off to get skirting to fit.
Quality as usual Ollie, your work is on another level 👏👏
Thankyou Brian, legend 🙏
Great video ! As an alternative to the tile wedges, I carry popsicle sticks, bought from the craft store in various widths, which are then filed / sanded to the shape and size needed for the job.
I use these for all caulking work, leave a much better finish than a finger smear. I find having clean hands helps to create a much better finish and working space. Paper towel and the sticks work well.
I have never seen OB 1 sealant, we use polyurathane a lot, doesn't shrink and much more sturdy than standard painters caulk like Alex Plus etc.
thankyou! Yeah good shout! The longer handle of the stick would be handy for sure. maybe superglue a wedge to the stick for a hybrid. Ive never used PU sealant. ill give it a go.
I’m no carpenter but that’s a great job, enjoyed watching the process. Very talented.
Thankyou, it's great to hear a non carpentry audience is enjoying😊
Great job Ollie ...as always
Thanks Paul
Superb technique, great video, and as usual - a joy to watch. Even though I’ll likely never do one of these myself I still think I learn from watching you do it. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou Peter. Really appreciate it! ☺️
Really nice job. I did a job for someone last year and for the curved walls. They actually used rubber skirting that they got in America run to match the skirting
Ive come across this flexible skirting and coving, how is it? one comment on here said it had its limitations
@BRADSHAW JOINERY I've only used it once with ogee skirting. I think the guy gave a sample of the skirting to get a cutter machined to match the profile. The only negative was it was 16mm instead of 15mm. So the skirting needed a mil packer, but it was convenient and saved making up the laminations
Great skills and the result is superb
Thankyou matey
Nice, I've had a few jobs where the curve wasn't that pronounced and I've managed to cut vertical rebates in the back of the skirting and then glue and fire pins, but laminating is the only way for that much of a curve, fair play, that turned out lovely! That's one of those where you hope the plasterer hasn't flaired the bottoms. 😂
Yes kerf cutting is a common way to tackle this with standard stock! Bloody plasterer eh!
blimey! As you say if you quoted the client the appropriate price for the work, materials and machinery, they would have a heart attack. At least these videos show the work that needs to be put in
Yeah, generally if i show a client a video from their project they are astounded by the work involved and say i should charge more.
Great video, a nice way to do this is just have 90 degree walls and you can just mitre two pieces together and don't have to make a curved board.
Haha! Yeah true. In that case though, why not have walls to the floor and no skirting board.
I’m a 24 year old carpenter, i love what I do.
But this, holyshit. That was a piece of art, not just abit of skirted
Thanks Matey, good the hear and you are very kind. The feedback makes it worthwhile!
This looks great, a good job done well
Thankyou 👍👍💪
Absolutely beautiful. You're a skilled man, be proud.
Thankyou Johnson ☺️ I am proud of this one
Great stuff. I have a curved wall just like that with a very lumpy bumby skirting board that was kicked in by the builder. You got me thinking about sorting it out properly now.
Nice one Matt. It is certainly very rewarding to look at so worth the effort in my opinion
Very nice workmanship. No winkle spanners on this job.
Haha Thanks Kev 🙏
Lovely Ollie. You don't cvhanrge enough buddy!
Hey up Matt, Amen to that. I bet you dont either haha! hope you are well
I use masking tape before making any holes so I can apply filler material and just remove the tape after knifing the filler in. Makes me look like a pro at almost no extra time and effort
Exceptional work
Thankyou So much!
You're not a joiner, you're a bloody artist my man!
Haha thanks Paul! Love it :) Good health to you bud
As always; impeccable work
Thankyou so much! ☺️
That is simply beautiful work! I have installed rubber curved molding and each time I do HATE it.
Cheers mate, so is the flexible moulding rubber then? ive never had hands on
Beautiful work!
Thankyou buddy 😊
Nice one Ollie, as we have always said were the curve starts the profit ends
Cheers Jim! Haha yeah 😂😂
Beautiful work 👍
Thankyou!
totally worth it. Subscribed
Thankyou Lance 💪
excellent! laminating thin strips is my goto way of making curved pieces. thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate, yeah it's definitely the most reliable
Gotta love a bent lamination! Nice form work and I am surprised there wasn't any springback!
Thanks matey, yeah it worked really well and didn't cost anything in materials. I think no spring back because of the amount of layers. Normally get a little with PVA but they were solid
Very, very, very good
Thankyou matey! 💪
Very nice! I've done something similar with aero ply, many times. Also, I second the use of MultiConstruction Drill Bits. They can save a lot of time.
Nice one! Yeah there are quite a few solutions to this one! I really rate the drills, used to burn through long drill bits installing window frames, these being long and durable are perfect for that job
@@BradshawJoinery True story: my brother in law worked on a gang upgrading council houses with new windows. Another gang worked twice as fast, and when he asked them how they managed this, they told him they didn't bother with mechanical fixings, but just stuck the frames in with expanding foam. This was years ago, and I've not heard of windows falling out, so I assume their gamble paid off!
Insightful & inspiring. Thanks !
Thankyou Peter
Very impressive! I love this kind of attention to detail & workmanship 😊
Thanks Brian, good to hear! 👍
Awesome work! 👍
Cheers Andy!
Wonderful craftsmanship and a real labour of love. Hopefully your client was happy to cover all the costs associated with making and installing such a piece?
Cheers Mat, yes very happy it was a good job for everyone tbh! 😊
