Great tip. Made getting an accurate cut much easier

Nice, thanks for that handy tip. I just use a dremel with a sanding barrel on it. Makes very light work and you can really get into those curves easily.

Hi Charlie, Another handy tip is to use an Angle grinder with a sanding pad on. Takes less time and with a steady hand can be very accurate.

Thanks Charlie - that is the best video I have seen on how to scribe cut internal corners.

Just what I needed!!!! I’m a skilled panel beater so I’m pretty handy but I would never have arrived at that method so thanks, my new oak skirting boards will thank you!!😊

Thank you very much for this helpful tip! Right in time!

A great sanding trick indeed on Gosford handyman is to spray glue a sheet of sandpaper to a piece of skirting, making sure it goes into the profile. Now you have a sander in the profile of the skirting to fine tune to corner edges.

Great stuff Charlie, just what I need. One thing - the other piece of skirting into the corner, assume its just a but joint into the corner and the scribed end does all the magic.

Just been doing my skirting and after seeing your previous videos went for MDF. I went with a square profile with 2 grooves cut in at the top. For the internal corners I used a 18mm (thickness of the board) router bit set to the depth of the grooves. This created a notch for the joint and any gap on the top from not being 90deg can be easily filled with the vertical joint being tight. Ended up in A&E for 13hrs after slitting my thumb with a Stanley knife while cutting back a notch for a radiator bracket!

Hi Charlie, good clear tip on this some times difficult job, I don't think I've ever found a 90 degree corner in any house I've been in, lol, so this method would take alot of frustration out of fitting skirting boards. Cheers mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

Your almost there for perfect cope fitting. One more tip butt the skirting up against the wall were its going to be fitted and adjacent wall and scribe with a compass . If the floor or wall are out of plumb the scribe will be at a angle. Now cut to the scribe line with miter saw. I hope you can make sense of this description 😁

[danielwarrington]

Another tip! I tend to use a Dremel with a wood bit to do the final detailing

[markdouglas]

Never been able to get this right BRILLIANT I’ve had great success cheers

[valborchardt]

Thank you dear, that was a great tip…..you take care as always

[meejhgggg]

OMG thank you...much better than scrible from offcuts 😮

[richardnaylor]

Great video buddy! I use a flap disc on a grinder and rub the excess wood away

[grimawormtongue]

Hi, just to confirm I have understood correctly.
Simply cut the skirting at a mitre cut, and cut the mitered section away?
