Scott - you are an inspiration - I'm part of a professional curtain making forum in England and I watch lots of your videos - this one was sooo helpful - thanks so much.
Could you do a video where you add a contrast band of fabric to the bottom of a cornice as I'm really struggling with these and I get loads to do.
Many thanks

Scott, I love the step-by-step instructions and detailed explanations. Very helpful. I have your videos bookmarked. I would like to ask if you have any suggestions on how to join pieces of OSB or plywood when making a cornice board longer than 8 feet.

Thank you so much for great instructions! I was only able to get 1/2" thick dacron. Should I try to apply two layers?

Hi Scott - Thank you for these videos! Is there a recommended width(?) of wood that you recommend? 1/4"? 1/2"?

That was all I did for 30 years. Making one of a kind Custom Cornices...The name of by business for 30 = + years Mostly residential, which I like the best! More creative. Then now and then an office building etc 150 of all the same. Boring, but there was/is great $$$ in the commercial end...

Hi, love the video and planning to make 2 in the very near future. If my window opening is 72" how much should I add to the length? Also, I would like to install a drapery pole underneath the cornice so how much lower should I install it and lastly, how much should the returns measure?
Thank you in advance, Pat

Does a cornice board have to have a welt…or is it ok to skip that part? Thanks!
