hi i'm charlie weis and today i'm going to show you how to achieve the perfect internal corners on your skirting board [Applause] so if details of all today's talk as usual will be in the description at the end of this video but in today's talking we've got Universal sore like this this is just a bog-standard saw like air wins because they're good value for money you've also got sores like this more fine toothed floor boarding sores on the market if you've got one of those you can use that just as easily then got the coping saw and once you've used the coping saw we might need to do a little bit of sanding so I've got my black & decker power file here don't worry I'm got one of these just as easy to get this is actually a piece of curtain pole a bit of dialing broom handle something like that with some reason we caught some paper on it I'll be showing you how to use that obviously a pencil I find that combination square really useful tool to have as well just to make just to mark your lines before you start soaring if your walls aren't completely true ninety degree to the floor this is another really useful to talk to have this is an adjustable square okay first off I'm going to show you how to scribe and internal corner on a rounded edge skirting board does not be rounded a two edge line it can be edgy or any form of skirting board set I'm going to line up this curtain ball that is buffing into and I'm drawing a line and then I'm just growing the curve around the top that now I'm going to cut down the skirting board to the curve straight [Applause] you see all stopped just short of the curve and taking a coping saw are now going to soar and curve I'm going to turn the coping for an angle so flimsy coping so Ashley this you can get much better quality one very slow [Applause] ah there we go I'm not sure that you can then place it against piece of skirting board see how its offering up need to take a little bit off the curve I'm going to pop out this could use a piece of something from a dowel rod or something similar never we got to get another future you'll see we've got that really beautiful joy the great thing about it the reason you do these joins it kills a lot of people be saying well my submission job nation I have achieved it but actually if you walk on completely square beauty this joint that you can just keep moving it you see that and the matter how at where your walls are you always have a lovely tight joint between this curtain rods so you're probably thinking well that's just around the neighbor plank of word easy thing described well I'm going to show you now has the exactly the same thing with tourists skirting board slightly more complicated shape but same principles apply so we've got our corner piece of skirting board that we're wanting to create a perfect internal corner for the two ways you can do this and they're demonstrated before you can just position your pieces of skirting board together and then with your pencil carefully mark a line on the lower piece of skirting board taking the shape of the the other piece like that now what I've also tried in the past is to turn the skirting board onto its back and then to mark the same shape on the back which is a little bit easier because you haven't got to go around the shape of the torus on the front and the way I've just demonstrated so that's what you end up with reasons I don't like doing this so much is because the critical shape that you're wanting to achieve needs to be on the front of the skirting board here and if you mark and cut the back of the skirting board there's like to be a little bit of deviation when you cut through the wood so you want the shape on the front to be more accurate than the shape on the back now a bit of a tip here so very well may in this video just positioning a skirting board against another one and marking a line what I'm what I'm doing here because this is square I'm assuming that the walls are going to be square so that when I've Mar that line that line is square on the piece of skirting board surface slightly Bend because the fit of skirting boards in the garage and it's getting build but what you're trying to do here is mirror the line of the wall and if your walls aren't completely square with the floor you're going to have a little bit of a problem when you put the skirting boards together because you might find that a gap because your beautifully scribed and cut line in a matchup so as a precaution double-check before you start before you start cutting that your walls are completely Square to the floor that nice agree to the floor if they're not that is when my adjustable square comes in handy and what you can do and I've got sketching boy here at the moment but imagine this is just walk most Gertie boards so what you can do is you can set the exact angle of the wall on your adjustable square and then before cutting you can put your adjustable square on the skirting board and just the line that you've drawn so that this line here is the exact angle of your floor against the wall okay so let's get cutting now as I said my scripting was unfortunately a little bit warped so I'm going to be following that line there but hopefully you've got a nice new flat skirting board I'm going to use my Owen Jack floorboard saw for this skirting board because the wood might be a bit brittle and the teeth on this saw a little bit finer than they were on the universal one so I get a cleaner cut cup number one I'm now going to take off this bit here because I want to be using my coping saw for as little as possible so I'm going to take off as much as I can okay finally I've got this tricky little angle in here so I'm going to go in there with the saw as well now what I'll have to do is remove this section here with my coping saw the blade is really bendy because it's a bit of cheap pitching saw this so I'm going to be very gentle with it you don't want to force it because you want as little flex in the blade as possible to get the most accurate curve as you can get now if you're really lucky you're skirting board will fit beautifully first time but I've got a couple of little adjustments to make this point and this curve are always where you've got to make adjustments in my experience so I've got to reduce that point and I've just got to lightly sand the curve so I'm going to do that now it's going to put the piece of skirting board back over so I can see what we're going to take off this time round using my power I'm going to use this obvious curtain Pole on with a bit of sandpaper wrap around it because it matches exactly the shape of my Taurus getting bored be careful not to take too much of this off because you don't leave too much for gap after all this hard work scribing it it's looking pretty good now just a little bit more to come off the corner piece I'm just going to use one of my off cups take a little bit off from the other side of the corner piece so there we go after just a couple of minutes standing we've got two pieces of Taurus skirting board to fit beautifully together so I really found this video useful to say as usual let me know what you think in the comment section below and also for those of you who watch my videos regularly this one's on the only music let me know what you think I have a few not so favorable comments recently about music so I'm going to give that go and finally if you're new to my channel I'd love to have you subscribe you can do that by clicking on the link here
