I've just extended my bathroom and ready to fit the scotia / coving to the ceiling, When I was on the tools many years ago it was coping saw and back cut. My scotia is made of plaster, but it is not a problem to cut it on my combination saw, we also can purchase it in MDF. or wood. What I would like to say to you John, if only I had school teacher's back in the fifties and sixties that had been half as good as you at explaining and teaching with a calm and pleasant manner, I would most probably have been an academic!!! Instead I only learnt how not to grimace when getting six of the best on each hand!!

John, the b and q coving .the more expensive one you can get is a better looking mould when painted. IT is lighter cheaper and stixks on easy with the solvent free yellow gripfill.and you get the same effect.only problem it comes in 2 metre lengths. Slightly angle grind the edges and butt them up to each other and fill with caulk.credit card the excess .let dry and sand with180 grit.no joints are seen .save you a fortune on moulded stuff

Love to get an update video on the worksite table saw. Stood at the local shop staring at a Bosch, Dewalt, and a Metabo, for probably an hour. That wonky fence has me concerned, just getting into woodworking, done mostly metal work my life. I can be a bit overkill on precise measurement, wondering if it’s been a pain or it’s been ok? The dewalt seems to be the elite, but the price is to match. As a weekend woodworker that seems to be a bit silly, but if it’s precise, all the time. That goes a long way into my pockets. Glad I found your channel. Matthew from Calgary Canada 👍🏻

Hi John, great video. Im having trouble on some of my corners in a room where the corners are not 90 degrees. So I have been bisecting the angle, so the left/right cuts are equal (more or less than 45) Is that the best method?

@redboy6354 Ай бұрын

Hey John, really having problems with the job I am doing tomorrow - if the internal corner isnt 90 can you use the mitre protractor to get the mitre angle? And does this technique work only with this type of coving or all coving? Thanks 🙏

@danielbass09 8 ай бұрын

What is your cornice made of where you are from? Here in Australia it is almost always made of plaster. That cornice the way it cut on the saw looked like wood or plastic?

@tomaszwezykowski 10 ай бұрын

Hi! Thanks for great video. I have one question: what type of blade do you use for your mitre saw? I tried cutting with mine and it started melting the coving... Thanks.

@danielbass09 8 ай бұрын

What cornice for you use? Plastic if it is melting? Here in Australia or cornice is almost always plaster.

@cuebj Жыл бұрын

Assuming the corners are 90 or 270 degrees. Not back cut and cope?

@dtharte Жыл бұрын

Hi John, are the set stops on the bosch using detents on the protractor? Have you had to adjust/correct the angles or does it hold well. Also my wife has just asked what colour paint are the walls in the room getting the coving. 🙄

There are detents, I set it up once and haven't had to touch it since. You can tell your wife that my wife says its Teal. 😁

Hi John that t 83mm does that only apply to that size coving cus I got smaller coving and 83mm didn't work. My coving is edge to edge 90mm.

@JohnMcGrathManInShed Жыл бұрын

83mm is only for the size I was using. Set yours up on the mitre saw like I have shown in the video and get an equal measurement on the base and on the fence of the saw

I have never seen a product like this here in the US, very interesting that its foam, is that the norm over there in the UK? Here the standard would be made of wood or MDF, nailed into studs, then painted. Cool to see how things are done in other parts of the world.
