Thank you for watching
Yes! This is the only tutorial I've found that actually works for me. All these others using a mitre just didn't work out for me at all. Fobbed that off and hey presto, pretty much on point! Legend 👍🏾
You are a sweetheart Adam I'm glad this helped you finally figure the mystery of coving. Thanks for commenting have a great day
Just what I was looking for during this DIY corvid period. Instead of buying expensive options for a job a will not do again for 10 years. Your a star!!
Andre, thanks for your kind words. You are a star also. I am happy the video helped you. Have a great day & thanks for commenting
My dad is a carpenter he uses the same way as you did..but he passed away without me knowing anything..but thank you so much..much much easier way..old school but accurate..
God Bless..
Max sorry to hear your fathers passing. You are welcome I am happy the video helped. Have a great day
This is very easy to follow than the mitre box..thanks for the video
Yes, that dratted mitre box not good for me, as often walls and ceilings were way out of alignment and that thing did not work. Thanks for commenting
Thank you very much. My brother was struggling to figure this out and I finally managed to get it done for him.
Thank you Hibinator, happy the video helped you. Have a great day
I did some giving on a job some years ago but have completely forgot how to do it again, bought a angle cutter and a mitre box today and tried for 2hours to get one corner going , in the end I have up and watched a few tutorials on the tube which I still couldn't understand i was resigned to getting a fitter in to do it for me tomoro that was until I watched your video, it's been brilliantly made and you've taken your time to explain each cut u an convinced I'm going to have it done in the morning , thanks for the education.
You are welcome Burkit Ali, I am happy the instructions help. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day
Old school thanks for sharing they don't do it like they used to that's for sure look forward to hearing from you God bless I'm new here to your community
Thank you for subscribing I hope you enjoy all my videos. Have a great day
Wow thanks I have been struggling with this. My roof is not 90 degrees. It is lower on the one side and higer on the other. This helped me cut the conners perfect. I take my hat off thanks a million.
Thank you so much for this video. As others have said, it's so much clearer explaining the mitre cutting really well. Thank you again, very much appreciated.
You are most welcome, Jane Hay. Thanks for commenting, have a great day
Really helpful video mate. It made my first attempt at installing cornices easier than I thought. Thanks for the top tips!
I wish I can say that about my first attempts lol. A MIND-NUMBING NIGHTMARE to work out the cutting angles of those interior and exterior miters. Thanks for commenting have a great day
Absolutely brilliant, you helped me a lot for a complete beginner I was able to cut the mitre joints easily. I watched umpteen other videos who were all using mit re boxes but my corner joints were completely out. So thanks Dale!
You are most welcome I am happy it helped. Thanks for commenting have a great day Johno Irie
Thanks Dale. You made it look simple. Just finished our living room.
That is great new I am happy I came of assistance, now how about a few pictures of your finished work? Have a great day. Thanks for commenting
Brilliant tutorial mate, thank you
Joe, you are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a great day
This was sooo helpful
Thank you Gideon, much appreciated. Have a great day
Subscribed cheers mate we use a mitre box in Australia but it can only cope with certain angles. You answered a question that's been plaguing me on different angles other than 45s or 15s and you didn't even mention how to make it happen but from what your video taught me answered my question. I can only hope my hair will start to regrow now that the stress is gone
Good day judoslap59
I am happy these instructions finally help you sort your cornice / coving quibble out, and I pray for your hair to grow thick, wild and in abundance.
As it happens, I used to live in Australia (Sydney - Matreville) way back 1968 - 1971
At the time, in the UK, the government were offering families with skilled parents the opportunity to flourish there, for a measly boat fare of around £10 (I think.)
My dad was a master chef and worked on the airplanes, (Adset Airways) cheffing, and also those MASSIVE quarry wagons, plus he was a fire chief (he was a bit of an entrepreneur) so all was good
We stayed for 3 years and came back. The land and the people are fantastic and would love to travel back some time
Have a great day. Thanks for commenting
Brilliant. Even left hand cut first the using your right hand the next!
Thanks Tim. Have a great day
best of all i have seen in crown molding, i was able to complete my crown moldi
ng project
Ramesh, I am so happy my video has helped you. How about sending me a few bucks the money you saved by not getting in a pro. All currencies accepted lol. Thanks for commenting have a great day
Ese viejo es un chingon trae el nivel en la mano y sin tanta herramienta
Not sure how to reply to this one? Thanks for commenting all the same. Have a great day
Best video by far. Thanks
Thank you so much oliver higgins
Have a great day, and thanks for commenting
Thanks for this video, this is going to make it a lot easier now! Spot on!
You are welcome, Marc. Have a great day
Thank you. It helped me a lot .. I learned to cut the corners perfectly.. Godd job.
Nice one Rosa, glad my video was useful to you
Have a great day
Thanks for commenting
Regards, Dale
You make it look so easy, sickening! nice vid!
Thank you Ossie
Thanks really helpful video. The cutting flat but tilting saw looks so much easier than mitre boxes where you have to place upside down etc. Confusing. This so much clearer just tilting saw resulting in double compound mitre. Was about to make a larger mitre box to take the 160mm cove but no need to now as going to give your method a go. Thanks again
I wish I had this video when I was trying to figure it all out back in the day. Now I thought, sod it! Lets make this video anyway it's about time. But I really wish I saw this video back in the day it would've made the tricky process fathomable back then
Thank you for commenting, have a great day
Very practical % no bull shit % recommendation to all DIY or Newbies ..
No messing about straight to the point
good job !
Thanks
Awesome video Dale! Happy New Year my friend!!👍 Take care -Paul
Happy New Year to you Paul. Hope you have a good one thanks for checking out the video

I did that. Cheers Joseph
great video.thank you
You are welcome, Jason, thanks for leaving a comment. Have a great day
Diolch yn fawr iawn. Thanks for a very practical "no bullshit" straightforward way to cut and lay cornice. I wish I had seen this video years ago as I could have avoided a lot of trial and error time wasting.
Thank you for your message, Gareth. As it happens I lived in Sydney suburbs for a few years back in 68-71. Love to revisit. Have a great day
*Very good work👍*
I fine if you take a plastic narrow putty knife and then cut at and from the corner cutting angle off the blade so you can get into the corner of your crown molding better or any corn for that matter just for what it's worth I thought I'd share a little info I do custom staircases well I used to hope this is helpful God bless Ken
Thanks for the input, Ken. Have a great day

Thank you for your input Ernesto, and for commenting. Have a great day
For internal mitres, remember the ceiling edge is always shorter then the wall edge.For external it's the opposite.💡
Thanks for commenting
Have a great day
Hiya Dale
Great tutorials!
I have stippled ceilings. The nibs aren’t very big big… just 1 or 2 mm.
Do you think that I could put up the same coving used in your video without having to go to the expense of skimming every ceiling for a flat finish. I appreciate that I won’t have a nice neat 1 inch boarder running with the ceiling edge of the coving. Cheers mate
Hi Badboy. The stipple sounds like it could have been a watery mix, as used on some site-build finishes, hence, a thinnish appearance. I have actually been able to adhere coving/cornice to these type of (almost flat) textured ceilings previously...
Of course, make sure you seal / bond, to take away any porosity and to add extra adhesion, and allow to dry (PVA, not too diluted, around 50/50 with water...
And make sure the texture mix for putting up the cornice/coving is of a rather thick consistence (as per the video...
And then, I always place nails/screws, underneath the cornice/coving, to hold the weight, until the texture is set hard...
You will have to experiment, and this information is just how I would apply, and I do not hold myself responsible for any mishaps you may endear. Also I would not attempt too affix and kind of HEAVY/PLASTER style coving/cornice etc. I hope this helps please do let me know how you get on
Thank you
Thank you , too
yes !
Steady on there sami sami. Would you like me to get you a chair to sit down??? Thanks for commenting have a great day
bravo
Compradi
👍👍👍
Thank you
This dude snapped
Darn snapping dudes. Thanks for commenting
Can that same process be used with 165mm cornice please
Hi Paul
The coving / cornice used in the tutorial is quite lightweight
Any thing heavier (or pure plaster-based) would need to also be screw fixed
Hope this helps
How did you get the plaster off the wall between the wall and ceiling?'that's a real pain to remove neatly
How do you mean. I am not sure if I have covered this in the video? Thanks for commenting have a great day
Hi .so you cut at 45 degrees angle and hold the saw at 45 degrees also.. the mitre box the saw is always 90 degrees .I'm struggling with a job I told my Mrs would be done in a few hours .. 😟
The explanations watching the video should be straight forward where the cuts & angles are concerned. Although it is difficult to verbally describe what I am doing. But I do hope you finished that job for your wife, Julian. Have a great day, thanks for commenting
couple of questions how long did the artex mix stay live and how long before it needs second filling (same day,day later)? very informative though
The material is not a quick drying product unlike specific cornice adhesive used for the heavy plaster of paris type of cornices and mouldings. The material used in this video is not designed for coving as shown here. It is what many others have been using for years though and the covings are still up and present to this day. Thanks for commenting
Thankyou for getting back to me. I notice you don’t use a mitre box! I am going to be installing 165mm cornice not coving but it is flat at the back. What type of mitrebox would you recommend for that or would you do freestyle.
Your video is really informative.
Hi Paul
My story about the mitre box
In the decorating supply shop, there used to be a plastic or metal mitre (which was shaped like a triangle) which one would place onto the kind of cornice/coving you see me use in the video.
Only problem was, I actually stepped on them and they distorted
When I did place the mitre onto the cornine/coving, as described in the instructions, I noticed the angle of how the saw was to be used for cutting interior and exterior mitres
So far, so good
But what I also noticed was, that even though I used a mitre, the problem with many builds (both old and new) was that the corners were nit always true, therefore, the mitre was useless in these instances
This is why I use freehand for cutting cornice / coving
I hope I have explained this adequately, please let me know
Thank you again for commenting
Have a great day
@@Artexing mate thankyou so much for spending your time explaining this. You have given me time which is as we know a precious commodity…
I will try both your way and by using a mitre box and see what works best on this 165mm cornice. I think I have been overthinking it as I want the very best outcome.
I loved the video and will continue to follow you. Nice one Dale. Paul
رائع
Thank you Karim. Have a great day
Would THis work for cornicing at the peak of a cathedral ceiling
Hi Jim
Not sure, I'd have to come look at the job first
Do you mean the shape of the angles?
Hope this helps
Thanks for commenting
@@Artexing yeah, here your wall to ceiling angle is roughly 90 degrees, where’s on the very peak of a raked ceiling where the ceiling and wall junction meet is greater than or closer than 90,
You did a good but this won't work for a finishing job.
Hi
I have always used this as finished job
Thanks for commenting
Sounds like a Kardiff boy.
Thanks for commenting, have a great day
This freehand cutting method is bullshit - use a mitre box that's made for the job and cut out most if not all of the messing about trimming the back.
You may have a point there Nicolas Fox, but it works fine for me. The problems I found with mitre box method is the ceiling wall area must be spot on and plumb inline with the foundations of the building, and the ceiling wall room area to be cove/cornice, must be true and flush and square, of which is not always the case unfortunately even in some new builds I have experienced. Therefore the precision of the mitre box cut, does not fit exactly if this makes sense? This video shows an alternative to the problem. Thanks for commenting
