Hi . This video is about how to cut plaster coving with Cove Mitre box using fine saw . The cove I'm using is 127 Gypro cove ( 83mm x 83mm ) For more videos Please subscribe to my channel.
Sir, you are to be congratulated one THE best video to showing rank amateurs like me how to cut the corners on coving. No piffle paffle, simplicity as required - perfect! It helped me complete the first coving job I have attempted - any mess / iffy cutting is solely my responsibility. THANK YOU!!!
We spent a good hour trying to sort out coving and were still confused. This video was soooooo helpful. Had the whole room done in no time. Thank you so much. This is so simple and easy to follow. Will also help us with the picture rail.
Thankyou. I have looked at other videos, but yours is the most clear, straight forward, understandable one. I have cut my internals and externals perfectly!
Great video, thanks for untangling this mystery. I followed the steps and took a couple of pictures then wrote step by step instructions to make the process repeatable. I then read them to my wife - she went cross eyed.
Brilliant video, thank you very much. NOTE: Make sure you buy the right mitre box for your coving e.g. if your coving is 127mm but the width of your mitre box is 120mm..... your coving will not fit together, even just a 2mm difference and it still won't fit. It took me a long time to figure out that I was cutting correctly but I was using the wrong nitre box.
YOU sir, are an ABSOLUTE lifesaver. I literally watched tons of videos today, and non of them gave me any result. It was a lot of mathematical equations etc, that just had me worse off than the previous video. Even with using the mitre tool, they didn’t show how to use it, the way you do. Thanks a gazillion
The first 20 seconds are the most useful, demonstrating how the cutty thing goes into the black box with slits. Had a nightmare figuring that out before watching this video.
Many thanks for the advice, tried several other sites but ended up more confused than enlightened, your description was spot on and perfect for the tricky task of cutting the coving mitres.
This is the best and easiest to follow, I spent ages cutting off cuts and only had to watch this a couple times and I marked my cutting box with diagrams to make sure I would remember for next time, thanks a heap :)
Was sending me over trying to work the angels with a mitre saw, I’ve got one of these mitre box’s in the garage and I’m kicking myself now, thanks for the video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks. Ive done it a good few times over the years, but always takes a few wrong cuts to figure it out again,lol. Even though you never spoke, it was still a good refresher.
Excellent video cuts through the waffle and demonstrates plain and simple what to do and how to do it. Just used it today when doing a job a treasure for sure . Thanks
This video was so helpful, thank you so much. It took me 3 days trying to figure this out. Ones I found this video. I did it in one hour. Thank you again.
When I last tried to put coving up it was before the internet and I wasted a lot of coving because I could not work out how to cut the angles, I watched a few videos and this video made it look so easy........and it was, angles cut right 1st time 👍🙂
No need to cut upside down as that seems to cause confusion. Instead, you can cut the way the coving is supposed to sit by inserting the left side from the left of the box then cut towards the left (ie right to left); then insert the right side from the right of the box then cut towards the right (ie left to right).
Video could’ve been made even better if he’d marked the coving with a ‘ceiling’ marker so you easily see which way up it goes. Really surprised there’s no videos out there with this on as it would make it 100x clearer and quicker to grasp.
Worth a subscription based on this video along. I coved a whole house once based on the sticker on the front of the mitre block and guess what? The sticker's fallen off. Thank you.
So confusing. The Cut for B nd C was exactly the same. The A and D was exactly the same. Are you saying thats it? Then when C and D are turned upside down they becomes external? I just dont get it. At all
I would like to do coving but I have plastic trunking running along the top of the wall 4cm and 2cm wide with wiring inside.Can I just have the bare wiring behind the coving ?? what other options are there please??
Most general tool, building & electrical suppliers will sell you ducting tubes - or if you don't want to disconect the wires for extra price boxes which 'snap together' around the wires. But as you say its already in trunking its not obvious why there would be a problem (If its too hot already you already have a mega problem to solve. If its not, why would you worry)?
