If say the coving has a wall depth of 100mm and a ceiling projection of say 150mm
1. mark down the wall 100 mm all around the room.
2. Go around the room measuring each length.
3. If the cut has two internal mitres cut pieces to length with straight cuts. if there are external mitres add 100mm (to be safe i would add 150mm) for each external mitre you have
4. Now go back to the first piece you marked and cut Hold the length of cornice in position and draw a line along the ceiling, do this for every length.
now go back to the first piece and hold it back up, there should be a point where two lines cross. that is where you cut the mitre back to.
DO NOT fit the first piece until the NEXT piece is help up and marked! Otherwise you wont be able to offer up the next piece and mark it.
simples.
Im fitting some cornice tuesday, so will do this method and take a few pictures to help a few out.
so once the coving is marked, how do you cut it? I've only ever done right angles with a mitre block!
like that lol

If the projection is 150 mike then that's what you would add on for your externals ,I would add another 30/40 mm on top of that to be honest,think you got your depth and projection the wrong way round,:RpS_blink:If say the coving has a wall depth of 100mm and a ceiling projection of say 150mm

How do you guys do the non right angle joins?
Oh sorry....
yer tiling is top notch too marra .. .
I thought there was tile beads!!
Feck. me your good:RpS_thumbup:
did you get her up to the bank before it closed?
The old biddies love a tour in a tranny ..:RpS_wink:
You hold it away from the angle of the cut like you would a 90 degree
You can hold it in a mitre block with ceiling edge on base & wall edge on side nearest you, then over hang it out the box & cut free hand on your pencil marks.
Otherwise you'll get the vaginal opening cut as Beddy demonstrates above above
I just hold it as I said but on a flat surface like hop up or plank & hang it over & cut it.
As much as I love a vaginal opening, I'll try to avoid this one! Thanks guys.
