INSTALLING SKIRTING BOARDS

4/12/08

This morning we learnt how to install skirting boards. We went through the theory book (Fixing out) yesterday. We used custom wood mouldings for skirting boards and fixed them to a block whick represented a house in theory, and what you might encounter on the job. (eg, door Architraves, internal corners, external corners and stop returns.) We learnt the different ways of joining internal corners, and how to scribe for internal corners. we also learnt how to join and cut into door architraves. This was a very practical session in the workshop, and was a great opportunity to improve on our hand skills. After we finished the skirting boards we run some Quarter round (quad) around the bottom to finish it off.
Things Learnt
- differnt cuts for joining into vertical architraves such as door frames.
- scribing.
- hand skills.
