Fitting a Cornice: Part 2
Posted 8 August 2016
This is an episode in a free series. Want to watch it? It is free to do so, you just need to log into the site, and you can enjoy this video and many other videos we think you will love.
We’re ready to fit the last section of moulding, which has to be done with care. Once the mitre is cut, the nick in the back corner can be removed so the final fit can take place. This requires careful adjustment of the edges meeting the cabinet, the support and the other mitred piece. Then it can be glued and screwed in place. That finishes off the cornice and just leaves the optional beading.
Thanks Mark for getting the page up

Fitting the last piece of cornice appeared rather awkward. Would it have been possible to remove the detachable assembly from the cabinet in order to ‘fit’ the last mitre, then offer back up to the cabinet to prepare the rear notch out for the back panel?
Nevertheless, another example of the perfectionist at work.
What is the next project for our viewing?
Thank You WWMC team!
Amazing level of detail. Thank you for sharing!
Disregard. I can not view the video. It wasn’t presented like the others. I’got it now.
Absolutely beautiful work!
Love it thanks Paul and crew for another detail, that is one beautiful cabinet.

Very nice feature. I do wonder how you made the bullnose on the bead with such thin stock. Would love to hear a word about that.
Last year when making a desk I had to buy prefabrecated thin wood with such a bead cause I had no idea how on earth I would clamp this long thin stock to round over one edge. Unfortunately I still have no clue.
I don’t know how he did it but I have seen Paul use small dots of super glue to hold thin stock onto a larger flat piece which he had in the vise. When finished he just shocked along the glue line to ping it off.
Possibly make the bead on a piece of stock first, then rip saw that piece off of the main piece of stock and plane to fit?
Pleasure to be able to watch Paul in real time a true craftsman working with hand tools and sharing his life long experience so enthusiastically. Well done team with this video series
Wonderful, patient, attention to every detail. Thank you for this video.
Thank you Paul. Your wood working craftsmanship is an absolute pleasure to watch.
I like your introduction of the use of super glue in this class. I have used it a number of times on gunstock repairs and it has done a good job for me.
Your calm presentation and excellent workmanship makes me want to do better.
Thank you very much and God bless you.

Very nice collection, thanks!
Hi, Paul, plenty of patience, and sharp tools is the name of the game, I really enjoyed the video, many thanks. Larry.
Is there a video where it’s explained out to make the bead moulding? Doesn’t seem to be here or in the door making episode either. Thanks
I absolutely love this man. Before I discovered his channel on YouTube, I used to mock the thought of woodworking with hand tools in the traditional way. For years, I cried about not having the finances, and/or, space to fit all the machines that I believed I needed, to get into woodworking, and to say that it made me depressed, is an under statement. you have given me a renewed interest, in what I truly believed, was out of my reach, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Thank you so so much…
I wonder if there might be a way to set the cornice in a shooting board to plane the mitre? I can see someone with not so good an eye or skilled hand going through multiple pieces!
