Help please!
We ae just about to replace the skirting boards in our small 3 bed semi – 10 years old. Current skirting boards tiny and been abused so they are all off and down the tip that’s the easy part done. Now onto the difficult bit I’m not sure what tools we will need to do this. I’ve browsed this forum and now know all about mitres & scribing but there seems to be a variety of views on tools:
So can anyone out there give me a very simple list of tools needed – we are starting from scratch and have very little experience and ideally would like to keep costs low as poss but we do want power tools as time is short – 3 weekends only before new carpets and 5 rooms plus hall to do.
Do we need? Mitre Saw or Circular Saw? Will either do both jobs?
Work bench? Do we need any attachments?
Mitre Box? Is this required with the mitre/ circular saw?
Anything else?
If we buy cheapish tools say from Screwfix? will they do the job OK?
I’d really appreciate your thoughts/ experience/ advice.
