Coping

Coping may refer to:

  • Coping (architecture) consists of the capping or covering of a wall
  • Coping (psychology) is the process of managing stressful circumstances
  • Coping (joinery), a woodworking technique
  • A coping is the part of a Crown (dentistry) that contacts the prepared tooth
  • Coping (joinery)

    Coping or scribing is the woodworking technique of shaping the end of a moulding or frame component to neatly fit the contours of an abutting member. Joining tubular members in metalworking is also referred to as a cope, or sometimes a "fish mouth joint" or saddle joint.

    Most English speaking countries outside the United States use the terms scribe and scribing.

    Coping is commonly used in the fitting of skirting and other mouldings in a room. It allows for clean joints between intersecting members when walls are not square to each other. The other method of fitting these mouldings that is commonly used is the mitre joint but this technique relies upon knowing the precise angle between the walls for neat results. Coping is only ever used for internal corners. External corners are always mitred.

    The main reason that scribed joints are used is that timber shrinks in width far more than it does in length. By using a scribed joint rather than an internal mitre joint the effect of shrinkage is minimised. Also it is possible to arrange the scribed joints pointing away from the most common viewpoint (usually the doorway of a room) and so present the best appearance.

    Coping (architecture)

    Coping (from cope, Latin capa), consists of the capping or covering of a wall.

    A splayed or wedge coping slopes in a single direction; a saddle coping slopes to either side of a central high point.

    A coping may consist of stone (capstone), brick, tile, slate, metal, wood or thatch. In all cases it should be weathered to throw off the water.

    Various types of copings exist. A diagramatic explanation of copper copings is available.

    In Romanesque work copings appeared plain and flat, and projected over the wall with a throating to form a drip. In later work a steep slope was given to the weathering (mainly on the outer side), and began at the top with an astragal; in the Decorated style there were two or three sets off; and in the later Perpendicular Period these assumed a wavy section, and the coping mouldings continued round the sides, as well as at top and bottom, mitreing at the angles, as in many of the colleges at Oxford.

    Coping

    by: Capital Lights

    Saturday night, the best decision of my life.
    He said, "you should try it and I think that you would like it."
    You give your best and you never get it back;
    But you keep on trying and eventually your satisfied.
    No trust, eighteen years old, filled up with lust.
    Never caring for anything more. But there's got to be more.
    I'm begging for more, I'm begging you for more.
    Life's a long road from where we are to where we think we should go.
    But I know that if we don't give it up then we'll never walk alone.
    This is the best thing that we have.
    I've got this feeling and I'll never let it pass.
    Years have gone by, and now that everything is different;
    We've found the formula. And now that I feel confident,
    We can take it one step further than the last one.
    Bringing ourselves to where we never thought that we could go.
    We've dreamed, we've wanted this for years;
    So lift up your heads, and forget all of your fears.
    Now is the time! The chance is on your doorstep.
