You would usually find the angle with a miter gauge or a sliding t bevel. Assuming you don't have either, take 2 business cards and place them on the ceiling, one on each side. Slide them together until they overlap and the tip on each card meets. Tape them to the ceiling. Then mark the short point (where they overlap by the cabinets) and draw a line from that short point to the tip where both cards meet at a point.
That line is bisects the angle. Cut it with a scissors. That is the angle you will put on each piece. One is a right miter, one is a left miter.
It should be close to 22.5 degrees if the cabinet is sitting at a perfect 45 degree angle.
Didn't know where else to put this so mods move it to a better place if need be.
What is the best way to do a 180 for a wood stair rail?
I have seen goose necks and rail ends angle cut for posts. Are there any other methods or one preferrable to another?
thanks
Hi all! I am doing some work in the in-laws basement and wanted to get a consensus on the best way to handle this. There is 3 3/4" between the top of the window jamb extension and the halfway. I am putting up 3 1/4" casing, but the half wall will be capped with 3/4" thick wood. Am I best off ripping down the bottom casing to less than than the 3 1/4" to be able to get it to fit over the cap, or should I downsize to 2 1/4" around the window even though all the other casing is 3 1/4"?
Thanks!
