Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
I'll be installing crown molding on 3 walls of our dining room. I've done a lot of reading and watched several videos on the web, but want some personal opinions on the best cut to use for inside corners. Will I get the best finished product by using a straight miter cut, a compound miter/bevel cut or by coping? I've practiced the coping cut and did not do very good, but I suppose that like anything...it takes time to learn. If that's the best option, I'll keep practicing.
Second situation: I'm using trim molding to finish the edges of a bar top. It's used to finish the edge off and also contain the glass that will be on the top. My question is this...to cut the angles, 22.5 degree angles in this case, do I have to use the "upside down and backwards" approach like I see talked about for crown molding or do I just place the trim on my CMS like it would be on the edge of the bar?
Input greatly appreciated.
