Hi Leah, I am a retired General Contractor in residential construction. I built custom homes for 35 years. I just want to compliment you on your videos, you do a great job of instruction on all your topics, and I commend you on your ability and professionalism. I see so many videos that are not as detailed and exacting as yours are. Keep up the great job.
+Jack Holt Thank you Jack, I really appreciate your comments!
If you think this video is great I'm glad you never build anything for me :):)
Jack Holt yea jack, stay away from my neighborhood.
this was an amazing video!
0:39 0:39 😅😅
I like how Leah not only can teach - but she uses time economically. So many youtuber's must believe I want to spend 30 minutes watching something that could be done better and in only six minutes - like how Leah does.
T
Well stated!!
I bought a house in 2014. I can not tell you how many of Leah's videos I've watched. I absolutely love them! Great job, every single time.
Were you ever a classroom teacher? I love you're ability to explain everything without assuming that it's just common knowledge.
One of the best teachers I've come across. Very clear and easy to follow instruction.
Finally someone who explains clearly and shows with simplicity something that would take lots of confusing explanations for somebody else . THANKS .
+Alex Castillo you're welcome, Alex, and thanks!

Alex, please don't listen to the advice in this video. The math presented here is just plain wrong. The correct formula for all angles (right, obtuse or acute) is (180 - x) / 2, where x is the measured angle.
@@JP-xj6lr thanx brother very helpful information
@@JP-xj6lr that the same thing she said, just used a different approach to it. She came up with the same angle.
Think you are terrific and ought to have tv show. you are a rarity in todays world. Real. Kind. Straight. Smart and warm. We need more of you
I agree. I have watched dozens of videos on this topic. This if the first one where using a protector is suggested.
@@michaelknight2897 Lolll😂😂😂 you realize she got the math all wrong right? 😂😂😂
@@jonm2416 I can fill in the gaps.
@@michaelknight2897 you'll literally have to 😂
I'd watch
Awesome! Not only will I be using this in my current home improvement, but will be sharing with my geometry students so they understand why we need to understand supplemental angles, etc...
I’m going to replace 2 baseboards, and I’m so glad I came across Leah. Her videos are very informative, and she’s a smart and experienced teacher. Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials.
Leah, I've just watched aboujt 4 of your vids and want to tell you that your vids are excellent: very clear, concise, and easy to understand. But what I like most is that you yourself are great at instilling confidence and calmness. Rock on, Leah - we all need to see more of your great work!
Love this lady!!! She is amazing on explaining things. She’s so smart!!
You are an incredibly effective teacher and I am very grateful that you share your knowledge in such an accessible fashion. Much appreciation for your efforts, thank you.
Lol she's wrong, be careful what I wish for
HI,i've been going to youtube for years to get info on different wood projects ,tips ect...
and you are the first to to show this method that I know in a clear and comprehensive easy way and not in a long drawn out preachy ect .....cudos to you! keep up the very good work.
I just watched about a dozen videos for baseboard install tips, some from guys I respect and follow. This was the best explanation of figuring angles I've seen. Got out my protractor and slapped it on a corner joint. I understand....Thanx.
I watch this video any time I'm going to cut angles. You are a fantastic teacher - clear speech, concise explanations, good video examples, and a positive attitude! You make subject easy to understand. Thank you!
I Used to be a Contractor, but you can still teach me tricks, Love the Videos keep them coming,
I like the way she instructs. Very clear and logical.
+J Scott thanks!
I agree very clear and simple. Inside and outside corners favorited for future use.
yup, a very good teacher.
2018 mr olympia
Very clear and logical, but her math is very wrong. The correct formula for all angles (right, obtuse or acute) is (180 - x) / 2, where x is the measured angle. I like her persona, but she needs another math class.
WOW.... I really learned how to cut moulding with your video.... your a great teacher.
Do you realize she is actually wrong though? 😂😂😂
@@jonm2416 no. How so?
@@annanajduch5201 It's nothing against her, she's usually great. She just made an error that may cause some people a headache. It doesn't work the way she said for angles under 90 degrees. If you take an angle under 90° let's say 88° and then divide by 2 and get 44° and proceed to set your saw at 44° you will get a miter joint that's open by 4° meaning you can practically stick your pinky finger in the gap. The correct saw setting would be 46°. The easiest way: measure the corner as X and use this formula to set your saw. (180-X) ÷ 2. Happy building!☺
This woman really explains things amazingly well. Even if you already know most of what she's discussing, she makes it interesting enough to keep watching and listening.
It's actually a rare gift to have the ability to teach this well, while keeping it interesting.
Hi Leah, I have been working as a handyman helper for over a year now and learning a lot about home improvement. I wish I work with you, you explain this so easy. No more over doing it with painters caulking ever again. Thanks for your tips, you rock!
Glad it was helpful! 🙂
👅 amazing! I just learned the best math problem ever. I hate math! Very good info!
" I hate math! " or the "I'm not good at Math" are self-fulfilling prophecies.
For all but a teeny, tiny, minuscule percentage of human beings, Math is not difficult at all - when they need a formula and actually try it.
However, if you keep telling yourself you can't do something or 'hate' something - you will not try and (as we have all been told so many times before) If you do not try, you cannot succeed.
Do not blame yourself, it is the fault of your teacher or the result of a bad day in Math class - maybe you missed breakfast or your folks sent you to school with a Pop Tart.
Leah!!!! You are the Best! I love how you take your time to explain in detail the steps requires to perform these tasks successfully, and more importantly, encourage and empower us novices to attempt projects! Thank you so very much! You are awesome! You are always personable as well!
outstanding tip! previously I just eyeballed the measurements and make a million cuts until it looked right.
You have the best solutions for common do it yourself tasks.
thanks, Paul!
You’re the best Leah…No fancy music or Camera nonsense just straight up knowledge and wisdom. You have been helping me DIY everything for years. Cheers to you!
My friend was with his mouth open of surprise after i showed him, on job site, what i learned on this video! THank you Leah for this great tips!
Thank you so much Leah, you make everything so easy. That’s a whole lot better than just makin’ it look easy.
You rock !
Me in 10th grade Geometry class "When the he!! am I ever going to use this", Me 20 years later watching youtube getting schooled on acute, obtuse and supplementary angles because the wife wanted to re-do all the trim on our first floor and my first cut(s) were brutal.
Love this lady she explains everything perfectly. 🤗
Perfectly? Her math is wrong. smh...
@@jonm2416 in what way? Explain please.
@@tjfSIM I've explained it too many times already..look in other comments with replys for details and just use this formula if you are really doing trim work (180-x)/2 when x= the measured angle. Her method only works half the time.
Thank you, I am so pleased to have found you. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your clear instructions and your encouragement. I feel so much more confident.
I just subscribed , your good . I just retired as a HUD maintenance person after 20 years in the trades, and now just play around at home . your hints , methods , demonstrations and explanation of things are straightforward and very helpful . Thanks ...
you're welcome, and thank you so much for commenting!
I really love watching your instructional videos. Your instructions are clear, and very helpful! Thank you!
Lolll😂😂😂 you realize she got the math all wrong right? 😂😂😂
@@jonm2416 then explain it yourself
Oh my goodness! You did a great job of teaching on this! Thank you!
Jeremiah?!
Thanks Jane for your simple explanations! Since I plan on doing more woodworking (including some baseboards) with my recently acquired mitre saw I was at the hardware store to get a few things. I saw a protractor like yours for a very reasonable price and took it with me, even I was not totally sure what else I can do with it besides measuring an angle, but had a feeling it would be a good thing to get it. LOL. I am sooooo glad I watched this video about the baseboards.
I just wanted to say how well you explain things in a way that even the most inexperienced person can do. Most of these You Tube videos are shown in a way that doesn't take into account the fact that most home handyman have very limited knowledge of what they are trying to explain.,they assume most viewers are more experienced so they don't give enough details.I have learned more from See Jane Drill than any other You Tube expert.You're the first one I go to when I'm thinking about doing a project.
Just wanted to say thank you. Bought a HUD home at the end of 2016. Been fixing it up. Seems like everytime I come to RUclips for help I end up on seejanedrill! The help is much appreciated.
very good clear instructions I wish I had you as my woodwork teacher back at school !
Omg! I’m so excited after watching this. Now I will consider replacing my base boards that are so dinged up!
Your videos are so inspiring, motivational and easy to understand! Have you ever laid wood laminate flooring? I'm going to TRY to install it in my hallway and foyer myself as well as replace all the baseboard trim. This video makes it sound do-abe, even for me..lol.
Leah, I already know how to do this but I just stumbled across your video and checked out a few of your other videos and I have to tell you that you have a talent for teaching this kind of thing. I see so many videos with well meaning people trying to teach something but they are clueless. They mumble. They don't explain things simply and clearly and they assume too much.
You keep it short using simple language, you speak clearly and you don't assume that the viewer knows what you know and you don't add anything more than what's needed. It's like reading simple instructions with large printing and clear close up pictures showing every step from start to finish. Anyone wanting to know how to do what you're teaching can't go wrong.
You're really helping people out and providing a valuable service because when you can do this stuff yourself you save loads of money by not having to pay someone to do it for you.
Great video!
Thank you so much! That is what we are hoping to do with our videos, and it's nice to hear that you like our work!! Happy Holidays, Leah
I am in tears practically because this is the first video that I can understand to help me finish my baseboard trim. Thank you for making content that breaks things down in an instructional way.
first time I ever commented on a youtube video and I have to say you are a fantastic instructor. I have subscribed and will continue to check your channel you more valuable information.
I believe for acute angles (
Yes I’m surprised that she made a mistake like that! The best way is 180 - the angle of the corner divided by 2. An 80 degree corner should be cut at 50 degrees and not 40 degrees.
@@theone3337 Your simple math statement just cleared up my frustration with setting an 87° corner to 43.5 and it was really off. It had to be 46.5. Thanks for saving my sanity.
180* (straight line) minus the obtuse angle gives the supplementary angle. E.g. 180* - 100* gives the supplementary angle of 80*
180/2=90 90-90=0 straight line
carlos lovera he is talking about
Above 90• your confused 180-100=80/2=40...
180-130=50/2=25
@@lovera3878 90 is not obtuse
Thank you for this video. I am a total beginner at woodworking/carpentry, but I just became a homeowner and have some things to learn to do, and many videos assume a base of knowledge that you don’t. Very helpful.
I'm a professional home improvement specialist and your tips are quite valuable and spot on. I'm always on the lookout to learn something new from other pros; I'll be watching you.
Thanks!
you're welcome, and thank you!
You know, I really enjoy your videos.
I love you. You make things so easy and explain so perfectly
Perfectly wrong.
Jon m then why do I get them perfect every time 🙃🙃🙃
Hi Lincoln, The brand name of the protractor is Empire. I got mine at Lowe's, but you can also get it online.

I just watched both inside and outside corner videos as well. My friend is a contractor and told me about getting a telescoping mitre saw, and with your coping technique on the other video I'm convinced that method will get me better corners. Love these videos.... hate home reno! :)
I have tears in my eyes because finally someone is explaining all this in a manner that I can understand! :-) thank you so much for all of your videos
If you cannot do maths or have no protractor you can get the angle by laying your skirting (base board) flat on the floor against the wall and penciling a line on the floor on both sides of the corner then at the point where the lines cross to the wall corner will be the angle you need to cut, set your bevel to this angle.
hunh? Can you explain better?
Lay the board against the wall flat on the floor, draw a pencil line along the edge of the board, move the board against the other side of the corner and draw a line against the board again where the lines cross draw a line to the corner of the wall and that will be the angle you need to make the perfect cut.
No
@@gw0mof u can find any angle without an angle finder, u need to pieces of wood, extended from the wall, overlap them and measure from upper point to lower , draw a line and you get a perfect angle.
Leah you are a genius! I wish you could've taught my woodshop class, math class, hell....can you be my mom?
A genius? She got that wrong...the whole first part is completely wrong she's actually an idiot
@@jonm2416 glad I saw this comment can you explain the first part correctly mate it don't make sense I understand cutting 40 degree fir a 100 degree mitre to leave 50 (2x50=100 degrees ) but the anything under 90 and halving don't add up to me
@@kevinhancock4064 sure, the formula is actually (180-X)/2 with X as the the overall angle like say 88°. If the main angle is 88° it seems like you'd just divide by 2, cut a couple 44° miters and be done but the "44" is actually what gets removed from 90° leaving you with 46° which is what you really want. Basically a miter angle is not the same as a regular angle. If you use the formula and physically perform the action on your miter saw it will work and become clear. I actually had to picture myself cutting the joint on my miter saw to realize she had made a mistake. It is confusing, I'd give her that. I just expected to see her admit her error but she seems to deny it even when confronted. Lol..good luck
@@jonm2416 I went by my formula ans it worked fab fir me as it gives the angle of which the blade should be at and not what angle us left from the cut I guess both work depending how you look at it my external skirting mitres fir example on the side wirked out at 86 degree cormer so I done 90 - (88÷2) equalling 46 degree ut at saw i put a 45 dehree timber piece at mitre saw and added 1 degree to make the 46 cut it worked a treat
@@kevinhancock4064 I tried to figure out your method but got confused about the angle being 86° and how you put 88° into your formula instead. But no matter. As long as you found something that works for you, that is the most important thing. If your miters are tight and you get the satisfaction that comes with it, then the project came out nice and you enjoyed it. And that's most important. Good luck mate.
Leia you are awesome! I love your videos, they've really helped me with my current renovation.
+The One And Only Julez thanks!
I salute you .... you are a very smart and intelligent person and you explain so well a child could understand it ...im on my way to get that protractor tomorrow as a professional contractor I've been able to guess and make these cuts with a lot of practice but I now have a new group of younger employees working for me and its been a triumph to teach them this skill which came with about 25 years of wood working experience...wish I had someone like you to teach me it probably would have saved several trees!!! Thanks for such an awesome tutorial, and I'm subscribing!
Hi Leah. You're videos have been so helpful. I was wondering for you have any videos exposing where to position miter saw to get correct length? I've been having trouble cutting them too short or too long.
Another way do this....
A straight line is 180 degrees.
Subtract your corner angle from 180 and divide by two.
Miter Angle = (180 - x) / 2
Yes correct, which is why her saying to divide by 2 angles that are smaller than 90 degrees is false.
L Puma I don’t understand, because she had good results on 1 out of 2 subjects she talked about, it’s ok to give false information? That’s funny.
You're awesome...Thanks Leah!
TheAstraeuss You're very welcome, and thanks!
Leah, just viewed inside and outside corners. I bookmarked them both. Thanks for the information. I will soon own one of those protractors. Also, not that it matters, but I have watched several of you videos and never noticed that you were left handed! Great!
The most creative people are left-handed.
south paw would whoop your butt too!! lol
Carl Brown: Hey I'm not left handed and I'm pretty crea... wait, shit.. you're right.
Clark Eugene ko
And also has excellent taste in pens.
THANK YOU. You explain it to people who know ""nothing"". From nothing we layer on the lesson. From the lesson we layer on the technique. From the technique we go to the machine and produce the item we are looking to create. The result is knowledge. At one point we all knew nothing about this. By you sharing, we now know. THANK YOU.
Thank You... Thank You... Thank You! Finally someone has explained to me how to do this the right way. You have made my next project so much less stressful! I did a aweful job trying to do chair railing on a odd wall that was put up in my house. I can't wait to fix it instead of trying to hide my mess. Even wood putty wouldn't make that cut look ok. Now I am going to go search your videos and hope to find how to replace a subfloor. My husband passed away 3 years ago, I am trying to do the DIY thing. Thank You again for very clear instructions!
Hi Shawn, I'm sorry for your loss! And welcome to our channel. We haven't done a subfloor video yet, but I'm glad the baseboard video was helpful. Did you see the one we did on inside baseboard corners? Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/PQsPwY-eoFI/видео.html Hope you find this helpful, and best of luck with your projects!
Perfect advice, ordered a Protractor off Amazon . Thank you
🙂
when the outside corner is less than 90, still subtract from 180. For example, if the outside corner is 88, subtract 88 from 180 gives 92. Divide 92 by 2 gives 46. Set the chopsaw to 46. Most chopsaws will cut to 52 degrees, some to 60 degrees. Jane, please check my figures, and if I am correct, then amend the video. Thanks
If the outside corner is 90 degrees or less, you just bisect the angle. 88/2 = 44
Sorry Leah, but an 88 degree corner requires 46 degree cuts, not 44. Your math is not correct. Using the math you present here, an 80 degree corner and a 100 degree corner would both require a miter setting of 40 degrees, which is not possible. The correct formula for all angles (right, obtuse or acute) is (180 - x) / 2, where x is the measured angle.
You're right, she's wrong.
Why is this video still up??? The ONLY exception to not needing this formula is a perfect 90° angle. All, I repeat ALL other angles (acute or obtuse) need this formula applied to get the correct results. PLEASE REMOVE THIS VIDEO. You are misguiding so many people here (judging by all the positive comments).
@@markarita3 Beats me. Maybe she's passed?
Your videos are great keep up the good work.
I just did this for some chair rail I was installing and it worked perfectly! I live in an older home so all the walls are not exactly 90-degrees and I have some walls that have obtuse angles on it. My one wall was 134 degrees, I divided it by two and then subtracted that from 90! Perfect fit!! You rock.
I love Leah! She is so intelligent and is so generous to share these tips that anyone can do.
I love what you do! Thanks for the advice!
Will this formula also work for inside corners?
She has another video for inside corners.
Where exactly are the perfect corners at? I used to do finish carpentry and well, I never did find any perfect corners LOL.
William Todd i
You are such an amazing teacher! The best explaining I’ve ever seen. Usually people take too long to get to the point or too fast. But you are just right! Thank you
JP she has a later video called The secret to making perfect miter cuts when the angle is less than 90. I was also confused by this but in that video she makes it clear and shows the correct way. Example she gave. 85 degrees divide by 2= 42.5, 90-42.5=47.5, make your cuts 47.5 degrees. It made alot more sense to me. A fantastic video everyone should watch. But this video made it so much easier for me when the angle is above 90. I love her videos.
She should be a college professor.
Dear Leah, can you please correct the math presented on this video? The only calculation needed to determine the correct saw angle for a miter cut is (180 - x) / 2 where x is the measured angle. The math "trick" presented in this video is just plain wrong.
J P But doesn't that mean that an 80 degree angle would give you a mitre saw setting of 50? Is there such a setting? I'm confused. I also couldn't understand how if I were to use Leah's method, both an 80 degree and a 100 degree corner would leave me with a 40 degree mitre cut. How does that work?
Yes, a wall angle that measures 80 degrees will require two miter cuts of 50 degrees each. Most saws cut from 0-45 degrees, so a 50 degree cut is not possible on most saws without some tweaking. For example, if your saw can only cut up to 45 degrees, you can make a 50 degree cut by placing a 45 degree triangle against the miter saw fence and then setting the saw angle to 5 degrees.
To avoid confusion, you must ignore the math Leah presents in this video, especially from 1:38 to 2:08 which is completely wrong! (She sure sounds convincing though, doesn't she?)
When making miter cuts to wrap a baseboard around an outside wall corner, there are three angles to consider, and they must always add up to 180 degrees. The three angles are the angle of the wall, and the angles of the two miter cuts. Using the example above, 80+50+50 equals 180. Therefore, you know a saw angle of 50 degrees will wrap the corner perfectly.
J P Brilliant. thanks buddy.
if shes wrong how do explain her perfect cuts?
speedwayman100 unfortunately they weren’t tight against the walls. The GAp between the base and the drywall shows this
A good example of popular people spreading false information! Such crap is inexcusable. Someone earlier posted the CORRECT math for this. 180-(angle measured)/2
2+3 = 5 3+2 = 5 Said different, same result.
your saw doesn't go to 50 degrees...correct ?.so if you cut at 40... what's on the other side..... 50.
you're not understanding.... you're cutting an outside corner at fifty degrees by cutting the waste side at 40.
Hi Didereaux, you're so right. I think it might have been me that called her on the bad math. She has been quite successful in this video at misleading lots of folks.
Her math is more like 2 + 3 = 5, and 3 + 2 = 7. Her math is wrong. Using her math, an 80 degree corner and a 100 degree corner would both require miter cuts of 40 degrees. That's obviously not possible. As Dideraux says, the correct formula for all angles (right, obtuse or acute) is (180 - x) / 2, where x is the measured angle.
J P she never said to use this method for angles less than 90°, only obtuse angles
love you, today i learned a true outside miter cut, some good old fashion math, protractor and even learned how to write left hand . Excellent !!
This may be the best video ever made! I'm halfway done putting the baseboards on the walls and not one corner is at 90 degrees. Your videos are the best!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
glad to help
Where have you been all my life? I have wasted so much time and money on sloppy baseboard cuts in my life, but no more! Thank you!
I was trying to cut, got frustrated, and came to look to see if you had a video on this, Leah! And you did - so now I can do this!!! I am remodeling based on your videos over the last couple years. And I thought I couldn’t even screw in a lightbulb! Thank you, Leah. I wish you could see all I have done with your teaching videos and encouragement!!! Love you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is all well and good, and also 100% correct, when you have straight lines/walls to work with. That rarely happens in my world. Come 2binches in on one wall, there typically is a kink in it, and then yor protractor will be off from what you are actually after, still leaving a gap, even though your measured angle is correct. You need more surface area to work with. Old school methods suggest you take a 16" scrap or so, put it up against the wall, and extend the outside past the apparent intersection of the other piece, and on finished floors, you'd of course be marking on some tape or a piece of cardboard, then move it to the other wall and repeat. Now you have located the exact point for the outside corner, and here you can use your gauge, as the boards have evened out all of the lumps, bumps and kinks. Festool sells a tool that comes with the Kapex, that does all of this for you, including splitting the angle, so all you have to do is set the saw. The important thing about it though, is that it has a much larger bearing surface, than the gauge shown in the video. Other than that: great work 👍
Hi Leah
I’m so happy that I ran into this presentation 😊. Miss you. Thanks for being there for us rookies 🙏
I really wish I had found your channel a month ago!!! 🤦🏻♀️ I just installed base boards at a friends house and was frustrated with the cuts! This formulas would have made the project much more precise! Thank you for putting these videos out, they are quite helpful!!!
You’re a national treasure! So clear and well explained on all your videos. Thank you for teaching what you know !
Love your videos!
The way I was always taught (great for those hand saw users like myself) I lay a piece of baseboard against the wall and mark on the floor both sides going from behind the corner to in front. I also mark a vertical line on the back of the baseboard going to the top of it. I do the same with the baseboard held on the other side.
You'll now have two sets of lines on the floor and one on the back of each piece of baseboard. Now, put the first piece of baseboard back and where the outside line from the second piece comes out, make a mark on the front of the baseboard. Repeat for the second baseboard using the line on the floor from the first piece. Now draw a line on both pieces from the front bottom mark to the top rear mark and that's your angle to cut at. Make sure you cut on the out side of the line and not inside otherwise you'll end up with a gap when putting the two pieces together.
You can't always draw on the floor so a piece of paper taped to the floor will work just as well, just as long as it can't move. No extra tools to buy and this will work with any angle. I *always* do it this way because I never presume that any angle is a right angle therefore I never use a mitre box :)
You are so kind to teach us. You teach in a beautifully simple way. Such a blessing. Thank You!
I like how she’s left handed! You’ve been a big help through out the years!!!!
I rarely leave comments almost never, but I just had to tell you how impressed I was with your videos. Very clear and simple directions. Also, your encouragement at the end made me smile and feel confident to do this myself. Thank you so much for sharing your years of experience.
Leah, I just want to say that you are a wonderful teacher, you have a style that is inspiring without any condescension. I'm sure you have battled biases along the way, which makes you even more of a rock star. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your expertise and channel, I've been a residential painter and drywaller for 22 years now and I'm constantly learning new things and I've learned a lot from you, thank you so much.
Best explanation on the formulas for finding angles for outside miter cuts I've seen. Thank you.
I have to agree with J Scott. Leah's instruction is clear and to the point. It is also encouraging!
Great video. This is exactly what I have been searching for for a week! All the other videos just say to cope the trim but I knew there had to be a way to measure and cut the angle and save needless effort. Thank you so much!!
A great example why Math (Algebra & Geometry) is so important to learn. How many times did we hear "when will I ever need this?" during a math class. See, you need to learn this stuff. Thanks for the great video!
Finally! You actually explained (and not just demonstrated-which teaches nothing) how do determine that >90 cut. Thank You!
Reminds me of some of the great teachers I had in elementary school, the ones who were pleasant and you didn't even realize you were learning. What a gift to have!
Informative indeed I remembered from college as a bricklayer training that (I had 93 degrees) that if u dissect the line on paper basically dissecting between 93 degrees leaves you 46.5 so I as u did subtracted this from the 90 angle and again gave me a lovely cut ....my partners friend debbie is a carpenter and said how my cut was as good if not better than hers I was very happy ....good to know that formula though simpler than my confusing method lol
@seejanedrill. You’re the best, I used your trim video on back-cutting to wow my teacher my second attempt at coping a joint. First cut was ok, second was perfect! Cant wait to do outside corners now, thanks!
This is an excellent video.
Strait to the point, breaks down the formula, and does it a couple times with different numbers so you can really get a good idea. Then shows it in action with the end product everyone came here to see. Well done! Thanks for the awesome tips.
It is very helpful to siimplify things in teaching .
You help others thats the main thing.
When I cut basebord to casing that is off I use a pencil and scribe it from the back, I just place the base past the casing, you can reverse the base if paint is a issiue from the back
You enunciate very well and you don’t rush through things when teaching. I like this. I just subscribed. Cheers!
I have been struggling for a couple of years your video was a great help cant wait to get to the baseboard part of my job 👍🏾👍🏾✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
