Cutting the moulding

Lay the moulding with the wall side against the fence and the ceiling side on the table.

Line the pencil mark up with the blade of choice, hold the moulding firm against the fence and cut. If you are using a razor saw, pull the blade toward you on each pass through the wood: don’t saw. The miter box and easy cutter both have two fences. To make the second cut the moulding may have to be positioned on the opposite side.

TIP: After the first cut of the moulding strip lay it on the ruler or craft mat to check to see if the second mark is still accurate.
