minifan Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have 2! cuts left...and then all the crown is cut for the bungalow...but I am doing something wrong or it just isn't coming to me...can you help with these two cuts? I need to cut the plain piece and the stained piece to fit together...(if you look at this image they are sitting against the "ceiling"...) I need them to form the right angle going down the stained piece... P.S., neither of the cuts shown here are right... :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bea Killion Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I usually cut my crown moulding upside down. When you hold it up together the longest part of the cut should be on the bottom. It sounds odd, but that's how we did our RL crown moulding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Amanda, I don't want to steer you wrong because I'm going by your picture. From your picture it looks as though the stained piece and the unstained piece should have "outside corners." Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 If the second part of the picture is what you're trying to do, then the cuts need to be as the red lines are on the first part of the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bea Killion Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Amanda, it looks to me like the stained piece needs to be cut with the longest point on the bottom when on the wall. It's hard to explain. It took me a while to figure it out, doing mine. Maybe put the unfinished piece next to where it's supposed to go, and then look at the other corner that is already done and you should be able to see how it's supposed to go. It's never easy with this type of cut. I wasted a lot of wood before getting it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minifan Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 :wub: Did it work out how you wanted? I think so...I'm pretty happy with the result... The moulding is around the staircase hole, I put up a detailed picture in my gallery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
