Great video, thank you. Sanity check - do you need the offset block -- that replicates the distance from the stiles/rails to the panels -- if you cut your spacer block for the miter gauge to the required dimensions while incorporating the 45 degree angle??
Nick Vitale nick. Yes. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The 45 degree piece of popular that you see has been planed down to the 9/16 (my offset - it is usually 1/2). On some of the first ones I did, I had the offset piece, but I found working with 3 pieces of wood annoying.
Two ways you can do it. Simple way is to get one of the digital angle finders. zero it out on your stairs and the find the angle by putting it on the handrail, moulding, or something that is parallel to the stair angle. Other way is via trigonometry. Get a level where you know the length. Put it on a middle-ish stair sticking out (lower stairs are below it). Then measure down. Divide that vertical length by the length of the level. Take the inverse tangent of that on your calc. Bam..the angle.
@@aearnest thanks for an actual reply.. i just used the this old house method of using 2 boards, marking both sides of one of them then connecting the 2 lines ( may have worded that wrong). 72°. I will tuck your video away on playlist in case I need to reference in the future. Now to try tomake the baseboard (which has its base cap already) meet up with the base cap I will put under thestair skirt. This should be good.... Thanks again for replying
jpsphilsin please publish a link where you cut a piece of panel molding at an extended length at 70 degrees. I am looking forward to seeing how you do it.
Sweet tip Andy thanks for sharing!
brilliant tip!

Andy -- Thank you for the speedy reply!
How do you determine the angles you need in that bottom left corner??
This is the question i can nwver get answered from any of these videos

FEW CROWN already made one for you.
