Great info. All of my original base from 1916 was cut this way. It really helps on tall base boards to make the joint look perfect.
Wow we need something like this here. Thanks
I often use a Dremel tool to finish the final cuts. I've even seen people use a angle grinder to do the same. But, that's too aggressive for me.
Do you normally cope the inner corners of cornices or do you miter those?
Two things: a coping saw is meant to be used by pulling on the handle, not pushing. By pulling, the blade is always in tension and will stay straight, whereas if you push, as Brent Hull is doing, the slender blade will bend, cut poorly and even pop out of its keepers on the saw. The second thing is that the back cutting is way too much. A few degrees is adequate. He will have a void inside that joint with that much back-cutting.
Terrific coping tutorial.
Wow. That was terrible editing
that was a horrible demo of that technique
