Hi...I am installing wainscoting in the kitchen of a 100 year old plaster walled house. I am using 1/2" MDF for the rails and stiles...leaving the original baseboard and will use poplar for the handrails. The rails and stiles are, of course, like a picture frame into which I glued 1/8" hardboard. All of this worked fairly well except that due to bulges and generally out of square/plumb everything. I plan to put molding to line the inside of the "frame" created by the rail/styles. The miters are not going to be exact 45's...I am wondering if there is a good way to make the miters fit well on all 4 corners?
My thinking was to take the angle from where the stile and rail meet...divide it by 2...and cut that angle on my table saw...I don't have a miter saw. Then theres the question of the other end of the stick...all the way around the frame. Help would be appreciated!!
