Hello all,
I've been away from this forum for an eternity, but now I have a question I haven't figured out. Probably all due to abysmal math skills.
I am nearing the final stages of building a tall bookcase for my living room, and I want to add custom crown molding across the top and two sides. This is not normal crown molding, but one I am doing a simple custom mill job to match the casework I did many years ago elsewhere in the house. I am looking to have the molding at a 45° angle on the top and sides, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to cut the angled miter joints at the outside corners to achieve a nice tight miter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Attached is a screenshot of one corner from SketchUp.
