   The easy method for trim is to buy the square corner transitions that fit that bullnose cornerbead.  Looks good too.

   Have 22.5'd around the corner and used the blocks.  Either work, but you might mock up one of those square corner transitions to see if you like it.

   Here's one way. This is some custom millwork that I'm spraying...I"m guessing the radius piece will be cut a little taller than base...top left square?

   Everything will be okay in the end.  If it's not okay, it's not the end.

   there are premade corners for this ...

   but I still like the look of a square corner at the bottom of a round wall ...

   makes for a "column look" ...

   my painter fills the gap with DAP Window glazing putty ...

   fills good .. levels nice ... doesn't shrink ... paints great.

   Sorry but this has been covered before and 90 degree base with radius drywall corners looks like crap. Granted your painter did a fine job filling it but if square corners are the look... use standard cornerbead.... Don't know what the column look is, if that's it .... I don't want it.

   Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

   I like the square under round, but I like better, the transition seen on the wall above, with the round flaring out with a fillet, to square, right before it dives into the well-done mitered corner.

   Those Norco thingies cost about a buck a piece, glue on quick and you're almost done, probably your taper doesn't charge a nickel extra to give it the little mud job it needs to finish.

   And of course, Mr. Finish Carp charges less to square miter 'em.

   Everybody wins!  Great looks, low cost.

   Baseboard's baseboard.  I like to put the sawdust skills into the eye candy at eye level.

   Round corners sort of remind me of either Mexican whorehouses, or padded cells, anyways.

   That's a slick speaker surround.  Your design?

   JeffBuck | Mar 10, 2005 04:38am | #12

   I made the mistake of half framing the pedestals and not wrapping with drywall before the customer could see them!

   He had yet another idea .... hey ... instead of putting the speakers behind them ....

    

   so .. we moved the speaker wire boxes and the receptical(powered speakers) inside the nook ... then the plan was set to wrap and finish them the whole way around.

   that guy had some vision, I tell ya.

   great guy to with "with" .... he'd envision the "big pic" ... I'd dress up his ideas and make them more realistic ...

   those speaker nooks started as just a place to rest yer elbow and hold a beer while playing pool.

   I think he even changed speaker models a slight bit to get some with better/different porting to make for a better sound "out" of the enclosure.

   Take a look at Trimtex 350 bull corner bead. It's half the radius of a 3/4 bullnose and Jeffs trick works slicker than snot on it. The filler is almost not even necessary with square corner trim miters on the 350.

   350 Bull leaves a "shine" on all your corners without over softening the crisp lines like 3/4" bull does.

   Where did you find this trimtex bead? I looked on the interner and couldn't find it. Appreciate an answer. Thanks. Ace

   i've trimmed a few houses with these corners it's about all you see now, down here. the way i've always done it is with little trapeziod block cut from your base with 2, 22.5 degree angles on it you can cut them in bulk before you begin.one time i even nailed all the blocks on before i began running the base. the half inch corner bead is the exact same radius as the bottom of a soda can which comes in handy when doing window sills.

   im with buck.  square corners are way better than those dumb little radius pieces.  the easiest way to fill the gap is auto body bondo.  fills, bonds, and sands great.  sets solid in sbout 15 minutes as well.

   That's the way I've always done it, too. Until I had a retro job, where the customer wanted the corners changed to bullnose, but didn't want to pay for replacing all the baseboard too. I sawzalled the cornerbead at the top of the baseboard, and put the bullnose from there up. Jeff's trick would have been good for that one. I used painter's caulking, it worked OK, but I think Dap 33 would have been better. The problem with those 22&1/2 trapezoids is when the corners are out of whack due to sloppy framing. I find myself building little corner assemblies, glueing the trapezoids in place, then fitting the assemblies to the wall as best as possible, and relying on caulking for the rest. Man I hate relying on caulking when I'm doing finish. I've never seen 1/2" radius cornerbead, it sounds interesting. I much prefer the look of bullnose over square corners. I didn't get that thing about the soda can at all - could you elaborate?

   maybe it was the 3/4" ones that matched the coke can. now that i think of it i've never seen 1/2" either, only 3/4" and bigger.anyways, the bottom ring on a coke can is the same size circle as the 3/4" bead so you can use it to trace for windowsills and such.i know that didn't explain it much different but i guess i can't.
