hi everyone,
I am a finishing carpenter up here in Canada, and have a Question for all you seasoned Vets. I am installing some crown mold in a house and am experiencing some difficulties as my corners are out in some cases 4 degrees. to further confuse the issue I need to put a small transition on the corners as they have soft corners. The crown is to big and needs to be compounded. I can achieve 90’s, 45’s and 22.5’s but cannot figure out the settings if the angle is out. I know there must be some math to solve my problem and have looked for books on the subject to no avail. please point me in the right direction.
yours truly,
themindbomb
please e-mail response as i haven’t fugured out this site, and how to find responses

Are you coping the inside corners? For whatever few outside corners you have, if you want to spend money, Bosch and a few others make electronic angle finders.
