How should I miter?

[Nilsanni]

Unsure how to tackle this corner as it currently looks really ugly 🙈
I need to consider not only the 90-degree angle but also the slanted ceiling.
Any tips on how I should approach this?

Like a typical outer corner. Looks like the trim on the left is too long, the other one too short.

Unsure how to miter this corner as it looks terrible today 🙈
I not only have the 90-degree angle to consider but also the sloped ceiling.

It’s impossible to miter these angles since you have a sloped ceiling; either use a corner block or use another type of molding that can butt against each other.

You cannot miter these angles together when you have a slanted roof, either a corner block or use another type of molding that can butt against each other.

Sure, you can miter them together. The question is, as mentioned, how I should think about the angles etc.

Sure, it's possible to miter together. The question, as I said, is how I should think about angles, etc.

Believe me, it won't work as the angle between the wall and ceiling is different on the two sides, so if you've mounted the molding as it should be against the wall (as you do if you have a flat "horizontal" ceiling), they will meet and build equally since the ceiling slopes...

Believe me, it's not possible since the angle between the wall and ceiling is different on the two sides, so if you've installed the trim as it should be against the wall (as you do if you have a flat "horizontal" ceiling), they will meet and build the same since the ceiling slopes...

Okay. But when I look at the other side, it seems they have succeeded with the same task, sloped ceiling and wall.

Good link, thanks!

Not the way the moldings are sitting there. If the part that's on the left in the picture lies flat against the ceiling instead of the wall, then it works. But not the way it's sitting now.

Not as the kusterna is sitting there. If the part that is to the left in the picture lies directly against the ceiling instead of the wall, then it works. But not as it is sitting now.

Kusterna? No more Saturday beer there…

 

[Motherfucker]

Okay. But looking at the other side, they seem to have succeeded with the same elements, slanted ceiling and wall.

Yes, but here you have no slanted ceiling; the angle between the wall and ceiling is 90 degrees, so it's simple😉

The coasts? No more Saturday beer there...

It should say the lists.

 

[Nilsanni]

Yes, but here you don't have a sloped ceiling, the angle between the wall and the ceiling is 90 degrees, then it's easy😉

No, it's a sloped ceiling just like on the other side. Exactly the same angles.

No, it's a slanted ceiling just like on the other side. Exactly the same angles.[image]

Then you've turned the molding so that it's not placed at 90 degrees against the wall, meaning the molding doesn't build to the same measurement but is angled!

The easiest way is probably to experiment with a couple of scrap pieces and see if it's possible to achieve. It will be a compound cut, 45° outer corner and simultaneously tilt the saw at half the roof pitch angle.
