This place is unbelievable. One comes, asks a question, gets some honest attempts to answers but which doesn't fully do so, and then when I add a possible solution others might find useful I get a load of thinly veiled insults and then to top it all get posts implying my polite answers have...

I have no idea why anyone would come to such a conclusion. If I am likely to do so, I'm absolutely sure the chippy would be more likely to.

But you didn't do so. You drew attention to ones I 've read and which whilst seemed hopeful didn't turn out to solve the issue.

Thanks but none of those posts relate to my previous post. (Even if you do shout and try to belittle me to make yourself feel big.) It is obvious that the thing needs to be supported at 45 degrees, the problem always was how. The video does not show the solution it shows a cornice/coving...

Just to say I've been staring at this cornice for a while and I think I may have cracked the big secret. The cut out at the back, which I took to be there solely for giving a flat surface to put the screws in. It looks as if it can be used for a second function. Turn the cornice upside...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I had considered adding a piece of taller material into the mix, but was concerned how easy it was to hold two pieces in place and pay attention to ensuring my fingers were nowhere near the blade. I hadn't attempted it yet in the hope there was a trade solution I...

To clarify the issue here are 2 photos. The instruction video shows a flat area at both ends so one has a fighting chance of positioning it correctly as it shows with one flat on the base and the other against the wall. But the second image shows the shape I have where there is only one...

Ah shoot. I now see the top video is the relevant one, the lower one seems to be for some flat moulding. The trouble is I only recently treated myself to a mitre saw, a PCMS210L Performance Power, and as far as I can see it doesn't have this high fence needed; so I'm back to the cornice...

Cheers, I'll check it all out and hopefully learn about it all. I'll be back if I still have questions. Having looked at it a few times I suspect I should go out and order some "scrap" for pretesting. It seems to work for them, but I think I need to see for myself it works when I do it. :)

Thanks. I think that is the nub of my question. How to achieve this. In the past when I've only had to cut a 45º in what was basically rectangular material the need to clamp it somehow has never arisen.

Thanks. Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I don't see how a normal box is of help. There is no vertical on the cornice to push against the back, were it otherwise there'd be little problem. And the only horizontal is about 20mm wide, so it's like trying to keep a pencil up on it's...

My kitchen project has been stalled for some time now and the reason is the cornice I bought for the top of the wall cabinets, The straight bits went fine, but where I needed a 45º cut for the corners I got problems. I tried a common mitre box but the problem is that the cornice is...

Thank you. Fence isn't that thick so I may use hook/eye and simply tie it then.

If you don't know the answer then thank you for responding, I'm sure someone else will be able to help soon.

I confess to not knowing a great deal about gardening. However my girlfriend seems to think I do as I am getting hinted at regarding this rose she has. She keeps asking about the cheap fan trellis she has in the garage and how it would be nice to get the rose to climb over it. Personally I...
