Cutting and Installing Baseboard Trim

In the master bedroom, Bob Ryley is installing the medium density fiberboard baseboard trim. Where two pieces of trim meet in a corner, Ryley's approach is to cope the inside corner. He begins by using a table saw to cut out the majority of the wood. Then, using a coping saw, he follows the trim's edge profile to get a tight-fitting joint. Ryley first dry fits the coped joint to check the work and, once satisfied, secures the trim with finish nails. More information
