Here's a trick you don't come across too often
But boy is it handy and accurate.
You could take you bevel gauge and get the larger angle and then take a compass and bisect the angle like you probably were taught in math class way back when.
But there's a better way.
Watch this short video to discover this great trick.

What about putting crown on a wall with a sloped ceiling?
What’s the trick for interior angles?
Coping saw
Its too hard to find the right angle in an unsquare house. Using a coping saw will give the illusion of squareness.
Really ? lol
That’s pretty cool.
I use an adjustable square.
In the real world.. Three 90s make a circle. Just look up at your corner and ceiling if you don’t believe me. Have a great day. Merry kissmyass!!!
Funny that in the add photo that the miters don’t line up
ummmmm i thought everyone knew this stuff
Chop saw!
My way is using any piece of paper…….. fold it so that it matches the angle and then fold it in half again……….. use that pattern to set the saw. Easy, cheap, and fast!!!
Frayed the $#%&!@* out of the top of the trim too …
Coping is the best way. Once you get the hang of it you will not want to do it any other way.
ok, looks good to me, frayed? gonna caulk it and paint, never see it
Piece of cake
do it in crown
Tom Silva is my hero. I wish i knew half of what that man knew!
Same thing, just flip them over
Law of Cosines to find exact angle
Divide by Two & set saw!
PS: Sum of exterior angles is 360°
Divide number of segments into
180° to find the half angle
Ok. Thanks. That’s what I was thinking.
coping say is used for inside corners
and it’s not an illusion
There isn’t a trick, it called coping
Slick enough, but… the angle that you determine, with this method, is also dependent upon another factor which Tom neglects (or is unaware of), namely that the two scrap pieces (of identically dimension) must be held perpendicular to the intersection of the wall surfaces, in most cases that would be horizontal. He illustrates this by using the demonstration “floor,” yet makes no mention of how this may or may not influence the accuracy of his measured angle. And especially in a little old house, even the floors are not always horizontal…..
This is good to now

Coping is for inside only.
You cant find an angle with a coping saw.
Jesse Meyle…..But of course I already knew this trick, we just never made it that far in “our teachings”..lol 😉
Can’t cope an outside corner…
Cool
Don’t know bout y’all these hands are skilled. Ryobi battery skill. Speed square pencil. Trim nails and an east wing baseboard quarter round. Crown molding and these hands. Done in no time
Don’t know the angle or how to read a square grab a protracto
R
They have an app for this
You can cope an outside corner. I do it all the time.
It would be an illusion if your house isnt square. And you can cope an outside corner, i prefer just to back cut it. There is all different ways to do it, as long you end with the same result, whats the difference?
Caulking and paint will fix what you ain’t
31.62×45
Ive taught a dozen guys how to use their mitre saw
That’s crown molding in 90 corners
Upside down and backwards in most saws…compound sliders rule,.
Read your $#%&!@*ing manual. .lmao
I don’t follow. How do you fold it to match the angle?
Yes, we get it; some people prefer to use a coping saw. But that method doesn’t teach or hone your trig skills. And any carpenter will tell you their most important tool is math. Second is a sharp pencil.
Todd Carli, you got ask tommy!
Been doing it like that for 30 yrs!!! Man I’m old …..
Thx 🙂
