Outside Corner Measurement for Base Molding Installation

Video Transcript

" Hi! I am Tim Eaton on behalf of Expert Village and we are doing our shoe molding demonstration. We have already got one cut done and now we are working on demonstrating the outside corner measurement technique. So just like a normal cut like we have already shown, you want to start at your end that the shoe molding is going to butt against so put your tape there. Just measure out to that very outside corner and the only difference is on this one, since the piece itself is going to extend past the corner to match, to connect to this other piece that goes on this side, your measurement here is going to be on the back of your shoe molding and you are 45 degree angle, which is what this wall is here; all these are 45 to match them up in the corner. Your 45 degree angle make it come out in another you know half an inch or so, and that is how the other piece will connect. It will be much easier to understand and see once we got our two pieces here and you can see how they connect, so our measurement here is just over 36. We are going to call it 36 and a 16th and remember that that is the measurement for the back of the piece, not the front. Let us go outside of the saw and take a look at it."
