Hi all,
This week we're having a new kitchen floor installed. It's a vynel floor that looks like hardwood. Unlike standard vynel flooring, it comes in planks just like hardwood and not in rolls, which is what I'm used to. The baseboard is beginning to look a little ratty so I've decided to replace it. Mind you, this is the first time in my life doing anything with baseboard. While taking down the old baseboard, I noticed that in some corners two pieces of baseboard butt up against each other with 45 degree angles cut into each piece to make the 90 degree corner. In other places, one of the pieces has simply been cut to length and nailed into place. The piece that butts up against it, however, has had a fairly intricate curved cut made on it so that it butts up against the first piece much the way two puzzle pieces would come together. The first type of joint shouldn't present much of a problem --- some careful measuring and the correct angle on the radial arm saw. The second affair is well beyond my woodworking talents. Are there tools that would make such a fancy cut in one fell swoop or, at least, in a few very simple steps? Is there any compelling reason why I shouldn't just use the simple 45 degree cuts at every corner? Any help on this task or on the overall job is greatly appreciated. Take care, Ed Przybylek [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
