I have a crown molding cut to make that I just can't figure out how to
make.
It's a 140 degree inside left inside right. So the miter saw has to be set
to 70 degrees. How do I cut this with a miter saw that only handles 50
degrees at most. The crown is a 6" 45* spring angle. I have no problem
with
crown that is 50* or less but just can't figure out how to make this cut!

Thanks in advance,
Rich

Instead of trying to make a miter cut you can do it by hand with a coping
saw. One piece goes flat against the wall and the other is "coped" so that
when they fit together you can't tell the difference between it and a
bon-a-fide miter joint. I don't want to leave you hanging, I can do it, but
I don't think that I can do a good job of explaining how to do it. Hope some
on jumps in and describes it for you.

I don't even understand the original question very much, but I do
understand your reply.

The simplest example is quarter-round meeting at an inside corner.
Cut the left one flat and put it right into the corner. The right one
should have a quarter round cut out of it, perpendicular to the piece
of wood,itlself and parallel to the first piece that went in on the
left

We had an assignment in the 8th grade to explain something mechanical.
I tried a simple mechanical can opener, and it was incomprehensible.
Another guy tried a lock cylinder, and even though I hadn't known how
they worked before, I did after he read his description, (which was no
longe than mine.) I think I'm better than I was in the 8th grade, but
I'm not sure. .
