MDF is NOT a good trial base for coping. The fuzz and
other bumps left while "adjusting" the fit will be even
more difficult. Buy the cheap(er) finger jointed pine
for learning. Coping is a pain in the ass, but coping
mdf is even worse.

IF you have a Dremel tool...get it out. A Dremel tool
with various cutters is a wonderful "coping tool"...

yeah, that's what I've been doing. I don't have a clue what's going wrong
either.
Gonna go pickup some mdf crown at the despot today and practice some more
on that. If I can't get that stuff coped right I'll never be able to do
this maple.
