I have a partially recessed cabinet thet I want to frame out with cove molding. I have a compund miter saw and need to know the best way to miter the joints. Don't have enough molding to experiment with! I want it to go around the wall and the cabinet.

I actually started sewing when I was 6 years old. Then one day I got a hold of a hand saw and some old pallet wood and built a fence around the patio to keep the kids in. It's been power tools ever since for my birthday and Christmas!
I was messing up my cuts by not keeping the same side down on the chop saw. That was something I didn't know. Thanks for the advice!

I finally got it done except for cutting the glass for the door. I think I might make another door out of better material though. I thank everyone for their help!

Hey Patty...nice job all around...especially matching up to the old stain!! And here I was all worried you were missing a detail or two...silly me!!

Great job!!

Thanks! You helped me out sooooo much with this bathroom project and I appreciate it. Going on vacation for a couple of weeks next month. I'm sure I will have some more questions when I return and start tiling the shower.
Thanks Again,
Patty

Well I finally got around to making the new door frame and getting the courage to cut glass for the first time. I used a few glazier points and then drilled and nailed a stained dowel rod over it since I couldn't find any molding small enough. I can say it looks good and covers up the glazier points.
Also I was wondering when I start tiling the shower with 12x12 porce;ain tiles on hardi backerboard what is the best type of mortar to use?
Thanks,
Patty

Well Harold I finally got the new door done and also put some stained 1" cove molding around the bathroom ceiling and thanks to your advice about the miter saw I had no problem at all.
Thanks Again,
Patty

Looking good Patty. True craftsmanship. I would say you will soon be ready to try your hand at crown molding, a great way to put males to shame.

I will. I want to put some in my bedroom. I chose the cove molding because the bathroom is small but I'll get some crown and stain it and install it in the bedroom. I'm also going to get mahogany laminate floors for the whole house. I've been here 20 years and keep improving the house. Beats selling and buying a new one since this one is paid for. If i need any help I'll be sure to ask.
Thanks Again Harold!
