   Mike, if I'm framing the corner for myself, I simply put one stud in and bisect the angle.

   Since many in the business think that this is not substantial enough (opinion), I don't do this anymore for others. Instead, I rip two studs on a 22.5° and and nail them togther to form the 45° angle. I then slip a few pieces of 1/2" filler in between the two to create a solid "four-stud" corner. Of course I'm only using two studs and doing my part for the enviorment.

   I still like the one stud corner better.

   *There was an article in FH sometime in the past year, or maybe in the 'building tips' compilation - the solution was to take a 4x4, and do the 22.5 degree cut trick on it. Flip one side, nail it together, and you have filled in the potential void that otherwise needs to be blocked and filled. -TJ

   *Never heard the void needed to be filled. I put a stud either side so they touch on the inside corner. 4 airspikes to tie them together and keep them tight. Drywall spans the 1 3/4" on the outside corner no problem.

   *I attached the wrong file...I saw the same trick in "Tips for Builders". Here's a quick pic.

   *Mike, the drywallers reject your simple solution because they claim that their nails don't hit anything when they are nailing the cornerbead.blue

   *I do the same as Mike's starts off then rip a stud twice at 22.5 to form the outside corner. This gets done during punch-out time unless needed for something mid term. Keeps trim carps. and rockers happy don't know about sparkies though just try to keep nails above 24" and below 8".WT

   *Blue,Seems all the drywallers 'round here use the mud-on type bead. Lucky me!

   Any ideas/tips/tricks for framing 45 degree corners for interior walls? What have you found to be the best and easiest way to provide solid blocking for the drywall on both sides?
