   Chris,

   I think the best way is to rip larger stock with a 22-1/2 degree bevel on both sides and nail them together to form a double stud right on the angled corner. This provides backing for drywall on both sides of the wall, and creates the strongest, simplest joint.

   I also frame them placing the studs normally and right up to the inside corner. Then I rip fillers by making multible cuts on 2x stock.

   A picture would be worth a thousand word here.

   Tom

   *I've ripped 2x4's at a 45º angle leaving a 1-1/2" wide cant strip. If you nail one to the edge of each corner stud so that the cant strips touch each other, it fills in the corner nicely.A picture would be nice here.

   *Here's your picture guys... is it close enough to what you do? Works for me. Three 2x4's, no waste.

   *Ralph,I like your idea and will try it on my next house. Here is an even lower tech picture of my standard method. I requires two rips on the same piece but I can install all of them later as part of my framing punch out. Thanks for the tip though,Tom

   *That looks real good Ralph. Tommy's way would work fine too. I did one yesterday on a remodel that the plates were at slightly different heights so I did it like Tommy, but used the off cut to fill the inside corner too. A picture would be real nice here.

   *I saw a tip for this in one of the FH tip books. (Tips & Techniques for Builders, Taunton Press, 1994) The tip is from a Ron Milner, Grass Valley, CA. Basically, rip a 4x4 on a bandsaw at 22.5 degrees, right down the middle. Then, flip one piece of the rip end for end, and join the pieces back together, cut edge to cut edge. This gives a completely solid corner, no waste. There's a picture in the book, but I don't have a scanner. I might redraw it tomorrow if I get the chance.Of course, if you don't have a bandsaw on site, well... try one of the above?Sean

   *i if you don't have a bandsaw on siteHee hee, that's beautiful.If you don't have an engine puller on site, well...Of course, I could be wrong, maybe most sites these days have bandsaws. Just haven't seen one.MD

   *Yo, that's the tip the book gave. I didn't write it. There was another tip on the same page that basically involved ripping a 4x4 three times, to get the same effect. That one looked to me to be really ugly to do. I don't have a bandsaw myself, so I know I won't be using that tip. Of course, I prefer square walls. (My current house has 45 degree walls. I hate it.)Anyway, below's a rough approximation of the sketch in the book.Sean

   *Hehe,Like I have a 4x4 on site! I saw that tip two, its a good way of doing it but not practical for me. Thanks for the post though.Hey Mike, wonder if there's a way to have a cyber dirt floor that we can scratch pictures into with a twig while we scratch our chins. Now that would be some technology.Tom

   how is a 45 corner framed- it's a partition wall? i'd think a small area would have to be ripped out from each butting corner framing member to get a solid corner, but not sure how best to do that. thanks.
