   I'm hoping I understand your question as I try to answer, and not have you end up with a whole pile of drop with nothing on the walls. Start with the inside corners first and determine the angle, divide by two, (does not matter the angle if above is followed) and this gives the miter cut angle for the inside. Set bottom trim first, then slide panels in, set the top trim. Outside corners are marked cut 45deg ( anything 90deg and under for sharp edges) and the way I do it on odd angles up to about 95deg is cut the bevel a little steeper and finish fit with a peanut sander and vortek type disk. On outside corners if the same panel is cut and used to continue the next wall it looks as if the panel is continuous with no breaks.
   More than one or two sentence explanations are not my strong point but hope that helped. Anyone got any tricks I can use?

   *Whenever I make mitre cuts for angled walls, I first measure the angle. I then divide the number of degrees in that angle by 2, and then subtract it from 90 degrees to get the mitre setting. Here's an example, if I am running base moulding and the wall angle measures 135 degrees, divide 135 by 2 which is 67-1/2 degrees. Subtract 67-1/2 from 90 degrees. 22-1/2 degrees is what you'll set your saw at. To determine your wall angles you can use a bevel gauge and a protractor. After determining the mitre angle you could set your table saw blade using the bevel gauge adjusted to the mitre setting and cut your panels.

   Looking for suggestions or tips on installing prefinished raised panel wainscot it's glazed that's why it's prefinished.
   There are a couple of angled walls and not to mention corner walls. We all know none of these walls have actual 45 degree angles. All these panels will be made slightly oversized for scribing and cutting the angles. any help or tips would be appreciated.
