How-To
Solving Tough Miter Angles for Staircase Baseboards
Use a sliding T-bevel and simple angles to simplify skirtboard and landing transitions.
In this video, Fine Homebuilding contributing editor Rick Arnold demonstrates how to find skirtboard-to-landing baseboard-trim miter angles without using math. Instead, his easy and foolproof method starts with a random angle on the wall that is then transferred to the baseboard using a sliding T-bevel. As an added bonus, there won’t be a test for this geometry lesson.
