Trimming Rounded Corners- A handy little trick!

When trimming rounded corners or bullnose it can be a challenge to get your baseboard measurements right. I developed a handy tool that saves a lot of time...

Nice joint. Thanks for the video. I've done untold thousands of these bullnose base corners as a trim carpenter. Three decades and untold thousands made me pretty good at these. I tried many techniques including using a ijg like yours, and also a jig with just one miter. I've done so many of these I just mark the first long piece in place by eye, cut and install. Mark the shorty in place also by eye. Cut and install. Then measuring to the long point on the shorty, cut and install. And that final miter on the third piece is 25 not 22.5 so the joint stays closed on the front. If things aren't perfectly lined up I persuade the joints into good alignment with my hammer. I can really boogie on these bullnose corners, both paint AND stain work. Took me a LOT of corners to do the bullnose boogie. lol Definitely enjoyed your video. Thanks again.

This is by far the best on the job technique.

Thanks for sharing and teaching that technique, great job!

Thanks for the tip. My nail gun usually breaks that center piece so I just glue it. Also, I make a bunch of those center pieces so they are all the same size. Cutting at 23 degrees definitely helps.

Thanks Steve, Just replaced my floors. I've got maybe 16 rounded corners. I couldn't believe what guys were charging to do this work so I'm doing it myself. I've done baseboard before so it's no big deal, thanks for the help.

I have marked a line on my chop saw for the size needed for the middle chunk, cut them all at the same time, and use the 2 side peices as guides to nail on all the corners first. Then I measure out all the baseboard at the same time and cut it all at once

[jasonfreeman]

Thank you! Made the job much easier and looks good too.

Nice Job Steve. Good camera placement too.

I've got that kind of bull-nose wall corners in about 1/2 my house and have to replace all the baseboards after I tore them out to replace the flooring (a lot of them weren't in very good shape and the corners were all cut square). I think I have this down, but it's good to see other people doing exactly what I am planning on doing.

Good tips! I’m repainting our house and, years ago, a puppy decided she liked chewing on our baseboards so I’ll be replacing many areas. I’m having a hard time finding the exact ones so will have to contact our builder for help.
