Never thought of doing that when the board is taller.... genius!

[debbiemarlow]

Thank you. 56 old women trying to change my baseboards. Your example was very good!

You solved my problem...I didn't want to spend $ on an electric miter saw when I was only going to be working on a small kitchen, but my trim/baseboards were too tall to fit in the miter box. Thank you so much!!

You sir are a genius. I wish I’d see this before I had to cut 8” baseboard!

[nickwilkins]

That way to mitre wood which is taller than the mitre box is just brilliant! Thank you SO much!

I bought one of these last year, but I since have succumbed to the idea that a power tool could do this better. Regretfully, and after a lot of money, I'm back to the $20 plastic miter box I bought last year.

You are wonderful!!! I have some tall baseboards I need to cut but couldn’t figure out how to do it with the miter box and didn’t want to purchase a big table saw just yet for 4 cuts! Thank you again! I hope it’ll work for my project! 😊

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you helped me☺

[adriennekennedy]

Thank you, your video has given me the courage to try to replace some baseboard trim.🙂

Thank you for the idea on the taller boards. i bought baseboard that was around 6" tall and realized i couldn't make good angles in the box since it was 4" You are a gentleman and a scholar good sir!

[HenryMartin-epmu]

Thanks, because I enjoy during things for myself. God Bless you❤

[beckibalok]

Absolutely Fantastic…you are brilliant. many thanks for making such a ‘top notch’ video per my request!

[maisara]

Many thanks for all the professional details and tips

[jjohnson]

This was my issue today..now to build the jig!..thank you!

[timbarry]

Great idea with that jig. I suppose you could add one more piece to the bottom of the jig that sticks out in the back so the work piece would sit on that rather than the table top. Then you don't need a super flat bench.

Those yellow plastic miter boxes are so dangerous. I accidentally cut off my left leg, mid thigh, with that exact unit.

[galaga]

Yeesh, that plastic miter box seems cheap? Any particular reason one wouldn't spend a little extra money for a metal one? Any down sides?
