What am I doing wrong with my copes?
I’m putting up some crown molding and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong with my copes for the inside corners. I started with a coping saw but couldn’t quite get the hang of it, so I switched to an angle grinder with a flip pad.
Adding some pictures of the closest I’ve gotten things to fit with my practice pieces…am I not taking off enough material? I’m using a Kreg jig to hold the piece at the correct angle each time for the miter cuts.
Edit: didn’t expect this to get so much attention lol. Hopefully my DIY skills make you appreciate the apprentices a little more!
For some extra context: I was having a hard time getting the feel of where the piece should be sitting. Multiple positions felt snug to the wall. After reading through some of the comments, plan is to fit a scrap piece, measure that distance between ceiling and bottom of piece, then transfer that line down the wall as a reference. I don’t know that I’ll be jumping at the opportunity to do a follow up post though..
