Since I need a new home office chair, any road, I figured I'd add it to my slowly growing MCM home aesthetic.

But online searching brings up hundreds of incredibly disparate examples of what different people consider fitting.

I'm a rank amateur at any form of carpentry or woodworking.

The short version of this is I'm trying to cut baseboard trim without a miter box/miter saw.

I live in an apartment, but the landlord will pay me for and DIY work I do.

I installed LVP floors in my little bathroom, and now I'm at least attempting to trim in the baseboards.

I bought enough primed/painted wood trim to do the job.

I also bought a hand miter box with backsaw. I cannot justify the expense nor do I have the storage for a power miter saw.

I thought I was all set until I went to cut my first piece. The previous person who floored this room used an unuall high cove base. When I removed it, it left the wall in really bad shape.

Rather than trying my luck at skim coating drywall, I bought baseboard that was 5 in tall.

To my chagrin, my new clamping miter saw will only work on wood up to 4 inches tall or wide.

Any idea what I do now? I checked online for a larger capacity miter box, but for a decent one I might as well buy a cheap used tabletop miter saw.

How do I make bevel cuts, or frankly any cuts, in this trim without a miter box?
