Any trim guys out there ever had to do this? I have a baluster system on a roof with a 12/12 slope. The 12 inch square columns are already installed ( they stick up about three feet) but I'm trying to put the 1 X6 base (and base cap) around the bottom of the posts. I cut the "front" portion of the base and put the 45 degree miters on each end. I ripped the "side" pieces (that run up the roof) to the new height (since there at a 45 degree angle they had to be cut down so as to align with the top of the "front" piece of base). Here's where I'm having trouble. Whatever height I make the side (sloped) pieces of base I either line up with the "inner" edge of the front base and am missing the "outer" edge of the front base or the opposite if I make the height align with the "outer"edge of the front base. I can fiddle with this and maybe notch it to hob nob it, but then I still have a mess when it comes to the base cap. I can't seem to get it right. I have a compound slide saw.
a picture is worth a thousand words......kinda hard to really follow what ur asking, can u take a pic or hand draw it and email it t me? i will be glad to help ya.......( i assume ur cutting the side piece on a compound cut/miter 45 deg/45deg.....12/12=45deg)
