The dado rail that comes down the stairs, how do i join it onto the piece that goes straight in the hall?

Answer 1

Don't try cutting it at any old angle. (Oh god this is me being sensible here!) I did mine by getting two pieces of carboard the same width as the dado, then drawing the line of both sections of dado were to be fastened onto the wall. Where the two lines crossed I put the cards and was able to work out the precise angle to cut.
That last bit again - put one bit of card on the horizontal line, one on the sloping line and mark the crossing points. That line will be the cutting angle. your joint will be perfect.

If you've read any of my other answers today, you may think I'm bullsh*tting here. But honestly, I'm not!

To make match you have to measure the angle and divide it between the two cuts. A sliding bevel would help you.

Answer 5

You have to cut the end piece so it end up like the shape of a half triangle.
