any help?

Answer 1

45 degree is the most common and in my opinion the best

Answer 2

IF you mean splicing together 2 pieces along a wall longer than your 1/4 round stock, the way I've done it in the past is as follows:
Where the 2 pieces meet, cut them both at a 45 degree angle, but in opposite directions. I nail the undercut one to the wall first, then insert the other piece tightly into the miter.

Answer 3

Cut at a 45% angle, like one of the others say use a miter box with a fine tooth saw. Put the open edge of the cut behind the finish edge. When you nail it in place put the nail just before the lap, not on the lap. You may want to pre drill the nail hole to insure you do not split the wood.

Answer 4

The acceptable method is the 45 degree cut, use a mitre saw and mitre box. Depending on the thickness of the wood, I would often wrap the wood with a bit of masking tape to stop splintering, if your saw has a large number of teeth per inch you won't need tape. I prefer using a bandsaw over a hand saw, although it is hardly worth investing in an electric saw for two cuts.

Answer 5

to cut it , use a miter saw. Either a chop saw or a simple miter box will do. The amgle can vary between 22.5 - 45
