Guru's / Master,
I'm about to install wood trim or Cornish on my ceiling.
Need your valuable inputs on the "how to" to start my project. A laddered instruction will be helpful, specially proper cutting and connecting of miter joints.
Note: Wallings are not properly scaled.
thank you very much! :thanks:

Re: Need tips on installing Cornisa (wood trim)
thank you for the link!
my only concern about this project, is to figure-out techniques in cutting and connecting cornering joints to have a smooth results.
btw, i consider installing trims to conceal some gaps in between the ceiling and walls.

Re: Need tips on installing Cornisa (wood trim)
From my experience, I built and used a miter sawing box so that I can have accurate miter cuts. The miter sawing box should be able to hold the corniza in place like it is in its installed position, meaning slanted already. I found it better to measure the cut lengths on the bottom of the corniza rather than the top length. I also found it better to use a backsaw instead of the usual carpenters cross-cut or rip saw. Attached are photos of a miter sawing box and a backsaw so you'll have an idea.
Of course what I mentioned above is for manually cutting the cornizas. A power miter saw can do all of these with ease, if you have one. I hope this helps you.
