Speaking of coping...

It seems like I always find a method for doing something I've never seen any-
one use before. Half the time I find out there's another way to do it that's
twice as fast with better results, half the time I stick with my way. The best
way to cope a piece of trim is with the venerable mini grinder cum sanding
disc, if you're working in a dust-permitted environment. You make the back-
miter on a chopsaw to get the profile and maybe trace the line for better
visibility with the side of your pencil lead, and just hog off the waste with
the
grinder. Takes a little practice but is fast, and accurate. Right? Right??

what the hell: YEAH, Bub, your RIGHT! whatever floats your boat.
sounds like a viable way to do it if you don't making some dust. I use
the ole coping saw method, and it's ok, as long as I keep my precious
pinkies away from those sharp blades...
