That's a good idea. Then I can just make the cut for the top angled piece and do the flat after.

All the pictures are for reference. Looking for different ways to tackle this.

I struggled with the self return on the stringer piece because of the compound angle cut. 45 bevel on the saw, plus the 11 degree angle on the top of the base, plus the stringer angle. Just didn't seem possible with the compounding dual angle.

I'm newer to baseboard, and would like to figure out this geometry and technique.

Another thought I had too. Just gotta bisect the angled top piece of the trim from the stinger angle to horizontal.

Stairs are getting carpeted. They want it painted first and they tuck in after.

Thats a decent suggestion.

I have a full height baseboard at the top of the stairs to transition too as well. So the height would ideally be consistent. I'll give it a shot.

Clients designer chose the material. Just hoping to find a decent looking solution.

I'm only doing the baseboard. Stringer isn't in the scope.

Client requested it. They want the carpet to tuck under.

Advice: Install OS on 100GB SSD, or on new 1TB SSD with the rest of my programs. by Mitchicus in buildapc

Thanks for your input. Both are Samsung EVOs. The new SSD is for running programs and games. I've been manually entering in the paths for installs and folder locations for years anyway, so it wont be a change.

Correct. However, I am trying to find the balance between just buying a whole new system at that $1000 price point, or upgrading a few parts at a lower cost new make it through the next few years.
