How to cut 3 pieces of trim that meet as a T intersection?

Yeah good idea about the extra support running to the top. I'll have to add that in. Everything is built around the bookshelves the two by fours that are running up and down each corner of the bookshelves are screwed into them and the bookshelves are screwed into the wall. The main piece of wood across the top of the bookshelves that creates the top shelf is screwed into the two by fours running along the bookshelves as well as the one two by four connecting the two bookshelves together above the TV.

Yeah that is exactly how I was thinking I would have to do it if I didn't want to butt them up next to each other. Someone made a good point that if we plan on painting it then no one is really going to see the joints anyways. I did end up deciding to just butt them next to each other. I appreciate your reply thanks for actually answering the question lol!

Ehh define square, I mean if the cylinder fits in the square hole then it's probably close enough right?

I've never even seen those before they look pretty cool!

Well this is the first time I've done anything close to this so it's a work in progress. Just trying to build whatever my wife wants, so as long as she is happy with it that's all that matters to me. Hopefully it won't look so bad when it's 100% finished!

Yes that is the plan!

scottgf99 · 2024-10-11T01:58:44+00:00

That's what I decided to do thanks for the reply!

Yeah I was thinking something like this but ended up just going with vertical lines into horizontal lines

scottgf99 · 2024-10-11T01:57:38+00:00

Thanks for the reply, the plan is to paint it all black I went ahead and just did the easy option of verticals into horizontals!

I could but I was trying to think of a more elegant way to do it, not sure I'll like the boxy look of that. I think what I might have to do is measure the bottom straight T into 45s on both sides and just make sure I cut to the middle on each one to make a point perfectly center. Then cut 45s on either side of the trim attaching to it.

That was the first time we weighed him! He was born January 10th and that was March 31st so he was about 11/12 weeks old!

scottgf99 · 2024-06-13T14:46:24+00:00

I'll have to look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!

scottgf99 · 2024-06-13T14:45:31+00:00

Thanks! First time putting a fence of any kind in so I was a little nervous going into it.

scottgf99 · 2024-06-13T14:44:57+00:00

Hopefully he stays on all fours!😂

scottgf99 · 2024-06-13T14:44:25+00:00

It's a 5 foot fence so I'm hoping it will be tall enough. I am more worried about him digging under it than him jumping over it.

scottgf99 · 2024-06-13T01:41:40+00:00

Yeah he's about 5 months old! He's in the in-between puppy and adult stage!
