HOW TO WORK WITH WOOD MOULDINGS
SPECIFY BROSCO MOULDINGS
When measuring moulding lengths for your materials list, always round off
your measurement to the next highest foot. It is far wiser to come out long
than short.
Make a list of your moulding needs by noting the number of pieces required
by length in each pattern. From this stock, your BROSCO dealer will furnish
random standard lengths. Many times shorter lengths are the best buy, so
don’t overlook specifying these when they are needed. Measuring mouldings
to be mitered, add the width of the mouldings to the length for each miter. If
your moulding is 3 inches wide and you have two miters add 6 inches, then
round off to the next highest foot.

MOULDING CRAFTSMANSHIP
Mitering a Moulding
This is a basic operation in working with moulding. Set your miter box saw
at 45°, as shown in Figure 1. Trim each of the two mitering members in
opposite cuts so together they form a tight, right angle (Figure 7). For tight
miter joints, nail and glue at joint as shown. Make sure nails are countersunk
below the surface. If you don’t own a miter box, check the equipment rentals.
Coping a Moulding
Set moulding in miter box as it is to be installed on wall, upright against
backplate (Figure 2). Trim at 45° angle. Remaining profile serves as guide
line for coping saw, used to trim away wedge at another 45° angle (Figure 5).
Fit profile against face of adjoining moulding (Figure 6).
Making a Jig (Figure 3)
Many projects require “picture framing” techniques of extreme accuracy. A
jig is actually a “mold” in which frames are made more rapidly, accurately,
and uniform in size. The inside dimensions of the jig equal the outside
dimensions of the frame. The jig consists of stock pieces of lumber nailed to
any flat, nailable surface. Blocks can be used (as shown) where necessary to
straighten moulding against side of jig.
