Even the most skilled carpenter can make an error, but just because an error occurs, doesn't mean the job is ruined. If you make a bad cut on an angled piece of moulding, correct the error by making a clean cut on the inside of the defect. Once you have the proper angle, cut the moulding to fit by trimming the opposite end. (This is why it's important to specify extra moulding). Keep leftover wood pieces in a scrap bin or milk jug. These pieces work well for decorative, matching, and contrasting parts. They're also handy for screw plugs. This blog entry was developed from the LMC Newsletter article library.
