OH.... that is where i was going wrong... i wasn't 45ing it to start with :/

A tip I got from a pro finish carpenter is this: Use a small square against the baseboard to see how far out of square it is when pushed against the wall at the bottom (due to the drywall not going all the way to the floor). Using the gap, that is shown by the square at the bottom, cut a piece of shim stock the same size. Drop this in behind the baseboard and recheck for square and nail in place. No matter what you will always have a square base for your next piece of base to but up against.

Nice quick neat video cheers.

Nice job. What if you could buy the molding from the factory already coped on one end?

BRAVO!! but,dammit! you're giving away all my secrets!

@grip2010dc that's why you leave a sharp edge and hammer it in. it fixes itself and with the compressed bit at the end, if there is expansion & contraction it still stays tight

@andrewbobbin it's actually called 'coping'
I don't think I saw an answer to the question "Why not just cut two 45° and be done with it?" Answer: actually, TWO reasons come to mind, and there may be more. FIRST, most corners aren't 90°.. BAD FIT, need the putty and paint. SECOND: No matter how well you try to get the angle set, when you NAIL THE BOARD IN PLACE the miter moves apart. With this method shown you nail the butt piece first, slam the sharp edge of the cope into place, and nail to wall. No movement that opens the joint.
