I've worked quite a lot with 3D graphics, physics and stuff, and consider myself having quite a good sense of spatial reasoning; twisting and turning things in my head. Still, for some reason mitering these assholes (ceiling skirting boards, don't know the name of this type in English) breaks my brain. I can think about it for 5 minutes and then go cut them wrong.

@SonnyBonds In my experience, you need to cut a few templates first. Bring the templates to each corner and see which matches, and then bring those to the mitre saw.

@rollbear After a wrong cut or two I tend to get in the flow and get it right actually. It's just weird that it's so much harder than it feels like it should be.
