Cutting Trim to Fit a Table Lamp Base

Ok. Now that I've cut this piece of trim an inch and a half wide, I'm going to cut it into pieces to make trim for this base. First, I'm going to take it with the rough edge up and just cut a forty-five degree angle on one end of it. Then, I'm going to take the piece and flip it over like this and come back a ways that so it's long enough. We're not going to try and measure this right now. We're just cutting pieces long enough to start the trim process. And, I'll cut another one here. Ok. Now, this is what I've got. Two pieces, rough end up at a forty-five. We're going to place them on the base like this and fit the corners together. That corner looks pretty good. So, we're going to cut four pieces just like this. So, you'll have to go to this corner lay your square on there at a forty-five degree angle like this. I'm sorry, like this. Mark here and cut it. And, then do the same thing all the way around. We're also going to do the same thing to our piece that we cut that was an inch and a quarter wide. And, that's going to be the trim for the smaller base.
