Timestamped Summary

00:00Mitering two different widths of pieces allows you to create a perfect 90-degree corner.

00:22Using a square, place the wider piece on top of the narrower piece, ensuring they are flush.

00:57Make a mark on the narrower piece using a sliding T-bevel to determine the angle.

01:19Adjust the angle on the miter saw to match the mark on the narrower piece.

02:24Secure the wider piece with double-sided tape and cut it at a 90-degree angle.

03:09Attach double-sided tape to the miter saw table and place the narrower piece against it.

03:30Cut the narrower piece at the determined angle using the miter saw.

03:45The two mitered pieces will perfectly align to form a tight and professional-looking 90-degree corner.
