    There is a fair few ways mate. Lino is one of my weak points. Daz on here may be able to advice, he is one of the top trainers in the U.k on this type of thing. I will point out this post to him.

    I meant for getting the angles correct ie their is a tool on the "you tube" called the EZ MITER that looks fool proof,i cannot get it right without wasting a gracious amount of time, i find that as im getting on a bit these tools are great for ease of finish!.

    What i normally do is leave a slight overhang on the externa when you do your template and cut it by hand using the corner and cove as a guide using a sharp hot blade. works for me. ;)
