Wall cap mitre at stair descent

Hi Peter,
I do like the binaries news groups, and yes, the providers are either
offered by your own internet connection (maybe) or like I do, use News Guy.
Anyway, I trade many photo's in photo groups and do enjoy the woodworking
news group.....all pictures and text....

Google: "compound miter"
That's a miter that is also beveled, and that is what you need to do
to make it fit right.
