Angles for ceiling moulding...?

we our having a complicated time figuring out the angle to cut our crown moulding

when we cut it one angle the ends lines up unblemished until we put it up against the ceiling then it doesn't column up anymore, caz the crown is in a tilt position when stuck up

so any clue what angles we hold to use for each piece to clash up?

the room is square plain jane nothing fancy

We are using a miterbox and saw. We don't enjoy a compound miter saw.


Answers:    Rockler makes a crown molding jig for $20 that take all the guess work and headache out of cutting crown molding. It's the best $20 I ever spent for molding. Crown molding is one of the most difficult joinery projects there is. Here is the website for the jig:

Good luck
I've see a cool way to do molding minus cutting angles. If you put a small block of wood surrounded by each corner and but the molding up to it the result is a finished look that looks great. Of course you will enjoy to stain the blocks but its so simple and looks so good.
