    Cutting polistyrene cornecces

    Busy upgrading the outside room to a gym.

    Even fitting cornesses and that is where the problems started. Tried cutting them free handed with a knife and that did not work.

    Then out came the saw I used initially to fit skiting boards and that did not work.

    Then I tried a hacksaw and the miter box, and that did not work either.

    Then I simply ground away the hacksaw teeth and sharpened it like a knife.

    Using the miter box I now produced repeatedly a clean and accurate cut.
