Rounded corners in door.

I'm putting in 3/4" rounded corners (bullnose) around the corners to a closet. how do you do the top right and left corners of the door? With 90 degree corners the vertical edge and the horizontal edge match up nicely when they meet, but with rounded edges they don't fit nicely, how do you get it to look good?

cut each corner piece at 45 degrees to form a 90 degree corner.

go to lowes or home depot and pick up a wooden miter box and a fine toothed saw. a moulding saw is called a backsaw. the miter box has a straight saw guide and two 45 degree saw guides. you place the moulding in the box and line up your mark on one of the 45 degree saw guides and then hold the moulding and use the saw in the guide and saw right through the moulding to the bottom until the moulding seperates. you'll have your miter cut. cut another one to meet the first cut but in a reverse direction and you will have made a 90 degree miter.

I found something called a bullnose 3/4 inside round cap. a peice of plastic fits to the corners of the door frame. cheaper than a miter box
