Some years and many old buildings later I had begun to appreciate the true value of the bead as an architectural element with both form and function. We used it on casing, baseboard, bead board, everything. After a couple of years I was tired of seeing the bead everywhere. Even the new projects were in a similar aesthetic and without fail there would be a bead present in some fashion, mostly as beaded casing. If needed I can then go and adjust the angle a few times, buy only a fraction of a degree each time, and not cut the piece too short.I began my carpentry career with a company that did mostly historic restoration. The main thing is just taking your time and being willing to cut the piece more than once. Most of the time, joint compound, and the metal corner bead will make the outside corner a little out of square. Outside corners are usually cut at a 46 degree angle. If the top of a inside corner is open, you need to cut a little rock out, if the bottom is open you need to shim the first piece of trim a bit. I normally cut several pieces of trim and 'dry fit' them before nailing anything. The best way to get your corners tight on the inside is cutting a bit of the Sheetrock away so the trim piece is not tipped at all. This will help keep the top of the trim tight against the Sheetrock, as most of the time there is a little extra joint compound in the corners at the bottom. I normally cut the first piece at a slight angle (2-3 degrees) so the top is longer than the bottom.
