I mitered some fascia boards today. Got it right the first time! Compound miter on the corner fit perfectly with no gaps.

Some of those compound miters still throw my head through a loop. The one that really gets me way too often is connecting quarter round on the runner of longer staircases. Somehow dealing with something that's around a 45 degree angle instead of flat just throws me off way too much. I need to practice more.
The hardest one was an 11:12 so it's much harder to visualize which side to cut compared to a shallower pitch. My saw can do up to 50 degrees and I made some cuts at 42.5 and some at 47.5. LOTS of pencil marks haha
