On the sides of the rack (the 5 1/2" deep part) I want to add some 3/8" wide cove moulding. There will be two of these moildings, each about 37" high and 2 1/2" wide, stacked on top of one another. The cove moulding will be like "boxes", each about 37" high and 2 1/2" wide.
Question: How do I make the longer piece of moulding fit with the shorter piece? In other words, how do I miter or cope the pieces to fit each other?
Make sense?

Do you have a miter box and saw or a compound chop saw?
Pay attention to how the pieces go against the flat and you have to either duplicate that OR cut opposite so the pieces join correctly.
I HIGHLY suggest cutting the pieces extra,extra long to verify the fit before you end up with expensive kindling.
Oh, you will be getting quite creative with your use of the
universal adjective by the time you're done
