Default Need help with carpentry...

I built a "rattle can" paint holder in the workshop, and I want to dress it up a bit. The rack is about 80" tall, 15" wide (holds 5 cans on each rack), and 5 1/2" deep; the racks holding the cans are slanted down at the rear about 15 degrees to help hold the cans in place.

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?

So are you adding essentially picture frame boxes to the sides almost like wainscoting

Pretty much, but picture frame boxes are an easy 45 degree cut. Cove moulding is another animal.

Start with this...which one of these will be longer....

The cove moulding will be like "boxes", each about 37" high and 2 1/2" wide.

Probably involves math, but I can't visualize the arrangement.

EDIT: 3/8" is some pretty small cove molding.

so you want to put crown molding on your paint cabinet? basically.

my approach to such problems is to think of a solution i know the answer to, thus dispensing with wasting a day, and a pile of lumber, learning every way NOT to do it correctly.

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

Square cut the molding and use plinth blocks at the corners.

My dad would use a coping saw and do it by hand when he did such things. Me, I gotta call the man since I am a no-talent assclown.
