I need a little advice and assistance. I'm building a collar for a keezer which I'm putting together. The freezer is the GE 7.0 Cu. Ft. FCM7SHWW. I'm planning on using 2x6's for the collar. Now, I should note that while I'm handy in lots of ways around the house, woodworking isn't something I have any experience with. For this, I borrowed a friends compound miter saw, thinking I would miter this together, for a better looking collar. This is something I want to look nice and last for a very long time. Right now I'm sitting here and I'm honestly a little nervous about the wood cutting though. If I'm mitering it for the collar, do I actually need to do a beveled cut, or can I just sit the board on its side and do a straight down 45 miter cut? As I'm planning on using a nicer, more expensive wood, I can't really afford to screw this up. Do people think it's better to just make a butt joint for it?
Any help is incredibly appreciated.
