Has anyone done their own molding?

I need to put molding on the bottom, where the floor connects to the wall. I would like to try and do it myself. Does Home Depot or Lowes cut wood for you?

Buy a miter box. Stores will cut the wood but it will not be right and I doubt they will cut all of the angles you need.

You can do this yourself. Yes, HD and Lowe's cut for you, BUT they are not precise, so I would get an inexpensive mitre box and rent a saw from a tool supply and make the cuts yourself.
