This is the most perfect explanation about how to cut crown molding in thousands of videos on TH-cam, Finally I found this video thank you this is the best.
OH MY GOSH. No life story. No what's my why. No explanation about the origin of mitre cuts or the various tools to use. Just straight to the point AND in easy to follow and understand language in less than 6 minutes. I honestly can't thank you enough. 🙌🏾
This lady knows how to teach. All the other videos start with "this is how you do it" but never go into sufficient detail why, and never explain all the different ways things can go wrong. Lea does all those things. Thank you
A few weeks ago I was so frustrated trying to learn this while doing some work on my kitchen that I gave up and decided to order pre cut corners that didn’t look good at all and I ended up wasting my money. Thanks god that I found your video and all of the sudden everything makes sense. Thanks a lot for your help.
Of all the videos I watched, yours was the best because you SHOWED US why we are flipping the molding around. When you marked the trim with a sharpie, slowly moved it to the miter saw, we could see the problem and when you flipped it around - the solution made sense. I was using a small cove molding that had no top or bottom. It was an identical 3/4" on both edges. That was making it especially difficult for me to follow other instructions about turning it upside down, etc. Once I watched your video and understood *why* - I was immediately able to configure my cuts. I subscribed to your channel right away THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video. 🙂
Leah, Kudos to you making corner crown molding cuts so easy! Love the tip about the "spring angle"and how crown molding doesn't just rest flush on the wall but rests on the ceiling AND the wall! And extremely important for a beginner/ DIYer! I was trying to practice cuts with paper and cardboard and couldn't figure out why it did not fit on the wall. Crown molding comes with a 45° angle that rest on the ceiling🥺
Thank you Lisa. I am a 20 plus year roofing veteran and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Your explaination was perfect. It was so easy. Subbed. Thanks again.
I couldn't believe it! After watching so many videos on this subject, you have nailed it. I finally did it after watching your video. Thanks so much. I was about to give up and call a professional but now, not happening. I got a handle on it with your straight forward explanation. Again, thanks.
Thank you so much Leah, for your patient speaking explanations. Too many people offering tutorials forget not everyone knows even a fraction of what he/she knows. But, we want to know. No matter what the project is I am attempting to tackle, I always end up at one of your tutorials. No one else takes the time to use words and visuals to make your instructions understandable. Many videos leave me still scratching my head, because I learn visually, not just by words. Once I "see it," then I can insert the words, to complete the picture in my head (i.e. spring angle/resting against the fence). I then believe yes, I "can do this." 2 years ago, Bradley Jellerichs perfectly expressed my sentiment. You are a great teacher.
Thank you, Thank you, so much !!!!! I can't believe how much I have spent on crown molding because I didn't know how to cut it. This was so simple and you don't have to go through making a jig to cut the molding the right way. You made everything so easy and practical. This just cleared up everything I have been doing wrong so a BIG THANK YOU !!!!! 😃 You are AWESOME !!!!!!
You are my Hero!!!!! This video was perfect. I followed it exactly and it worked out perfectly. My first crown miter cuts were professional level. I watched a ton of videos and yours was by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you!! Thank you!!
I watched plenty of videos before yours and after doing so I went to work!! Thank YOU!! You explained simply without going on and on and complicating things like many other videos. YOU ROCK!!
Spent one comical evening trying to figure out how to put up molding around a bookcase...and then watched your video and it all meant sense. Your specific language sets you apart from everyone else. Thank you!
I watched 4 other videos on how to cut a outside corner on crown molding, they all went too fast and even after watching the videos I was still unsure of how to do it. I wish I had watched yours first. This was by far the best explanation of how to cut crown molding. THANKS!!
I could NOT have done it without your patient explanation! I built in a bookcase floor to ceiling and the outside joint with the crown molding is the best part!
Thank you. I have a miter box and saw. I had to reverse my crown molding err turn it over and adjust the pegs but after trying cuts on a sample of crown molding I got it down. I gotta put 3 pieces on a linen closet and buying a saw or a contractor is out of the question for now. You’re easy to follow and understand. Outstanding !!
Newbie here Ive been doing this work for a couple days now at my house and IDK if I may have molding dyslexia or what but damn, remembering both angles every time has been tough. TBH I dont think this video will help me improve but its certainly helped me feel better about how Ive been struggling. Thank you! That was clear and concise, and fast.
Hi Leah, you are Amazing. I have been doing honeydew projects for over 45 years and you are still teaching me things. Your video on sawhorses just blew me away. So simple yet strong, stackable. I have been looking at sawhorse designs in books and all are too complicated. You have a very nice way of teaching, explaining everything so we understand what you are doing. Just watched crown molding video and again so simple. You are fantastic. Thank You, please don't stop. Mark
THANK YOU !!!!! You just made my wife’s birthday complete. After watching this video two times, I was able to tackle the job. You made it sound so simple, thanks again !!!
I rarely comment, but I wanted to say thank you Leah! Your videos have helped and taught me SO much. And you're excellent at anticipating areas of confusion and misunderstanding and explaining them! Keep it up!! You are truly appreciated!!
Leah! Thank you! I now feel confident that we can do this! I will probably re-watch the turning the moulding upside down part of this video before every cut to be sure I'm doing it right....
Leah, I am a construction technologist, and I am thrilled by exploring and finding out quicker and efficient ways to get the job done while delivering optimal quality. I must when it comes to instructional and getting procedures accurately you are right up there with all the top tier. Thanks a million keep on doing an exceptional job.
One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on cutting crown molding. I could not get my second piece of an outside corner cut correctly. My first piece was a scrap from a previous cut that happened to have the correct angle. Thanks
You are a Godsend! I've watched a dozen videos and jacked up a 8ft piece of moulding. Watched this then went and cut my pieces without a single issue! Thank you again!
Leah you ROCK!! My husband's and my brains nearly exploded trying to figure this out and we just barely stumbled our way through it...after wasting tons of wood and time. If only we had had this video then!! Thank you for tackling SUCH a confusing problem and for explaining it so clearly.
+Alexandra Gill Hi Alexandra, I appreciate your comments, because that is what I was trying to achieve...take a complicated process and simplify it for the layperson.
Thank God for your videos! I've been doing a lot of this type of thing for the first time and your explanations have made EVERyTHING so much easier for me. Thank you for making all of these great videos.
Leah, I swear I love everything about you, your encouragement, your enthusiasm, you’re expertise. Thank you for empowering me. Why can’t I do this? I can!!!
Dave from the UK, like most comments, at last you've broken the voodoo for cutting mitres. Someone, who not only knows how to do it, but knows how to pass on the knowledge. Keep up the good work girl, to you wood be teachers watch and learn.
I am soooooo glad you made this video!!!! Most comprehensive thing I've seen for a newbie. I just wasted a $10 strip of molding because I couldn't figure out how the heck to do this! You're my saving grace today ❤️ ❤️❤️
Thank you, combined with other videos this has given me so much direction. You have answered so many questions, the other videos left me asking. When you said from beginners, you meant it. So many people forget to start from the ABC of a skill. KUDOS.
Wonderful ! God bless you, I tried to figure this out alone and wasted quite a bit of materials. I became very good after watching you videos. Im going to crown Mold my house now haha !
As always another great how to video explaining in easy steps. Have crown moulding to fit to kitchen cupboards and this has made the task less daunting. Thanks very much!
I've never had to do angles etc in my old job, yet my new job I had to cut and join some crown moulding (8 metres up a ladder!) and had MAJOR dramas trying to work out why I was doing it wrong (lucky I had a lot of spare moulding!) I came here to learn more, and other videos make sense ofcourse, but its the way you explain it made it sink in to me. Thanks Leah
Leah, you are great! You saved me from a huge mistake with my crown molding! I was about to try making my cuts with a coping saw! Thanks for the detailed instructions. I cut them by handsaw and your instruction to flip it over for the cuts was perfect! God bless you!
Leah... you have seriously become my DIY Home Improvement go to... Thank you so much for your videos. They are amazing!! I am such a visual learner and you not only show how but you show the logic behind it. I'm putting molding above some IKEA bookshelves that I'm trying to spruce up and turn into built ins. This video did the trick!
Oh my goodness!! 5 videos and I find someone who can do the cut with one try. Finally!! I knew it could be done but I just couldn’t focus due to a 4 day migraine. Thank you!!!
Wished i had watched this video about an hour ago. Now it's back to the big box store for more molding to replace the stuff I messed up. Thanks Leah another excellent lesson
Watched a bazillion videos trying to understand WHY the moulding has to flipped upside-down. None of them managed to explain this in an understandable way or simply ignored the fact. The sequence starting at 3:00 does it perfectly!
I do a lot of finish work and the main obstacle for me has been crown molding, I have studied multiple videos and I have to say your video has helped more than any other I have watched, you walk through the process in a way that anybody can understand and learn to do better. Anyways Thankyou for posting this.
I have 4 6x6 gate posts that i originally wanted to install post caps on. They are either hard to find, expensive, or shoddy. I'm improvising and going to install some crown moulding on top. I've done this before, and it was a mess.....i wish i'd had your video then. I didn't, but I do now, and I can't wait to get started. Great video! Thank you.
Leah, I can not thank you enough for all your tutorials! I have learned so much from your very specific easily understandable directions. Again, thank you!

I'm nervous about cutting my pieces but your video has given me hope! Thank you lol
little practice with a scrap piece of molding ;)
Thank you, combined with other videos this has given me so much direction. You have answered so many questions, the other videos left me asking. When you said from beginners, you meant it. So many people forget to start from the ABC of a skill. KUDOS.
Wonderful ! God bless you, I tried to figure this out alone and wasted quite a bit of materials. I became very good after watching you videos. Im going to crown Mold my house now haha !
I used your steps and made perfect corners. this was a great help. I did have to watch a few times to make sure I had it down.
Keep up the hints!
You did it...way to go!
As always another great how to video explaining in easy steps. Have crown moulding to fit to kitchen cupboards and this has made the task less daunting. Thanks very much!
you're very welcome!
Thank you for this informative video. Everyone says upside down and backwards but you took the time to explain the reason.

Hello this is Derick. Thanks so much for this. You make it so so easy to understand. I have learned a lot from you.
Leah,I love how you simplify things. Your a great teacher and I love your positive energy! ❤
Leah, you are great! You saved me from a huge mistake with my crown molding! I was about to try making my cuts with a coping saw! Thanks for the detailed instructions. I cut them by handsaw and your instruction to flip it over for the cuts was perfect! God bless you!
you're welcome, Gary, and thanks! I'm glad to have been of help. :)
You made it look so easy - out to the garage to cut my outside corner on my wall cabinets!!! Thanks!

I wanted to add crown molding to the top of a hall tree I was building. This explained it perfectly! Thank you
Fantastic vid!! Great teaching! Crown moulding is an absolute nightmare lol but watch this a couple times and it becomes SO much simpler!!
Oh my goodness!! 5 videos and I find someone who can do the cut with one try. Finally!! I knew it could be done but I just couldn’t focus due to a 4 day migraine. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Love the way you speak - something about it makes this sound so clear and easy to understand. Subbed
Seriously, the best explanation of this I have ever seen.
🙂
Wish I saw your video last weekend. Would have saved me 1 hour and 4 board feet of wasted material. Great video !
Thank you so much for your help! I'm a fairly decent DIYer, but I always always have butchered crown molding! This tutorial helped tremendously!
Wished i had watched this video about an hour ago. Now it's back to the big box store for more molding to replace the stuff I messed up. Thanks Leah another excellent lesson

Reference line was everything I needed to simplify the solution! Thank you❤
Brilliant, you have done it again. No one explains things better than you do.
+Linda Marsden thank you, Linda, that is very nice of you to say!
Thank you for this video! Because of you my boss let me try my hand at crown molding yesterday and was really impressed!
you are an excellent instructor. probably could work as a science teacher in school, but then we would not have great videos on home remodeling.
thanks :)
I couldn't agree more!! Excellent teacher!!
I was about to cry. Thank you so much for the explanation.
Been working on my cuts for an hour and took me 2 seconds after watching the video. Awesome tutorial!
Best best best crown molding tutorial yet. Going to surprise my hubby by finishing out built ins befor he gets home!
That's great, Jennifer, good luck with your project!
Easy simple explanation. I always wondered why you had to turn it upside down. Thanks!
Love your patience and encouragement! I hope that you're doing well.
Best video out there for outside crown moulding corner cuts !!!
Leah, Thank you for this informational video and it really helps to show each step and the issues to be aware of for each cut.
I think you may have logically convinced me I can do this. I will find out tomorrow morning. Thanks!
Did u do it
Did you ??
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thank you , your lesson makes it easier to understand home improvements
Ms. Leah, thank you!! Excellent explanation and encouragement!
Thank you a million, billion times!!! You rock like a super rocking rocker pro rocker extraordinaire! This was turning my mind into a pretzel!
Watched a bazillion videos trying to understand WHY the moulding has to flipped upside-down. None of them managed to explain this in an understandable way or simply ignored the fact. The sequence starting at 3:00 does it perfectly!
Literally the best at diy on TH-cam.

Thank you I’m having a hard time in my room that I gave up months ago. I will try your advice and see how it goes. Thank you

This home slice handyman needs this trick and was so perplexed!!! Saved the day good woman!
You saved me a knot in my brain. Thank you!
Love your teachings, you are a natural teacher. Thank you very much
The best explanation yet. I always messed up crown. Thank you Leah
Do you have a video on inside crown molding?
Awesome video. Thanks a lot, Jane.
I have 4 6x6 gate posts that i originally wanted to install post caps on. They are either hard to find, expensive, or shoddy. I'm improvising and going to install some crown moulding on top. I've done this before, and it was a mess.....i wish i'd had your video then. I didn't, but I do now, and I can't wait to get started. Great video! Thank you.
Leah, I can not thank you enough for all your tutorials! I have learned so much from your very specific easily understandable directions. Again, thank you!
