FINALLY someone showing beveled and mitered cuts. All these channels showing holding the piece upside down against the fence on a 12" tiny sample piece. Without a jig know how hard it is to keep a 10' piece on that fence for a good cut? Holding it flat and securing is 10x easier.
Preparation is the key. For a week in advance you should practice cussing and swearing so the words come easily when the cutting starts. Oh and buy 2 to 3 times as much crown molding as you need so you have sufficient to finish the job as you are going to find you have the perfect angle on the short stub and the wrong angle on the long piece. Then when you finally get the cuts right you will find the corner is 88.4 degrees and not ninety. Better still tell your wife that you don't think crown molding suits your house.
Wish I had found your video before the first 30 cuts, but I'm glad I did find it!
Thanks a ton for the angles. I know for normal carpenters the flat angles of an outside edge of crown are probably second nature, but to a DIY-er that's tough to figure out. You did it for me thank you!
For anyone needing to take the easiest notes. Just screenshot the angle he cuts and insert a text in that pic if it's for right inside or left inside. Or right outside/left outside. Makes it 1000Xs easier to just reflect back on screenshots with text to set my bevel/miter cuts. Thanks for the video! Very, extremely helpful and to the point
Absolutely the clearest and most helpful directions for crown moulding! Thank you for saving my sanity on this project!
Outstanding explanation on this topic - if you are using a compound miter saw, this video covers, in simple, easy to follow step-by-step how to do the inside and outside corners. I watched a number of videos and this is the easiest to follow. I made a small recap of the video to be able to quickly reference it in the future, along with the video.
Thank you. Laying large crown molding flat and doing a little math (that is already done for you) vs. the jackwagon finish carpenters trying to hold stock at 45 deg by hand is a game changer. Over and over they talk about the "simple" way. Simple way to become a cautionary tale.
This is one of the clearest and to the point video's I have seen yet on this subject. Was looking for "how to" for 4 1/2' molding laying flat for cuts. My saw does not have a tall enough fence. Thank you.
Thank you so much. My crown moulding cuts were all bad cuts and I was running out of material. I could not find out what I was doing wrong! I looked at over 20 TH-cam videos and nobody seem to explain the cut you just did. Thank you for explainining it and posting this video. Great help!!
Best DYI video I have ever watched. I am a once every 4-5 year crown molding guy andnusually forget everything. Made 8 cuts using his method of laying flat on saw and using compound miter saw with his recommended degrees of cut and bevel and all were 100% correct. Tips - clearly mark TOP then I use a digital laser tape measure so get very accurate measurements. Second you must visualize the left and right cuts in each inside or outside corner cut...he is not talking about the left and right end of the board. If you follow this thinking then you got it.
I have seen so many videos, and have always cut placing the crown on a 45 deg angle against the fence. This is so much more precise in my opinion. Thanks!
Thank you! By far the best video I’ve watched for crown molding. Was able to finish crown in our bathroom while husband was at work! I wrote shortcuts directly on my workbench to reference (and check twice) for each cut! Ex. RO- Bevel left 33.9 ,Miter Right 31.6, Top on Fence, Save Right!
This has truly saved me from a major headache. I knew there had to be another way to do it besides the common method everyone else is using. To me this is much simpler and easier. Thank you!!!
I don't do this very often so I appreciate the brush up on what I need to do with the miter saw!! Thank you! Well done video!
i’m very new to wood working and bought a compound sliding miter saw . my very first project was o make a new fireplace mantle. i didn’t have a jig to cut crown molding seated in place at the correct and decided to cut flat . your video helped me through my project. i have since made a jig to hold the crown molding in place on future projects. 😊
Hallelujah! Your clear and concise instructions were essential in helping me correctly cut my crown without having to buy a jig that I'll likely never use again. THANK YOU!
This is the first video I viewed which shows the alternative way to cut crown corners, i.e. laying boards flat. Knowing this (on my first project) would've saved me countless hours of trial and error trying to hold the crown in position using my relatively cheap mitre saw. I was ready to buy a new saw and jig for my new crown project till I learned this. Saved me $$, thanks!
This was perfect for what I was searching for. Thank you. So many others skipped the basics of how, where, and why to place the molding.
Thank you for this video...it is the one that finally helped me figure out how to cut inside corners on crown molding using the lay it flat method. Miter Right, Top @ Fence, and Miter Left, Bottom @ Fence, both with unchanged bevel. RT and BL. Awesome.
