This is a great tutorial, very impressed I want to order the same product with the mounting clips can anyone tell me where to order? thanks Appreciated
Now the reason I’m having you put the blue tape below the brackets is because you and your husband took 6 hours to hang two brackets. We don’t have all day and I doubt you guys will screw this one up
I am buying a new home and thinking of installing this type of crown molding up. I like how the molding clips to the brackets. I have been looking but so far unable to find this design. All the ones I see either tape or caulking. Do you have a manufactures name I can look up ? Thank you kindly.
🍃🕊👏🕊🍃 WHAT AN OWESOM PRODUCT!!!! The POPCORN CEILING IS ALMOST GONE, THIS FANTASTIC TECHNIQUE AND THE CONVENIENCE OF SAVING TIME AND MONEY IS NEXT! A HUGE THANK YOU!!!!! MR. SILVA, FOR THIS OUTSTANDING EXPLANATION AND JOB! BLESSINGS! 🍃🕊🍃
I think this is a solution without a problem. pressed wood molding isn't hard to work with and goes up in seconds. A solid miter saw and a tape measure and I can put crown molding in a house in an hour or two.
I got the molding at Home Depot, but I am having an issue with the finishing angle to come to a stop. I am installing this type on my kitchen cabinets. I am stopping short of a corner. Uggghhh....Any help would be appreciated.
The one he used is a Festool brand that is included with the Festool Kapex miter saw he was using. Amazon sells them for about $155. Starrett makes a nice miter saw protractor for about $120 cheaper.
it's a Festool sm-ks 120 bevel you can get a low tech simple one from Trend a anglefix mitre guide thats a lot cheaper so if some one drops it stands on it or someone with sticky fingers walks off with it you wont cry
Nice, Festool 1500.00 miter saw. Every homeowner DIYer will have one. That angle doohickey could be replaced by a starret angle divider. It automatically gives you the angle and the miter.

This foam crown molding system is targeted to the homeowner DYI market. It is really less than desirable for a professional installation. Foam is lightweight and stable but doesn't really allow for an ideal appearance such as coped corners and scarfed joints which lessen the chances of gaps developing over time due to movement. I always try to avoid egg & dart patterns since they are difficult to align, I prefer dental patterns.
petemclinc I couldn't agree more but even as a home owner my self I'll take wood every time I've used this stuff twice thinking it would look good and is half the price of real wood put like you said it was gaps galore specially around the windows and doors and in my opinion it's not as forgiving as wood is I do like the snap in idea but this is the first I've seen of it and doubt they have such a thing for door and window framing or corner pieces
It's so good to know that, despite the product filling a particular market niche, you would have none of it. And I'm relieved to learn of your dental pattern preference.e
Looks great when I installed it in my house. That being said, I had a few small gaps. I just used caulk and a sponge and the results looks professional. I’ve had nothing but compliments on the finished result.
My thinking is maybe the foam is stable but the house not so much. From my experience wood is the best, it expands and contracts the same as a wood framed house.
At 7:37 when he marks the underside of the molding, you need to then deduct half the pencil width. If you don't, the crown will "run long" by half a pencil width, likely throwing off the angle, and leaving a gap at the outside corner, and the last piece against the wall.
Wood vs foam no nail gun from nail gun nor hammer sits on base of ceiling didn’t know 3 dimensional figures could have helped nail puncher though...Hallelujah! Fence of wall cut it on saw, saw as ceiling to hide for caulking marks ceiling prep... cut vs compound mitor... same for 45 or other corner cuts it fastestbutton up like a tie for first timers. Tie trim base call it Texas! aching dart beader that’s your words boss. Upside down measure (explains inside video) 1/8 longer tight fits like a fraction chart. Caulked then wiped with clean rag! Molding register cutting for fits dummy cut for big eyes 1/8 marked, fraction tight for patent egg dart or art would work boss? What meets the eye is the egg and dart or art patent boss. Did you know the wilderness hello. Anybody know the Bible?

WTH whats wrong with the way we have did crown for years. All these brackets some using drywall mud wtf waaay to much work just shoot fill holes and paint.
I cringe at so many things these guys do. How will they ever get that register out if they needed to paint it or something along the lines of that. Foam moulding is nice in some situations, but why did they pick it for that situation? Lol we’ll never know. And they are obviously not skilled enough to work with a moulding with that advanced of a profile.
This is nice but I don't like the idea that you are installing Styrofoam. It is bad for the environment. It may look nice today but when the home owner or some one else purchases the house and wants/needs to change it the Styrofoam will end up in the landfill and from what I have heard is that it can't be recycled.
OMG! Then what are you going to do about every synthetic piece of close you wear, shoes you wear, phone you use, car you drive plastic you use. People that buy into stupidity and actually live their lives that way need regress and live in a cave
love all these people with their state of the art equipment. For once I'd like to see a video with Dads old saw, or a yard sale find.
You don't have a festool miter saw? Most homes have 3.
State of the art? It's a regular old miter saw... 🤣
Tom Silva for President
wow, you make this look so easy, I would no doubt have a total mess
HAHAHA!!
I like how they install the crown molding with the elaborate profile and yet have clam shell door casing
I'm more impressed with the blue tape trick .
I love this vid, so detailed, it just makes sense.
This is a great tutorial, very impressed
I want to order the same product with the mounting clips
can anyone tell me where to order?
thanks
Appreciated
No you don’t
Now the reason I’m having you put the blue tape below the brackets is because you and your husband took 6 hours to hang two brackets. We don’t have all day and I doubt you guys will screw this one up
HAHAHA!! You're cruel!
I love listening to Tommy at 1/4 speed.

Very nice cross angle
Caulking and paint for what the carpenter ain’t
The angle finder is a nice tools
Harrish Persad plenty of tools in this comment section
So...................Awesome……. Thank you very much. 🙏🙏🙏
love this stuff.. good video..
tom is the best
To quote Mr. Spock, "Fascinating."
this guy is the man
That looks great!
Did I miss it? Where can you buy this or who makes it?
bravo festool ,, now I want to buy that saw and gage lol
I think this is a solution without a problem. pressed wood molding isn't hard to work with and goes up in seconds. A solid miter saw and a tape measure and I can put crown molding in a house in an hour or two.
Could someone tell me where I can purchase this type of crown moulding in Canada?
I got the molding at Home Depot, but I am having an issue with the finishing angle to come to a stop. I am installing this type on my kitchen cabinets. I am stopping short of a corner. Uggghhh....Any help would be appreciated.
There's a mitre template *(about the size of a toaster).. you can use it and a fine hand saw
Yeah that definitely came out nice.
What in the star wars lazer-shooting-angle-making cut machine is that?
He just put the molding right over the air vent? Lmao. Some real craftsmanship right there.
Why wasn’t a coped joint needed on the inside corners like you normally do?
Because he used the angle tool to find the exact corner angle and the foam material is not at risk of shrinking over time
If you wanted to cope this you probably could with a hot wire
What's the drawback on the long run ? There has to be something ?
Thanks
What if you need to remove the vent?
Ikr? That's what I was thinking! So I guess you simply tear out the crown molding and remove the vent?
how do you cut angles different than 45 degree without a fancy table power saw?
Very very nice
Nice job. 😸😸😸😸
Where di u buy this??? How do thet answer us
The foam how long do they last before it deteriorate? I have no budget for real wood 😆
If a Festool cordless drill is $600+, I am afraid to Google the price of their compound miter saw...
I'm gonna guess $1200 before I Google.
Edit: I was off by a little bit. $1475.
Professional......
does any one what brand of angle gauge was used in this video and where it can be purchased
The one he used is a Festool brand that is included with the Festool Kapex miter saw he was using. Amazon sells them for about $155. Starrett makes a nice miter saw protractor for about $120 cheaper.
Looks good. Hopefully by now they got rid of that ugly door casing.
Hey Tom where did you get that chop box? (Brand) nice crown stops!
Festool
Where can you get the clips to hang the crown molding??
It comes with the crown molding. It only works with that specific brand.
Nevets which brand is that?
Not too bad looking for a clip on job
Should have put corner mirror at a beginning/ending of the pattern. Nbd though.
What is the name of the manufacturer of this product? Where can I buy it? This is such a great idea!!! I love Tommy Silva, so much knowledge!!
Thomas Rolland it’s by focal point products. www.focalpointproducts.com/
and if you need to remove that vent for any reason ??
just thinking the same thing
Remove the screws and slide it down?
Just sell the house and move?
is that clips in home depot???
where to buy foam crown molding at?
boyle heights home depot
Right behind that preposition.
It’s on focal point products website www.focalpointproducts.com/

What tool is that he is using for the angle?
This is part of the Festool miter saw :)
it's a Festool sm-ks 120 bevel you can get a low tech simple one from Trend a anglefix mitre guide thats a lot cheaper so if some one drops it stands on it or someone with sticky fingers walks off with it you wont cry
Thanh Ha speed square
Nice, Festool 1500.00 miter saw. Every homeowner DIYer will have one. That angle doohickey could be replaced by a starret angle divider. It automatically gives you the angle and the miter.
What blade are we using to cut foam?
I know this comment is 6 years old but probably just a regular finish blade.
Does anyone know where the angle gauge used in this video can be purchased?
i think its from festool
It comes with the miter saw he used. It's called the Festool Kapex. About $1500 US
Watching her try to use that screw gun reminds me of the apprentices at work 🤦♂️
Festool endorsement and $1500 Kapex saw will cut that foam better than and DeWalt “12” slider

Lady knows better than her husband
Love how everyone is shitting on the miter like it’s the only one that exists. You can get other miters new for 1/3 the price, or used for even less.
Where do you buy this crown?

I love how this chick took so long the screw one screw that they needed a jump cut. Don’t need no man vibes.

Underrated comment. F
I don’t think you can do better than to have Tom Silva come to your house and run a project.
Tom should be magician so he can full more people
pretty painful watching her screw that clip in. my god woman, screw
LOL!! I had the same feeling!
At 1:30 tape measure with mm on it, in the kingdom of inches!!!!!!!!!
This stuff does shrink, leaving gaps of 1/4 inch and more! I can’t understand why! Maybe it has wood filler? But that doesn’t make sense either…
Other sites say it’s cleaner tocaulj ghecorners thanfptcr it jubbbbj
wow tommy. what you did with that vent there was not cool bud. That's the first time I've ever seen you mess up, Love you anyways
It would be good if they used some normal tools and not Festool. Most people watching this wont have access to such nice tools.
They did. They used a DeWalt drill to put the clips up. Tommy didn't use his Festool CXS like he does in every other episode.

" Glad i could help " now pay up !!! $8 linear feet + teaching + caulking - cutting inside and making a mess = $600+TAXES .
But...but...but...now we are on TV and all our friends will think we're cool...worth every cent.
Pretty cheap I’d think it’d cost a lot more.
Never use Philips head screws JS ffs

2 👍👍 ^
it is foam so im sure almost any blade would do.
I’ve used this and cut it with a handsaw and by just scoring it with a utility knife then snapping it.
WTH whats wrong with the way we have did crown for years. All these brackets some using drywall mud wtf waaay to much work just shoot fill holes and paint.
hope u don't hit a water line
In the ceiling of a room that has no plumbing? Highly unlikely.
I don't Like It.
Something about using Foam I Guess.
Crap! Perfect for your "mobile" home.
So hard watching her drive a screw 🤦♂️. They coulda at least given her a shorter screw!
That's cheating.🤣

Foam? Garbage, stay with solid wood.
This stuff actually looks really good. It’s polyurethane.
two screw holes drilled every 12"?????? BULLSHIT ! A living room, 12ft. X 16ft. Due the math !
Due the math? It’s 56, but add 4 more, trust me. Pro tip, use a cordless drill, not a screwdriver.
It’s a SAW. there is absolutely no R in saw so pronounce it the right way. It’s a saw not a SAWR
foam molding.....PUKE
It’s a high-density polyurethane.
This is nice but I don't like the idea that you are installing Styrofoam. It is bad for the environment.
