My Dad died, but videos like this honestly feel like i have internet dads that help me with my projects, its really comforting to know even though i missed out on a lot, i can still get fun, useful lessons from a cool dude who knows his stuff. Thanks.
Our pleasure Rebecca and thx for the comment 👊 much appreciated 👍
I remember years ago my wife wanted crown in our kitchen. I didn't know much about home improvement, but we had a book that listed steps for most common improvement tasks like crown installation.
Each entry in the book had a 'difficulty rating', scored from 1 to 5. I remember crown was listed at 4.5 - very high difficulty. I thought, "what could be so hard about crown installation?" I didn't even own a miter saw, just a miter block and a hand saw.
I am proud to say that after 4 weekends of work, I had zero crown installed and my marriage was almost at an end. I smartened up and hired a carpenter who did a far better job than i ever could have done, and in only a few hours time.
Lmao that's great
Lol yup the more you do reno the more you realize just how good and fast the pros are. And they have every tool. DIY is highly over rated for anything other than the joy of doing it yourself.
sounds exactly like our household. a common response i alwys give my wife is "sure i'll do it, but it will probbaly look like i did it..." i do encourage everyone to get in diy though, as it only gets better with practice, you just have to make that decision on which piece you want to look like practice... lol
As a master carpenter ( in the business for 40+ years) I have had to do "marriage consoling" many times four same situation.
@@presidentresident Except when it comes time to pay the bill! lol
Love your carpentry skills! Been a carpenter for 50 years and you have impressed me. Thanks for sharing!
Great tips...for a more professional look instead of 3 1/16 reveal front of the cabinet use 7/8 as it will bring your crown out and line up with the front of the top of the doors. looks so much better!
Yes 7/8” works great!
I like the fact your passing on your talent to your son, I have been doing the same for my son.
In time they even teach us some easier ways to achieve things faster with same results!
Peace to you and your family!
and sharpen his blade
Thanks for that tip
I spray the activator on the dry side, are you spraying your glue bead?
P
Amazing crown. But you know something I appreciate more than this tip? The respect that man has for his Dad. Well done sir. Thats worth more than any lottery. Appreciate all your videos
Another great video! I am a licensed GC and have over 40 years of construction experience, but I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Excellent job! I love the system that you came up.
BTW, you can use a pin nailer and you won't have to fill nail holes in the molding. Most of the professional cabinet installers I have subcontracted to use pin nailers and glue on crown molding and the cabinet trim. In some cases, with larger trim, they will us a full size finish nail like you did.
I love , love, love this. I have to put crown up on my own cabinets and I will be doing this method. I'm glad I haven't done them yet and now I have your system to do it. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm never disappointed watching your videos. I have to admit that's a clever trick, I've seen it used on an old wardrobe piece of furniture we had in our home before but never put 2 and 2 together. I've been doing a whole house remodel due to flood damge on a 60 year old house, and I have to say, y'all have given me the spark to tackle most of this project through all facets of construction. I'm currently at the trim stage 9 months later, so this is a pretty useful idea for my cabinet installation that I'll be undertaking next week.
Block layer is a great site, I use it mostly for rafters. I didn’t know it had a tool for crown moulding, that’s a great tip. I’ll have to give it a more thorough look at some point.
Great video! Love the nailer trick. To get rid of the chipping in your miters you need to throw a finish blade on that miter saw. Makes the painters job that much easier and makes you look that much better. Love your videos keep it up!
I gotta do a kitchen install this winter and I am so glad for this video! It takes the intimidating job of doing the crown and makes it simple! Thank you guys so much!!! Great job!
I've done cabinet installation for 30 years. This is the best tip ever. I have my kids crown job in front of me. Will use this without a doubt. Thank you thank you!
Great video, this technique is beautiful. I install cabinets for a living. All this time I’ve been doing it the hard way.Installing my riser/nale strip and then cutting the crown to fit,on a ladder. Leaving the nail strip flat, bumping it out using it as a detail, form and function simply genius.
Great video. Crown has always been intimidating for me. I’ve done several ceiling crown jobs but only 2 sets of cabinets I fumbled my way through but next time I will be prepared to have a much smoother install. Beautiful work brother. Looks like you run a tight ship. I recently went on my own out of necessity my family keeps growing and so do the bills. Thanks for the free lesson it will definitely be something I will retain and help to give my family the financial freedom they deserve.
That method Rocks!!!
Allows me to do all the crown molding for cabinets in my shop. Then it’s a quick install. Thank you for sharing.
I just stumbled onto this video. I'm glad I did. I've wanted to do crown in my kitchen but thought it was beyond me. This method looks awesome, and easy to follow.
Wow! 30 yrs never cross my mind never cease to learn to be amazed. Love it
I have watched quite a few crown molding videos in the past having never attempted it yet and this is by far the most concise and easy to understand . Thank you very much thumbs up
Absolutely awesome way to install cabinet crown molding! I cannot think of a better way.
Speed explanation .... 13 minutes and 50 seconds of pure knowledge and didn't even take a breath. impressive!!!!!! great vids guys
I had to pause it quickly as I just spit out my coffee when Paul literally said “binocular Bob’s” lololololololololololol ❤️
😂👊
Me too!!
I got a laugh out of the sound effects when he was acting like the two pieces of wood were nunchucks haha
I've been doing these things for over 20 years and this is no doubt one of my favorite channels. I know many of these things already but I love watching your video's because I'm always finding new and different ways to do things. Remember, there is always many different ways to do these things and the more tricks and techniques that you know the better your work will be
Much appreciated Jeff 💪👊
You guys do great work and are always dishing out great techniques. Your camera operator is one lucky dude to be able to learn all this stuff from you. He'll be an absolute mega pro. I really appreciate your on-camera personalities too. Thanks!
Great method for putting crown on cabinets and the crown lines matching!!!👌 Thank you for sharing your idea.
Love your videos! This one showing the miter angles for cutting! Omg I’m 54 years old and never knew that! No wonder the few times we’ve cut crown it was hard to get right!! Brilliant and love this prefab method! I will be a regular watching your videos! Thanks!!
Yours is the first video I saw when looking up how to add crown to existing cabinets. It is also the last video I'm going to watch - no need to look further. THANK YOU for such a great video and method!!
Thanks for showing us all the ins and outs , for doing crown molding and cabinets 👍
I love this technique and we used it many years ago on high-end residential as well as commercial applications while installing at the embassies in DC. The only downside to this particular job is the material. But we all know that the budget is simply the budget and we must work within the client’s means. I’ve had occasional problems with swelling and a little bit of delaminating when prepping and painting those joints. Eventually we mess a few up and figure it out though and when done right you can’t even tell that you’re looking at MDF. Great job guys!
Y’all are phenomenal! I make furniture and always love to see great craftsmanship like you demonstrated!
I always install a small piece of scribe along the top of the side of the cabinet to raise it up to the same hight of the face frame. I definitely like this method as well.
Love the idea of being able to remove easily from inside the cabinet. Job well done!!
Very nice and also gives you the option of making it even more sturdy with the addition of the other blocks. Love it
I’m New England we use a 2 part crown in most kitchens. One is 1x4 stock the same color as cabs/crown that gets nailed into the oak nailers that come with the cabs. The second is the actual crown that you set on the 1x because most people here want their crown to go up to the ceiling.
I have done kitchens with the 1x where the customers ceiling was so off level that it was best to leave a gap and I have done some (but few) kitchens where they only want the crown. I personally really like the look of 1x then the crown all the way up to the ceiling. It also eliminates the dust and other gross dust that accumulates above top cabinets.
Wow! I wish I had this tutorial years ago! Paul you sure help simplify putting up crown molding. Considering how expensive it is, your tutorials are golden & money savers!!
It is always a good day when Studpack puts out a new video!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you, thank you! I used this method on my last kitchen, absolutely wonderful. Crown molding was always difficult for me this method is so much easier and better and looks wonderful!
Thank you so much for this video and other videos you make! I’am getting ready to paint my cabinets. I wanted to get crown installed on my cabinets! I love this method! I will definitely be installing the crown myself!
I'm getting ready to put some up on my cabinets in my new house and I will definitely be using this method. Thanks for the video you earned a new subscriber today 😎
Brilliant- love this!!! I am going to do my plain boring wardrobes now - with confidence- thank you very much!
This was a great video. You answered my question at the very end, which was why put it up there before you fill, sand and paint? Since you made it modular, you should surely be putting a perfect finished piece up at the end.
Thanks for your videos. I started replacing my baseboard and it looks awesome. I'll probably add crown to the cabinets as well. Thanks!
I love these videos! Making me feel brave enough to try my hand at remodeling my kitchen. thank you for what you do!
Just gave your technique a try and it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing an awesome tip!!
This method is good. I’m a big fan of pre assembling on certain trim projects, and this one works good
Lifesaver!!! The perfect upgrade to my standard cabinets❤️
I was a helper installing cabinets, for commercial jobs, for about 1/2 a year and only in 1 job did we have crown. I wish we had known this method. Thanks for sharing.
Great tip guys man I used to struggle with crown molding due to not enough room between the cabinets and the ceiling and now I have a new method thank you so much guys you guys are the best God bless you guys keep recording so I can keep watching and I'm going to keep watching so I can keep learning and making that 🤑🤑🤑
Carpenter for 45 years. Thank you. Very smart. :) I'm gunna use this !!!
Excellent and informative video as per usual. I will be hanging cabinets that look almost identical to those and this will make the crown job so much easier! Thanks!
Great video Paul I used this technique today and it worked fantastic. I watch all your videos. You guys are great!
Wow you made it look so easy. I been thinking of putting crown molding in my cabinets for a while in now with this method I will definitely will be doing some time next month. Thank for sharing.
OMG!!! I am sooooo doing this on my kitchen remodel. Thanks fellas!
Very timely. We are doing this on our cabinets and this will really speed things up for us. Wow, great video.
I used to devour Holmes on homes back in the day. You're that guy for me now. Amazing work Amazing channel
Absolutely great video, I have watched it so many times and each time I gain more confidence as I prepare myself to install my crown molding, Stud Pack, you are the BEST
Definitely gonna use this method to add crown to my furniture pieces from now on! Thanks gentlemen!

You are a good teacher. I like the way you explain step by step what you do and the reason why you do it. your videos have helped me a lot and I have learned a lot, thank you very much.
Another fantastic video thanks studpack God bless you and y'all's family
Where have you been all my DIY-er life?! :) You my friend just solved my 1.5 year long ridiculously complicated cabinet crown madness!!! Thank you, will be back for more!
This is one of the best diy tips I have run across. Thank you
You did it again, solved a problem I've been procrastinating on. Thank you.
This was a phenomenal video! Thank you so much for this wonderful Contin an extremely wonderful explanation and demonstration! I really loved and appreciate how you were so thorough with educating and walking us through the steps. This is gonna be so helpful for when I work on my kitchen! This is got to be the only miter crown molding video on UA-cam that’s actually worth watching! Because it was so thorough and educational and you just explained everything so well so I didn’t have any questions that were left on answered like I get in most videos. You covered everything! Thank you!!
Wooo.!!
Thanks for share your skills...
Awesome...
I'd have never thought to do it this way. You are a genius!
Excellent, I really appreciate your help and professionalism, God bless you.
Just wonderful content. Love your channel. You are both so respectful and kind to each other - shows great parenting and a great kid.
Much appreciated Rich 👊👍
Nice to see you thinking things out, not just throwing things together. That is where the money and reputation is earned.
If only I'd seen this two years ago when I did the crown molding on the kitchen cabinets. Ugh, all the wasted time and material, and eventually the wife hired a handyman while I was on a business trip. Couldn't blame her, really. But when I finish our bookcases in our office I'll do this and it's going to look great. I'm subscribed now.
It's 9:00 p.m.! I can't wait to tomorrow to try this. I've been fooling around like an idiot not being patient and wasting prepainted moulding. Thanx so much Mr. Stud Pack! I have two outside corners and then one inside corner. I hope I can make that inside corner cut.
I'll be installing cabinets and crown in my new kitchen later this year. I will definitely be using your tips! Thanks.
Thank you for a simple and effective method! You're the best.
Great video guys!
Some other options available to combat the ear:
If you are buying new cabinets, some manufacturers offer a finished side without the ear.
A piece of same colored paneling left over (usually left over from the island) can be ripped down and glued and pin nailed on side.
If it is a standard door, run a piece of same colored scribe molding from behind the ear to the back of the cabinet and wrap the crown around that.
Love to watch you guys work. Keep it up!
This is an awesome idea and I'll be using it for my future projects!
Your video has gained my confidence in doing this in my kitchen. Very sweet way to overcome the nightmare.
Paul - another clearly explained and useful video. Thank you so much. You are top notch.
Great idea guys. Love how it’s modular.. Another option if you have room above the doors is to put a piece of scribe on the sides. To make up the difference of the face frame.
We put scribe up as well, quick and easy. Also cheaper than having to buy material for nailer.
I gotta tell you one of the better videos on crown molding I look around and find some that are really helpful but they’re helpful to people who know how to do it already this is one of the better ones for people who come to the table with no knowledge at all nice job the nailer will save a lot of people when it comes to doing it on top of the cabinet or on top of the doorway again nice job
If you prefer cutting crown nested you can use your 2p-10 on your saw to create a crown stop for temporary use... and a fine tooth blade really helps closing in the mitres .... good video guys
Love this. I'm definitely painting first.
Perfect for my application. Thank you!
That turned out really nice. Thanks for the tips...
You guys make a great team! Thanks for all the valuable tips you guys give out to us over YT.
👍🏻 cheers from NYC 🗽
Great job!👏 this falls under the think smarter, not harder category.
Dude. Now that’s slick. Love these guys
I’m about to do this. Glad I found this video before I started! Thank you.
Great idea! This is literally the reason I haven't install crown on my cabinets yet. Thank for the video!
that was pretty slick paul thanks for everything you do
Great tip! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
There is crown made for full overlay doors which will save you a lot of assembly time. For cabinets with standard overlay doors you can nail a piece of scribe with a round over (or whatever style matches your crown) to the side of the cabinet that will take up that thickness needed to clear the face frame. Again saving a lot of assembly time, makes the mitered corner match the face frame and in my opinion is easier
Great idea! Definitely using that in my upcoming kitchen remodel. 👊
Awesome details! thank you for sharing!
OMG mind blown. That is so cool.
I might attempt this myself. I have been waiting 5 months for my trim guy to come back and finish my crown. I’m giving up on him.
My kitchen has two corner cabinets with 45 degree doors.
I understand the outside corners but have no idea about cutting the four inside corners.
I’ve never done anything like this and willl have to borrow tools .
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Thanks man,....
Brilliant idea!
Tons of cab installers have been faced with that problem. My last install was exactly this method. I love this stuff. Well hell yah my thumb is up.
You guys are really finding your groove! And super comfortable on camera. Just recently found you guys been binge watching all your old stuff and you guys are impressive and full on youtubers now! Hah 😜 and basically my neighbor just a hop and skip on the other side of the Mississippi River.
Beginner here. I let a contractor install my cabinets but I'm going to try the crown molding myself using this method. I have the tools including a Craftsman miter saw and pneumatic nailer. I'm going to have to study my saw though and see if it has those angles notched like it is on yours.
Great solution. I wish this video existed 3 years ago when I installed mine. I scoured YT and blogs and not a single person had this approach.
