Thank you SO much for posting this! I was really struggling to wrap my brain around a couple of bizarre angles in my house, and at $9 a foot, I could NOT afford to screw up. You saved me 😃
thank the lord ! someone's took the time to explain the angle thingiememob cut in a way that makes sense to the normal folk. plenty of experienced youtubers seem to think we all know the basic's, i wish i did, but i dont. fair play.
You are so welcome. I didn’t understand it for the longest time
I'm a local 435 Cleveland carpenter. This February made my 21st year so, I was critiquing your tool use, along with your dimensioning...and job well done...except one thing! NEVER cross your arms on a miter cut like that.
You just helped me end a two year break on my kitchen remodel! That one corner had me so intimidated I gave up.
Yay! I am so glad.
One more thing , you Inspired me to make a video on how to do crown molding any angle, for those who don't have a fancy angle finder...be able to make any crown angle miter cut . With a pencil and any scrap piece of wood or stock laying around you.
Exactly what I was looking for! I got even more excited when I heard that your angle was 1° off from mine. Ha ha.
Thank you for this!!!! Only video that makes sense
Welcome!
I needed this about 3 years ago. Haha well now I seen how it’s done. Thanks for sharing how to do it
I know right?! I felt so dumb once I figured it out. Welcome!
Great video! Explained it so well.
That’s some very good explanation what to do here! Well done!
You totally made this look easy! I actually think I can figure it out now!
that was the goal!
Nice job, it’s scary when you crossed your hands to make the last cut. Never do that try to use your left hand to operate the saw. Good job though.
Thanks Chris. Yeah I’m right handed so it always feels strange cutting with my left hand. Good point though.
Nice point Chris

Do you have a video has to cut inside crow molding .
Could you please sending to me the link. Thanks. 🙋♂️🙏
Yes, that’s a dangerous move and should never be repeated. Also, the addition of crown stops eliminates the possibility of “roll” when cutting. Roll can occur when cutting as well as installation. That’s why during crown work I always require two people to do it. This is especially helpful with long runs.

This was ten times simpler than anything I heard anyone else say lol. Curious- when you’re subtracting and dividing the angle where did you get 180 from?
I originally learned this concept from Leah at See Jane Drill. If you think about it, the wall separates a 360 degree circle in half. One half of the wall is your room, so any remaining angle will be subtracted from that 180 degrees.
Very nice Explanation…Thank You
I got to say...ur explanation was so simple n generic...made it so easy to understand...I got more info from ur video than watching all those high speed professional contractors that only confuse me...n please be careful making ur cuts crossing ur arms is very dangerous...n ty n have a blessed day
Thank you so much 🙂
Great video ma'am
What I want to know, is how do you go about measuring if lets say this same wall. If you needed to make the pieces fit tightly against your other trim/wall. How would you measure the whole piece and where to cut that piece?
Nice job. Also, you look like Christina from the TV Show Parenthood
Wow, thanks! Love Monica Potter.
Nice work
Great explanation! Thank you!
great video ! doing some crown work now and found your video helpful , curious how do u use the 180degree starting point in theory ?
I can’t believe you left your baby crying lien that. Broke my heart hearing his cries.
He was waking up from a nap and my husband was there to help too. It’s all good!
NEVER cross your arms to operate a saw. Otherwise good info
I love working with power tools! Do you ever watch Design on the Nines on UA-cam? She love to as well
No but I’ll check her out!
So where did you get the 180° from ?
What is it's an inside corner?
Correction: the angles are measured in degrees. So, st the beginning of your video, your initial angle was 132 degrees and not inches
You are correct. Thanks 👍
Good job, but try to never operate a saw like that. Have to be super careful.
What you have is called cove moulding--
You are correct, the same concepts will apply to regular molding, just that it will have a different profile on the top vs. the bottom. With cove molding you won’t need to flip your piece upside down on the saw. But with traditional molding you will, so that the fence acts as the wall.
What if you have an inside corner?
Well, for starters you have to cope the corner. It’s a whole different ball of wax. I’m working on some new videos currently so subscribe if you’d like to know when more crown videos come out.
Here's the tutorial on that process: ua-cam.com/video/l_MqCsnk18Q/v-deo.html
Guess all have our own workshop horror story. That is, beyond ruined stock from a wrong cut. Mine is the time a router bit not tightened enough in router collet. Router mounted upside down in a in router table. Watched bit "climb" up through wood. Stopped in time before the 20 thousand rpm bullet launched itself. Careful out there, folks.
Thanks for de-mystifying compound cuts.
NEVER CROSS YOUR ARMS please be careful
Why whisper 😆. Husband sleeping or something 😆
if you knew u were going to make this video, why didn;t you just have the pencil ready?
