I watched several video where they just kept saying it was easy, but I left the video more confused than when I started. This was by FAR the most informative
Thank you for this! I’ve had a hard time visualizing how the inside corners of the crown molding would go together. You’ve made this process 100% easier!
Excellent video and instructions. You solved my problem of how to cut a corner for crown molding. Memory had failed me and I needed a reminder. Thank you so much for simple instructions.
Also remember!!! Never cut directly on the line! The saw blade is 1/8 thick, and if you cut directly on the line then it will shorten your piece by 1/16 if not the 1/8... blade needs to be on the outside of your line if that makes sense! See and have made tons of errors shorting pieces that way and it’s extremely frustrating
Putty/ caulking is for holes only. Always fresh blade, and its like shooting a gun, line up 3 points. I sight both front and back egde of the teeth on blade with proper side of mark. Line up 3 points and cut away!
Turn the crown upside down is golden advice! Sets the pitch automatically when sitting on the top base of crown. Thanks for the accurate measurement tip too.
I just wanted to thank you for the great tutorial video! It’s excellent the way you explain it is easy to understand. I completed my project…God blessed you and plz keep posting more⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Thank you for this video! After having tried for a couple of hours turning the pieces around I found your video and then it was astonishingly easy to make an internal corner!
Thank you, just finished my room and it cane out perfect, couldnt figure out how to cut 90, but after i put the top of the crown molding at the bottom(table) of the miter cuts went perfect!
YOU, Sir are a genius and teaching guru. I watched other videos and was still lost. 5 minutes after watching your superb video I was installing crown molding like a pro! Can't thank you enough. Subscribed !
I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve already watched a few dozen videos on this or whether it’s just that this guy finally made it make sense but now I GET IT. I now understand the inversion principle PLUS I now understand which side needs to be longest given an inside or outside corner. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🙏🏽
Watched a few videos of others and gotta say I couldn’t figure which way on the longer point and you was the only one I saw that actually said the part of how to know which is inside and outside.Longer point to bottom of crown when going inside corners then longer on to of crown for outside.I now know when going to cut without holding board up as how it will be now I have that reference made my day go from long to accomplishment thank you
I am installing crown moulding right now and got so confused. Looked on You Tube and immediately found you channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You just got a new subscriber. 👍👍👍
Dude you are the MAN!!! That is a fantastic video brother 👏 👍 BRAVO!! We had never done crown molding, watched a bunch a vids and they were like WTF???! You are number one my friend!
I could tell you was a quality trim Carpenter when you mentioned how wide of a mark The Carpenter's pencil makes that's good work buddy keep it up and I like your work
When I was in high school, I took both a construction class and a woodworking class and man was it a lot of fun for sure!! We didn't make crown molding cuts but we did make miter cuts, rip cuts, cross cuts, etc. In construction we also learned about how to make a bird's mouth cut where I think it's cut at a 45° angle or something and we also learned how to build a shed as well. In woodworking we also learned not only just how to make accurate measurements and glue them up, but we also learned how to make fun projects like I made a coffee table, flag, Chinese Checkerboard, and a big clip as well! Man was it such a huge blast and I really hope to do more of that stuff in the future now that you showed us this video man thanks so so much for this!
Straight forward and to the point. Only thing I could build on it application use...take a measurement with a digital angle finger and apply it to not perfect mitre cuts!
Semper Fi. Good instructions for the inside mitre cut, I wish you would have cut outside corners. Only because a lot of us are visual, and learn better by seeing rather than by being told how to do something. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing how easily your blade went through that molding made me to realize that it’s definitely time for me to get a new blade. 🤦🏽♀️ Thanks for the video!
Quick and simple video for cutting crown molding. I installed 400 feet of CM in our house about 15 years ago but today, I installing four pieces in our toilet room so your video was helpful. My only negative was your comment at the 4:00 mark when you were getting ready to cut a small piece of CM, really too small to safely cut and your comment was it "a little too little for....a little to small but WE WILL MAKE IT WORK". Also, I didn't see any safety google being used when using the miter saw. One should NEVER has such a casual attitude around power tools and speaking from personal experience, one should ALWAYS wear safety googles. About 45 years ago, while sanding a transom on the back of a 48" wood power boat and NOT wearing safety googles, a little piece of old chipped paint fell off and landed on my eye surface. We tried to wash it out on the job site.....no success.. The surface tension had it firmly in place....I had to go to an ophthalmologist and even he spent several minutes before he was able to remove it. SAFETY FIRST.....for your EYES and your digits !
I figured out this crown cutting method myself, but had trouble to measure the exact length !!! This video teaches me the trick, so simple that I never thought about it, I am only good at figuring out complicate stuff, pretty weird me. I just finished 3 crown molding in my home (8 ft x 8 ft, two of them at 4 x 4), still have one more to go 10 ft x 4 ft. It's real fun to do this. To be honest, I did one wrong cut per room, my mind was else where when I made this cut and all I can say was Oh. Sh.sh sh sh.. Forgot to mention, the recessed areas (light fixture boxes on the ceiling) are 6" deep !!! I had to install flat molding at the edge, then above it the crown molding. The crown molding overlaps the flat one by nearly an inch.
Man you was doing so good.. I wish you would have just cut the 71 5/8 then apply.. that would have been much clearer to the inside/ outside corner narritive
It’s helpful to glue down two pieces of wood with double tape as support on the line you made on the saw. Very helpful and makes everything stable while sawing specially when cutting short pieces.
I have an older guy willing to bring me along on a molding job and it will be my first time being immersed with something like that. Thanks for those tips!
Thanks for the video. I figured out how to make crown cuts by watching sitting in the passenger seat on the way to the job, got there and ran 80 lineal feet.
Hello, thank you for your video. Do you have one showing us how to cut for lighted crown molding. I know the top is off the wall, but how far and what outside angle do I use?
Most important thing is to make sure your saw it set up correctly. Make sure the blade is square to the table and the fence. Even the slightest bit off throws all your cuts out of whack. Plus most inside corners aren’t 90 degrees and same goes for the outside corners. Good luck everyone.
Thanks for the video! I have never cut crown before. We are redoing a bonus room that was added to the house prior to us. It is basically a walled all porch. My only question is. The ceiling has a slight downward pitch to allow rain run off. How if any does this affect the process of connecting the pieces to the straight wall
I honestly use a dewalt saw with the crown attachement and is all from basic stuff dont have to use the tape is a fully adjustable attachement made for crown and can connect to the mitter saw i do know from the past that that attachment wasnt available for ridgid but if anyone knows if they do have them now would be appreciated
I watched several video where they just kept saying it was easy, but I left the video more confused than when I started. This was by FAR the most informative
Of all the videos on youtube, yours is the only one that truly described and showed in detail how inside cuts were done. Thank you, Thank you!
Thank you for this! I’ve had a hard time visualizing how the inside corners of the crown molding would go together. You’ve made this process 100% easier!
well done marine, struggled with molding cuts, you made it clear & simple, love the accurate measuring tip as well . AIRBORNE !

That's what caulk is for
Do your best, caulk the rest!
Putty/ caulking is for holes only. Always fresh blade, and its like shooting a gun, line up 3 points. I sight both front and back egde of the teeth on blade with proper side of mark. Line up 3 points and cut away!
You not explaining if the walls aren't flush 90°it won't meet up
Thank you for the sound advice
This right here! I also spent hours, tilted blade even and nada but heartache! Thank you so much for this simple and effective method
The idea to mark the tape on the saw is terrific. Thank you for sharing.
Turn the crown upside down is golden advice! Sets the pitch automatically when sitting on the top base of crown. Thanks for the accurate measurement tip too.
After going through a few videos, yours was the only one that does not require a jig and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
Glad I could get you started! Good luck
I just wanted to thank you for the great tutorial video! It’s excellent the way you explain it is easy to understand. I completed my project…God blessed you and plz keep posting more⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The absolute best video I've seen on cutting crow molding. Thank you!
Thank you, just finished my room and it cane out perfect, couldnt figure out how to cut 90, but after i put the top of the crown molding at the bottom(table) of the miter cuts went perfect!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🙏🏽
Right there with you, I’m like 6 videos in and this one finally made since. Thank you durbin!
I really need to make an outside cut video for you guys! It’s pretty simple, just flipped the other way.
The tape measure trick was enough for me to find a different video
Still not sure how this inverted angle cut would fit squarely in the corner and flat against the wall?
Long side bottom for inside corners and long side top for outside corners is such a simple yet awesome explanation. Thanks !
Absolutely! Really helped me visualize it!
Watched a few videos of others and gotta say I couldn’t figure which way on the longer point and you was the only one I saw that actually said the part of how to know which is inside and outside.Longer point to bottom of crown when going inside corners then longer on to of crown for outside.I now know when going to cut without holding board up as how it will be now I have that reference made my day go from long to accomplishment thank you

Substitute the word "were" for the "was". You don't say " I could tell you"was" a quality .... it is "were".

Semper Fi. Good instructions for the inside mitre cut, I wish you would have cut outside corners. Only because a lot of us are visual, and learn better by seeing rather than by being told how to do something. Thanks for sharing.
Hundreds of videos on internal mitres, but external mitres is a rare explanation, I to would like to see an external mitre done.

Amazing instructional! Thanks. Easy enough to understand. I was blind but now I see. 😂
Thx man, this really helped me out! ❤
Thank you. This was so helpful brother!

Oh man! Thank you so much for this!! So much simpler!

Bud, that is the simplest and best explanation of how to cut inside corners on crown molding that I have ever seen. Thanks.
Well I appreciate the comment! Thanks!
Measuring trick was fantastic
Love the tape that's a lifesaver because crowns gotten too big for my crown sets.
Thanks Durbin Compound! Good tips!
Awesome video and instruction
You made this easy to understand. With a little practice I can do this without hiring some crown molding installer.
Thank you for the information.
Nice tips. No coping. I don't know what to say about that. If everything is perfect on the corners, fine. But any little variation and you're screwed.
This video is purely for beginners. Coping is more advanced and will come later in skill sets
YOUR THE MAN SIR !
Nice explanation ✊
Good job well done !
You rock! Thank you for the video
Well explained, most people down explain very well.
Best one yet !!

I was getting ready to murder my saw for my stupidity. Thanks for saving me money :)
