    OH MY GOSH. No life story. No what's my why. No explanation about the origin of mitre cuts or the various tools to use. Just straight to the point AND in easy to follow and understand language in less than 6 minutes. I honestly can't thank you enough. 🙌🏾

    This is the most perfect explanation about how to cut crown molding in thousands of videos on UA-cam, Finally I found this video thank you this is the best.

    This lady knows how to teach. All the other videos start with "this is how you do it" but never go into sufficient detail why, and never explain all the different ways things can go wrong. Lea does all those things. Thank you

    Of all the videos I watched, yours was the best because you SHOWED US why we are flipping the molding around.
    When you marked the trim with a sharpie, slowly moved it to the miter saw, we could see the problem and when you flipped it around - the solution made sense.
    I was using a small cove molding that had no top or bottom. It was an identical 3/4" on both edges. That was making it especially difficult for me to follow other instructions about turning it upside down, etc.
    Once I watched your video and understood *why* - I was immediately able to configure my cuts. I subscribed to your channel right away THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video. 🙂

    A few weeks ago I was so frustrated trying to learn this while doing some work on my kitchen that I gave up and decided to order pre cut corners that didn’t look good at all and I ended up wasting my money. Thanks god that I found your video and all of the sudden everything makes sense. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Thank you so much Leah, for your patient speaking explanations. Too many people offering tutorials forget not everyone knows even a fraction of what he/she knows. But, we want to know. No matter what the project is I am attempting to tackle, I always end up at one of your tutorials. No one else takes the time to use words and visuals to make your instructions understandable. Many videos leave me still scratching my head, because I learn visually, not just by words. Once I "see it," then I can insert the words, to complete the picture in my head (i.e. spring angle/resting against the fence). I then believe yes, I "can do this." 2 years ago, Bradley Jellerichs perfectly expressed my sentiment. You are a great teacher.

    I watched 4 other videos on how to cut a outside corner on crown molding, they all went too fast and even after watching the videos I was still unsure of how to do it. I wish I had watched yours first. This was by far the best explanation of how to cut crown molding. THANKS!!

  • @glenbutler9611
    @glenbutler9611 2 роки тому +7

    Leah, Kudos to you making corner crown molding cuts so easy! Love the tip about the "spring angle"and how crown molding doesn't just rest flush on the wall but rests on the ceiling AND the wall! And extremely important for a beginner/ DIYer! I was trying to practice cuts with paper and cardboard and couldn't figure out why it did not fit on the wall. Crown molding comes with a 45° angle that rest on the ceiling🥺

  • @patrickchandlier195

    Thank you, Thank you, so much !!!!! I can't believe how much I have spent on crown molding because I didn't know how to cut it. This was so simple and you don't have to go through making a jig to cut the molding the right way. You made everything so easy and practical. This just cleared up everything I have been doing wrong so a BIG THANK YOU !!!!! 😃 You are AWESOME !!!!!!

    Thank you. I have a miter box and saw. I had to reverse my crown molding err turn it over and adjust the pegs but after trying cuts on a sample of crown molding I got it down. I gotta put 3 pieces on a linen closet and buying a saw or a contractor is out of the question for now. You’re easy to follow and understand. Outstanding !!

    Hi Leah, you are Amazing. I have been doing honeydew projects for over 45 years and you are still teaching me things. Your video on sawhorses just blew me away. So simple yet strong, stackable. I have been looking at sawhorse designs in books and all are too complicated. You have a very nice way of teaching, explaining everything so we understand what you are doing. Just watched crown molding video and again so simple. You are fantastic. Thank You, please don't stop. Mark

    I've never had to do angles etc in my old job, yet my new job I had to cut and join some crown moulding (8 metres up a ladder!) and had MAJOR dramas trying to work out why I was doing it wrong (lucky I had a lot of spare moulding!) I came here to learn more, and other videos make sense ofcourse, but its the way you explain it made it sink in to me. Thanks Leah
