I am a newbie in woodworking. I am also 82 years old. My daughter house is being sold and there are several repair needed. To save money I did most of the repair. So far I’ve removed and replace damaged hardwood flooring, and replace base moldings. This device is super useful. Thanks for the video.
Been doing residential/commercial woodwork for 40+ years...it's always a pleasure to learn a new method that's smarter.
Thanks Paul.
Thank you Zen, I'm really glad I could help!
Thank you, I re3ally appreciate that!@PC Gaming Championship Group
I've been cutting crown for over 30 years now. its always nice to see another way to handle crown. Thumps up to you.
My husband and I are new to DYI. We are in our 50's and still have the energy to DIY. You make installing crown molding seem soooooooo easy, and we love all of your videos. Please enter us in the Louisville ladder contest. We would love to win one, based on our budget and limited mobility. It would make our lives and our home improvement projects a lot easier to DIY with the Louisville ladder. Keep those videos coming and we thank you.

Have a nice day! Paul
In my old house years ago I tried making a fireplace mantle with 6'' crown. I wasted about 2' of it trying to cut it properly! Now I'm thinking about making one for my new(Old) house and this jig is perfect! I even thought of just buying a mantle until I saw your video. Thanks. Made my day!

Paul, I am a corrections officer during the day and a "wish I was a carpenter" kind of guy in the evening. I have to say you have the best videos. Very informative. Love all these. Keep up the good work buddy. Thx
This is the best crown molding jig I have ever seen. Absolutely Genius!!!!
You sir are a genius. Before watching your videos crown molding use to intimidate me to the point of almost having an anxiety attack. Now I look forward to doing crown molding. Thank you so much. I now spend most of my free time watching your other videos.
I don't understand why some people thumb down, this is a great idea, best jig ever for crown! thank you
Enjoyed he video regarding the crown jig. The worse part, for me, in cutting crown is trying,to,remember which way to set my material on the saw. You jig makes it a breeze! Thanks and please keep making DIY videos.
The tips I get from your channel are like no other. Your explanation is easy to understand and spot on when I try them myself. I used your ideas on how to build a 12 ft. wide entry gate. Worked perfect, my gates do not sag. The DIY hacks make home repairs easy and simple.
Thanks Paul

You made this video just in time for me, I am attempting to do crown moulding in my home and was scared to death. I'm making this jig and feel confident that this job will be easy and make accurate cuts. Thank you Paul, you are a life saver. God Bless.
Paul Thanks for your great tips, A stroke last year left me struggling making home repairs that I can no longer afford to hire someone to do and your tips and jigs allow me to safely and easily make a lot of them myself again! Thank you. I am saving to purchase a cross x step ladder!
You are a life saver. I am about to install crown molding in my house and was stressing out. This DIY jig will make my job a lot easier. Can't wait to try it.
Have you installed the crown yet? I'm about to try the jig this weekend myself.
I Like the way this is for crown molding very nice. Got to make this for myself. Jim😊
I have never done crown molding and I followed your step by step instructions. I had very good acceptable results. Thank you very much and thank you for making something soo difficult simple.
We get a lot of great wisdom from you, Paul. At 2:27 I saw something unusual. I was taught years ago when I was a little bunny in using the table saw to never, never use the miter gauge and the rip fence together -- unless I was trying to demonstrate kickback. To use the rip fence as a set up aid, but to avoid inviting kickback, I was taught to use a short spacer block so that when the blade starts cutting, the edge of the work piece is not touching the rip fence or the spacer block. I know a lot of people disregard that and seem to do fine, but I prefer to minimize kick back risk. Stay safe, my friend. By the way, I love that jig. Great idea.
I really appreciate your comment my friend! I try to think of safety when it comes to my videos, but sometimes miss certain details and this is one of those times. I should have moved the fence back before cutting and I will definitely do this in future videos. Thanks again and I really appreciate you taking the time for me!
Have a great day!
Paul
Thank you for addressing that. I couldn't tell if there was space at the fence. I've had kick back even with my riving knife installed
Very nice solution for cutting crown... 50 years ago I cut up a lot of crown while trying to figure out how to cut it. :) figured it out but your device would have been great! Nicely done!
I used your jig omn acrown job i just did. Worked like a charm.large crown. Used some nice scraps from the cabinet guys hi grade wood.. Saved my life, couldnt find the tool to buy one and was outof time.. thanks bud. 👍👍👍
Paul , I've built two jigs for crown molding after watching your videos . Working off a ladder is what I dread because of ruining existing work , that ladder looks to be just what I need . Thanks for all your videos .
That ladder is a must have I don’t only want it I neeeed it I do cabinets and it’s one of the most useful tool to help with installing cabinets I have seen
Man I sure needed that jig 10 years ago. I did two rooms using 6 inch crown, vowed not to do that again. Now I use 3 inch crown and 3 inch base boards and buildup the crown much easier and looks beautiful. Fantastic video and instruction again Paul, keep up the great work!
Hi Michael,
That's a great way to do it as well, a few more cuts but well worth it! I have a video showing how to save money by using a smaller crown, measure down a few inches and using a picture molding as a trim. I paint the crown, space and picture molding the same color to give the appearance of stacked crown. There are so many things you can do with crown molding and they usually look great!
Have a good day buddy!
Paul
Just wanted to say thanks for video! Made jig like 3 months ago & finally got around to installing my crown! Worked perfect! Again thanks bud!!!
What a great invention. It certainly decreases my stress level. No more tweaking and needing to caulk those minor imperfections. You're a genius!
Great jig idea. Sure, helped me out on installing the crown molding in my house. Especially it binging my 1st time cutting crown molding.
Thanks
That crown jig makes so much sense I have been trying to do the upside down crown method and I am not going to lie I screw up and have to go back and forth several times just so I feel comfortable making the cut and not wasting crown but I still get it wrong sometimes ,but this is where this jig makes thing's a little easier for the diy guy like myself by trade im a mechanic and mill right but crown has been like kryptonite to me but now with the jig much much easier
great jig Paul keep the video's coming
Nice works. This is second times I have been watching your works. You are an amazing wood worker. I just wanted to get an ideas of wood working. I am not a great wood worker or carpenter. I am just handyman, who loves to work and help out others. Some jobs it pay great, and some jobs just helping out. Thanks; for your experience and knowledge you are sharing. Take care; Eric.
I have not done any crown because I've never had the opportunity to learn but your explanation has inspired me to buy some crown to butcher while I learn to use your jig. I liked that first demo piece you made. That was trick.
this is brilliant im a nyc union carpenter and i just eat these absolutely brilliant tips up. Smart man
Thank you Joe, you made my day brother! Have a great day and thank you for taking the time to comment!
perfect jig for my next ptoject on my crown molding, I have being looking for the beast band easy way to cut mu crown moldings and I am perfect with this one.
thank you Paul and keep us busy.
Thank you Paul, Helping my brother install crown molding in his home. Your jig has made a huge difference. Very helpful.
I have seen many videos on cutting crown molding. And by far this was the best. I will defiantly be adding the jig to my tools.
Nice video. Love the crown jig. Give the engineer that designed the ladder a bonus.
I really appreciate the insight on crown molding. It has always been confusing to me. This jig will be a great help. The ladder is pretty cool too.
Thanks Paul
Great tip on crown molding. Always looking for a better way.
Very informative video, love it. Also, when you are using the saw THANK YOU for turning off the sound, greatly appreciated. Besides being easier on my ears, that simple gesture eliminates dirty looks form others in the room.
No problem Ric, my ears can use all the help they can get!
This makes so much sense that I can't believe other people hadn't thought of it. I am putting up some crown molding so I am just going to custom make it for the size I am installing. Thanks!
This was one of the best videos that I have watched. IT was done for DIY’ers like myself. Thank you for giving me a chance to do what a job that otherwise I would have avoided. Making the jig now!!
Hi Gary, I really appreciate you, please let me know how your jig comes out! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Paul
Look in good this is my first time doing crown . Looks like you know what works.
My brother I am the newest inventor of mechanical devices for people that work at height outside of me being a home improvement contractor for the last 30 years it's nice to meet somebody that does great presentations
Thanks for the lesson you just made my business more productive
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN WOW! Impressive. Very knowledgeable, super informative! Easy and straightforward. Absolutely the best advise and representation how to video around. Thank you !!! Subscribed !!!
OMG, it worked! The video was soooo concise and EZ to follow. . .no guesswork involved. My test pieces sat solid against my miter saw fence and cut clean! Gonna put moulding in a back bedroom as my test before I make the kitchen crowns. Thanks Paul for your vids.
That Jig was something i will build. I have the hardest time with crown moldings. Cant wait to build it. I have scrap wood at home. Thanks for that great video.
I just got a DeWalt 12" dbl bevel miter saw for Christmas. This jig should save me the cost of buying the DeWalt miter stops and simplify the job. Thanks! Boy, that ladder would really be useful as I hope to start on my new home next year.
One of the most knowledgeable contractors and most helpful in any job around the home or outside. The Best,,,,
Hi Marylyn, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Have a good day!
Love the jig for the crown molding. That ladder can really help me with my work doing trim ,crown or even painting.
\u
This is fantastic! I'm just getting ready to redo the crown moldings in our kitchen. This is really going to make it fool proof.
Awesome Thomas, please let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Paul
I don't need a ladder but I did come here to say Thanks for this video! How anyone can thumbs down this goes way beyond me...Good job Paul!
Hello Paul, I am watching your video from American Samoa. Your fence idea for cutting molding is fantastic. You are a genius and with your invention you have saved a lot of time in holding the molding in place while cutting the crown molding. Great invention for us DIY and even the guys i`n the field. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Best wishes on all your projects, looking forward to seeing more great ideas from you. Falanai Ala from American Samoa.
Hi Falanai Ala
I greatly appreciate your input, I am on vacation and visiting my daughter! I try to read over comments in the morning before I start my day and you made my day better!
Have a nice weekend and thank you!
Paul
You just made crown cutting easy now. I would always get my cuts wrong but now this just simplified it. Thanks
I'm so glad to hear that! Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Thanks to this jig I was able to put up crown molding like a pro. Awesome.🔥💪
Good trips I Ben in construction for over 30 years I still fined your videos useful and learn from you thanks and keep them coming and I got to get me one of them ladders or a few of them
You and DFW Crown should have a crown moulding face off. That would be entertaining. Both of you are rockstars!
Thank you Ocampocrojas, I really appreciate your opinion of me. I am aware of DFW and if I didn't do my own work I would definitely hire him. That guy is definitely going places, he has a great personality and does very good work!
Have a great day!
Paul
Today I'm going to build that helpful tool , thanks for make our life's easy.
Great tips and awesome jig. Your delivery is straightforward and easy to understand. Thanks
John Lyons
I truly enjoyed this I'll have to make a jig for myself. You don't know the number of times that I've had to cut those little return pieces. I did one house in 1970 where the customer went to a lumber yard that was closing and bought all of the crown that they had. I put Crown everywhere. It was a million dollar home with 19' ceilings, brick work in odd places That jig and that ladder would have been a godsend.
Paul i'm a fairly new DIY home re-molder. I retired and bought a fixer-up lake house and am remolding the interior. I really appreciate all the tips and trade trick to make working safer and fun for us beginners. Yes, I would love to put myself into the drawing for a new ladder, it is very impressive.
Thanks
Mike
I think you fuc…ked that house pretty bad. I doubt you have any skills and ability to renovate on your own. That’s called American crooks
Forget the crown molding I'm impressed with a 20-year warranty on the Rockwell drill. That will definitely be my next drill
I really appreciate you doing this workshops on line and sharing all your skills with all of us!! Awesome!
That’s really good jig for crown molding for people who can’t think upside down. 👍
Amazing. I aspire to be a Do-it-Herself and your videos give me the confidence to try stuff on my own. Thanks so much!
Very well thought out jig for crown. The ladder is ingenious
Crown jig is amazing Paul. Thanks
I just finished a crown moulding job and I wish I would have found this sooner. I absolutely hate doing crown, especially on older houses. I'm going to build the jig this weekend and try it out. Happy Thanksgiving!
Great jig, makes crown molding easier to cut, don't have to worry about turning the molding upside down, which side is the ceiling or the wall side on the saw and less wasted cuts
Hi Paul! I'm a handymen and I always learn something new from your videos thank you , I wish one day I'll know everything that you know.
Hi Claud,
I'm sure there's a lot you could teach me, I really appreciate you watching and have a good night!
Paul
Excellent tips on making the crown molding jig.. love it and also the ladder
You are definitely the best tradesman I’ve ever run across!.....Always look forward to learning something from you. I bought that ‘Mega Pro ‘ screwdriver you recommended........Great tool!!,,,,,
That jig is an ingenious idea. Also, I like the other tools. The Rockwell drill because it's small powerful and lightweight, the ladder it's perfect for corners. But that jig is going to be a real time-saver, thanks.
i made the jig. i made a test corner.. worked great..perfectly square! thanks for the tips and video....also i bought the mandrel for the whole saw...works awesome !!!
That is Awesome Joe, I really appreciate you getting back to me! You made my day!
Paul
that is awesome. great jig. and i really appreciate that you muted the video when you used the saw. it is annoying watching woodworking videos where you have to turn it up to hear the video and then they blow out your speakers with the saw. lol very much appreciated sir.
Good, clear and concise. I like the jig, better than the store bought one.
I like how you explain your work on how you make jigs. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Donnie, I really appreciate viewers like you!
Paul
Dude! I love it! So simple. Thank you! I spent too much on flimsy plastic jigs I can't trust. Subscribed! ✌️
Love your work and how you demonstrate for us.
I have been using your vids as training for my 3 sons... lol. very informative and simple. TY
I am about to crown my house. Your video just made me very excited to do it and be confident that I will do a good job.
Im a cabinet builder the crown jig will sure make my job alot sweeter and easier thanks for the schoolin👍👍
Thank Paul! This is a great jig for us DYI folks. I appreciate you sharing!
Another great video Paul! Those ladders looks the business. Cutting the crown moulding as you demonstrated really did come in help.
Brother that is one nice jig
I appreciate your attention to detail
Thanks for sharing
I like that I didn't have to turn down the volume when you made the cuts, was like we too had ear plugs in. Thanks!
LOL... I learned that from one of my earlier videos, I was editing with ear phones on and I jumped when the saw came on.... I try to think of these things now. Have a great day and thanks for taking the time for me!
Paul this utube was great ! I could not be leave you made cutting crown so easy. Thank you for your time too show us how easy it can be.
Defiantly very helpful, if you dont do crown moldings allot it can get prety confusing making corect cut when you your cutting upside down. At least until you get use to it but it can be very expensive making pracrice cuts lol so thanks for the job design. Latter is pretty niffty as well 😆.
Great idea. It will make cutting molding easier. Keep up the great videos.
Hey Donald, Thanks and let me know if it helps!
Simple and elegant. Very nice. Concern I have is for tearout since the blade is cutting OUT the face instead of into it. With a good blade, that should not be a big problem, esp for MDF - and for paint grade, any tearout is easily fixed. However, for stained wood, I can foresee it may be a problem.
..... BTW 2P10 is really great stuff! .... The Louisville ladder looks pretty good!
Hey Paul. I only just watching you channel recently but I've learned quite a bit and it helps me with my job. Thank you
Great job Paul, that makes the job a lot easier.
I install crown molding. That the same jig I use in the field. Its amazing what you can do with some scrap plywood. This is a great channel !!!!
Good ideal with the crown jig. I always do it free handed or cut it flat!
Hey Paul, love the show. I don't always agree with the method showed, but more often than not in leaning something new in a fun format. Thanks Paul!
Getting ready to cut some crown molding for the first time. I'll make this jig and use it.
Man ur one maestro. I was going to buy the crown stop. But these jig will ease my brain. Thanks for sharing.
man simply an amazing jig Paul . It's nice to see someone who you can tell actually works day-lie with his tools , some of the guys on here are just here to get some like and subscribers and that's it. I have always found your videos to be clean informative and very accurate . As always keep up the good work and if you have time to message a good 'ol boy back i have a 2 used older craftsman tables saws not sure of the make and model . They both are in fine working order but i dont know how to go about dialing them in and getting them ready to do some serious work. And rather than watch 200 hours of useless videos I thought you might just be the guy to ask and I could get some clear direction to at least start in. I can say this they are heavy weights . Each one weighs probly 400 pounds they are shop saws not Jobsite saws and they have the external belt driven motors. and are solid cast iron! Man did i get a deal for 100 bucks for both? I thought so and tried to hide my grin as i had my 3 boys load them on the trailer! The guy i bought them from is a friend that was into woodworking and never really used them as he bought them in a bulk tool auction and as they became objects in his way the price he wanted kept getting lower. So at any rate i seem to be rambling on here if you have time Paul any help would be great and i hate i missed the first 100 comments because that ladder would be awesome in my new shop. Thank as always for your time...Adam
Awww.. heck. .. I'm always a day late and a dollar short.
Thank you for the instructions on how to cut crown... (I'm going to use your method, when I get to the point of doing the interior)
I'm envious of that ladder :)
After watching your tutorial I am very comfortable doing my moldings, thanks a lot!
Great invention for the cutting crown molding
Now I don't need to worry about upside-down or right side up
Another great one is a new step lather
The old one I couldn't ever lean it to the outside corner of my wall or furniture
Thanh you for sharing great ideas
Yes real great tip as i work in the feild i have never had to cut crown modeling but the time has come. I will be making this jig right away.. great tips always..👍🏽
I will certainly build your miter gig, good job, Thanks Don.
Cool jig for cutting crowns. I'm going to make me one following your video instructions. Thanks Paul!
