Working thru my apprenticeship, I had to find books on this. This movie still doesn't define how difficult this really is. Its a BEAST when its cold! Bravo for your effort!
Hey Richard, 40+ years in and I've never installed flex moulding but would take it on with confidence after watching you do it... thanks for all the do's and don'ts... priceless! A suggestion: when using tape to transfer measurements from curved surfaces I use the 'filament' type stranded strapping tape... virtually no stretch like you mention you could have with the blue tape... Best, Matt
I like the tape idea, that's great! One suggestion I have if you're willing to hear, is to put a piece of 1/4" mdf on the wall below your line and up to it before you put the flex up. Makes it a fair bit easier to install because it's got something to rest against as you go
Oh my gosh Richard! I just came across a video of your’s that I hadn’t seen yet. Talk about major intimidation. I was freaking out with finished crown I had to cut and install for our kitchen cabinets. In fact it took me almost three months before I made my first cut. On top of the various miter cuts I had a scarf joint I had to deal with (took your advice and did a 22.5 degree cut, which came out really nice!). There was no caulking or touch up paint...each cut had to be perfect. I practiced a lot on old material and watched your videos 2 and 3 times in preparation! The flex molding took it to a whole new level. Totally impressed at your skillset. Didn’t know I could be more impressed!! Thanks for another awesome video!
I look at many videos on youtube you are by far the best for being so young I learned so much watching. I am 64 years old and I am a jack of all trades and master of none. I am going to be putting lots of trimming on my home so I need all the help I can get. Last thing the way you give your instructions and the clarity in your voice anyone can learn from you. I will be watching more videos from you before I start my many projects. Keep up the good work and thank you. For you people that gave this wonderful young man thumbs down, you should be ashamed of yourself. You are jealous.
So glad i found your channel. I've been a finish carpenter for over 50 years and I thought I'd seen it all. Your a remarkable carpenter and should be very proud of your work I've learn a lot by watching your chanel. Thank You very much young man
I'm a flooring contractor for 30 years installing, sanding and finishing hardwood flooring. We do moldings. Your videos have helped me raise my detail level for moldings and. I also calibrated my saw...it was way off. No wonder I couldn't get tight lines. Going to treat myself to a chop saw table. Standard procedure for floromen is place the chop saw on top of the table saw. Make all of your cuts bent over or kneeling. My moldings and my jobs are coming out much better. Thank you. I even tried that wave app for submitting estimates. You gave a lot of good advice. Thanks
I always learn something from your videos. This one is no exception. I had not heard of flex moulding before this. Thank you. You are very skilled not only at your work but with your explanations. Best to you.
Your videos are great man, pleasure to watch a coworker somewhere across North America doing exactly same type of work, and using exactly same type of moulding like we do here in Toronto. This might be of interest to you. When we install flexible moulding, we cut ends shorter by about 3-6" (total of 12" for both ends) depending on the radius of the curve. Then join left and right end with mdf moulding that has miters already cut using ca glue, this way you don't have to fight with flexible moulding on the saw, also comes in handy if you make a mistake you can just cut mdf piece off and start over. Also I find that a lot of the flex mouldings have slightly different profile shape from mdf match, so by doing a straight joint you can sand them flush to match.
Interesting choice to miter the corners (not saying it is right or wrong!) -I've always ran them into the corner and then coped into them. Also, I'm so glad you mentioned NOT to pre-finish! It seems we both learned from that mistake. Great video.
OMG!!! It's like making an accurate cut on a python!! I don't know how you do it, young man!! At my age, I doubt I'll ever have a round room...but if I ever do?? I'll just call you!!
Hey Richard. I lost my gmail account about a year ago (DFW Crown days) and man oh man. The improvement of your channel are huge the quality, skills, the editting, and the way you talk. I'm so glad that you're still making videos. Keep it up! P.S. I don't know anything about finish carpentry, you're just so entertaining to watch even if i don't understand what you're saying 90% of the time
Patients and skill rule the day. Amazing result! Watch your video and note the closeness of your hood draw strings to your miter saw blade. We don't want to loose you...
Great video as usual it’s always worth waiting for and watching You are an excellent teacher and carpenter .It’s a pleasure to see you progressing through the years GOD BLESS!
Aye I gotta say.. Your the Man, I can watch your videos all day during down time. I've got my Painting business and deal with plenty other Contractors from Flooring to Finish Carpentry. Glad your doing ya thing & sharing your skills. 👍
Years ago, I had attempted to cut a bunch of 3-4" long pieces of the molding with a slight degree to go around a curved 2nd story foyer wall above a curved stairway. I was quite proud of myself until the painter completed the painting of the crown and discovered that the light hit each small piece of crown slightly different! Yep, we ripped it out and got the flexible crown!
Nice explanation. I love the duh why didn’t I think of that tricks. Also I really like your crown stop set up 👍. I’ve been installing and fabricating molding work for 22 years and I love watching others keep the bar held high.
These types of moldings were quite common in the 19th Century but made of wood and not urethane. They were known as "spring moldings and commonly seen wrapping around the outside or inside of curved porches, porticos and such. They can still be made of wood although certainly less flexible than urethane. They're called spring molds because they can only extend to spring points on a specific curve (also called tangent points.) Or perhaps because of the spring angle of crown molding? I really don't know. I've made them before and it's still viable . The curve is not made to the plan-curve of the wall but according to a specific formula related to a cone. So yes, a horizontally, curved but flat section of crown molding, can be bent and installed on a specific curved wall. And I'd be willing to bet, few guys today, have ever heard of such a thing? Flextrim certainly knows all about it but perhaps not the history?
Obviously it's the nature of the work that you spend most of your time in nice houses, but this one looks really special. I also like that there's still interior color in DFW. Here in the Boise area and to a lesser extent the Salt Lake area everything is white and tan.
Caleb M yes this community has a lot of colors inside. We have done 7 homes in this community and all of them have changed the builders typical beige colors . It’s really nice having the different colors. It puts you in a good mood.
I've noticed the white/tan trend in Georgia also. We remodeled our kitchen recently and the cabinet maker told us white painted cabinets are popular, but we never considered it, we went with stained.
@@darkdelta stained is nice, white is a lot of work to keep clean in a kitchen even with a range vent working hard all day. Seems like everyone wants it though. It's what's on Pinterest so it's what the client wants.
Felt like another long break between videos. That's GOTTA mean you're either super busy with work, or giving the media a break. Either way, I GET IT. Another gem of a video. Not many carpenters have gotten the chance to work with flex mold, I'm very grateful I started as a Union guy, otherwise I may not have either. Also you are DEAD ON about dimpling... if you are too thick on that gauge, its drydex to the rescue. But that's ALOT of floating with drydex. Great tip.
The other day, I miscut a piece of rubber moulding for an art niche'. Due to the deadline, we couldn't wait 2 week for another piece. My point: I had to custom make the piece of radius trim. 3 5/8" of 1/8" strips. The profile turned out perfectly.
one of the few things i haven't done as a professional carpenter after watching your video i would not hesitate to try.i'm just curious about wether you had tried cutting it on the flat
I love the way you hit upon small things like making slow cuts to prevent damage to the product that can cost you money its these little things like these that make your channel so good. I learn something every time I watch your clips. Bye, the way what type of Miter finder did you use?
Nice I like it, I've used flexible j chanel and other flexible exterior trims. I didnt know it was made on such big crowns or base. But I'm not a interior finish guy. Nice work bro
Love to watch how precise you are at installing crown. Learn a lot from your knowledge since ive subscibed👍.. keep up the good work and greetings way from belize.
Richard, you are awesome! I love your videos and always learning something from you..... clearly, I am not a carpenter, but rather a DIYer. In any event, I have not read all the comments but curious as to how you fill the nail holes in the flexible moulding?
Very interesting,have never seen that before.500.00? WOW.I'd be intimidated as well. I hung a fancy light fixture for a client one time. After I was done they told me it was a 4500.00 light. I was glad they did not tell me before I hung it.
If I was doing this I would cut the mitre on one end before sticking on the blue tape and then marking the other end. That way only one of the mitre cuts is crucial to be in the correct position.
Thanks for another really good how to video. Question: When marking your wall and ceiling projections, could you have used a good compass set to mark the 4.5"? If not, why?
Would you not suggest flat cutting the flex molding then coping the other pieces into it so you don’t have to wrestle the flex molding as much on the chop saw?
installed a bit of this stuff and found that not always you get rubber to match wood as far as crown pattern or is the shape and thickness consistent along length of rubber, finish head screws work well to hold big crown, superglue will glue ends or miters together, and good ole bondo will work well for shaping surface of rubber and filling nail/ screw holes. but be careful it will catch a saw blade and ruin your day
anytime I have ever done flex crown, I would run finish screws into the studs every few feet due to the weight of the crown...also im in Florida and we would lay the crown in the sun for about an hour before installing, this would make the material much easier to work with...
This taught me a lot about installing flex mouldings, which I'm going to tackle this weekend....and it also reminded me not to have hoodie drawstrings hanging in front of my miter saw! :)
Can you show how to ensure both your table saw and miter saw is calibrated? Or how to calibrate them? I am struggling getting my cuts to match what the fence is reading on table saw
I think you should get a small enclosed trailer. Nothing big. You can even add some ladder racks on the top. That’s what I’m trying to buy for my construction business. Great content!
Nice job Rich, can you use a spring clamp to hold your molding to the back fence while you cut the miter ? Just a thought, love you presentation and belated Happy Veterans Day bud
Are these flex moldings the only option for curved walls or are there MDF, PVC, or other material alternatives? Which is generally regarded as the best material to use and why (cost aside)?
Why not do a straight cut on the flex piece so it ends into the wall and come behind on the connecting pieces doing a coping cut? Like what you’d do on roughly a 90 degree inside corner. That way you wouldn’t have to be so exact when cutting the flex piece. Ive never installed a flex piece like this so just wondering if my thought process is way off.
I have a customer that need this done. Same size as in this video. If there was already crown that was butted up to the curved part, could I just cope the flex mold to fit?
Great video! I have an archway that I have wanted to do in my living room, this fits my needs to a tee. I cringe when I see anybody with loose clothing around machinery, take care of yourself.
So quick question. We put MDF in the kitchen for the window trim and since it was going to be to flat we used a router to make a slight design on the edge now that edge looks kind of rough even after sanding it a bit trying to get it ready for paint. What can i do?
Those Diablo blades are killer! Especially those fine cutters...You young guys are so lucky these days...That flex volt rig is SWEET! Have you seen DEWALT FLEXVOLT 120V MAX Corded / Cordless 12" Double Bevel Compound Sliding Miter? I just wish they were made domestically.
I have flex moulding on my windows. Problem is paint or primer won’t stick well and bubbles up. Is there some kind of prep that needs to be done to it before priming?
Get a set of drywall benches, they have adjustable height legs and are 4' long. You wont have to up and down the ladder so many times. Perfect for a job like that.
Question about the placement of the tape, on the wall and on the molding. Did you apply the top edge of the tape to the pencil line on the wall? And transferred that measurement to the bottom edge of the molding? Meaning when you applied the tape to the molding, the bottom edge of the tape, the edge that was furthest away from the pencil line, was hanging off of the molding? Or am I thinking too much into the “exact” measurement? I just have a feeling if any part was mixed up, the measurement could be wrong at some point. Like if the tape was applied to the molding where 100% of the tape was on the molding. PS... After typing that last sentence, I might have been over thinking it. But I’m going to post it just to confirm it...
Robert Steich good question. I placed the tape on top of the pencil line exactly where the moulding would go. And then from there it really doesn’t matter if the tape is flipped upside down because I cut it straight with the razor blade. So the tape is exactly the same no matter the orientation.
Working thru my apprenticeship, I had to find books on this. This movie still doesn't define how difficult this really is. Its a BEAST when its cold! Bravo for your effort!

That flex mold looks like a giant piece of Laffy Taffy
Beautiful work my friend
Never thought that It could be cold in Texas.
What is the wire hanging on the miter saw?
Why not to do cutting inside the house?
I would love to see the finishing process. You spraying that? Spraying inside is a pain in the ass.
That was excellent, thanks for helping me understand this project!
Enjoy your videos brother! Question - type and tooth blade are you using for crown molding/ trim?
installed a bit of this stuff and found that not always you get rubber to match wood as far as crown pattern or is the shape and thickness consistent along length of rubber, finish head screws work well to hold big crown, superglue will glue ends or miters together, and good ole bondo will work well for shaping surface of rubber and filling nail/ screw holes. but be careful it will catch a saw blade and ruin your day

I think you should get a small enclosed trailer. Nothing big. You can even add some ladder racks on the top. That’s what I’m trying to buy for my construction business. Great content!
Noe Salgado I wish but I can’t park it in my hoa community

Hello Richard, my box of CarterFlex moulding does not indicate Inside or Outside radius. Does this mean it works on both?
Those Diablo blades are killer! Especially those fine cutters...You young guys are so lucky these days...That flex volt rig is SWEET! Have you seen DEWALT FLEXVOLT 120V MAX Corded / Cordless 12" Double Bevel Compound Sliding Miter? I just wish they were made domestically.
ROB-IN-PHILLY yes I love all these tools that make our jobs easier. And yes I have the slider compound saw too. It stays in Jons truck as a back up
@@FinishCarpentryTV :)...That thing is a Gigantic!...You need a trailer for it...:)
Always so generous with your tips. Tx !
Just wondered where you got those hinge blocks that lift up your crown stop on your saw stand, Nice video
u dont upload so much anymore but this 30 minute video will make up for some lol
I have flex moulding on my windows. Problem is paint or primer won’t stick well and bubbles up. Is there some kind of prep that needs to be done to it before priming?
Get a set of drywall benches, they have adjustable height legs and are 4' long. You wont have to up and down the ladder so many times. Perfect for a job like that.
As all of your work, Absolutely wonderful. Great job.
Thanks
I would cut one side first and then measure and cut the other. Is there something wrong in doing it that way? Serious question.
Please show when complete.Professional work on a non-conventional house I would love to live in.Very informative & enjoyable video !!!!!!!
thanks for all that you do, and your sharing of your knowledge
What are your thoughts about this miter saw, mine has a weird sound, you never did the unboxing of this miter saw.
Awesome video brother!
Question about the placement of the tape, on the wall and on the molding.
