My Dad died, but videos like this honestly feel like i have internet dads that help me with my projects, its really comforting to know even though i missed out on a lot, i can still get fun, useful lessons from a cool dude who knows his stuff. Thanks.

Another great video! I am a licensed GC and have over 40 years of construction experience, but I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Excellent job! I love the system that you came up.

BTW, you can use a pin nailer and you won't have to fill nail holes in the molding. Most of the professional cabinet installers I have subcontracted to use pin nailers and glue on crown molding and the cabinet trim. In some cases, with larger trim, they will us a full size finish nail like you did.

Love your carpentry skills! Been a carpenter for 50 years and you have impressed me. Thanks for sharing!

I love, love, love this. I have to put crown up on my own cabinets and I will be doing this method. I'm glad I haven't done them yet and now I have your system to do it. Thanks for sharing this.

I've done cabinet installation for 30 years. This is the best tip ever. I have my kids crown job in front of me. Will use this without a doubt. Thank you thank you!

Amazing crown. But you know something I appreciate more than this tip? The respect that man has for his Dad. Well done sir. Thats worth more than any lottery. Appreciate all your videos

I'm never disappointed watching your videos. I have to admit that's a clever trick, I've seen it used on an old wardrobe piece of furniture we had in our home before but never put 2 and 2 together. I've been doing a whole house remodel due to flood damge on a 60 year old house, and I have to say, y'all have given me the spark to tackle most of this project through all facets of construction. I'm currently at the trim stage 9 months later, so this is a pretty useful idea for my cabinet installation that I'll be undertaking next week.

Speed explanation .... 13 minutes and 50 seconds of pure knowledge and didn't even take a breath. great vids guys

Great video, this technique is beautiful. I install cabinets for a living. All this time I’ve been doing it the hard way.Installing my riser/nale strip and then cutting the crown to fit, on a ladder. Leaving the nail strip flat, bumping it out using it as a detail, form and function simply genius.

I gotta do a kitchen install this winter and I am so glad for this video! It takes the intimidating job of doing the crown and makes it simple! Thank you guys so much!!! Great job!

[joshuasteele]

Great video! Love the nailer trick. To get rid of the chipping in your miters you need to throw a finish blade on that miter saw. Makes the painters job that much easier and makes you look that much better. Love your videos keep it up!

[joshuasutton]

Block layer is a great site, I use it mostly for rafters. I didn’t know it had a tool for crown moulding, that’s a great tip. I’ll have to give it a more thorough look at some point.

I just stumbled onto this video. I'm glad I did. I've wanted to do crown in my kitchen but thought it was beyond me. This method looks awesome, and easy to follow.

[jacobmarley]

I have watched quite a few crown molding videos in the past having never attempted it yet and this is by far the most concise and easy to understand . Thank you very much thumbs up

[robertbrewer]

Great video. Crown has always been intimidating for me. I’ve done several ceiling crown jobs but only 2 sets of cabinets I fumbled my way through but next time I will be prepared to have a much smoother install. Beautiful work brother. Looks like you run a tight ship. I recently went on my own out of necessity my family keeps growing and so do the bills. Thanks for the free lesson it will definitely be something I will retain and help to give my family the financial freedom they deserve.

[marycontrary]

Love your videos! This one showing the miter angles for cutting! Omg I’m 54 years old and never knew that! No wonder the few times we’ve cut crown it was hard to get right!! Brilliant and love this prefab method! I will be a regular watching your videos! Thanks!!

Absolutely awesome way to install cabinet crown molding! I cannot think of a better way.

I remember years ago my wife wanted crown in our kitchen. I didn't know much about home improvement, but we had a book that listed steps for most common improvement tasks like crown installation.

Each entry in the book had a 'difficulty rating', scored from 1 to 5. I remember crown was listed at 4.5 - very high difficulty. I thought, "what could be so hard about crown installation?" I didn't even own a miter saw, just a miter block and a hand saw.

I am proud to say that after 4 weekends of work, I had zero crown installed and my marriage was almost at an end. I smartened up and hired a carpenter who did a far better job than i ever could have done, and in only a few hours time.

[lrparrish]

Very nice and also gives you the option of making it even more sturdy with the addition of the other blocks. Love it

Yours is the first video I saw when looking up how to add crown to existing cabinets. It is also the last video I'm going to watch - no need to look further. THANK YOU for such a great video and method!!
