How To Cut & Install Crown Moulding

[joemadrid]

I have a small business doing renovations. This guy is one of my to-go-to people for when I have some doubts. I like how in none of his videos he edits out his mistakes. You see his errors and if you don't think that in itself is knowledge, then you go ahead and screw up and learn the hard way yourself. Crown molding is tricky, so give the guy credit because the final result looks how it should.

I' ve been doing crown molding for about 35 years now, and the best way to cope is to pull down with the saw and keep it at about a 5 to 10 degrees going inwards. Also to fix the outside miter issues, and inside miters, refrain from nailing the molding about two feet from the cuts. At this point you can move both sides up or down to create the perfect miter everytime.

I'm a bored stay at home mom who decided to renovate the Master by herself is becoming a dyi YouTube vocational graduate. It's videos like this that have made it possible for me to actually learn real life skills that have made this project possible.

Searched how to install crown molding. Looked at the times on the other videos. Less than 5 mins. Said fudge that. Watched this detailed video instead. This is the man to go to for home improvement. Awesome video man. Never leaves anything out. 👋 well done sir.

Just opened a small business, and this is by far the best video I’ve seen. I work in a old apartment complex. People trash the place, recently just flooded the place. I installed a drop ceiling and the walls were in even. I’m glad you show things up close good and bad. I’ll probably watch this video a couple times. Thanks man

Great real world problem-solving. Thanks for having the courage to show the walkthrough when things aren't perfect like a DIY cable show pretend they are supposed to be. For those of us with older houses and are looking for improvements, this is a great how-to video. Have a good one!

I love reading all the posts even the haters comments. Making a video, cutting, hanging pieces and trying to teach at the same time has to be the most difficult part of the video. Good Job doing your part to aid others.

I love the fact that everything you do is real world and not a bunch of theatrics. Thank you.

Too many DIY videos depict perfect joints. I like real world examples that show how to cope with less than perfect environments! GREAT

[stacyjacobs]

As a female DYIer, thank you so much for this. I'm like other posters and when looking for a video to fit my needs after 5 minutes in of watching others, I'm lost. This is so basic and exactly what I was looking for. Being left-handed, I also needed really good visuals from basic start to finish. Much appreciated!

I appreciate your integrity in showing alot of the issues that come up in real life when doing the actual work. Thanks

Just bought a house with the wife and I know she wants crown molding. Much appreciated! Also saw other videos for projects that will be going on in the future. Thank you Shannon!

I like that you run into the same problems that us average carpenters do and problem solve them. I for one am not interested in a perfect job but a job that has had some problems and you have solved it with perfection. Awesome job love your videos keep up the good work. Thanks for keeping it real

[lovemotivationloveonly]

Shannon.. I honestly CANNOT thank you enough my friend. You have seriously taught me so much and have helped me advance in my career and make more money in my life. So much love and respect to you buddy. Keep on keeping on and don't let the haters get you down. You are awesome, good sir.

New home owner here. I'm really excited to do a lot of the design implementations around my house. I just want to thank you for such a helpful detailed video. I will definitely re-watch this video for my crown molding job. Keep up the fabulous work. All the best to you!!

Good video.Shannon. I've heard it said that, " A little caulk and a little paint makes a carpenter what he ain't". But as a life-long "do-it-yourself"er, I have a lot of respect for the carpenters of the world.As I'm sure we all do. Recently my girlfriend and I began remodeling our "newest" older home.Built in 1926, it has become a great learning experience.And up till now, Mother nature, poor material choices, and several layers of paint have all been just part of it's 90 yr history.But our work continues, because of the craftsmen who built her and those of us who believe in all of it's corners.Inside and out! Thanks for sharing and helping us with the finishing touches.

I Really appreciate the extra time you take to explain and demonstrate. For those of us who have not yet attempted the jobs you demonstrate it gives one more confidence to experiment and atleast try a project. Lack of appropriate tools is the biggest issue for me. Thank you so much for all the great tips along the way too!

After getting quotes for some crown moulding work I said that's out of my budget, and decided I need to figure out how to DYI, and saw some videos of pros installation and I knew my installation wasn't going to look like there work. I finished my install and I was surprised how well it came out. So thanks to you for explaining the instructions, Good job!👍🍻

A good technique I've used for helping to get coped corners really smooth is to wrap a scrap piece of moulding in sandpaper & use the profile as a sanding block on your coped edge. Gets it SUPER tight 😉

I know others have stated this but I felt compelled to repeat their sentiment. THANK YOU for showing real world solution to mitering crown molding on walls that aren’t perfectly aligned. The glue and tape trick is the EXACT things we need to see. I’m rebuilding my home due to damages from hurricane, etc and finally at the molding stage. ✊
