How to Measure and Cut Crown Molding (Even the Crazy Angles)

A few degrees can make a big difference when you're setting the angle on your miter saw for crown molding. See what tools and measurements I use to get the perfect fit every time!

Thank you SO much for posting this! I was really struggling to wrap my brain around a couple of bizarre angles in my house, and at $9 a foot, I could NOT afford to screw up. You saved me 😃

thank the lord ! someone's took the time to explain the angle thingiememob cut in a way that makes sense to the normal folk. plenty of experienced youtubers seem to think we all know the basic's, i wish i did, but i dont. fair play.

You just helped me end a two year break on my kitchen remodel! That one corner had me so intimidated I gave up.

Thank you for this!!!! Only video that makes sense

Exactly what I was looking for! I got even more excited when I heard that your angle was 1° off from mine. Ha ha.

I'm a local 435 Cleveland carpenter. This February made my 21st year so, I was critiquing your tool use, along with your dimensioning...and job well done...except one thing! NEVER cross your arms on a miter cut like that.

I needed this about 3 years ago. Haha well now I seen how it’s done. Thanks for sharing how to do it

[IfOnlyApril]

That’s some very good explanation what to do here! Well done!

[MrsShay]

You totally made this look easy! I actually think I can figure it out now!

What I want to know, is how do you go about measuring if lets say this same wall. If you needed to make the pieces fit tightly against your other trim/wall. How would you measure the whole piece and where to cut that piece?

great video ! doing some crown work now and found your video helpful, curious how do u use the 180degree starting point in theory ?

[wcassady]

Nice job. Also, you look like Christina from the TV Show Parenthood

[chriscampbell]

Nice job, it’s scary when you crossed your hands to make the last cut. Never do that try to use your left hand to operate the saw. Good job though.

This was ten times simpler than anything I heard anyone else say lol. Curious- when you’re subtracting and dividing the angle where did you get 180 from?

[josetenorio]

I got to say...ur explanation was so simple n generic...made it so easy to understand...I got more info from ur video than watching all those high speed professional contractors that only confuse me...n please be careful making ur cuts crossing ur arms is very dangerous...n ty n have a blessed day
