I have been a carpenter for 35 years. Going from building homes to trimming out the inside. Your videos have taught me so much. Your precision is awesome. Thank you.

There's nothing better than watching a true craftsman work his trade. Thanks for the insider tips!

My wife and I had a good laugh over the intro. That's exactly how my weekends start.

I am a Master Carpenter who recently retired after a 50 year career. I have watched 3 or 4 of your videos and feel like I have met my doppelgänger… You install crown molding exactly like l do. I really like your “nesting” stop that you have built. I used the Dewalt stops that you talked about.
One thing l would suggest that you might try is marking the ceiling with a pencil mark that matches the 3 1/2” spacing on your nesting stop.
I made a 3 1/2” block that I fastened to a short 1x2. I taped a pencil to a similar 1x2 so I could mark the ceiling 3 1/2” out. We would put around 3 marks. My personal experience on a long wall is the crown mold wants to sag a little bit. We would often use a 2x4 block and knocked the center up until it reached the pencil mark.
I would appreciate some response.

I'm only finishing for about 8 months now, been a framer/drywall guy for 26 years. You probably hate me already! SUPER informative, and I appreciate the detailed explanations. Especially the crown stop jig at the beginning. You're a great resource for us - that know how to read a tape, but are learning the different tools out there that MUST be used to finish properly. Thanks for the education brother God bless 🇺🇸

I appreciate your comment about coping vs mitering. I've done both in my house and I find mitering easier and quicker and I haven't noticed any difference in the corners of miters vs the coped joints as far as separation goes. I feel pressured to do coped joints because I put alot of time and money into all the projects that I do and I want to make sure I do them the correct and professional way. And most trim carpenters say coping is the way to go. I no longer feel like I have to cope my inside corners. I'm going to miter from here on out because I'm definitely more efficient with that method. Great tips as always. You're definitely my favorite channel.

I’m a carpenter like you and do a lot of crown, and I loved your little ‘oops’ moment of ‘what did I say....35 1/4?’ Getting distracted while thinking numbers is my nemesis.

[mattleggett]

I appreciate your concern and safe work tips and protocols. Not everyone that is new to a craft will consider the risks and positions that place you at risk when performing a task. Keep making and posting these awesome videos, there are many of us out here that have gained knowledge from your teaching, tips, and tricks.

Great series. Three things I do . On high traffic joints I use a combo of ca glue and wood glue(titebond ) sometimes skipping the accelerator to have a little extra open time to wiggle and press for a more accurate fit. I like using a few dabs of liquid nails or pl fast grab after my test fit behind my molding at strategic spots so that most of my pins can be 1.5-2 “ 23 gauge for easier paint prep later and less likelihood of wood split on smaller pieces. You are a true craftsman and have a very easy strong manner about you that makes your videos a pleasure to watch. 2 thumbs up.

Scott Brown here...I was on a Scott Brown binge yesterday, guess we know where you've been too.

[Alboto]

The best crown installation guide I've seen. You have a great way of teaching

[charlottebrown]

I love watching your videos because you explain things very well and you don’t stumble through your words you’re very articulate so it’s extremely easy to understand everything you’re talking about.

[mikeaustin]

This is giving me confidence to tackle the crown on an upcoming kitchen remodel project with stained and painted crown. I'm sure I'll be re-watching this one and other great videos you have made. Thanks for the education.

Finally... My favorite show is back on, but first I have to watch some Breaking News: Richard is back with more crown moulding videos! Welcome back Carpentry TV!

[CAtripper]

Would have watched an additional hour to see you finish the second room with miters. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talent with us DIY'ers out here. In the middle of a 3 room crown install and getting better as I go (with your help). Thank you!
