OH MY GOSH. No life story. No what's my why. No explanation about the origin of mitre cuts or the various tools to use. Just straight to the point AND in easy to follow and understand language in less than 6 minutes. I honestly can't thank you enough. 🙌🏾

This is the most perfect explanation about how to cut crown molding in thousands of videos on YouTube, Finally I found this video thank you this is the best.

[kimeeegngarden]

Of all the videos I watched, yours was the best because you SHOWED US why we are flipping the molding around.

When you marked the trim with a sharpie, slowly moved it to the miter saw, we could see the problem and when you flipped it around - the solution made sense.
I was using a small cove molding that had no top or bottom. It was an identical 3/4" on both edges. That was making it especially difficult for me to follow other instructions about turning it upside down, etc.

Once I watched your video and understood *why* - I was immediately able to configure my cuts. I subscribed to your channel right away THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video. 🙂

I’ve watched no less than 15 videos on “how to install crown molding “ and FINALLY one that makes sense and isn’t over complicated!!!

Thank you!

This lady knows how to teach. All the other videos start with "this is how you do it" but never go into sufficient detail why, and never explain all the different ways things can go wrong. Lea does all those things. Thank you

A few weeks ago I was so frustrated trying to learn this while doing some work on my kitchen that I gave up and decided to order pre cut corners that didn’t look good at all and I ended up wasting my money. Thanks god that I found your video and all of the sudden everything makes sense. Thanks a lot for your help.

I always find myself coming back to her channel for the best help! If I search something and she's listed, definitely choosing it. She needs a TV show and we'd binge watch like This Old House!

Ma’am, I watched a lot of videos before I found yours and this was the one that did the trick. Extraordinary clear explanation. Thank you

Thank you Lisa. I am a 20 plus year roofing veteran and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Your explaination was perfect. It was so easy. Subbed. Thanks again.

Thank you so much Leah, for your patient speaking explanations. Too many people offering tutorials forget not everyone knows even a fraction of what he/she knows. But, we want to know. No matter what the project is I am attempting to tackle, I always end up at one of your tutorials. No one else takes the time to use words and visuals to make your instructions understandable. Many videos leave me still scratching my head, because I learn visually, not just by words. Once I "see it, " then I can insert the words, to complete the picture in my head (i.e. spring angle/resting against the fence). I then believe yes, I "can do this." 2 years ago, Bradley Jellerichs perfectly expressed my sentiment. You are a great teacher.

Jane is hands down the best teacher on YouTube!! Thank you Jane!!

Leah, Kudos to you making corner crown molding cuts so easy! Love the tip about the "spring angle"and how crown molding doesn't just rest flush on the wall but rests on the ceiling AND the wall! And extremely important for a beginner/ DIYer! I was trying to practice cuts with paper and cardboard and couldn't figure out why it did not fit on the wall. Crown molding comes with a 45° angle that rest on the ceiling🥺

[odonnelldenise]

You are an AMAZING teacher. Thank you SO much for showing us lowly DIYers how to gain competence. Truly appreciated!

[bobgordon]

Best simplest explanation of cutting crown molding I have seen!

[lisaespenshade]

Spent one comical evening trying to figure out how to put up molding around a bookcase...and then watched your video and it all meant sense. Your specific language sets you apart from everyone else. Thank you!

[msmary]

This is the best video I've ever watched on this topic. You actually make me feel confident. I'm going to cut my outside corner now!

[wormfighter]

I watched 4 other videos on how to cut a outside corner on crown molding, they all went too fast and even after watching the videos I was still unsure of how to do it. I wish I had watched yours first. This was by far the best explanation of how to cut crown molding. THANKS!!

[d.dubois]

The best and simplest way I’ve ever been taught, thank you so much for teaching where it’s crystal clear, greatly appreciated

[ericboraca]

I watched plenty of videos before yours and after doing so I went to work!! Thank YOU!! You explained simply without going on and on and complicating things like many other videos. YOU ROCK!!

[kenj]

I could NOT have done it without your patient explanation! I built in a bookcase floor to ceiling and the outside joint with the crown molding is the best part!
