As someone who got into the trades later in life videos like this from true professionals are priceless. Cant wait for the next installments. Feel lucky because prior to the internet and pages like yours, you only learned from those around you. Now the progression or time needed to be skilled has shortened and knowledge base grown. One of the best trim channels out there thank you for your time it is greatly appreciated.

This is THE BEST video I've seen on production crown installs.

[johnrose]

The best on YouTube, as a DIYer and hobbyist woodworker your videos help me look like a professional. I appreciate the detail in your videos and insight!

[Karbonthirteen]

This is a great tutorial all around. Really appreciate that early on you listed which tools you have on your belt when you are installing crown.

You literally nailed everything I do every day... LOL
People think I'm crazy for doing everything you just covered. But, the result is perfection.

[elpatronzapata]

As a professional painter, I always know when a guy knows how to do crows, baseboards, and all Mouldings!!! And you look like one of them!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[AlohaKanaka]

This channel is better than my carpenters apprenticeship! Sweet, simple, efficient and to the point! Can’t thank you enough, Aloha 🤙🏽

I used to be intimidated by crown, but I've been watching a lot of Spencer's videos along with a couple other guys and I've been getting solid, right miters and copes. The information and pointers spencer gives are clear, well explained and fairly easy to follow. Guys like this are a blessing to the trade for sure

I wish I'd have watched this before tackling my first crown molding installation. It would've saved me a lot of frustration, and I would've been able to get it done much faster. You make it look super easy.

[johnvalenzuela]

Dude...you are beyond amazing. Perfection and beyond. Your ability to explain precisely is impressive. I think a home improvement show is in your future. You are Bob Villa, Norm Abrahm, and Tim Taylor all in one. Thanks for all the info

Easily one of the best crown videos on YouTube

Just wanted to share with you I have been using your videos as reference for installing trim and crown in my 3400sqft house. Had to fire our GC who left us over budget. I have been working on my house for 4 months now, I have a 6 month old that is motivating me to build faster. I had to cut cost and trimming out was something I could handle. Considering your level of tools, and materials, your videos have been able to help me approach this in a fast manner, and help me figure out why my cuts are not totally straight like a tenth of a degree every now and then (already calibrated saw, leveled my rollers, it was the bow in the trim that was doing it.

All in all thank you for videos.

update - just installed my crown molding. i forgot about this video. Due to a million other factors plus my own setup, crown was a PIA and it did not come out nice, but oh well. such is life when you are thrown in the wheel of building your own house. Too bad i only did crown in the living room and you can see the results got better the further i went around the room. lol also, major pain in the ass to do this after texture and paint have been applied to the walls

Top notch advice, and no echo, very thorough, thank you, best I have seen.😊.

[optionz.trader]

The best crown molding video I found on YouTube. I did all mine and I wish I saw this first. It would have helped me a lot. Great tips and tricks.

[jerryc]

Yet another great entry to your channel.
I like to cut my gauge block with the same projection as the crown down and out. I then cut out the corner that would go into the ceiling /wall corner so that the guage is touching where the crown touches, and isn't thrown off by drywall mud buildup - especially in corners. Thanks again for your channel - always look forward to new segments.

[jeremycooper]

I’ve been installing crown for over a decade and I picked up a few new tricks here. Awesome job as usual. Can’t wait for part 2

[jesserhodes]

great vid Spencer. as a fellow tradesman you are the real deal and a born teacher. thank you for all you share.

[IDLH-jkow]

Finally got a chance to watch the whole vid. Your work is amazing, but I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to explain what your doing and put these videos together for our benefit. I know that takes a lot of time away from the job but I can’t thank you enough. I’m looking forward to part 2 and I’d love to see you talk about how you got into trim work and how you learned so much for such a young guy.

[stevenboudreaux]

Outstanding video! Did a lot of carpentry work in my younger days, but not very much crown. Getting ready to install 5 1/2 crown in my house. Thank you Spencer for being so detailed.

[garrettlund]
