I’ll admit to being old fashioned. It pains me to watch you make such perfect woodwork with such beautiful hardwood and then paint it. I know what is in style right now and that is some of the finest finish woodwork l’ve seen. Fantastic work.

That was interesting. I've made my own custom moldings before to match the antique moldings in a house I did an addition on, but I bought the crown moldings, because none of the existing Crown moldings matched from room to room in the original house anyways . I noticed that you like to spray the final coat before you install. Which I never did, I would just prime it good, then install, fill the nail holes and seems, and then brush on the final coat, which when it was done it looked like it was sprayed on anyways because it didn't show brush marks. Anyways, that's how I used to do it. Even if there were defects which there weren't, people don't stare at Crown moldings on the ceilings to notice anyways.

I built my house in 1983, which actually means in 2023 I still have things to finish up. The crown moulding project looks great. In my mind the best thing about a project like that is the self-satisfaction component, something those who hire a contractor will never know😊.

Showing us the real world issues to set-up and correctly get the results you are going for is amazing. As you said, you could have gone and bought "stock" molding, but it is not what you and your wife wanted. Your career has given you reasons to have many of the tools needed to get the results you want, it is significant financially and experience wise. My rambling is meant to say "You are impressive in the use of your gained knowledge to work your way through these challenges". That is something many of us would like to have as well. Continued congrats on the house and the admiration of looking back on it as a product of your family's minds and hands.

Those Wm&Hussey molding machines are the nuts for getting the moldings just the way you want them. We had quality issues with the local trim suppliers so we bought our own W&H. With 97 different profiles in the house, we had to have a lot of knives made.(Most were similar to stock profiles but 50% larger - 13' ceilings, so normal profiles looked "wimpy".) We ended up making "sleds" for guides - a sheet of luan with the side rails glued on. It made switching between profiles a LOT faster.

To me this is the most useful video of the series. Now I know a lot more about the characteristics and quirks of one of those moulding machines. You must have been filling your chip collector pretty regularly with that big moulding knife.

@lunhil12 6 ай бұрын

Cut angles on the fence edges to match the back cuts to keep the stock from rolling, the rollers will hold it down. I'd hog out some of that waste on the face to ease the load on the cutter. Your custom moldings will really add to the fine work and beautiful design of your rooms. The meticulous attention you and Donavan gave to the framing really pays off on a job like this.

I can appreciate your crown molding build. I worked on a historical building in Santa Barbara and had to have knives made to recreate the original trim.

Years ago, and I don't even remember what project I was working on, I made a more simple cove molding using the exceedingly sketchy technique of running the wood across the blade of my table saw set with fences at a diagonal. It worked, and I still have all ten fingers, but I will never try that trick again. Cheaper to buy it. And it isn't exactly good for the saw blade, even with shallow cuts.

I can say comfortably that I will NEVER make crown moulding, but I still watched it. You did such a great job of going through the process. I mean fantastic and you REALLY captured how much time is spent standing at one end or the other waiting for the piece to enter or exit the machine. I made a whole house of just baseboards back in the day. One and done baby!!!! Never again!!! Thank you teacher Matt!!!

Milling up your own lengths also gives you a much crisper end product. The stock stuff at lumber yards always looks like it was cut with dull knives.

@user-ml3yf7pg7g 6 ай бұрын

Great job, Matt. Could you have used a table saw to cut those bevels on the back side? Additionally, you can use the table saw again to cut the cup shape by choosing the correct diameter circular saw and running the board at an skewed angle. And finally, you can use a router to make the details on the bottom edge. That would be your first cut, I suppose 😊😊

@don1031 6 ай бұрын

It is possible to use a table saw or shaper for all of this (a router/shaper is nicer for the edge details as you noted). In my experience using those, the table saw requires A LOT of jig setup to make it seem safe. I much prefer the shaper for it. If I had to do as much as Matt is doing, I would sure be glad to know a friend who had a molder. If I didn't I would be inclined to just buy the molding ready made. IMO, it makes for a great look without all the time and effort. ESPECIALLY if it is being painted.

@@don1031 Yes, buy the molding ready made is the way to go. The molding is non-structural and can be made of recycled composite material that wouldn't warp or shrink. Cheers 😊

I'm a bit surprised at the chatter marks.I've used WH molder for years and have not had much of a problem with the problem you had. It's beed a couple years since the last time I used mine and I don't do a lot of custom millwork anymore. I always do the back with one blade but I did 300 feet minimum and always made my guide beveled to help support the side bevel when doing the face. I also replaced the 2 HP with 5 HP and ran at a higher feed rate. The machine is built like a tank. I specialized in curved molding mostly as there was great money in it.
