I really wanted to say thank you. I am a 24 year old woman and my mom went missing in 2018, my dad doesn't know ANYTHING about owning a home or construction and so cannot teach me anything either. Me and my boyfriend bought a home and I would be completely lost without your videos for guidance. Truly. It's so weird because you've become like my second dad but you don't even know me!! Well I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do

My uncle-in-law's favorite trick to install crown molding is to cut everything quick and hope the angles were right, then smear in copious amounts of caulk to hide the fact none were right, and then hope no one notices. An easy 3-step process.

Love the Dewalt saw mounted to a Milwaukee stand! When starting the crown, I like to select an area with multiple small pieces that I can handle easily. Dry fit them to make sure the cuts are accurate. Then assemble a few pieces down on a flat surface like a table in order to align the joints. Use super glue and activator to keep the seams clean and tight. Then you can put the assembly up as one piece using the caulk to fill any wavy imperfections between the wall and the long edge of the crown. Significantly reduces the need to caulk the joints and makes the overall appearance look seamless. The glue does not readily crack because the joints are stronger than the actual trim regardless if you use MDF or real wood.

I think a quick refresher on measuring the inside/outside corner angle and then showing how to make the cuts to form the measured angle is due. Can't always assume the corners are 90 degrees. Otherwise, you'll end up with trim that looks like what you'd see in my workplace's conference rooms and hallways.

Jeff! I installed this MDF crown in my midwest home a few years ago and all of the joints have split on me. Face nailed into thick wood paneling, top nailed into joists, and the joints were all decently matched. Just a lot of expansion and contraction I guess. Any tips for repairing and/or prevention? Multi-tool the joints out and pack them with Alex Ultra?

quick question is this method more accurate then setting the saw to 31.6 and bevel to 33.9?

@T_Jonesy Жыл бұрын

Making cuts on a short board works with the marked tape, but when you start getting into long pieces of crown, it's almost impossible to hold the wood (or MDF) flat against the fence. Crown stops are so worth it. Also, I understand that you were doing this for demonstration purposes, but it seems to me it would be easier to drop in the rope light above the 2x2 piece of wood prior to installing the crown. Overall, very helpful video.

@aaronb1138 Жыл бұрын

Also easier for the apprentice to put a finish nail through the rope light if it's already up. Plus if it's not the adhesive strip stuff, the rope style stuff gets all kinds of attitude about laying straight after a long trip across the Pacific in a tight spiral, so it gets in the way a LOT.

aww man we always painted the moulding first and then the seams we cut the crown upside down and backwards flat faced at a 45 degree angle using a triple chip blade so the painted side doesn't chip, away from wherever the light is coming from in the house, so that when you calk and touchup paint you will never see a seam.. but my way is just way too confusing.
