Amazing! Explains in 10 min what most other youtubers can't explain in 3 hrs.

[@glenbutler9611]

Thank you Paul for your time saving, practical, angle-cutting hacks! I'm a retired teacher who has found DIY projects like installing crown molding an absolute delight! You're easy to follow and I can replay your videos when needed as a show as you go tutorial 👍🏼

[@customcraft1]

Before retiring, I was a carpenter/ cabinet maker 47 years, You sir just proved that you can teach an old new tricks. Very nice video, you gained my subscription.Thanks for doing this.

[@jeffmacfawn8380]

As a painting contractor I occasionally am requested to put in a piece of crown moulding. Now after 30 years you have just taught me how to cut the angles very easily. Thank you Paul!

[@seanmayo206]

[@hangingman1]

My grandpa was the one that taught my dad how to do the jig you made. And me with no experience have used the old jig with great results and saving me lots of $'s in installations of the Crown molding. Nice to see some old fashioned carpentry tricks!

[@Rdebeauvoir1]

Paul, you are smart, easy to follow instructions, and the reason I am writing "smart" besides all the good instructions, you are the only one that cut the noise out you video, when you were cutting the crown molding pieces, you have spared our ears to live a bit longer, so we don't loose hearing at older age:). Thanks!

[@rl6040]

I have been watching DIY videos for quite a few years now and i cant even begin to tell you how much trouble you saved me. I consider this video my best watched and informative video ever. Super simple instructions helped made my crown molding job easy. Thank you.

[@coolhluke8089]

DUDE !!!!!!! THIS IS BAD ASS! I USED TO HATE CROWN! flip flopping the saw around...... This jig ROCKS! And it's quick. I use a grinder and flap wheel to cope and we flew through this house! Thank you

[@timothycormier3494]

Great video man! I’ve been a carpenter for almost 25 years now. I’ve always just held my crown in place by hand. Ya know. Sometimes it slips a little and moves. Sucks right. That’s a great little jig you got there. Not to mention. It can save money on bad cuts. Thanks man!!

[@kzaith]

You've been a carpenter for 25 years and haven't bought a set of crown clamps yet?

[@christophergerakoulias5623]

Oh man the way you explain the math makes it very understandable, the angles make it a little overwhelming. Thanks so much God bless

[@luisbrazilva]

Dude! You’ve cracked the biggest mystery with this tool. Seriously, I’ve done two rooms with this contraption and it looks like a pro did it! No more “making up the gap with a 3” caulk line” haha

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Luis!

[@danfiorini785]

I’ve done two crown molding projects in my house now. Two of the most frustrating projects. Caulk turned about to be the MVP in both ordeals

[@ramonhunter3985]

I want to thank you for posting this video. The jig I made for my crown work perfectly. The experience I had last time gave me nightmares. This has given me confidence to take on any crown-molding project.

[@geraldinebuchin6713]

You're awesome!!! I'm a woman but I like to watch and learn these things. I'll have to watch it more.

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

Remember people, to get a blade with a 60+ tooth count, as it will make the cut smoother. The quality of your chop saw will also be evident very quickly when those angles start adding to 180 degrees. It might be beneficial to build an additional mitre precision fence, by placing a thin board down on your cutting bed, and pre-cut all your most common angles into it. Do not make a backing board that fits along the back like in some videos, your mitre is build with precision that your DIY boards barely reach. Then you can align all your cuts to the cut line without a sweat. You make it look easy Paul.

[@paulstoolbox]

That is very good advice Martin. Thanks for sharing!

[@bondo1955]

I did auto body for 40 yrs always wanted to do carpentry but never had the balls to make the transition ❤️your vids and talent✊

[@keywestpuma4095]

Awesome video, I am one of the Diy'ers you spoke of, I have seen other videos on crown molding mostly confusing. I am certain i can cut crown molding now using your jig and your tips!~! Thanks!!! You simplified it alot.

[@shaynesabala]

Holy crap brother, you made something so complicated so simple, thank you.. I need to save this because I'm about to do the base board in my entire house and I have those rounded corners, I thought they would look great until I got to the point of running base boards. Now I'm good, you saved me a ton of time and I thank you for that.

[@NGHTRYDR2002]

Wow... YOU Sir Just saved me a world of frustration! Always HATED doing crown. Dreaded it in fact. It’s one of those rare projects DIY’’ers may only do once or twice in a lifetime and it is way too confusing trying to figure out the compound cuts when you lay the crown flat on a miter. And when it’s something a person like me doesn’t do enough to “just know” , figuring it out becomes a monumental PAIN IN THE ASS! with lots of mistakes and wasted material. Thanks! Excellent video!!!

[@martimasters7704]

If you write down beforehands the angle of the saw tilt and the angle on deck left or right, then you won't screw it up because the wood is always laid flat. It's also helpful to note if the waste (the part of the board you don't keep) falls to the left or right of the saw blade. The only thing I don't like about compound mitre saws is that you must make a jig for short cutrs, because the tilt of the saw just makes it too damn dangerous to hold the wood and clamping isn't always an option. Personally, I find tilting the trim against the fence and cuting down straight on a non-compound mitre saw leaves more room for error and can splinter the wood on complex trim. But it also depends on the size of your saw, how it's mounted (mine sits on the floor), how good the blade is, and what kind of wood you're using.

[@ckeller07]

I've cut crown a number of different ways as an amateur. The Jig Is drop dead simple. Love it

[@GetRealwithMike]

Paul, I have to rebuild my entire kitchen. I'm making my own cabinets and , yes, the crown is going to be added at the top. The wife insists. Had so many issues installing drown around the ceiling. This is going to make it much easier. can't wait to build the jig. Thanks.

[@michaelm5601]

Paul, I really appreciate your videos. You are a good instructor. I am installing lighted crown molding in a room that has 5 corners. The jig you made will help me to calculate the two corner that are not 45’ degree angles. I look forward to seeing more of you helpful videos. Thank you Paul.

[@livemusic8248]

Gotta love KZbin shop class from the pros. I work as finish/trim carpenter (S.E.) from auto interiors to homes trim and cabinets or built in's my shortcoming is crown molding have very little experience most homes don't have it.

[@barbarianatgate2000]

Very cool jig! I can see a lot of applications for that. But the problem with installing crown (that I've come across anyway) isn't so much about the transitions you make with the molding itself. More often, it's the fact that very few construction jobs leave the walls true. What looks like a 90 degree corner is usually a few degrees out of square, or one wall doesn't sit true the ceiling. Obviously, fillers and caulk come into play. The builder my wife used before we married actually had a door jam that not only curved (not slanted, actually curved) from bottom to top, but the face of it also twisted. Molding and casings were not an option. I have a 3 step method for when you run into jobs like that. 1) Take a 4 foot long piece of 2x4 2) Find the jackass builder who built the place. 3) Whack him repeatedly until you feel better.

Okay, do it with 8 inch clear walnut that costs $25 a foot. You are gonna need one big miter saw, or learn how to do it properly.

[@bunberrier]

I wish I had watched this before I was almost finished adding crown molding to a huge lanai. I always had the back of the molding facing the fence and base of the saw, for stability, and was constantly switching back and forth from 45 to 45 and flipping pieces over the get the correct compound angle. I got dyslexia quite a few times and had to recut. The jig holds things as they are actually going on the wall, which helps visualize the correct angles. Oh well... maybe next time. Thanks for the education.

[@yveswalker640]

You are great teacher thank you for sharing your expertise. I make the . with 5 :16 aluminium the other jig instead of I put a sliding 5:16 bolt for adjustment ..

[@charlesslocumjr1693]

Simple as turning things around. Bedding crown upside down and backwards is the best way to cut crown but when doing larger crown it may exceed the height of the miter saw fence. This jig solves that problem. Why’d I never think of that !

[@cheyneturbyfill4727]

Pro: you can see the short point of your measurements which is where you will most likely be cutting to Con: tear out is always on the backside so better be keeping a sharp blade handy This is why it is typically best to nest crown against the fence. Same principle applies si that you can reverse the jig just remover to keep your crown upside down

[@raymondpontremoli2489]
