I’m a carpenter from the U.K. and I fit skirting boards and crown Mouldings often but this video is honestly the best to explain how it’s done properly. I use a jigsaw with a scribing blade rather than a coping saw but same thing applies. Thought it was great how you showed up close and explained clearly. Great video bud

He flipped this video on his iPhone and we watched and WOW was I impressed. He said he learned that technique from His Dad 60 years ago and has done it that way ever since.

It's a pro technique. If you're installing this every day or week, sure. Most joints will be tight enough to where either paint or a little caulk smoothed out will go unnoticed. It's not a big deal to adjust your angle if you have corners that are way out of the 90 perspective. If you do this for a living and are doing it on high profile jobs in other houses, I would see this being a frequent technique

As a carpenter I was taught to pull the saw up, not like he is using it by pushing down. Of course you have to put the blade in the other way. Here's an excellent video on how to cope with a jigsaw. This yoiung man was taught the trade properly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprIm4ppnMqVqs0

Thank you. Finally an explanation I can understand. You're the first one to explain "why" you need to make a back cut. Thank you for giving me that "light bulb" mental moment. Now not only do I know what is meant by "back cut", but now I know why some people say 30 degrees, others say 35, and still others say 45. It doesn't matter exactly what the angle is, just that there is a back cut of some kind so there's no material to interfere or prevent the front of the board from mating along the contours of the other board it's joining to. Excellent.

30+ years of new home trimming I used this method. Today you will see guys using disk sanders which if you have all day to do the job and are artistic, it may be fine. Piece work doesn't allow for such things along with the patience. Most coping saws sold today, IMHO, have not enough teeth per inch for an easy cut so I find more teeth per inch are worth the money. Great job, sir.

I used to like to take a cut-off of the moulding I was coping and cover it with adhesive backed sandpaper. This way if I needed to adjust a cope I could use the sandpaper covered scrap as a sanding block/ profile sander. The thickness of the paper didn't alter the profile negatively.

30 years experience as a carpenter here. The sand paper is an excellent trick. I use it all the time. I'm currently running stain grade base throughout a house right now so no caulk to hide slight imperfections. The sandpaper trick prevents slight imperfections completely.

Carpenter for 21 years here. Basically you're correct. One thing I'd modify is the angle of your back cut on MDF. It doesn't leave much on that leading edge. Tends to break away easy. Change it up to 10-20° instead. Go 45 on hardwood/poplar. Last...the direction of the blade in the coping saw I and many other guys have the other way where it cuts as you pull. But that's one of those things that can be done as you see fit. As long as it works thats all that matters in the end.

Formula Firebird - glad to be of help to you. One facet of molding installation that we didn't cover in this video is if the corner is out of square the "other way", that is one wall is intersecting the other running uphill or downhill to it. So, that would not open or close the gap as shown in the video, but would either open or close the profile at the top or the bottom of the molding. To address this, which happens a lot in historical homes, the cut to create the profile itself has to greater or smaller than 90°. A carpenters trick is to create a set of "pitch blocks" that include 87, 88, 89, 91, 92 and 93 degrees. Then you can set the block in the corner to gauge what the angle is and set your saw accordingly. We'll do a future video on this as well just in case this is not clear to you. If you are not a subscriber, be sure to subscribe so you'll get the notification. Best Regards - DFJ

This is the best way. Some customers insist we miter the inside corners and we do what we can to talk them out of it. 😁 In our company we use a jig saw with a scribing blade. It is very quick and works every time.

Great instructional, one item you forgot ro mention is the moulding still needs the inside corner mitre cut to set the profile up for cope. But i agree, its a great way to obtain tight-looking corners.

I do almost all this except I have the saw cut on the pull. I find pushing that tiny little blade can flex, where as a pull you have excellent control

Nice video Jay. I saw some videos carpenter fixers were using an accessory for a cordless jigsaw to cope moulding etc. So your video came up in my feed. Years ago I did a job with my brother who is a carpenter setting skirting. I had bought a kapex mitre saw. The mitre saw has an attachment that reads angles. So I set the angle on the places I needed to cut and set the angle of the mitre saw accordingly. I guess the Germans and festool think of things more thoroughly and build their tools all around each other to been compatible. I'm just wondering if many Carpenters or anyone fixing crown moulding etc use this method or resort to coping like you demonstrated. Thanks for spending your time presenting this video. I notice how skilled you are and at times you worked so fast I'm amazed at your speed. Did you have to clean up using a file? Actually I like using a file for shaping. Since I'm a plasterer that's all we do is shaping so our skills are tuned for this type of application .

I'm a master carpenter with 43 years experience and this is how I was trained to do inside corners. I still do it like this today. However, I have a compound miter saw and cut my crown molding flat now. Ain't technology great!
