@InCombatDaily2 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 .

Damn! The one part of this technique I was struggling with is the miter cut on the crown molding. And the one part you skipped over! Aarg!!!

Dr. David, thanks for the feedback. We plan to do another one with more detail in the future, and I'll make sure to include that detail and approach. If you like, you can contact me at jay@dirtfarmerjay.com and we can discuss more detail or do a call that could help you more. Best, DFJ

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!

Thanks for your insights jason krohmer. We try to show techniques that use basic tools for those who are just getting started and may not have power tools. (Yes, technology is GREAT!) Best, DFJ

@@DirtFarmerJay Like many others here, I dig what you're doing. People who are never going to do this for a living still should access to these common and useful techniques.
