DIY Crown Molding For Vaulted Ceilings: Easy Cut & Install | Paul Ricalde

[@JSTEVES27]

Hey Paul, I had to get on here and drop you a comment. I always scour the internet for more knowledge and I have never come across someone who thoroughly explains and shows every little detail like you do. After stumbling across one of your videos, I went to your channel and watched every single one from the beginning until your latest one. Let's just say the wife wasn't too pleased that I was paying more attention to you rather than her over the past few days! I've gained so much more knowledge these past couple days through your videos than any other channel on KZbin so far! I can definitely tell you have a lot of experience under your belt and I appreciate that you are trying to help everyone else like me to learn more as you upload each video. You're the 2nd person on KZbin I've ever felt a need to leave a comment for, and the other person was in a totally different field (automotive), so for me to find the one person I literally appreciate in construction enough to leave this comment goes to show that you really have helped me so much throughout your videos. I hope you continue to upload new content with your knowledge because I built my wife and I's house ground up 2 years ago and would have loved to know your channel back then! I had to learn everything on my own from obscure teachings, nothing compared to what you provide in your videos. Luckily for me, I am building a shed and wanted to get a few more insights into the matter and came across one of your old videos (2014 I believe), and that's when I went on a binge watch of your whole channel. You have most certainly gained a new subscriber and dedicated follower to your channel. I can't wait to see what else is in store next and hope this message receives you well. Afterthought, my parents are both disabled and both have had accidents in the shower, so when I saw your video about remodeling your mother's bathtub, it definitely peaked my interest and will look further into the company in order to install this for them. Thank you again for all your insight! By the way, love the stang and the vette! I recently was gifted my dad's a few years back, 98 vette with 20k original miles. Love the thing to death!

[@reggieholguin7907]

Lol good one

[@tiotheberk]

Perfect simple and no bs. Great job my man!!! I was trying to explain this over the phone, but showing this video is so much easier!!

[@EmpireRiSing]

So where the next video at to make it run horizontally into that?

[@mdprogamer94]

Did you ever figure how to do that?? Lol

[@gmccoy27]

Wondering the same thing

[@NicoProv]

You are the man. Absolute best video on vaulted crown molding cuts. I was racking my brain on the mitre saw with how to make this cut upside down as all other cuts are made. Then I realized it's not possible as it's mitred as in inside cut with the top longer like an outside cut. Next was figuring out that my crown guard must change to accept the new " nested" position of the crown right side up against the mitre saw fence. You confirmed this all for me perfectly. All these other vaulted angle videos are not covering these crucial things needed to make this happen start to finish. You killed this! Thankyou

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Nico, I really appreciate you buddy!

[@JeremiahNichol]

Automatically saved this before watching. That's how much I hate crown molding and how much I appreciate your channel.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Jeremiah, you are a good man. Have a good night buddy!

[@lonestarfestival]

Hi Paul. I appreciate this demo. (I'm going to get one of those miter saw protractors so I don't have to calculate!) It confirmed my accidental discovery that you have to cut the peak on a vaulted cathedral ceiling with the molding right side up. You mentioned at 5:15 minutes that you were going to do another video on how to get the horizontal pieces for the vaulted ceiling. Where is that? I cannot find.

[@PassTheBrockly]

Same here, I am also looking for that horizontal integration video for peak cuts video

[@greglawrence742]

another gem paul! i cannot wait for the horizontal merge cut video. driven myself nuts trying to figure that out!

[@paulstoolbox]

Thanks Greg, I will try to get it out soon. I have to get surgery in 2 weeks so I plan on doing the video before then. Have a good night buddy!

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi Greg, unfortunately I have not able to get this video out as soon as I wanted. I’m dealing with cancer so I had surgery in Houston at MD Anderson last week. I should be back before too long but I want to explain to you a little bit about how to do the horizontal. I am going to give you the easiest way. First do you rate cut just like I said it will be right side up instead of upside down and backwards. You will make the bottom cut going into the wall to where it sits flush against the wall. This cut will look like an outside cut with a long point will be at the bottom of the crown and it will sit flush against the wall. This is very important! Always Cope your horizontal piece into your rake if you are going to cope. If you try to do the opposite way they will not match.The smaller the crown the easier this is to do because the thickness of the crown will make your horizontal piece kick off the wall a tiny bit. With small ground you can caulk the bottom and it will match. I don’t wanna confuse you so I would have to show the other steps in a video. I will show tips on how to make all of this work but unfortunately I’m a little under the weather right now. Thanks and I will do my best to get this together soon.

[@pattyf3984]

Thank you Paul. Hope all is well. Will you be doing the follow up video for a wall coming out horizontally in the near future? I'm stumped on how to do that. Patty

[@robertbuckner6154]

Been waiting for you to get back here. Great video.

[@PEDRO67552]

The "entirely other angle" that you speak of @ around 6:24. Do you have a video for that ??

[@keithfountain881]

Thank you for simplifying this, great video!

[@paulstoolbox]

Thanks Keith, I really appreciate that!

[@nbidnm]

I've been looking for a video on this for a long time.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time for me!

[@SandiRose2008]

Another video just for us Dummies! 🤣 I'm honored!! 🤣🤣 You're such a great teacher, Paul, but then I think I've told you that before! Here's hoping all is well with you. Thank you for the video!

[@paulstoolbox]

Good morning Sandi, I was on the fence about the title. I didn’t want to insult anybody, I just thought it might make people think it is easy so they would watch it. It was always great hearing from you, I look forward to seeing your comments! Have a great weekend and God Bless!

[@Masdyl1319]

Another outstanding video brother. Just what I need to do on my vaulted ceiling

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Starno 103, I really appreciate you taking the time for me!

[@thefleurtations460]

You saved me today!! Thanks Paul

[@happysteele]

Thank you for the great video. You mentioned in this video about another one showing how to do 90 degree angles to a vaulted crown side. I couldn't find it. Could you please reply with a link to the video as it would be really helpful? Thank you.

[@crpgap9595]

Waiting on that next video to do the step out!!! Geaux Tigers!

[@daffydavidyt]

Good video as usual. Crown is a little ways off for me, currently installing hardwood throughout the main floor. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@nehemias10]

Hey Paul, I am doing a big job where their wants to put crown molding 4" 1/2 over the fascia (looks like rake molding. the pitch is 14/12, what is the right cuts on this areas where make the transition hip areas and turn to the gable? 14/12 pitch... thanks

[@hondaaccord3491]

You back.

[@paulstoolbox]

Not all the way back but working on it. I’ve been dealing with a few issues and one of them is cancer but I will be back in full swing when I beat this. Thank you for sticking with me I really appreciate it!

[@sween187]

A tiny back bevel can help, means the faces will push up against eachother with no gap. Super video 👍

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Sweeney 7, have a good night buddy!

[@shawndare8844]

Paul i have tow scenerio's where i am sutck trying to fgure out to cut the crown. I have avalulted celing comes down and goes to wall. I have the peaak cut figured out but where comes to the adjacent flat wall i have a bay window that goes back and the ceiling is flat where the crown goes. So i want to stop the crown before the bay windows. I also have in the same room a peak cut that comes down to a bisecting angle from the ceiling that the is going up on the cieling. I am attaching photos to provide better idea. Please let me know if you know how i can make these work.

[@dannypiercesr]

Thank you Paul , very informative

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Danny I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[@AmericanBuilder]

Another great video… And a great cars Way to go Paul… I have to be honest with you I still don’t know how to do it…but I’ll have you come up and do it😂

[@paulstoolbox]

You are the man Brian! You probably forgot more than I will ever know.

[@reggieholguin7907]

Did you build that shed in background?

[@donest5037]

Great video, waiting on the next video! When is it coming out?

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Paul. 👍🏻

[@GreenAppelPie]

It took me a little bit to figure out the miter saw protractor to be honest. But using it makes all my trim pieces fit perfectly the first time

[@paulstoolbox]

Yeah it does speed up a job! Thanks and have a good night!

[@1875michael]

What's the deal with the stainable primer? You know, the 2 vids you did about 6 years ago. Could you please let us know specifically where to purchase this product? Is there a website? What big retailers sell this? I've tried Amazon, but to no avail. Is this product still being manufactured?

[@paulstoolbox]

Good morning Michael, Stainable primer dropped the ball. I was very disappointed with the company because I tried to contact them numerous times without even a phone call back, but another company picked it up and is doing very well with it. If you look up Retique it Liquid Wood you will find what you are looking for. This is a reputable company that took over the product and have improved it. This company also sells well-known chalk paint on Amazon. I have purchased many of their products and have been very satisfied. If I can answer any other questions please let me know, please keep in mind I am going through some medical issues right now so I may not get back to you immediately, I am battling cancer for the second time but no worries I’ll be back. Have a good day!

[@lamoe11]

always learn, thank you.

[@mdprogamer94]

Sooooo where's the next video?? I'm stuck with the crown as I have a peak ceiling but there was furnace installed after and now have a square box in one corner and I can't figure out the cut! Please help 😅

[@gBayCanada]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Mike, I really appreciate you!

[@chrisw7402]

Re 5.18 where is your video to add horizontal pieces please?

[@prayinggrandmothers734]

Thank you

[@chuehueyang143]

Where's the next video that goes with this one?!

[@Macmike510]

where’s the part 2?

[@ribbledean4111]

Wouldn’t you wanna no how to do the math? Cuz I no I would, but man I’ll look up that go fund me, thanks Paul, your tips are very helpful an impressive an I use them sometimes!

[@paulstoolbox]

Good morning Dean, I definitely recommend learning how to use a protractor if you are a carpenter but the average DIYer is better off keeping it simple. I show the math in a quick segment. Subtract your protractor reading from 180 ( Straight Line) and you get your proper angle. You then bisect the angle to get your miter cut.. I didn't want to lose peoples interest by giving a math lesson LOL( I never liked math myself) . I really appreciate you watching, I am trying to get the word out for my friend! God Bless you and your family!

[@ribbledean4111]

@@paulstoolbox thanks for your service sir, I didn’t no you were a fire fighter! Mad respect to u an all them other guys you work with!! Yes I am a carpenter an gonna to look into one of the protractors you had for my partner cuz he struggles sometimes with angles, they can confuse the normal joe, very easily, I’m sure you had guys working with you that were like this at one point or another!

[@paulstoolbox]

@@ribbledean4111 LOL I was one of those guys, I didn't know how to swing a hammer properly when I first started! Have a great weekend and thanks again my friend!

[@easypainterslondon]

good info always find this cutting messy

[@npsagges]

But how do you do crown on actual cathedral ceilings like in a room??

[@paulstoolbox]

I am showing how to cut peak crown the proper way in this video, I wanted you to see up close how this is done. I plan on doing videos that will show all aspects of cathederal crown but unfortunately I had 2 major surgeries in the last 4 months. I am dealing with cancer for the second time so for now I will cover topics that I can video for now. I do have videos in my crown playlist that cover installing crown. I hope they will help for now. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Have a good day!

[@hondaaccord3491]

Hey paul..how I can.donate.for the baby.

[@AmericanBuilder]

The last time I did my own crown I had to buy a 5 gallon bucket of wood filer

[@paulstoolbox]

Thats a good one brother but you forgot that we have done crown together. You probably forgot more than I will ever know! Thanks Brian!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Who runs crown down a wall vertically?

[@paulstoolbox]

Sometimes for insets or furniture. I just wanted to show how to cut for different angles. It’s always better to know more than less😎

[@michaelrussell499]

Mine isn’t a peak ceiling. Has a 1 foot straight section at the top

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi Michael, I will put together different scenario's so you will see what best fits your situation. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@michaelrussell499]

@@paulstoolbox I’m crowning the hole house. Using two piece method. Using base molding on wall with the crown. Looks super. Well wife likes it. Thanks for your videos. You’ve helped a lot on my projects!

Yes I’m back, I had a few setbacks but nothing I can’t handle. I really appreciate you sticking with me. Thank you!

[@anon.cashpoorloser5285]

This video is good for pentagonal ceilings but doesn't illustrate cutting for 'vaulted-ceiling'. Who would have crown run down the walls to the floor? The correct cut should run along the eave site of the building.

[@edwardarata6995]

You're using the crown as casing.

[@MikeGAYHART-wq4oq]

Not one thing about a vaulted ceiling!!!
