[@flowrider5082]

I love the amount of simple detail you provide (sometimes called dumbing down). For us beginners, it’s a lifesaver and work saver.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Wolf, not everything in life is rocket science, just hard to get info on. Glad to help

Great Attitude. I have been a carpenter for 15 years and I learned a lot.

[@yvonnepinckney9382]

I understand the DIY hazards! A shelf fell off the wall while I was hammering the opposite wall and cold cocked my nose bridge! Didn't think I needed goggles to hammer a nail. Good video!😎

[@ItsUreBoy446]

Best home renovation channel on KZbin hands down!!!! Thanks for all the quality content!!!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Chris, we do our best, appreciate thew comment

[@Bigredkarl]

i agree with Chris

[@carpenter1138]

Except they don't care about safety.

[@carpenter1138]

That said- the videos are otherwise great, People - put on some safety glasses - Love, Mom

[@thehillbillymac]

Great video! I totally respect any man that tells it like it is, not trying to hide things, every piece of wood is not the same size or shape, some even have almost 45 degree bends in them, thus the need for picking out your own wood, and even then it's hard to find good straight lumber. That is what the caulking is for and thank God for it! I respect you for telling it like it is and not making excuses, just stating the facts. Great Channel and you have a great personality, nobody is perfect down here on this earth, He left 2018 years ago and will return soon.....God Bless you and your family and keep the awesome videos coming...the only thing you could do better is add a little more of your natural humor....I can tell you can be a funny guy, and people would flock to your channel even more if you let that humor really shine through....it's not the destination, it's the process....have fun with it.....enjoy woodworking.....laughing and goofing off makes time go faster and can brighten someone's day....thanks again, Mike...

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Mac, will try to let my hair down more often. Cheers!

[@williamguillIII]

I see you definitely have an eye for detail!

[@russell311000]

Good one, I came to learn but I can't stop laughing from these comments.

Oh man I'm freaking crying from laughing

[@michaelmiller6847]

''You're just going to have to be good with your caulk'' That is some fine wisdom there sir!

I live by it!

[@mirandarebornbabymaker212]

Your video is easier to understand than the others I've seen. Thanks for your videos!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Miranda!

[@bezzaxdiy]

i have seen lots of diy videos, you are the best. simple explanation, relax and done. Well done sir

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you Sir.

[@TheApfelgold]

Hello, I don't know exactly how I found your channel, -probably through YT algorithms- but I'm very glad I did! I myself are semi- knowledgeable in many DIY fields, but when I have a specific job on hand I always check some YT videos on that subject. In those cases I often notice how many - let's say- mediocre instructional vids are around: from amateur guys that let you witness their own first effort, to guys that just parrot some other guy, to actual professionals who do show but don't explain what they're doing and why, to guys that film vertically with their phone, and/or scream over the top of their circular saw, or they speak a weird kindbof English - if at all- and so on and so on... Your vids on the contrary always have actual and proper instructions, you're obviously very knowledgeable, for you can actually explain what you do and why, and your 'secrets' are actually tips that I couldn't have come up with just my simple plain logic but that take experience, which you obviously have. Also, you seem like a nice guy, which is an extra bonus. Oh, and my comliments also go to the camera person(s)! You wouldn't even notice how good they are, untill you watch some other videos, if you know what I mean. So, thank you all, I subscribed to your channel, shared your vids with friends and colleagues and will keep you as my main (and benchmark) source of reference. Kind regards and greetings from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. 👏

[@aaronpile4259]

Very good and clear explanation,one of the best video teaching skill I have seen so far

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Aaron!

[@mellowman8695]

Thanks for being honest about how the pieces don't always line up

[@tamaramitchell9601]

I wish I'd seen this before I bought a miter gauge. Oh well! Really excellent explanation and I agree that in most cases this is going to be good enough. I have an older house, so I have a feeling things aren't square any more. I've watched 4 different videos on cutting crown molding and each one is different. Yours is the simplest, for sure! Thanks a lot.

[@davidcoleman71]

Once again youve saved my life . these videos have come just at the right time every time ,

[@MtnMan802]

I have always used a scrap piece to help line up corners, but the pre caulking..... i like it!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

helps to keep the bond long term without cracking.

[@yourmomma3132]

Next time your wife says “ get it finished “ just do it.

[@mike6996-]

Your Momma 😂

[@reginanewkirk969]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Gruuvin1]

That red jig looks really convenient, but flimsy, so your wood moves in it, not keeping a consistent 45. It wasn't an inconsistency in the moulding that produced the gap; it was the jig. You can make a proper miter fence with stop guides, and cut the moulding upside down to get perfect joints.

[@eliseovillafan8432]

Really?! You didnt notice anything else in this video???

[@iwayned]

Encourged to try Crown moulding again Thanks

[@teresalauscher1334]

OK I have got to say it! I've been doing my own renovations for many years even building my own home. Mostly I watch these videos because you are adorable LOL

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@labirint-ua]

Went to comments right after saw your EYE ))

[@jamarstennis8155]

Me too .....I'm like he not gone adress his eye

[@tyclute1454]

Third time at least ive watched this video! Crack up everytime, watching the video. Then read the comments and crack up all over again. Love this guy, and his videos!

[@jakob252]

Ahh... can we address the panda in the room?

[@anelbeascochea6427]

Absolutely the best tutorial I have found!!!!!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Absolutely the best comment I have found!!!!

[@anelbeascochea6427]

Would you be able to also do a tutorial on cutting crown molding for outside corners using that same tool?

[@brock8993]

Just a sugestion. When it comes to finish caulking i always use a wet rag to wet my finger and to place excess caulk. On bigher jobs like a whole basement i have a rince bucket to ring it clean as opposed to running to a faucet. And for the nail fill I've come to learn that spackling works best.... If u push it in it actually expands a hair and its the quickest low dust sand. Also better with mdf as it does not swell like heavier water saturated products suck as pink patch (dap) and drywall compound.

[@michaelraduazzo6146]

As always, a video far above the rest. Well done!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Michael, we do our best!

[@stephenbradshaw1939]

I did carpentry work for 3 year. Most of that time i worked for 2 brother that taught me A LOT! They ripped a 2x4 on a 35 to 45 degree angle and nailed it to the framing. Then nailed the crown to the 2x4 with a 16 gauge nailer.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is one way to do it!

[@hogroamer260]

Just ordered the jig! Since my compound miter saw doesn't tilt to the left, I was designed to hiring a contractor. Thanks for the video and you're right, it doesn't need to be perfect, just not noticeable.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

contractor is most likely going to need caulking anyway. Cheers!

[@alext9067]

Excellent. BTW, your the only one I've seen that knows how to lay down a bead of calk. Everyone else is cutting on diagonals and angling the gun. No, no, no. Straight cut and straight in application. Perfect every time. Good video and thank you.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I have tried the angle approach and all you get is a mess everywhere. Thanks!

[@intrinsicwellnessclinic4652]

This was great! I did one room before watching this video and I was going to throw the molding the saw and everything out the window I was so frustrated. After watching this video, I zipped through the other rooms with ease. Thanks!

Humble and wise is a good look for you bro. Thank you again and forget about the losers commenting on you appearance

[@jbb5470]

First time to your channel. Great video and I think I will give this a try. Thank you

[@elmerbolanos6763]

Love your videos man. Has saved me alot of money.

[@dalebell7788]

Love the series!!! Just right for our skill level! In an earlier video you mentioned that you would cover window sills. In a different video you spoke about teaching how to put a sill extension on. Unfortunately, I can't find either video. Please help!!!

[@swiger416]

I ditched the jig some time ago. It takes a little more spatial thinking, but professional results. The fence is the wall.

[@redyumi6441]

Thank you for uploading high quality videos.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

This is what we do. Without max all you would get is another guy holding a phone. We love you Max!!

[@viperv99]

Thank you!! You inspire me to work on my home. 😁

[@mcleodhomeservices]

As a DIY’r, I’m really enjoying watching your videos and learning the tips. Very informative! I’m glad I found your channel! 👍🏼

[@galenmcguire9775]

You're the greatest dude ... I learn so much from you

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Galen, I appreciate your comment. Be sure to watch us every Saturday at 9 est with a new video

[@DJaquithFL]

I clamp 2 pieces of wood on my miter saw as a guide and I don't have those funky ends like you did, everything fits tight. I use the highest quality Sherwin-Williams caulk and the wood filler for the nail holes. In my house the only thing that needs a little attention is a splice joint on a 50' continuous piece of crown. However that pencil line and pre-chalking I'd have to think about. Yeah I live in Florida our humidity levels opening up to the pool cage and Lanai, closing the sliders with 74° F AC .. repeat put an awful strain on any molding.

[@TheBertoberto]

Try the dealt crown stops for your Dewalt saw. they screw right into the sides of the saw. Works super good on furniture crown for cabinets. That universal block you have has too much play, less consistent cuts.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Good idea. Although for the homeowners, the ogee was only 20 bucks.

[@hepburn118]

Really well explained but can you tell me why you cut it in the saw like it will sit on the ceiling? Ceiling side up like that? I'm getting confused by other videos with this upside down and backwards in the saw deal.

[@mokhtaralarami9497]

you are awesome man I love your vedios they make my life easy keep up the good work I'm a fan

[@caleriasand8237]

I feel so much more informed. Im not saying Im ready to attempt this but, Im one step closer than I was 13 minutes ago! Tyvm! You have a new subscriber!

All your videos are great, i've put in my own hardwood, fixtures, crown, baseboard and such and they have been a huge help to me! Thanks and keep them coming!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers , glad to help!

Always enjoy your videos. Did the California patch today. Came out great. Thank you!!

Way to go Ray! awesome to hear. and easier than it looks EH!

Not sure who you were screaming out in the bar last night but that’s a pretty good shiner 😂 on a sidenote what was that red plastic guy called? Where would a guy find one of those? Thanks Ed

Nice professional work ..clean thanks for what you do buddy ....bad ass work keep up the great work you do buddy

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Luna, glad you like the vid!

[@1971player]

Crown molding kicks my ass too!

[@StevenLarkin]

I'm a newbie and really enjoyed learning from you

[@Do_not_neglect23]

Great video! When it comes to manipulating trim grk trim head screws are really good to manipulate baseboard trim etc.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Trim screws are another video altogether.

[@Lrpacheco17]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I will be doing this in my home soon. I have heard from others that mitering the inside corners as opposed to coping will leave them susceptible to gaps and cracks cause by shrinking leaving coping the better option. Curious for your perspective

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

No matter which optiuon you use the gap will exist. If you climatise your products and use an elastomeric caulking. Then either option will work the same.

[@MrNhojstrebor]

Good job joe, and Merry Christmas.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

To you as well.

[@paulthornton9899]

Excellent demonstration. Good thing or I would have had to nail the other eye.

[@michaellmello3933]

Try coping those corners, it will make it a perfect fit!

[@paulk5311]

i had to do that yesterday on a crown corner. corner was not square and i could not get my dummy pieces to match up well so i just butt cut one end and coped the other piece.

[@dondonaldson1684]

Coping is the only way to do this properly! The first pick goes end to end without a cope. The next piece only the left and is coped working to the right. Last is the only double cope. Since this is pine the copes are fast and easy.

[@nirpjeetbawa5103]

Hi , first of all - I just love your videos , very inspiring. I have never done any home renovation projects :) , but I would like to run crown molding in my house. Can you guide me with the exact tools that would suffice to implement such a project - I mean like what kind of MITRE saw would work , nail gun , etc.

[@alvalentine7025]

Very helpful, appreciated the comment about 6 ft. Looks good. Helps in maintaining.ones sanity.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Sometimes If I get a picky client and they point out a tiny scratch in the drywall I ask them to check the rest of the house and if my wall isn't up to that standard then I would be happy to come in and fix the scratch and paint the entire wall again.

[@235kim]

Shouldn't matter what the rest of the house looks like when it comes to the quality of your work

[@timewithsopy]

Black eye got me subscribed. I am willing to pay someone to do crown molding in my new place.

[@nahumhernandez6457]

Came out cool! Thanks for sharing with us , I always see your videos

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you. Glad you like my cheat!

[@davework5922]

Your videos are great and informative. I thought you may have touched on scribed internal cuts and how they eliminate so many misalignment and out of square issues. All the best

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

We will save that for another video. Thanks for watching

[@toms7098]

You make things look easy, I'll do crown now

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That jig makes it soooo easy!

@homerenovisiondiy can you please please do a video on cornices? The more detailed version of these mouldings. Thanks a million. The best personality in this field making the best quality videos. Great talent. Yusuf

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

One day I am sure we will. Cheers!

[@CharlieBear1950]

Great video and it told me what I needed to do - short - to the point. Thank You!

[@johnd9541]

Always best to paint trim first, then install. Especially true if walls and ceiling are already painted, which they should be to save time cutting in prior to trim install.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Hi John I couldn't disagree with you more. That is a waste of time. once you patch the nail holes you will need at least 2 coats to finish. simply paint the finished trim before doing the walls. Cheers!

[@johnd9541]

looking at it as a project, including wall painting, rather than just as a trim job. But, based not just on speed but also final results, paint trim, install trim, caulk,putty and touch up. Even more so in this case because your way you have to cut in the ceiling and cut in the walls vs rolling everything out then installing trim. Cutting takes 10x time and effort per square foot over rolling.

[@jaxsona50]

It looks great!!! Thanks for the content brother. This will definitely go a long way 👍

[@andrewhubert7868]

Are you trying to nail the brad nails to the joint or studs or into the sheetrock? Why caulk with some give you mean silicon rather than acrylic?

[@joedecristoforo5434]

Talk about Home Reno "Vision" Q) ... Just joking - love your videos. hey do your caulking rules apply when you are using the pre-fab mitred corners after the paint is on the walls & ceiling? That is where I am stuck and I don't want to mess up my paint job. Thanks, and keep it up

[@alexill]

Another great video! Won’t be long before you have a show on hgtv. Can you do a video on how to construct a simple yet elegant fireplace mantel/surround?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Will keep the mantle in mind. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@alrene7957]

As always Nice finishing 👍

[@tobin0405]

Yes man🇨🇦 good stuff! Do you have a shop at home? Let’s see it. I’m getting mine together. It’s small but I’m gonna make it work.

Thank you so much. A real learning and great way to explain. The best

Ok honestly 30 seconds in and I have no idea what has been said... I’m literally imagining the different story lines behind the black eye. Good stuff man

[@garygundersen5579]

Do you have a video on drywall texturing?

[@robinthomas6265]

Didn't quite understand the straight cut then the angled cut with guide/fence(?) However, going to try it out. Have four inside corners in powder room. Thank you - appreciated content of video.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Once you try it it will make perfect sense. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

Kreig makes a much better jig for $30 bucks.

[@shanouka3469]

Black eye, nicely done.

[@kristinetesnow2520]

"You're just gunna have to be really good with your caulk" did no one catch that or was everyone too concerned about whose elbow his eye caught? haha seriously I've been binge watching your channel. buying a house TOMORROW and already have so many things i want to try from watching your videos. never thought laying tile would look like fun.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

LOL, Love your sense of humor. Truth is Tile work is a lot of fun as long as you work clean. Let us know if you have any questions...We are here to help. Good luck with the new house.Cheers!

[@jamesgallego1542]

So its not necessary to nail down a corner piece of wood (where the wall/ceiling meet) to provide wood to nail molding into?

[@johnc705]

Thoughts on coping the inside corners? Great videos by the way, I really appreciate not just the techniques you show, but the small time-saving tips. They are gold.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

works great if you have experience with it.

[@tsnstt]

Smashed the like button until it turned blue 😂 oh and I also subscribed

[@peterbergeris6510]

When do you use a miter saw bevel? Does the bevel come in only when material is too high for the saw blade to make a complete cut?

[@woodybear8298]

Use a Sterrett tool to get your corner angles.

[@ItsUreBoy446]

You guys should do a multiple pot light install video sometime!! I'm planning on doing a project in my current apartments living room. Although, I'm not sure if that's out of this channels scope of work, either way love the channel!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Hey Chris , thanks for the kind words. The led pots can be strung together at least 20 per switch. Feel fee to add as much as you like up to that point. Otherwise consult a local electrician regarding the code in your neighborhood.

[@Blazer19742002]

Hi Jeff! Loved this info for the crown, will definitely use it in the very near future. It would be very appreciated if you could do a vid on how to recover stairs. Either with the prefab covering that can be purchased at a hardware store, or even how to make your own. I recently removed the carpeting from a set of stairs in my home, and was disappointed to find crappy construction stair treads underneath. Was hoping to be able to patch, sand, and stain but that isn't the case. Also, I have spindles that are attached to the stairs, would those be salvageable? Tia! Hope you and yours have a great weekend!

[@nelsonortizmedina9653]

What type of gun did you use 18 gauge or 16, brad nails or finishing nails?
