I am a youth 24 year old who runs my own wood working business I av been make furniture from age 13, people often time don't know am the boss because am always the youngest one in the shop , but am a pride full wood worker I take no crop with my furniture. I really like your work am a big fan of moldings plz do more videos.

[@lexboegen]

This is one of the best videos that you've done, in my opinion.

[@jlh5995]

James, thank you so much for the tutorial on the use of the router bits to make a spectacular moulding.

[@thismyytbhandle]

This is genius, thank you SO much for posting. Greetings from a Latina student in the Netherlands, wanting to spruce up her long-term rental :D

[@davesutherland2233]

Ive just spnt 2 hours online looking where to purchase crown moulding in Aus for my kitchen cabinets, cant believe I have those Router bits in a cupboard with my router from my hobby days of framing , Thanks Stumpy, Im gunna go have so fun today as I always have scrap avail. Cheers

[@NMranchhand]

Geeze! Geeze! Geeze! What an eye opener! I feel like I was blind to what was going on with trim. That's what finish carpenters have been doing with common pieces from Home Depot, isn't it? Stacking? Of course, I'll be running for my router now to try it. Thanks a million. Your approach is the best balance in woodworking today, on or off of KZbin, of today's technology with the history of why we do the things we do; for both the intrinsically fascinating story and the underlying principles of working wood, without which our woodworking would be just so much electrical machine operation procedure memorization.

[@brendamckay7192]

I have never used a router but plan to make some simple moulding for my kitchen..enjoyed your explanation. You didn't talk over a newbee. I look forward to watching more.

[@mrmukura]

This is primarily why I bought a router table, and I'd figured layering was the way to go. The goal is to make molds to use for casting, and I've even thought about having a library of layers that I can mount on a backing board to rapidly make a mother mold from which I can cast multiple lengths for a job and then develop a new profile with the timber another day. The explaination of the method here, as per usual is a good walkthrough that has helped solidify some ideas. Thanks

[@dengoet19]

This video is exactly the source I was looking for! The really nice base molding in my 1950's cape cod style house can't be bought and this will point me in the direction I need to recreate it. THANK YOU!!

[@jimdeal6335]

I'm getting ready to build a German style hutch and this video just solved my moulding concerns! Thanks!

[@jbb5470]

Great video Stumpy! Your "thinking outside the box" method of creativity is inspiring! Being newer to routing I had not considered that approach. Thank you for your tip. A Great addition to a persons woodworking skills with some practice.

[@braulioperez181]

This is an spectacular explanation about how to make crown moldings. Great video. You always surprise you audience. Tks.

[@TonyV_in_the_OC]

Excellent James. I do a lot of layered moulding around the house and friends always ask where I got it. I keep a sample and share the skill so all the homes stop looking like the same finish carpenter did every home. Thanks!

Hey Jim, great information. You always have good stuff on here . Have a cold one my friend. You've earned it !

[@curiouscat3384]

Amazing detail - you're always so good at describing things and with excellent closeups ! This was very interesting but much too difficult for my whacko ADD brain, lol. I might be able to handle sticking together two or three store bought mouldings - I don't need anything this elegant for my kitchen remodel

[@philippegrant9833]

Thanks for sharing your impressive knowledge. I learned a lot just now.

Well done!

[@smn8782]

Excellent video!!

[@jvmiller1995]

Another neat way to get more from your bits is if your router will tilt in your table or the router table top tilt. I have a router table that moves up and down over a fixed router but you can also tip the table upto 45dgrees.. So a straight bit can cut a chaffer or even a ogee at 22.5 looks way different. I built a small router table from the table carriage from a old shopsmith. It set on the tail stock of a shopsmith and I have a 2 1/2hp 85mm Hitachi router spindle bolted under the table. It was a quick throw together at the time but I have since fell in love with it.

Cool. My home was built in the 18th Century and all the mouldings are custom work made from native eastern white pine in the area.

James, I am well familiar with this method but nonetheless I watch your video with great pleasure. Many thanks

[@svenamundsen4879]

Hey James. Wow!! I am learning a great deal about a lot of things in woodworking. I love watching this video on how to make a crown molding from scratch. I am working on a "solid Mahogany" bookcase for someone and when I get to the part of where I attach the molding, I am reluctant to use a "brad" and or glue. I want this case to be the utmost in professionalism and appearance. Any suggestions on how to mount the crown molding that is different from the previously mentioned? Thank you very much!!

[@tobin0405]

Nice one

[@ronsmith2464]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing this. What size the large core box bit you use?

[@Kreith32]

Lovely video ... really nice to learn all these techniques. Even it will help me for my next videos. SUBSCRIBED :)

[@michaellmello3933]

I enjoyed this video, the last piece you routed that was curved, did you Ben that wood or is that something you purchased? I'm thinking about buying a steam generator and was wandering if wood could be bent like that??

[@jasonbowman7190]

What pine material and dimensions to use if making paintable crown like that. Select grade 2x4 ? You have such good content. I'm planning out an elaborate door trim idea from a picture 😬

[@nikburton9264]

cool beans!!

[@TheGerogero]

What if you want elliptical beads and coves like in Greek revival style?

[@ColnAng]

What about covering sharpening the old wood moulding planes - they are very overlooked

[@Ricks2Cents]

I have an Old 1865 Farm House I was told is Adams casing. I was beating my head against a wall how am I going to recreate this. After several post on FB Woodworking Group pages & some encouraging words (Don’t be a P*ssy) I’m just going to recreate the trim in 2 pieces. Lol I was hoping someone was aware of a bit I could use and not have make it in 2 pieces so such luck. Thanks for your video! Wish me Luck!!!

[@NianticRiverWoodcraftingChrisN]

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS? Lol. Good video!

[@ralhmcc47]

Stumpy, how could I do a curved molding with a Stanley 45, 55 ?

[@ginamplm]

I would like to make 3 1/4” 3 step sawtooth door trim and baseboards. Nothing fancy, just rounded on the ends of each step. What bit(s) would I need to do that? I’m trying to match my existing trim in my 1960’s house and I have a lot to do. Kitchen, bathroom and 1 bedroom have the old trim. I need to do dining room, hallway, 2 bedrooms and living room. Please help! I found some similar trim, but they want $25 for a 7 foot piece. If my math is correct, I have about 600 feet to do.

[@RobertLugg]

Had to watch four times but I think it got it. I still don’t see how you know the shape to put into each board before gluing together. You mentioned that the glue wasn’t structural. Do you need to make it structural a different way?

[@mxstyle909]

I want to become a carpenter a good one

[@ishtlutz1261]

HI. I’m very new to this im a girl & I’ve been trying to learn this stuff all by myself for like 4 months & im still pretty confused. Ok. So my question is ….. what if you had some kind of router BIT EXTENSION…? Is there some kind of piece that can be attached to the router that will allow you to route say …. 3 inches up A piece of wood?

[@elmerfuentes8768]

Wuaoooo 👍

[@blinkstudio]

So definitely doable, but looks like a huge amount of work, if for example you need 50ft of exactly the same profile.

[@StumpyNubs]

It is very unlikely you will need 50 feet for a furniture moulding, which is what this is intended for. Furniture mouldings are usually 4-feet or less in length. It would not be any more difficult to make five 4-foot pieces of this than to make one.

[@blinkstudio]

@@StumpyNubs I'm thinking of period door panel beads, 1.5" x 3/4, for which you could use this method. With about 15 feet per door you could easily require 50+ feet for a restoration project.

[@kickpublishing]

Thats why the process is traditionally known as a built up moulding - you want to use a poly glue for this as it requires far less glue and needs only light clamping

[@mohammadnoori3914]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@robkc1943]

Yo! Stumpy. That's an unfair tease. Why are they called Core Box Bits?

[@StumpyNubs]

I'll make a video about it.

[@738polarbear]

They are called "core box bits" because they are used to make the small wooden boxes that hold exploratory core drillings for storage and or transportation . Nowadays the boxes are mostly pressed tin though .

[@macgugo]

Очень много отходов и риск получить "вертолет".

[@ckingclosur]

it would be very interesting to find out how they did it hundreds of years ago ??? I am serious mate !! how did they do it ?? can you tell us cuz they didn't have all this high tech were they more capable than us ???

[@StumpyNubs]

I said how they did in the video.... mate.

[@ckingclosur]

OOpps ..."feel shy&blushed"

[@markbradley9656]

why cant you use one big bit?

[@mikeclarke952]

Wow but it would take me 1/2 hr to set up each bit though

[@jkb561]

Only 360p video quality?

[@gizanked]

JKB it takes time for the videos to fully process so if you view it too soon after it goes live then the resolution is limited.

[@StumpyNubs]

No, it's full HD. KZbin just hadn't finished processing it yet when you saw it.

[@junky9]

K only 400,000 feet to go.

[@josevillanueva6992]

Nice molding but complicated changing many router bits. I prefer buy a set of crown molding router bits. That means only 2 router bits. Thanks for sharing anyway.

[@StumpyNubs]

How do you buy a set of crown moulding bits to match a historic 18th century moulding? The point of the video is your ability to match any moulding you wish to duplicate.

[@josevillanueva6992]

@@StumpyNubs you right you have a good point. I used to live in the US for 20 year and working on victorian houses and making costume molding. But now I live in my home town El Salvador and there's not houses with crown molding. So I can mill my own crown molding style. But I appreciate your teaching.

[@josevillanueva6992]

@@StumpyNubs have a cold.👍

[@StumpyNubs]

Keep in mind that this is a woodworking channel more than a carpentry channel. When I say "crown moulding" I am speaking about the complex mouldings on furniture.

[@Ang.0910]

Some good tips but I see many issues 2:58 good luck finding the same colour and grain in this crazy world and glueing issues that can come up are numerous.
