[@coolercooler642]

Finally a no bullshit video, direct and to the point. No tangents or meetings of the neighbor's dogs . Oscar winning performance. Pulitzer prize winner.

[@edrosenbloom1156]

Amazing! Explains in 10 min what most other youtubers can't explain in 3 hrs.

[@jaimeriquelme6727]

Good on ya mate, very useful video, thanks for your time. From Sydney, cheers.

[@ramonhunter3985]

I want to thank you for posting this video. The jig I made for my crown work perfectly. The experience I had last time gave me nightmares. This has given me confidence to take on any crown-molding project.

[@glenbutler9611]

Thank you Paul for your time saving, practical, angle-cutting hacks! I'm a retired teacher who has found DIY projects like installing crown molding an absolute delight! You're easy to follow and I can replay your videos when needed as a show as you go tutorial 👍🏼

[@hangingman1]

My grandpa was the one that taught my dad how to do the jig you made. And me with no experience have used the old jig with great results and saving me lots of $'s in installations of the Crown molding. Nice to see some old fashioned carpentry tricks!

[@coolhluke8089]

DUDE !!!!!!! THIS IS BAD ASS! I USED TO HATE CROWN! flip flopping the saw around...... This jig ROCKS! And it's quick. I use a grinder and flap wheel to cope and we flew through this house! Thank you

[@luisbrazilva]

Dude! You’ve cracked the biggest mystery with this tool. Seriously, I’ve done two rooms with this contraption and it looks like a pro did it! No more “making up the gap with a 3” caulk line” haha

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Luis!

[@danfiorini785]

I’ve done two crown molding projects in my house now. Two of the most frustrating projects. Caulk turned about to be the MVP in both ordeals

[@Rdebeauvoir1]

Paul, you are smart, easy to follow instructions, and the reason I am writing "smart" besides all the good instructions, you are the only one that cut the noise out you video, when you were cutting the crown molding pieces, you have spared our ears to live a bit longer, so we don't loose hearing at older age:). Thanks!

[@jeffmacfawn8380]

As a painting contractor I occasionally am requested to put in a piece of crown moulding. Now after 30 years you have just taught me how to cut the angles very easily. Thank you Paul!

[@seanmayo206]

30 years an a KZbin video taught ya . Dam. 30 years painting in fucking caves. Just joking around

[@davidcraven2870]

This is extremely impressive thank you for sharing your tools and your expertise

[@customcraft1]

Before retiring, I was a carpenter/ cabinet maker 47 years, You sir just proved that you can teach an old new tricks. Very nice video, you gained my subscription.Thanks for doing this.

[@marval550]

Clear and precise instruction! Genius idea! Give this man his own tv show! This lady is subscribing now!

[@rl6040]

I have been watching DIY videos for quite a few years now and i cant even begin to tell you how much trouble you saved me. I consider this video my best watched and informative video ever. Super simple instructions helped made my crown molding job easy. Thank you.

[@christophergerakoulias5623]

Oh man the way you explain the math makes it very understandable, the angles make it a little overwhelming. Thanks so much God bless

[@raymondpontremoli4500]

Thanks Paul....I made one and it was a no brainer... It worked like a charm and saved me alot of time...

[@thenewhampshireconnection3205]

Thanks for the video, your the first guy to explain the difference between 45/45 and 38/52. Making one of your jigs in the morning.

[@realdanafields]

Simple and concise directions!!! Thank you for saving me time!

[@mariocarreiro6946]

Thank you so much for your videos & knowledge, it helps tremendously.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Mario!

[@hunterdogztc]

50 year carpenter here...................and I thought I was pretty good at crown molding. This jig is amazing.......................and amazingly simple. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi Terry, I'm sure you could teach me a few things. I really appreciate you taking the time for me! Happy New Year!

[@yveswalker640]

You are great teacher thank you for sharing your expertise. I make the . with 5 :16 aluminium the other jig instead of I put a sliding 5:16 bolt for adjustment ..

[@michaelm5601]

Paul, I really appreciate your videos. You are a good instructor. I am installing lighted crown molding in a room that has 5 corners. The jig you made will help me to calculate the two corner that are not 45’ degree angles. I look forward to seeing more of you helpful videos. Thank you Paul.

[@shaynesabala]

Holy crap brother, you made something so complicated so simple, thank you.. I need to save this because I'm about to do the base board in my entire house and I have those rounded corners, I thought they would look great until I got to the point of running base boards. Now I'm good, you saved me a ton of time and I thank you for that.

[@CharlesMartel676]

I TREMBLE IN YOUR PRESENCE!!!!! THANKS FOR A GREAT TUTORIAL!!!!

[@biffdemartino3414]

At times, simple is the best. This is a great tool and your explanation puts if all together! Thank you.

[@NGHTRYDR2002]

Wow... YOU Sir Just saved me a world of frustration! Always HATED doing crown. Dreaded it in fact. It’s one of those rare projects DIY’’ers may only do once or twice in a lifetime and it is way too confusing trying to figure out the compound cuts when you lay the crown flat on a miter. And when it’s something a person like me doesn’t do enough to “just know” , figuring it out becomes a monumental PAIN IN THE ASS! with lots of mistakes and wasted material. Thanks! Excellent video!!!

[@martimasters7704]

If you write down beforehands the angle of the saw tilt and the angle on deck left or right, then you won't screw it up because the wood is always laid flat. It's also helpful to note if the waste (the part of the board you don't keep) falls to the left or right of the saw blade. The only thing I don't like about compound mitre saws is that you must make a jig for short cutrs, because the tilt of the saw just makes it too damn dangerous to hold the wood and clamping isn't always an option. Personally, I find tilting the trim against the fence and cuting down straight on a non-compound mitre saw leaves more room for error and can splinter the wood on complex trim. But it also depends on the size of your saw, how it's mounted (mine sits on the floor), how good the blade is, and what kind of wood you're using.

[@keywestpuma4095]

Awesome video, I am one of the Diy'ers you spoke of, I have seen other videos on crown molding mostly confusing. I am certain i can cut crown molding now using your jig and your tips!~! Thanks!!! You simplified it alot.

[@agnonwolf9646]

Thank you! THANK YOU! I have been milling through so much scrap wood trying to figure this out with no success! i was so close to just give up! THis saved my hide

[@livemusic8248]

Gotta love KZbin shop class from the pros. I work as finish/trim carpenter (S.E.) from auto interiors to homes trim and cabinets or built in's my shortcoming is crown molding have very little experience most homes don't have it.

[@granthoglund7012]

omg : dude, you are a genius. Thanks for sharing this tip, it's pure gold.

[@geraldinebuchin6713]

You're awesome!!! I'm a woman but I like to watch and learn these things. I'll have to watch it more.

[@ckeller07]

I've cut crown a number of different ways as an amateur. The Jig Is drop dead simple. Love it

[@timothycormier3494]

Great video man! I’ve been a carpenter for almost 25 years now. I’ve always just held my crown in place by hand. Ya know. Sometimes it slips a little and moves. Sucks right. That’s a great little jig you got there. Not to mention. It can save money on bad cuts. Thanks man!!

[@kzaith]

You've been a carpenter for 25 years and haven't bought a set of crown clamps yet?

[@robertlowe5795]

Big thank you, Paul got to have me one of these great jobs bob UK.

[@bondo1955]

I did auto body for 40 yrs always wanted to do carpentry but never had the balls to make the transition ❤️your vids and talent✊

[@bunberrier]

I wish I had watched this before I was almost finished adding crown molding to a huge lanai. I always had the back of the molding facing the fence and base of the saw, for stability, and was constantly switching back and forth from 45 to 45 and flipping pieces over the get the correct compound angle. I got dyslexia quite a few times and had to recut. The jig holds things as they are actually going on the wall, which helps visualize the correct angles. Oh well... maybe next time. Thanks for the education.

[@myhobbyguitar4117]

Truly a professional... Thank you for sharing an educated video.

[@raymondpontremoli2489]

Genius....Love and will use it from now on....Thank you Paul.....

[@GetRealwithMike]

Paul, I have to rebuild my entire kitchen. I'm making my own cabinets and , yes, the crown is going to be added at the top. The wife insists. Had so many issues installing drown around the ceiling. This is going to make it much easier. can't wait to build the jig. Thanks.

[@rogerk2049]

Thanks you are a mechanic in the best sense of the word! 🇺🇸💪

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi Roger, thank you my friend I really appreciate you! Have a great weekend and please be safe!

[@keywestpuma4095]

Too Cool, you just made crown molding easy. Who knew. Awesome video!!!

[@bobsnow1996]

Paul... What a great jig and a super video on how to use and save time with a miter saw... I've added you to my subscribes I watch two to three "You Tubes" every morning on woodworking and I will be watching more of your videos. This Good stuff!

[@biffdemartino3414]

A simple yet a positive method to establish an accurate base for crown molding. The jig also sustains and supports the angles when your molding is lengthly.

[@regopit44]

I have been installing crown for 38 plus years so it is like second nature to me. This is a great tool for anyone who has no or little experience. Nice tip.

[@johnakles8668]

I am helping my daughter build an aquarium stand and was having a horrible time trying to cut the crown molding. You made it so simple! Thank you!

[@partikle]

Wow. This jig is genius. You're an excellent instructor, Paul. Much better than the stiff, monotoned demonstrations I've seen in other videos.

[@1976ClassicCelica]

I usually cut crown the opposite way, against the fence. This will save lots of tear out for those little bits at the end of the small return pieces. Cool tool and free.

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

Remember people, to get a blade with a 60+ tooth count, as it will make the cut smoother. The quality of your chop saw will also be evident very quickly when those angles start adding to 180 degrees. It might be beneficial to build an additional mitre precision fence, by placing a thin board down on your cutting bed, and pre-cut all your most common angles into it. Do not make a backing board that fits along the back like in some videos, your mitre is build with precision that your DIY boards barely reach. Then you can align all your cuts to the cut line without a sweat. You make it look easy Paul.

[@paulstoolbox]

That is very good advice Martin. Thanks for sharing!

[@barefootjer]

its up to the old guys to pass it on. Thanks man. Thats a great trick.

[@xkuzu2]

Followed your advise and it worked like a charm! Great video and thank you!

[@tomkennish3630]

Just a great concise excellent lesson brotha, I appreciate and am grateful for contractors and craftsman like you who share their hard earned skill and experience

[@chrisfisher1100]

thanks man, that was great. I had hung all my inside and outside corners, but was having trouble with the dead end / return transition...

[@aaudain1]

Wow very interesting jig, great job

[@HiPetitGateau]

Awesome thanks this is the first video i found that tackled my crazy corners and the end cap for the crown by the staircase i am sooo happy thank you. My hubby will be happy to i wont waste another piece trying to make a edge.

[@ericsmith7508]

I’m remolding my daughter’s bathroom and I seen this video so I had to try it out, awesome!!!!!! Turned out great, looks wonderful thanks for the help

[@dancharron7098]

I am a fan of your way's. and I subscribed. I am a Contractor, I been setting up the saw in the 2 positions way's for a long time, but that makes it easy. guess I will have coffered ceilings in my next house.

[@pinkberryconsumer4059]

Not bad. Never too old or too smart to learn something new. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

[@frankflores5931]

Nice video. Pros like you make look so easy, but I'm sure it's because you're a 20+ years master craftsman. Thanks.

[@kmc669]

Awesome video & Im like a sponge absorbing as much info as I can!

[@rv7459]

Years later and still super helpful! Jig worked like a charm. Thanks !!

[@rodneynaidoo9427]

Hi Rodney, Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment me! Happy New Year!

[@pocketjock]

Nice video! I have completely restored my home! And I mean everything!! Just bought a saw to start trimming my rooms! So glad I found your video! It’s the best one I’ve seen! Thanks Paul for the very helpful tips!

Wow this is amazing! Such a simple but amazing jig.

[@brianperniciaro3837]

That cedar fence looks amazing! Is there a video for how to make that too?

[@philrichmond7567]

Great job Paul. I've learnt something today

[@tomb375]

Paul all your videos are awesome! I need you here at my house in Huntington NY to install the crown moulding, you make everything look so easy. Thank you.

[@stevehastie6032]

I have the krig jig for doing crown molding works ok but I think this is way better and cheaper thanks bud going to try this tomorrow at a job fingers crossed lol.

[@charlesslocumjr1693]

Simple as turning things around. Bedding crown upside down and backwards is the best way to cut crown but when doing larger crown it may exceed the height of the miter saw fence. This jig solves that problem. Why’d I never think of that !

[@paulstoolbox]

Thanks Charles! Have a good night buddy!

[@homebuildingandrepairs3122]

It makes a big difference having the crown molding in the exact same spot for every single cut. I use a clamp on the miter saw.

[@TheSib]

Paul, you’re amazing. You explain things simply and thoroughly. I’ve now seen 3 of your videos and have learned A LOT from all three. Proud to be your newest subscriber. Thank you!

[@pedrotenaud1169]

Is to much work

[@lindaloftus8780]

Great video and information. Wish I had known this in the 80's when I was making a bookcase and trimming top with crown molding. Screwed up a lot of molding trying to get the angle right. Thank you.

[@begley09]

That ceiling looks badass.

[@pwindle]

Absolutely fantastic idea.

[@BrianFDolan]

great demo on crown molding -more of them Brian Dolan

[@maxrockatansky1271]

came here for transition pieces cutting and his explanation was easy to follow

[@stevenm.6886]

Love it! I believe dewalt makes an adjustable crown stop which can be used with a dewalt saw. I have them and they work great!

[@34stzoo]

I don't do crown molding but I had a job where I had to install a small section of it. This jig would've helped me out.

[@porradadoida]

congratulations Paul great idea .

[@MrTonyBrooklyn]

From one master carpenter to another OUTSTANDING!

[@miamitreasurehunter]

Wow. From a beginner wood worker, I can't thank you enough for sharing this.!

[@larrymadbicyclist349]

Okay, do it with 8 inch clear walnut that costs $25 a foot. You are gonna need one big miter saw, or learn how to do it properly.

[@cheyneturbyfill4727]

Pro: you can see the short point of your measurements which is where you will most likely be cutting to Con: tear out is always on the backside so better be keeping a sharp blade handy This is why it is typically best to nest crown against the fence. Same principle applies si that you can reverse the jig just remover to keep your crown upside down

[@pazzy4501]

Nice tricks Paul .. apriciate your efforts

Hey Paul, I am a Journeyman Floor Covering Installer. I pretty much do the same method when I install Laminate Floors with holding it down with quarter round. So most of the Track homes has the rounded corners so I do the 22.5 method and create the transition piece and following yup with the return. But never did this shit on Crown. Thx to your "Pimp Jig" creation. I am sure I will be able to pick it (of course after a few mock up tries). LOL... Thx Brah..
