The SMART Crown Molding PRO TIP

[@coolhluke8089]

This is the simplest straight-to-the-point video I have found

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Thanks for watching

[@wiseoldman5841]

Excellent, have a kitchen with crown molding that has separated from the ceiling. The contractor used the double cross nail into ceiling sheet rock. Complete rubbish instillation only saved time for him and now i am repairing his work. Took a few years to loosen up. Nice to see you're an actual craftsman!

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

🤙🏻 thank you. Hope you get it all remedied!

[@keithdykes6423]

That is a badass, I’m using that in my next crown job!!

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Appreciate it!

[@bobbynasten33]

No your not.

[@kennethpenn2098]

Just run one long piece that's small enough. I do it all the time.

[@rotaxrider]

Thousand and thousands of feet of crown installed and never blocked or put extra strapping or blocking before drywall. 18 gauge brads criss crossed into drywall only and never had one call back

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

if you feel comfortable installing that way, then by all means get at it! I like to hit wood when I fasten and found that this way is better for me. It's not a must, it's just the way I prefer to do it.

[@rotaxrider]

One way isn’t better than another. As long as the outcome and finished product is the same

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

@@rotaxrider yessir!

[@landonsmith4338]

That's actually a really good idea. I thought it was stupid at first, but it actually makes perfect sense!

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

I love it! It really helps with making sure all the crown is fastened tight

[@tres-4b798]

This is epic but the second best use for molding is to run cables through

[@ChevyDex315]

What cables are you running behind crown?

[@tres-4b798]

@@ChevyDex315 had to run some cable from dis board which is otherside of wall on the other end of the room the the other corner of the room then down into wall for under floor heating. worked great and minimised cleanup

[@BHandy000]

I think this is one of the first videos I saw from youwhen you posted it. I have done this in the past and got shit for it every time. It is so easy to shoot a couple nails into the top plate and you know where everyone of those are as you put the crown in. Love 5.5” crown it’s my fav

Love your videos man! Really has been helping me on my way up. Thank you! 🎉

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Glad to hear it! Keep at it💪🏼

[@eggpoop]

That's alot of extra work

[@rick4electric]

I always cut them short so that there is space to adjust. There is absolutely no need to make them accurately fit the molding. They will actually fit tighter to the ceiling and wall if you cut them a little shy.

[@rick4electric]

I did that 30 years ago and I'm sure someone else did it before me. It's the only way to do a proper job that is simple and straightforward.

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

There is a little room, they aren’t tight. I feel they save time and you know there is wood there to fasten to!

[@carloscasiano1791]

Niiiice!!!! I will definitely try this method

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Sweet, I like it!

[@frankgonzalez1631]

Keep up the great work 😃

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Thanks, will do!

[@seanmolloy6188]

That's a really good idea Carpenter I work with has been doing that same trick for a very long time my only critique would be why would you put MDF inside a pool house high humidity environment that's bad

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Thanks, it is a pool house but the pool is outside. It’s literally 5’ from the pool. So no extra humidity inside

[@josuemunoz6283]

Bro thank you for doing that finally someone knows

Where can I find a simple video for installing crown molding on vaulted ceilings not cathedral ceiling where it comes to a point but just vaulted

[@cleyvergonzalez1304]

This man. Props buddy!

[@dawitabate9291]

Good job what degree crown molding block is that? Can you make a video how to make it please?

[@ralph5450]

You match it to the crown your putting up.

[@dash1dash2]

You don't need a video to measure the angle of your crown molding and use a miter saw to cut 2x4s.

[@kevinwindham1560]

Genius 🎉

[@frankgonzalez1631]

I done the blocking system on the crown molding many times and some amateur told me that I was trying to create something and wasting time... I told him this has been done for many years in fact I got it out of a Victorian all restoration home design where we had to take the crown molding and it was so strong held.. but I don't let those amateurs get to me 😃🤣🤣

Right, everybody is a PRO! 😆

My uncle gave me the idea to use nailers in my house because the walls are cement and the only other way would be to glue the shit out of them. It takes a bit of work to get the nailers in but it's worth the effort.

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Yessss

[@trevibmx]

Got it, coach.

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

🤙🏻

[@TC_318]

Great idea, love it. What’s the measurement for the 2x4?

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

3 1/8 I believe. But it will vary with different types and sizes of crown

[@trynphre]

Are the blocks cut to the spring angle of the crown or are they just cut rough? I need to know! Lol

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

They are cut slightly smaller than the dead space behind the crown.

[@nicholasavery2271]

I wish I would have seen this before I did the crown molding in my wife’s bathroom

[@drred9998]

how big do you make the blockin . do you measure the inside of the molding to get the right size block .to fit

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Yes, set it against the corner & measure the dead space, cut to fit just shy of that dimension

[@coolhluke8089]

I will definitely do that on all my seems though

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

🤙🏻

[@blakedishner5805]

Overkill for a bedroom but for a pool house I get it. This is how I run my drop crown

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

I like the blocks, I know I have solid wood to fasten to especially with wide crown

[@coolhluke8089]

Cool idea but I have a four-bedroom house that's getting crown mold everywhere.. That's a lot of blocks to cut

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

It’s really not that bad being on 16”. I did 5000sq ft of a 6500 sq ft house with the blocks! Had a ton of angles and corners. This helps with not having to find all your nailers in the ceiling

[@geroldwilson2326]

I was waiting for the "got it coach"

[@floridabudgetbuilds4157]

Maximum damage to the home if they ever remove it. But still a great solution for the no joist problem.

All crown molding sits at a 45° angle and the block should be the same measurement that your crown molding is in the nested position

No it doesn’t there is 38 22 and 45 crown
