Installing Kitchen Cabinet Crown Molding

[@tinyt6330]

I always learn something new everytime I watch your videos! Today I learned that I would love to pay someone to install crown if I ever want it!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Haha

[@FrankBilly-t4y]

Great job one trick I learned is when installing the crown after nailing up the first piece I then take caulking and run a very small bead along the edge that will be nailed next that way if there are any small cracks or the seams are not perfectly mitered the caulking will fill that small void or crack. I use a squared off old credit card to run across the the two edges and then wipe with a damp rag. I also use the trick when installing trim around doors. A lot of DIYers will try to caulk a seam that has a small crack and it will not look as professional as this trick

I always love watching somone improve their home and problem solve. Great job as always.

[@gost4132]

Dude, you are our generations, Bob Villa. I used to love watching this old house.

[@pamelaknourek2810]

So satisfying to watch this all come together. Your description of what and why you are doing things a certain way and your attention to detail is top notch. I enjoy watching every one of your videos. Thanks for posting!

[@15Kilo]

It’s the little things that make everything look so good. Nice job, love your videos!

[@Yellowjacket1977]

I've always heard, "Cut your crown molding upside down and backward". Nobody ever explained to me to think of the bottom of your saw table as the ceiling!! Now, that makes more sense! Thanks for the tips!!

[@ca6177]

I like your attitude about being "patient."! Great job as usual, and I appreciate the sense of humor too!👍

[@snoozieq4584]

Can't wait for the finished product on the kitchen as a whole. This is turning out so awesome! Thank you for posting!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

And thank YOU for watching, Susan!!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

What an awesome video. I love crown molding. It just makes an entire room.

[@michaelbuono9826]

That helped, especially with the fridge surround situation. Thanks

[@galady8632]

Proof positive a kitchen doesn't have to be huge to be convenient and functional - well thought out plans make all the difference. And the crown makes it 'Top Shelf'. Great content, as always. Thank you.

[@cantgetright742]

I almost missed the first step to cutting crown is dropping it on the ground. Glad I watched to the end

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

🤣

[@cantgetright742]

And here I thought it was because I didn't have coping skills.. Stupid doctors But really.. Good stuff as always. Coming along nicely

[@lesliecas2695]

Love, love, love it - well done. The light top cabinets over the dark bottom ones look really sharp. 😎

[@audmascorro6056]

I just found your web site last night. Thank you. I have an old 1900 house that has so many repairs. Your videos have been refreshing and helpful.

[@ike4928]

I'll be cutting crown in a week but I haven't done it in years but this video refreshed me...thank you

[@michaelwatts3084]

Can't wait to watch the rest after I'm off work an home man

[@wthomas253]

When this video first started I thought, "Oh, Geez! He's not going to add additional blocking to bump the molding out to the depth of the doors! Wrong!" I almost turned it off but decided to see the molding mullet you were going to have at the end. Thankfully, mid-vid, you attached the extra blocking on the front of the original blocking. Kudos! Job well done!

[@teresab6383]

I like watching your angles and cuts.

[@JacksonTheGameDude138]

Great video. I Can't wait to see it when the kitchen is finished

[@hammockmonk]

I LOVE the way you did the blocking! I was going to use a piece of straight grain to extend the carcasses, but your method is so much easier and I can use any kind of wood. Thanks!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@mlowe30]

Another great video. I have been racking my brain for the past few months trying to figure out who you resemble. You look similar to Donald Sutherland when he was younger!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

😮😀 I guess I can see that.

[@jsaysyay]

every video amazed at how much you've done to improve that kitchen and hallway, it's looking really nice

[@georgerock8275]

I think that whoever does that job now will not have problems with your good description, very good for the teaching you give to those of us who do not know .thanks

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

Crown molding...when are we going to do it? Right now!!! Love it. It looks spectacular. Thanks for sharing with us. 💓

[@Sapnek]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share such information with us

[@annwilliams9214]

Wow! Just wow! Crown looks amazing. Love how you added the profile strip to add another detail to the cabinets. Also like how you transitioned the fridge cabinet to the hall and how that strip balanced the crown in the hall. A major improvement!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks, Ann! I am happy with how it turned out!

[@brendatenney8404]

Love LOVE all the detail work! I think you and Mrs. Fixer will really enjoy. ❤️❤️

[@t3ck3r]

Just finished watching all of your old videos, up pops this one. This may be bad of me; but after watching you remove the front steps, I can't wait to see you remove the back steps. Loved watching all your videos.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Stay tuned! 😉

[@debbiejester751]

Beautiful work! It's amazing how you got all of the cuts perfect!

[@mahnazkeshavarzi8167]

I saw this video about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I was waiting for the next project, but I didn't. Hopefully, I'm not missing the rest of your project. Thank you and Goodluck 👍☺️

[@dianebackhouse4532]

Kitchen's looking great, it must be nice having someone like you who can do it all.

[@orreng]

A crowning achievement! Excellent!

[@robingillespie4467]

Wow, I love the look, it's so high end, detail work is so hard but, you excel at it! Outstanding outcome!

[@peggylarue7824]

Great video, the crown molding looks terrific. Your attention to detail from beginning to end is amazing and appreciated.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks, Peggy!!

[@ibz8455]

The kitchen is getting soo beautiful!!!! Great work. Love your videos

[@conniediperi4837]

Great job so far. Can’t wait for the finished product.

[@annettearties8538]

Oooh Weee! I'm glad there's no test to take after this lesson. 🤓🤓I have a miter saw that I've never used. Interested in learning. Thanks for link. Crown moulding looks great. 🤗🤗

[@janicek6399]

So clever around the frig!

[@larrypollard8116]

I'm doing an older home now and I feel your pain on the imperfection's. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffellis6544]

Great video. Much appreciated. I’m assisting my carpenter doing our new kitchen. We have similar cabinets, although not white. And this has given me some excellent solutions to how we were going to do the crown. And we have an odd size ceiling height, so we will not be connecting to the ceiling which may make things easier for us. But I appreciate your detailed explanations.

[@Reese-Dancer]

Ooooohhhhh!! It's coming together ❤️! Excellent explanations and demonstration as always!

[@jackww839]

I’m amazed how well you hid all the normal flaws in an older home. All your reveals look perfect. Great job!

[@trader8219]

Excellent instructional video, I learned a lot and it gave me the confidence to do my crown molding now, thanks for taking the time to make this detailed video

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@renezepedarepreza7576]

This is the video iv been looking around... Thank you 👍

[@yearight7956]

Nice man, as someone who does kitchens i enjoy seeing others approach and preferences. Im huge on adding a spacer to the tall cabs with extended face frames but it came out good here.

[@briananderson2093]

Looks good. I've been impressed by your trim and crown work in your various videos. You've got a good eye for it and touch with it. Great work!

[@kscheuerman5378]

The Fixer, you are my favorite... Of course I enjoyed it all. Very informative as usual!! Please give my best to Mrs. Fixer & little Fixer, too

[@karllux83]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It looks great!

[@turtuhl]

that is a crazy amount of fore thought. I did not do that with my kitchen cabinet install. Nicely done sir.

[@liza_lou]

Wow, the finished moulding is amazing!

[@RLLWoodworks]

Looks so good man. At 32:30 I love the tip of gluing and nailing the outside corner first then fussing with the inside corner. Well done!

[@aaronmcghee2837]

Man it's really coming along! I keep "jonesing" for the next video.

[@joymcmillion7192]

Wow! It’s looking beautiful!

[@lorikegley3327]

It's looking so beautiful!

[@jennifermartinus4929]

You do very nice work, Matt. 🤩

[@chrissimons2736]

Dude....great job. Exactly my situation and I was wondering how am I going to get this done right.....well.....now I can! Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Really hope it helps! Thanks for checking it out!

[@MaryKalscheuer]

Awesome Best Crown Molding video I’ve seen Thank you

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

I appreciate it, thanks!

[@jw6504]

Awesome job. You are a great teacher 👨‍🏫

[@jameshaun7]

Love the videos…Great Job….Thank you!!!

[@kauser1239]

[@lindaroyal8161]

Wow, very impressed, it looks amazing.

[@rosie1798]

Great Job!!!

[@mikegrigoriadis9484]

Dude! you are the man! I learned so much from this

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks a lot, Mike!

[@yobespierre]

that looks absolutely lovely. great job.

[@joepowell2619]

I do this everyday, you did an amazing job!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Great to hear! Thanks, Joe!

[@mahnazkeshavarzi8167]

You did a very good job I'm so excited for next ☺️👍👌😉

[@JeffRoth-w3c]

Looks great I did crown molding in my hole condo my step dad did it for me

[@exquisitehomes]

As a contractor, I see many home owners thinking that the mitre cuts that come together are the finished product. When in fact there's still caulking and painting before everything's done. Yours looks really good even before those finishing touches. Fantastic job!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks, Mike! I really appreciate that!

[@js8039]

Mighty fine job. The ancient Egyptians really shanked us with crown molding.

[@buckleyprintco]

Dude that 1/4 reveal planing with the wall on the right side of the fridge was a flex.

[@carolyncarlson3825]

You have the patience of a 😇...... You always do excellent work.....hugs

[@katsprojects]

This was really interesting and I feel like I learned a lot. I definitely want to add crown to our home at some point. Thanks for another awesome video with detailed explanation 👍

[@americanmom7911]

Thank you so much for this video. Your explanation was on point and I feel confident trying to install crown molding to my cabinets. I don't have a fancy saw like that so wondering if a skill saw would work? Thanks again!

[@kwat1979]

So so impressive!! Can’t wait for the time lapse!!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

It’s live now if you haven’t seen it yet!

[@2980jg]

Looking great!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thank you!

[@7628739]

Use the Diablo blades, they make quick work. Looks like one of my projects, good work!! Details man details

[@dshey6802]

It looks mahvelous. Truly.

[@ozzyarmendariz2204]

Nice video bro ,thank you.

[@wannabetrucker7475]

Looks fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@alisonsloan9335]

So impressive!!

[@cherylbellardino5211]

Absolutely beautiful! Great work!

[@ronaldcollay9670]

Thank you. Great job!

[@MoziMozee]

Awesome video, well done. 👌

[@karlfarlow8751]

This was awesome and very helpful. I just worry about the way you only use the miter saw with your right hand and cut across your arm. Just stay safe so we can keep watching! Love your videos!

[@Александр39-ж8ж]

It's cool to watch your work. Cool thanks

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! 😃

[@luckehandyman]

Great Work!

[@johnsupko6615]

You could use the crown settings on your miter box so you can make cuts with the trim laying flat in the miter box instead of holding it at an angle. Makes for more precise cuts.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

That would be ideal for perfect corners but this way is easier to adjust when (they almost always are) off.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Very nice work!!

[@jeffreylotton5601]

With MDF base moulding, I've used an angle grinder with an 80 grit flap wheel as a coping tool. It works very well, a little tough to control on the fine tuning but great for the bulkier stuff.

[@oliviakuyvenhoven1430]

Looks fantastic!

[@Tungk117]

Nice job ...Very very very Good!!!!

[@chrisbendzak2367]

Looks great. How did you attach the blocking to the top of the cabinet?

[@noobyxviii]

Looks nice

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks!

[@ACsPianoCorner]

Phenomenal job…👏

[@timothystevenhoward]

Are you doing 2" straight nails into ceiling and like 1" pin nails into the cabinets?

[@danielreed5965]

Wow very impressive! It's nice you have the patients for this, I throw stuff almost immediately when working on stuff like this. I cant wait to see it all done. What are your plans from there?
