In older houses with real lath-and-plaster walls, driving a nail to hang a picture or artwork was asking for cracked, flaking, or spalling plaster. The only safe way was to hang the artwork suspended from a fixed rail -- hence the advent of "picture molding" or "picture rail."

[@ElliotNesterman]

In my old apartment, in a building built just after WWI, I hung all my pictures from the picture moulding. Not only did the plaster remain in good nick, but when I moved there were no holes in the walls to patch.

[@troygraham2238]

Correct! I have picture rail molding in my den and dining room. House built in 1920.

[@ABonRMS]

@@troygraham2238 It is nice because you can move your art around and not have to mess with the plaster walls. We had it in our house when I was a kid. I miss it because my current home does not have it.

[@VelvetRedRoses]

In an art class, the professor talked about picture frame molding and they sold clips for it in the art store downtown. The college used it in the gallery for students to show their work. I was already familiar with it because my grandmother had it in her house and that's how she hung up pictures. It's really an awesome molding.

[@2blackdanes]

How was the picture molding installed on the plaster in order to avoid the aforementioned problem?

If he turned it over it would look stupid. Every house I have ever seen with crown molding, it was installed the way that guy was doing it. I don't know why anyone would think it was wrong.

But, that is only one way...LOTS of materials look great used upside down, backside-out, etc. ...It’s in the eye of the beholder, for Pete’s sake! Use the materials to get a look you like, that most folks might also like if thinking to sell it.

The world needs more people like you! Thanks for continuing to put out great content that is not only informative but entertaining as well.

[@Cryptoverse-pi2zm]

Here's the thing, the Gary guy didn't install it wrong. The problem is it looks likes Shi, because 99% of people do not understand that there is an ORDER in which crown moulding goes. The golden rule of 3's. The historical significance behind what you're actually installing with crown moulding dates back to Greek and Roman times. There is a certain order that has to be followed for the punctuation of it to actually work. Many times we see people getting confused with Victorian, Federal, Gregorian, etc. style homes and have no idea why they want it other than they think it represents luxury. If it the order is not followed with the rule of 3's, it looks like shit. Even if the carpenter who installs it and the homeowner think it looks good. If Carpenters would do some research they would be knocking it out of the park with the homeowners even more so and creating an actual craft that should be followed.

[@northernexplorer1709]

Great video. I've been a cabinet maker and custom finisher for over 20 years now and you're right! Wood working is an art form and you can't tell another man, on the design side of things, how to do something. Having said that, generally the wider edge of the profile goes towards the bottom in order to bring the crown forward. Doing this allows the profile to be seen when a door is added below it. I have installed it upside-down in order to have a wider edge to the ceiling so I can run a piece of quarter round against a really bad ceiling line. Cheers man, good videos!

I agree, if you like it that way install it that way! In one of my prior jobs I worked drawing and designing cutting heads for shapers. We designed custom or reproduction molding. I worked with many Architects to get them exactly what they wanted. The reason people say the detail should be down or in the lower part of the installation is for sight. Nothing more. We did buildups that were sometimes 3 and 4 feet in height with multiple molding pieces involved. Installed in Large Banks, Churches, Municipal Buildings and Corporate offices where opulence was the order. Yes we generally kept to the rule "detail toward the bottom" but not always and The Architect that I remember not following the rule was a well known and extremely talented architect that was at the time also and a Adjunct Professor of Architecture at an Ivey league school. Keep on installing it they way it looks good to you.

I recall art that galleries use the picture rail (molding) to hang paintings, etc. with thin wires because they can adjust the height for different size work without nailing or screwing hangers in the wall every time something new is hung, so they aren't repairing and repainting the walls all the time. It is still commonly used in galleries. I like the way you are using it.

Retiring this year, after 50 or more years in the biz, as they say. You have the main ingredient that it takes to be a great craftsmen. Your imagination and a desire to make things look good. Years ago an old timer told me me to throw my square and levels back in the truck. Square, level boring !! Thats what he said. God gave you 2 eyes. Trust your gut and go with it!! You're an artist! Go and create my friend!!

I would say these days college prevents free thinking. So your probably better off.

[@christophercrawford2736]

My probably better off? Or his probably better off? What about her probably better off?

[@scottverge938]

I took carpentry and cabinet making at my local community college. It didn't change my thinking hahaha

[@scottverge938]

@Chiafade now so in other words his blanket statement is bullshit. University wouldn't change me either I've always been a socialist 😄

I like the tip with gluing the blocks to your miter saw. Try laying down some blue tape first and gluing to that. Same holding power but much easier clean up. Great video.

You do absolutely outstanding work, Marine! Semper Fidelis and stay safe.

[@mikemason4792]

First you are a craftsman, second you are a very good teacher. Great video.

Pretty cool, I like how you used a molding profile that normally wouldn't be used for this application. At the end of the day it's what ever the customer likes. In this case it's you so hats off to you.

[@Lemandeperth]

Man I'm full on roof and framing carpenter trying to learn more about finish. Your trick to cut the moulding in position to have the offset is just genius!!

[@superchile9640]

I like the idea of using the piece you made to measure. Learn something new all the time. Thanks

[@GrigorSimeonov]

the fact that you were able to batch cut all those trim peaces and then assemble them on the floor prior to installing, and THEN it all fits on the wall is mind-boggling. You are awesome my dude, you do you.

[@duane8620]

Nice looking wall! Thanks for clearing up that confusion with moldings. Great video!

[@alohaoy]

What an ambitious project! I like your non-nonsense approach.

[@RonniePadgett2]

Thanks for putting these videos out. I find this stuff fascinating. I'm just a hack, but I inspire to be better and have been binge watching your videos.
