As a female DYIer, thank you so much for this. I'm like other posters and when looking for a video to fit my needs after 5 minutes in of watching others, I'm lost. This is so basic and exactly what I was looking for. Being left-handed, I also needed really good visuals from basic start to finish. Much appreciated!
I'm very thankful that gap presented. It will help me remain calm when I inevitably create the same gap. It was also very rewarding to see just how well it will turn out after appropriate filling. Think of it this way, had you slapped up perfect joints - we never would have learned that!
Thank you for this video..helped me a lot DO-it-myself in my house.
Best instructional moulding video I've ever watched...details, less than perfect conditions, imperfections....you covered it all...Thank you
Than you for being so professional teaching, the perfect video I was looking for, thank you thank you...
Always, always nail 2 outside corners at the same time. When you nailed one outside corner the angle moved, you did really good. I dealt with the same thing and noticed that if I nail outside corner at the same time I can manipulate the corners to join perfectly
Too many DIY videos depict perfect joints. I like real world examples that show how to cope with less than perfect environments! GREAT JOB!!!!!
+Joe Vasta In the real world pretty much nothing is perfect and thats one of the things we try to demonstrate as well.

i like what you said. this is why they have other equipment and supplies to patch it up to make it perfect. lol Joe Vasta you are correct. id rather see imperfection than perfection. i learn better with imperfection, because we learn from our mistakes.
This is one of my favorite go to guys. After spending $70,000 on a contractor to fix "issues" and remodel my first house, I now realize I could have done it for 1/3 of the price. Just didn't know how. We had dial up internet then and I had to take out a loan to pay for it. Why so much? It had water frontage. Thanks to this guy I have been able to understand how to do so much on my own. The crown molding video is just fine for me, and showing us some extra tools and how to use them is great. Let's see which complainer does it consistently better? Hands down I've saved so much money watching and learning from him I can afford to buy the extra tools.
glad to hear Jimmy, please spread the word!
Best parts of the video are how to deal with common problems when things don't line up. The average Joe DIY would have no idea these are common. I especially love the glue & tape method. Even the pros have to do fixes!
@14:37 I know this is an old video. I've installed quite a bit of crown molding as DIY. What I've learned is that it's better to leave the ends of each piece loose, don't nail them yet until you butt the other piece to it. That allows you to make any minor adjustment and minimize the gaps before nailing.
good video. i like how you kept it real in saying all the mitres are not always perfect. because thats real and nothing in carpentry is perfectly square. good job boys
Just remember, the amount of focus is lessened when combining a teaching session and very detailed carpentry. Some of you people can't drive and chew gum, so stop it with negative comments just because of a (fixable) gap. If he wasn't sidetracked with having to explain his procedure, im positive that gap would not be there. Just stop being so negative, people!
Hi Shannon, stop worrying about what “they” are going to write in to you about, let “them” make their own video. The Real World is the BEST teacher! Please keep making your videos, your advice is very helpful to young and old. I’m 65 and still picking up your good advice. Hope to see a stair way hand rail with spindles, and hard wood floor replacement………Thanks again……..Mark McD. Boston, MA
@Hello Mark how are you doing
Thanks for sharing this detailed video. I love how you showed the less than perfect joint and how to address the issue. You are a great teacher and this video was so helpful to me.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for breaking it down step by step with a real world example. Well done
I think the video is good, it shows real world issues in a house that has settled. Good job.
There just isn't such thing as a perfect coped joint...if there is your wasting time.....with primed MDF your right... miter the inside.corners......great insight..you did a great job.....outside corners that don't touch....most of the time your fighting backing from the framers running parallel to the joists....uneven texture a drywall mud....wonderful illustration...
This man is the Bob Ross of home improvement. Love their videos.
6 years later still a good video. Thank you.
Glad I watched this video. This is my second time doing this and I picked up a couple of extra tips. Thanks!
Hello Shannon, I really enjoy all you guys videos, I really do. And I appreciate you taking the time, effort and patients to share with all of us what you do, how to do it, etc. You don't really have to do what you are doing and I appreciate every minute. It irritates me for some of these knuckle headed individuals who don't know how to do a damn thing but criticize professionals like yourself who are willing to share your knowledge. They ought to be ashame of themselves. I just wanted to share that with you. Keep up the good work.
Cordially,

Thank you. I have had to develop a thick skin since I started this ,it seems even if it was perfect there is someone who bashes you cause thats what they do while trolling around on the internet. I appreciate your comment.
Great job. Really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
thanks
Ya, all my renos involve this guy, Canada's best handyman!
Oops that was for the last vid!
Great video that shows how the real world is and how everything won't be perfect.
You're the man Shannon. Your videos are incredibly helpful.
Thanks very much I did my crown molding only with this vedio tutorial. .. good teacher. .
This guy explains really good I fallow hem for a while
Thank you. This is very helpful. As a DIY project I would have been quite frustrated at the tiny gaps but realize now even the professionals have the same challenges. I was going to try the coping but that looks tedious but I may consider. I’m building a tiny house and have only 4 inside cuts - whew
Nice video and good info...The outside corner that would not join perfectly appears to be unevenness at the ceiling....You can see there was a previous repair in that area.
@Hello Douglas how are you doing
Great video. I installed some crown last summer. Not as wide as this. Lots of good tips in this video.
thanks guys your videos are always so helpfull, im a aprentice carpenter and your youtube chanel is always my reference :)
Thank you for your reply! We, and I say we, because I worked for years installing Formica counter tops, and the dense sponge and water works very well. Of course a small bucket of water is needed to rinse out the sponge, but the results are worth it. Also finish up the caulking by going over the area again ( after you remove excess caulking) with the moisten sponge. I always wiped the excess caulking from my finger on a rag ,or paper towel ,so the water would stay cleaner longer !
Always learning something! Thats what happens when we are not afraid to share our "trade secrets"
If your going to be caulking the joint where crown meets ceiling you can put a small wedge up there to bring the top of the joint closer together.
Buen trabajo amigo. Nunca me he detenido a buscar la pieza azul para ayudarse mejor al ángulo. Buen tip👍👍
I appreciate the attention to detail in your videos. Thanks for sharing.
For those using the mitre saw, and having problems getting your 45° angles nice on the out sides corners where coping is not used "put your carpenters pencil underneath the crown as this will raise it the crown up just a wee bit enough to tighten your angle.. this varies depending on how its fitting"
That's great tip . That creates a slight under cut on the back edge to help close the front face cut.
HouseImprovements good videos on the past .but not this one. you made a big mistake in that outside corner the easy fix is just slide the crown down a bit to close that gap .NO ROOM FOR DAP ON OUTSIDE CORNERS
HouseImprovements listen to 32 bala...he knows what he is talking about
Thanks for sharing your video. I like to learn all that can help me to do things in my house. Thanks again. Nice work..!!!
I did some crown molding today. My biggest problem was cutting my pieces to exactly the size I wanted (first time using a power miter saw) always seemed to be 1/4 inch short. Will probably improve with practice. Doing this without help is quite a chore.
cut slightly longer first and remeasure to double check. easier to cut again then to be too short.
I always install skewback and do my outside corners first. In addition if the wall is over 12 feet long and 3/8 of an inch . MDF bends and drywall is joined every 4 feet. It has hills and you will come up short.
Thank you all the time you put in to make this video. My question, and maybe you explained it. Why is one inside corner mitred, and one coped?
I just did it to show two different ways. IMO coping is generally not needed unless you are using a stained wood crown.
@@HouseImprovements Thank you. And thank God, I've tried coping. I just can't get it Haha
nice video, very helpful
@Hello Dean how are you doing
Great video mr. Thank you !!!
Great video .... Felt more ready after your video versus some others.
+Baggem Taggem I appreciate the feedback.
I can't cope with coping. lol. I like the other way better. Thanks so much for the lesson. Much needed!
Thank you Mr Shannon, no more shoe shopping buying a miter saw, great video, You "crowned" it..lol
You're welcome.
THANK YOU SHANNON GREAT VIDEO NOT PERFECT FOR THE WALLS AND CEILINGS BUT GREAT INFO AND I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT....
Great video!!! Just painted and installed crown molding. After filling the nail holes is it necessary to REPAINT all the molding (defeating the whole purpose of painting first) or just touch up the nail holes?
You practically helped out renovating my whole house. Great videos... lots of details and tips. Thanks
wonderful video.. Thank you very much for the tips...One question..why did you cope the one inside joint? couldn't you have cut that corner like the others?
Yes you could , some people want to cope so I wanted to show the basics on how it was accomplished .
to show u that you also could cope it thats more for if your staining the crown
Great video. I would really like to try the kraig jig. looks like a nice tool to have
Love all your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Good work and a very good explanation!
Great job, I like your DIY videos, just a little question here about when you nail the crown molding, I noticed you don't bother to find out where your nail is endind up behind the wall or ceiling, how do you know where to nail? Thx!
Thank you. Great information.
very good.learned more today
I understand that nothing is perfect site conditions vary from job to job but I have done a lot of trim work as a master carpenter and the use of caulking cheapens our trade weather it is stain or paint grade the joints should be closed ,this is where the home depot carpenter are separated from the one who have served there time and take pride in there work
I'm a master carpenter too, but I learned the difference between weather and whether, and their, there, and they're. It makes a difference when selling a job..
I appreciate where you're coming from. but no master Carpenter started out as a master Carpenter. You just do the best you can until you get there. And sometimes it's not how you start, it's how you finish.
I actually like seeing the issues he is running into because I'm sure I will see a lot of the same things. I've installed crown before but used the boxes at the corners and ends. On our new house I want it to be cleaner looking. I was always told years ago, when it comes to your walls, there are no 90 degree angles. :)
Thanks Shannon.
Best video I have seen yet! Thank you!
im using a tube of caulk per joint, is this normal?
+wizard owl Wow ,I would say no!
+wizard owl You might want to check your measurements when you get close to a case per joint...: )...I've seen some joints like that...:)
Caulk is the thing !
lmao
pack it full with saw dust and then less chaulk...saw dust is free lol
Question. Why cut it upside down if you're still setting it with the front side facing you? Why not eliminate the confusion, and cut it as it goes on the wall?
Thank you for your very informative videos. Do you have any tips for cutting existing crown-moldings and baseboards IN-PLACE. Eg: for partition wall construction project. Thank you.
Thank you. Excellent video!
hello Shannon, would you be able to suggest what size pneumatic nailer would be best for most finish carpentry, ie door framing, molding, cabinetry? Thanks
This is a well done video. However, what if you only have a 10" blade? And, will this "jig" work on a 10" blade saw? I've watched several videos on this topic and you really need the right saw and jigs. What if your fence isn't tall enough? The cutting part is easy if you have everything else needed for the job.
10" saws will work for most crown that is under 5". If your fence is to low install a plywood fence during the process.
I love this guy!
What if it's stained crown, what do you do for potential gaps then? Is coping the only method that can help in that case?
Coping will give you much better finish.
Great demo.
Thanks
Dont worry! The painters will take care of the crack of san Andreas.
🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌
Thank you for the helpful video!
Great job ! Good instructor....
Nice work!
Great video very informative. Subbed
Good video. 1 of my friend said caulking will fix it..👍
Good job, and it was very helpful.
Awesome video.
Great video👍
Thanks for sharing. What angle (if any) should I cut the piece before coping it into the straight piece on an inside corner?
Same as if you were mitring it to match the corner you are doing. So for a 90 degree corner you would cut it to a 45 degree angle
Very helpful
Thx. for this great video
Do you not mark the walls for studs and the ceiling joists?
For this size crown the bottom nails would hit the plates and the top nails I just install on an angle to hold tight. You can mark joists and nail directly if you wish.
Professional work as always keep it up!
Must be my OCD -but seeing the ceiling with the crack in it was driving me nuts! Did that get repaired??
Crown can def be a pain to get used to.. but i personally think caulking the seams and touching up the paint and having that part look absolutely perfect is the most frustrating part. lol
Love your videos keep them coming thanks again
I'll add to the negative comments: Dry wall or Gyprock here in Australia, those corners are never going to be 90 degree's ...yes you'll prob need to caulk it. But if it's caulked well you won't see it.
Очень интересное видео спасибо за обзор лайк
It’ll look excellent when he’s done. It’s getting painted not stained.
Nice job
are you catching the studs with the nails? i would think that is why the corner was shaky..
Thanks for the video sir 👍
Im using snap on crown molding less hastle.
???
All I notice is how bad those tape joints are in the ceiling. Please fix those!!
Good job with the mounding btw
Ya, homeowner did it
Thank you
thank you very much for the video.
I'll be using crown stops with a DeWALT saw, therefore not using a jig. I don't have to flip the molding around for my cut, right? Is there anything I should know when using crown stops?
Please come to my website forum with this question and I can answer it there. Thank you
@Hello Richard how are you doing
Do you dress the sheetrocks before putting up the molding
Great Job. Thank you.
Thanks
thank you sir
