    To eliminate any angle cutting errors (upside down, inside right…etc) I always make a little outside corner and inside corner samples and label them IR IL OR OL. No more angle mistakes.

    Really need a 12” compound sliding miter box. I know you said that early on, but it would have saved you a lot of headaches. Also if I could make two suggestions.. one always glue all your miters regardless if it’s an inside or outside. Also when running rooms over 16 ft, I use CA GLUE and pre assemble my piece on the ground. That way if you need a 20ft length you can get your seam perfect using that glue. I also back it with a strip of luan like 16 inches long to support the seam. Works amazing and it’s damn near impossible to find the seam after it’s painted

    Last time I did crown I actually used a protractor to measure the miter angle at each corner and wrote that on the wall and then adjusted my angles when cutting. Most were 44 or 46. But then again I have what must be the worst framed building in all of history, so it didn't do much good in the end. No studs were crowned in the making of my condo. The walls have waves for days, man. Nightmare.

      Most walls after mudding are 44-46 degrees. That is so close a 45 will work without a gap showing. Especially on crown moulding where there is only one small contact point on the wall. The ceiling being level is the bigger problem with crown.

      My house was built in 1955, I ran crown in most of it. The walls are wavy, the ceilings are not flat and the guys building it then used the worst of lumber material and probably drunk. Did it with a 10 inch running 3 x 3 crown. I found using dap caulking ( white ) in a squeeze tube works great at filling small gaps and helping to keep it in place. After you wipe away the excess, it looks like one piece.

    Very beautiful work guys! Just a thought: When I've done crown I find it helpful to not fasten a piece of crown all the way to the corner until I install the next piece. By leaving a few feet free, I can roll the crown up and down to adjust my miter joint in the corner. That way, I don't have to shim against the ceiling/wall like you did.

    @6:27 your molding doesn't match your jig-scribed lines because mud build up in the corner. You could modify your L-jig by adding several angle braces and then removing about 1-2" from the inside of the L to provide clearance.
    I prefer to just mark the ends and snap a line. That way I know I have a straight line on the bottom of the molding if the framing is uneven. (if there are high and low joists, a ripple in the bottom of the framing will be much more noticeable than an uneven ceiling line). Plus, it only takes 2 trips up the ladder.

      You guys work well together. On large crown like that, I arrack blocking to the walls so I have good nailing. On larger crown, I use 2" or longer trim screws. I'm not a fan of using a finish gun especially on larger crown. I usually cut my crown on the flat with my 10 " slide. Keep up the good work. I'm been in business for 40 + years now.

      Your just at the mercy of the framing. If framing is bad you just gotta have a good eye and float the high and lows. If you try to run everything in and out and keep your spacing the same it will only magnify bad framin. Crown is super easy if you don't overthink it and keep it simple, and you can make a jacked up wall and ceiling look straight If you know what you are doing, same goes for base or chair rail. Sometimes you just gotta float lol 🤷‍♂️

    CA glue: 1) Richard sells it on the RUclips channel “finish carpentry” 2) fast cap on line was one of the first with their 2-P10 system. I’ve been using that for years. You need that for any trim work. 3) Titebond “quick and thick” used to be known as trim glue. It’s not quite as good as the CA but I’ve used it in a pinch. Again nice work!!

But had a bunch left over and i just thought hey activator activates stuff, i wonder if itll speed up dry times on super glue and yep, instantly dries.. you just gotta watch what you spray the stuff on though.. it will instantly make a sheet of plexy glass go limp or craze the whole surface and that cant be sanded out…. Will melt certain plastics and instantly dissolve foams..

    A super useful trick when hanging a wider crown like that is to cut triangle blocks out of 2x4 and nail them up. The crown will self-align, not have any wave in it, and if you place the block 6" or so from each corner your corners come together super easy. An old-timer I worked with for years taught me that method and I haven't hung crown on drywall without doing it sense, you always have a good nailer, you don't have to worry about cupped drywall and it just takes all the fussing and nonsense out of it.

  • @MicahFunk
    @MicahFunk Год назад +3

    CORNERS can be tricky, but here's the method I use that may help you.
    The first thing I do is cut a short piece of plywood that is the correct dimension for the crown placement on the wall from the ceiling corner. I do similar to what you did in marking the wall using my cut piece of plywood, but I only put a small mark every couple of feet. For me, the marks are not absolute but more of a general goal of where to place the crown.
    The true placement of the crown is derived from the corners of the room. If I'm installing crown in a left-to-right direction around the room, then I keep about a 3-foot piece of crown that is cut to mate with the piece being installed into the corner. I adjust both sides of the corner, making it higher or lower to achieve a tight fit of the miter. This is where I nail it. Sometimes it is dead-on the mark on the wall, or sometimes it's off by a 1/8th". Doesn't matter. Now I adjust and nail the crown along the wall using my marks as a guide, with the most important consideration being how well the crown mates up with the wall and ceiling.
    I find this process allows me to do a first-rate crown install on subpar framing, drywall hanging, or drywall finishing.
    Oh, and I generally install crown without a helper. I use a trim board cut just long enough to lean against the wall and support the other end of the crown at the approximate height. I've become very proficient with this method and can quickly install crown and be precise for a beautiful job.

    I do this day in day out, mostly restoration work on old English homes, but some residential work as well. A laser is far quicker and easier. Back in the day, before laser levels were affordable, our choice of method was the good old fashioned chalk line.
    Personally I would advise again caulk, especially for gaps that large, filler has so many more advantages, you will get a perfect finish with little or no shrinkage and there are amazing fillers on the market that are flexible and very sandable within 24 hours. It takes a little more time, but well worth the effort.
    I highly recommend using adhesive alongside nails. The nails will hold the moulding whilst the adhesive dries for a beautiful bond for decades to come and no worries about expansion and contraction weakening your mechanical fixings.

Paul is very thorough. Nothing is easy, (I was a mechanic, body man and painter for 40 years.) There's a ton of videos with very skilled contractors out there of explaining how to...,but Paul's teaching skills are by far the best (that I have come across). Just because a person is very skilled at what they do doesn't necessarily mean they can teach it very well. I like it when Jordan chimes in, he always has a good point to get across.

    8:13 the other thing about making your own crown jig; don’t have to deal/mess with the ones that come with miter saw…..which can be bad, really bad, usable, and ok😉. IMO, and think for most ppl who do crown often; they have their own jig and method “to the madness”😁
    This entire job has turned out great, did awesome job on the beam, transitions, and the countertops 👍🏻👍🏻.
    Very nice✌🏻

    Have you guys tried the battery pin and brad nailers? So convenient for moulding. I love mine. Lugging around hose and compressors suck! A 2AH battery gets me a full day of nailing.
    Also, Ace and similar stores like that should sell super glue activator. Should work with pretty much any cyanoacrylate glue (CA glue), which I am pretty sure accounts for most "instant bond super glues". The california prop 65 warning on the back probably will say "contains cyanoacrylates which are known in the state of CA to cause cancer" or something like that.

    The reason for coping inside miters is to stop joints from opening when nailed to wall and ceiling. Outside miters naturally tighten when nailed. However, this was a bigger problem when crown was hand nailed. I had a old school amazing craftsman as a teacher He would whack me upside the head if I used caulk to hide sins in joinery. I still believe the best tools for this is a high end hand powered miter box, sharp block plane, Coping saw, a rasp/file. Air nailer and a power miter box is a new school advantage though.

    I'm 72 yr old and am a crown master. I measure, cut, cope and install by myself ... that's another story.
    I have come to discover that if i use a Japanese chalk line (very thin, with pin) and
    connect all the bottom references and install on said line, it becomes the line you
    see when you walk into a room and all potential waves disappear. After my corners
    are set and secure, i then push and fasten the top of the crown.

  • @terryferan9028
    @terryferan9028 2 года назад +1

    For traditional crowns, most compound miter saws have the settings for both angles so you can lay the material flat. Unless you have done the framing, you can only template like that at each corner then snap a line and roll with the ceiling. I always cope, it's more forgiving.

    Attention to detail! I love it - from a fellow craftsman. If at all possible, I like to fill in the deepest low spots in the drywall prior to crown install. It minimizes the thickness of the caulking bead. Sometimes the joint is so big that it draws the eye. Not except-able to me. I've seen as much as 1/2" over only 3 studs. Unfortunately, this means refinishing to blend in the various areas that were filled in. Thus, the biggest down side is an added expense to the homeowner. It's all about communication and managing expectations.

    The only time I use MDF mouldings is when I install larger crowns that don't come in solid wood such as poplar. They are too sensitive in every way. You should look into getting a quality blade for your saw to much flex with those thin curf diablos. Forrest is one.
