Installing Crown Molding: Pre-Assembly & Installation 

Thanks Gary! I surprised myself. I was able to measure a complete room, cut it remotely and install the crown almost flawlessly. Your presenting and teaching skills, no mind your carpentry skills, are much appreciated. Good stuff.

A lot of great tips. You obviously have been doing it for a while because you make it look so easy. Some of your tricks would have helped me over the years from making some of my mistakes.

very good sir, wow, your explanation is so good and understandable that I can't believe how inefficient I was before. I can see how well versed you are in your work. Since I can't apprentice under you I might as well purchase your videos as they are money in the bank! Thank you

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Out of level ceilings can cause both inside copes and outside miter cuts to require adjustment, depending on the direction of the slope. For stain grade work in rooms presenting such conditions in older buildings, etc., especially rooms with offsets requiring a cope on one end and an outside miter on the other end of pieces too long for pre-assembly, do you still cut multiple crown pieces to final length per your cut list as you recommend in this video series, or do you fit the joints one end at a time to avoid the possibility of coming up short?

You do a beautiful job thank you for sharing your passion for this business with us!

Gary,What Brand of 23 Gauge Pin Nailer is that you are using?I Love ALL you videos!!! I've gotten sooooo much better at my Finish Wood Working Thanks to You!!!JJ50

great videos....would you do the same setup for installing kitchen cabinet crown??? knowing that a lot of the cabinets really are not perfectly square??? im doing an install this week and considering building my self a larger square up table similar to your jig to try your way....keep up the awesome videos

Great video and instruction! Thanks for the uploads.

Your like the Bob Ross of wood working Great vid

What length of 23g pin did you put in the corners? 1”?

What do you do when the walls are not leveled or squared and the ceiling is bowing so are the walls

or you could use 2P10 to glue your miter and it would take about 10 seconds and you wouldn't have to use clamps or a nailer for a final result.

thanks Albert Einstein, wonderful job, the best explanation to install crown molding.

Thank God Gary uses his powers for good.

A damp rag works much better than your finger and the edge of your work bench. Also, never fire a nailer towards yourself. I've seen these nails go right through the baseboards and trim pieces before.

Good Morning! could pass a manual draft template to the crown. I do not have a saw cutter in half miter. Thank you.

Great video. You make it look easy, but I know it takes practice, like anything.

I have no words is fantastic tip thank you

brilliant instruction, I learned so much!!!

Now all you have to do is go find a pair of square corners to install it on. I’ve never been able to find one of those rooms. Take care.

I liked this video, but you didn't have a tight joint on the cope end. Your angle was off about 2 degrees which opened the top part of the trim. Thanks for the video.

You make it look easy... Im gonna try it...

I see it's a Cadex but what Model???Thanks

Awesome video, you need some young kid next to you to teach them the awesome skill you have.

That was very nice but there is one point that the real walls are not perfect 90 degrees, you should have a protractor to find the real angle. Good luck

A boss I had ,would kill me for wiping glue on the bench top. Made sense to me , quality without comparison. Potential nice piece getting all scratched up. Just saying . You have some good tutorials.

I bet this guy biscuit joints his window trim corners, craftsmanship.

whould you please tell me what is the angels i'll use

The glue squeeze-out is giving me anxiety. Wait to long to wipe it off on stained work, and your wood will be ruined completely. If you leave glue like that on wood, it will not take stain in that spot. It will leave a big ugly light spot the is very visible. So, for anyone out there who doesn't do this for a living, wipe ALL excess glue IMMEDIATELY with a damp cloth. Do not leave ANY glue residue behind. Wait too long, and you'll be sorry you were quicker to wipe it off. I know from experience. Don't learn the hard way.

"SAWSET PROTRACTOR" is the most accurate miter finder out there. No Math. No gimmick. Do the comparison.

Since when does the ogee go against the ceiling and not the wall?

Better to use glue and activator on opposing mitres then no need for nails

I have to get me some of those mitre clamps !!!

Sr your the man im smashing my like botton katakaboooooooooooooooom

Has anybody ever corrected you on which way the crown goes up? This is the second video where I see you cut pieces together the wrong way. The curving mortise goes on the bottom half when installed on the wall. Be blessed my friend

👍 couldn't have done it better myself

great ! thumbs up

Master !!!!!

The biggest downside to commenting on silly videos is getting more of them. Oh well, I guess it's just the price you have to pay. My problem with this one is the same as the one about coping crown mold: he's way over-thinking everything. A competent trim carpenter would have been done and on their way home before this guy quit fiddling around, scratching his head, making jigs and applying goofy clamps.

Using too much glue! Should be using CA instead.

Hack use jig still always. So you didn't figure out how to cut compound cut after installing crown for 40 years.

Ca glue...cleaner and faster....
