was it an illusion? I don't think you did bevel cut. if you added the bevel cut, your jig wouldn't have worked

great video but my question is do you always transfer your measurement either inside or outside corner to the bottom edge of the molding?

The jig he makes is all important however. At the very least draw a pencil line on the fence so you always hold the crown in the same place while cutting.

Cope cope cope, yes it is better and once you understand how to do it it's easier. If you use a jig saw, which does take a little practice to get good at, it's faster as well. Mitering inside corners is for beginners and people who don't take trimming seriously.

I have always coped crown mldg. and hated every minute of it, but I sure will try your way of doing it. also I love that tool to get the exact measurement of the corners. I have one on order.
I am redoing an entire house and want to put crown in every room. I think I am looking forward to cutting it this time..Thanks,I will let everyone know how it turned out.

Ron's videos are always informative and well done, but this one is exceptional. Labeling the moldings as he cuts made a difficult job much easier. Thanks, Ron

To those with vaulted ceilings, I found the easiest way was to make a joint from scrap wood and keep playing with it until it is right. I questioned Ron once before on this since he makes it look so easy, never did hear back.

Love the idea but I am not the biggest fan of crown mouldings. I will consider making the jig.

I am planning to have a new house built for my retirement. I will not be able to oversee the construction but will make trips for the major stuff. I certainly hope they will do a good job. My big fear is it will not be completely square.

Hi, Ron,
What do you do about the gaps between the molding and the uneven walls? Even my relatively new home doesn't have true flush walls.

I see several comments regarding coped inside corners. Doesn't a coped joint handle variations in moisture and temperature better than a mitered joint? Isn't this, in fact, the reason that coped joints have been the standard and are still popular in absolutely top grade work?

the gage was a lifesaver, I had some crown molding in the garage for two years afraid of the cuts. My wife downloaded your website I went on it and saw the video. I immediately found the gage at Rockler and in a couple of days I had the molding done. Would have had it done in one day if I had started in the morning.

How do you handle crown molding on a horizontal wall going to a slopped ceiling and at the peak of a slopped ceiling. Also a wall at a 45 with the wall and slopped ceiling. Confusing bu hope I explained it correctly.

I've considered adding crown molding a few times but I'm always stopped by the cuts required to do my cathedral ceiling. Does this gadget determine cuts required by corners like the one shown in this picture -- http://goo.gl/EHbKl

Thanks for the great video, Ron - I was just taught to cut "upside-down & backwards, then cope the joints...
