COPING WITH CROWN

A video that actually shows you how to cope crown molding, instead of just saying"Cope your crown molding.
Coping with Crown I was killing some time watching some videos at YouTube the other day and came across a bunch of videos about "How to install Crown Molding", I felt many missed the mark. Crown molding has gotten a reputation of being difficult to install and I admit I have seen plenty of poorly installed crown, but with just a little bit of understanding and guidance almost anyone can do an admirable job. Part of the problem is just figuring out how to cut the molding. That topic will be dealt with in another video. You seem to be stymied before you even get started and your anxiety level goes through the roof. Another part of the problem is making the coped joint. Once you get the cutting part figured out you now have to use a joinery technique that you may have only heard of before. You might be tempted to use a mitered joint, don't do it. This short video concentrates on making the coped joint. The coped joint is the proper joint for any inside corner, and especially useful for crown molding due to it's forgiving nature and ability to make minor corrections by rolling the joint (he, he, heh, rolling the joint, we need to talk about that later also).

To cope crown molding with a coping saw is like using a hand crank drill to drill holes.

They make cordless drills now. Oh also miter saws.
