0:59 "1 degree....You're not looking..."  Ha-ha, reminds me of the numerous unpleasant times I've tried to help my Dad with projects when I was a kid.

nice coping ! i have my blade set in this same direction and everyone on the job complains that its backwards ? i don't care i have more control this way

[dewaltcarp]

Thinner blade makes it way easeyer to make the turns. Other that that great Vid!

@infinera06 Nothing like "good enough" craftsmanship. I bet all your tools say Kobalt on them.

This guy has passed, so I have been reading from past posts. Damn good carpenter. It is funny that ppl would rather post there so called armchair smarts on carpentry then read what has already been written. That would tell me if they cant read, then they are not a good carpenter as they dont listen either!!

but ya did ok but when i do it it looks like its one peace like it not a joint but anyway thats me keep workin on it

[waynescountry]

hell ill do that in under 2 mins with the coping saw man

[waynescountry]

well this is ok but if ya work on an old place you need more angle and do it all with the saw you doint need a chop saw just a good pencil line and a good eye

skill with a coping saw. i never get it right.

[infinera06]

Imagine having to do this for the whole house! Just make a 45 degree angle on both ends and fill in any gaps with caulk!

Finally a coping video where the camera angle lets you see what is going on. I just saw 4 of them where a hand or the saw frame obscure the view of the blade on the piece. Nicely done!
