This is completely useless. Unless you already know the terms that this guys is using you have now clue what he is referring to. The terms need to be described in layman's terms. Plus there wasn't a single example showing why he was cutting any of the angles the way he was. Lame as hell. What a waste of time and cost of producing this! Next time hire a professional who understands the target audience.

He has a compound miter saw....why would he cope the edge. Thats called double work!

@Pilotdude113 Seriously? You only need to be worried studs if your hanging heavy items (ie: cabinets, flat screen TVs). Crown molding is 1oz per 8 inches.

After 40 years of crown installing I had to laught at how hard he was making this. That is why I still have work doing it over what the home owner. Thank you and keep up the good work.

this guy is a hack. an amateur. a clown.  he did nothing correctly.

I am not a pro, but I did have one come over for 1/2 hour, best advice ever........make a jig, to keep the wood in place at the correct angle (just like it would sit on the wall, remember each crown molding is different), from there all you have to do is cut inside right, outside right, inside left and outside left cuts (some are yes upside down) easiest way ever. (I have the compound mitre saw) but did not need to use it, just cut 45's (22-1/2s) if required. NO BOOK OR VIDEO SHOWS THIS>>>>!!!

why isn't he nailing to any studs? bad idea

[hovh03]

The wall is 45? I thought it's around 90 most of the time. But if he misspoke, then 22.5 definitely confirm the 45 part. That's strange. The measurement is so quick, the guy may as well say it. Measure the length from here to there. Unless there is a tip or two into it. Really lame video.

I was starting to "get it" but this video wiped out all the knowledge I had gained up to this point. I have to start over and make sure not to watch this video. I will know that it is the one that messed me up when I see my own name in the Comments part. I cannot cope with this confusing tutorial.
