On the inside corner shown in the video there seems to be a large gap at the bottom where it meets the wall, is there an easy way to get rid of this and have it look as "finished" as the outside corner without using a filler?

You just cut a small triangle of wood from flat stock and glue it in...... Takes two minutes, maybe less.

Not at all. As I stated on the cover page of this channel, I desire comments that add value. Your original comment added nothing here but an attitude - and a bad one at that. Anyone reading your comment takes away that you feel your better because you - I'm guessing because you are invisible at your channel - get paid to install crown. If you didn't mean that, tell us exactly what you meant. At the same time, tell us who you are and what you do.

i don't know why you just got so upset with my previous comment. problems with the wife maybe?

[AsktheBuilder]

Truer words have possibly never been spoken. I've installed crown molding for a pay check for over 33 years. That means I started 8 years before you were even a glimmer in your father's eye. I went to your channel and there's not one carpentry video there. Focus your energy on sharing your knowledge instead of going around making comments that add little or no value to the ecosystem.

installing crown for a pay check is alot different then installing crown for DIY video.

I respectfully disagree and I have the proof that my method works. Your myopic attitude tells us all we need to know. I never said coping doesn't work. My method produces the same fit, or better, in less time. I would not call that lazy, more productive though comes to mind. :->

Your joints will be inferior unless you are some evil genius. Avoiding the cope is the lazy handyman's way and therefore is not the way a professional carpenter would use, and certainly should never be recommended in a how-to video.

[AsktheBuilder]

Great question! The only problem with your method is that you *must* cut the crown to the precise angle to produce the cut line for the coping saw. Since you have the right angle, why cope???????? In the time you spend coping, I already have two other cuts complete and nailed in place.

[myndenway]

For inside joints, shouldn't one just cope the cut and then you don't have to worry about the angle being a bit off.
