Great job on putting that wife to work, when she's done that she can go re-roof the house and I'll bring you some fresh water for your trouble. Yee Haa !

Primary reason for not using a miter saw is that not all inside corners are 90 degrees. Some will be 87, some will be 91 1/2, etc. If you cope the piece correctly, it doesnt matter if the corner isn't perfectly square..... your joint will still look flawless. Also, remember that you only have to cope the second piece in each corner; the other one is a quick, simple straight cut ran long into the wall.

Even with the jig, you'll want a non-orbital variable speed jigsaw with fine tooth blade.

or not waste your money on a pointless jig and jigsaw. A coping saw costs 15 bucks and works just as good but faster.

Thanks for the vid. I picked one of these up from rockler.com but wasn't entirely sure how to use it. For those of us who aren't carpenters, this show-and-tell is what we need.

Pretty slick little invention... holds the saw at a good angle so you cut it back far enough.

I'll bet the guys claiming they could cut it faster by hand coping never spent an entire day crowning a coffered ceiling.

An experienced carpenter like myself would clamp the work piece to a work table and freehand jigsaw cope at least 2 in that time I'm betting I could do 3 because it's fjp which is some soft stuff. However I think she did a great job on that piece I just wonder how many takes it took them to get that one.

This video doesn't explain ANYTHING. If you'd been more forthcoming, I would venture to look at your product. As it stands, this video is a waste of time and bandwidth. Big thumbs down.

she talks to much

[mrwiggles2]

True, but not if you don't have the arm strength to do an entire project. She held that line pretty good with a heavy jigsaw.

Are you married?

this ia absurd, you can cope with a coping saw faster than a jig saw and don't need to lug around the extra tools.

you make it look so simple. I am going out tomorrow and buying a new battery for my jigsaw. I am going to be really upset if I cant do it. I've just spent my entire weekend trying to do this with a coping saw. Damaged several scrap pieces of some expensive crown moulding. Not happy. My husband and I are barely talking b/c I wont give it up. I cant wait to try this tomorrow. thanks for the video
