    @19:07 ish.....a tip......when I mark my crown for a cut line, I also lightly mark the crown molding the angle of the miter cut. This way, in case I forget, while walking to miter saw .The pencil line will tell me which angle to cut.
  • Wow, great explanation. I also sew and that helps me with my orientation. Never could get any one to explain it like you’ve done. Thanks
  • Excellent detailed instruction. You're an articulate and logical teacher. Thank you so much!
  • @andreasmith765
    Thank you so much!! This was incredibly helpful and exactly what I needed to understand the angles.
  • Very good information. The long run where you needed to add a piece to the corner. You have the seam in the WRONG place. The seam needs to be at the edge of the cabinet NOT above the door. With the way that you did the seam when the door is installed and your eyes look at the beautiful wood door and move up to the crown you see a seam. With the seam at the edge of the cabinet (or between doors for a double door cabinet) you only see the beautiful crown and NOT a seam. Now you crown is 8 feet long, stand back and determine where the seam would be the less obvious to the homeowner. Now the seam that you are using WILL cause a problem when the humidity changes in that kitchen (and it will with cooking etc.). When the wood of the cabinets expands because of changes in temperature etc the crown being pushed from each end of that run, the seam will take all of the pressure and the top piece of your seam will be forced to move and NOW you have a ridge to that seam. The CORRECT way to do that seam is a square BUTT seam. The butt seam is a shorter cut than your angle cut therefore with a shorter seam there is less for the homeowner to see. With the BUTT seam you can place a block of wood on the back side to draw the 2 pieces together. With your angle cut seam it can be cut to the right or the left. There again you have to stand back and decide which way to cut it so when the homeowner will NOT look into the edge of the seam but look at the top piece of crown. I worked for a cabinet company for 23 years doing service on million dollar plus homes. When you install light valance/rail do the seams the same way. Before you do the RETURN piece of crown do the front piece that way you can mark it with your pencil then install the already cut return piece. [email protected]

    If you want to perfect your miters, use a sharp thin knife to mark your cut lines and CA glue to join them before install. Just match your pieces up in place beforehand so that they going to give you a perfect fit. It works beautifully. Nice job on the process.
  • This is an excellent video. I installed my new cabinets over a year ago, but still have not installed the crown molding, because I was not confident enough to do it correctly. Your video has given me the confidence to do it. Thanks!
