I always do square cuts to mate two pieces. Less surface area to match up. Install one piece and measure accurately for the second one. This is all covered in great detail in my Crown-Molding EBook.

This was very useful, thanks. can you offer advice on what to do when your span is longer than a single piece of Crown Molding. I know you have to make a angle cut to join the two (to conceal the joing), but how/where do you measure to insure both end (mitered ends) end up flush to the corners. I'm doing all inside joints by the way... thanks

I've installed thousands of feet of crown, there is no better way, however upsidedown always throws people off

not really what i wanted to hear, but i know you are right. I'll try the right way. thanks

I am sure someone has tried it. It would be like using a putter to drive a golf ball 250 yards. Get the right tool so you don't kill or maim yourself.

Your videos are very helpful. I was wondering if there is any way to cut crown molding with a table saw? i am a new woodworker and all these tools are getting expensive. i want to make the most of each. Thanks for the advice

Thank you. I am just starting out in woodworking. My wife thinks I have a wooden thumb. I enjoy your tips. Keep up the good work!!!

Clamp a straight piece of wood on the vertical fence of the saw.

What if your crown is too big for the top part to be up against the "wall"?
