This is the old school way of installing crown before the newer saws came out. this way was taught to me.. but we have switched to compound miters 15years ago because they offer more control over the cuts. Coping is a must for inside corners probably one of the best tricks taught buy the old school. but ditch the coping saw. Use a jig jaw or grinder.

I'm not a carpenter but, I installed crown in several rooms of my home about 20 years ago with a miter saw and it's just as tight now as then. Why cope when you can miter?

No finish carpenter worth his salt would ever 45 an inside corner of a crown molding. Shrinkage over time will open the joint and look bad. You should always use the coping saw method.

very clear explanation - the best demo.. thank you

very good instructions, but if you've ever did drywall on an outside or inside corner, not all corners are exactly 45degrees. Some older homes have heavy plaster and inside corners actuall are less than 45degrees because of the built-up plaster and paint, some websites have calculators to compensate for walls less than 45 or more than 45degress. Also not all crown molding has a 45 degree spring angle, that's the angle between the wall the the inside back of the molding
