Properly Cutting Crown Molding Angles, The Long Run

When it comes to the how to of crown molding, we at Cut N Crown have been the running experts now for over 12 years. Not only is our crown molding jig hands down the best system for cutting crown molding but we have been educating woodworkers beyond just our tools. We teach you many how to crown molding techniques on our youtube page that show how you can take on certain aspects of your crown moulding job beyond the simple 90 degree straight corner. Join us in this small tutorial on long runs with crown molding using splices and scarf joints. Remember while this may be elementary to you it is actually something new and unused by our newer crown molding amateurs. We all remember when we first started out do we not?

Remember what Sheldon is talking about here can be applied to any crown molding installation just listen to what he says. Of course he is using his tool to teach it but what you have to know is the proper way to join those crown moulding long runs. Cutting the crown molding angle is the most important long run joint you can have and it is important to for beginners to know how to do it properly, with or without a crown molding jig. Too many times have we been down to a new friends home and noticed that his crown molding butts straight up to the next run, we always hope for his sake that it was like that before he bought the house but are hesitant to ask. You do not want to be that rude house guest or a crown molding snob...
