    Finish Carpentry TV couldn't you stand up the crown against the back rail, and 45 the seam? Or even the 22.5? (Corner mitres maybe flip.) That is.......if you don't have the little kicker\ adjusters that you use? Just curious. Definitely like you're work and yes.....keeping the eye away from seams is a pro thing. Hide the seams. You're in a nice neighborhood for a reason. Did you make you're overall length a little bit long for the snap in technique you referenced? ( On purpose I mean, like a strong "16th") Well that and your spackle and glue makes for a snug, nice installation. Good job man! Really good tutorial.

I've watched some of your other videos for vaults and funky cuts, absolutely stunning work.

Thanks for making these types of videos for other carpenters such as myself and also beginners.

    Of course not, but when you're doing every aspect of a job to a high degree extra time costs money. This isn't to say that craftsmen are unable to do good work fast, but to do every aspect of a job to the highest degree of skill with the available amount of time is rarely feasible - I don't think any homeowner of craftsman would disagree with that.

    This video changed the way I've done molding for the past two years, Now I make whole super glued sub-assemblies to go around end walls. Best fitting corners ever, even on less than straight walls. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Drydex will crack when you lift it up from the prep surface. I prefer to finish the seam after the installation. Btw, Crack shot works better.

    Over all - Excellent video. Please let me make a few suggestions. 1) I've been using CA glue since 1979. Looks like you're using Bob Smith brand which is a good, general purpose CA glue. CA glue's come in Thin, Medium and Thick. In this video you used thin. No problem but please know you used way too much. CA glue's will hold just fine WITHOUT the use of an Activator or "Kicker" as we call it. Simply place it on ONE side and then put the two sides together and hold for a minute or two. The use of Activator (i.e. Kicker) is just to make the glue set up faster. However the problem is if you kick off the glue as you did.. it immediately wants to set... thus you had to shove your 2 pieces together quickly. And, sometimes you can't get your joints lined up straight before the glue kicks off. The correct way is to place Thin or Medium CA glue on one side. Position your parts together then KICK off the seam with the activator. The Activator will get into the seam and kick the glue via capillary action. 2) Another problem with kicking off the glue they way you did is that you had to use way too much to give you time to position your parts. CA glue is kind of expensive so that was a waste. Next, looking at the bottom you had chunks of HARD glue and dirt / concrete. Sanding off hardened CA glue is... well it's HARD. The kicker makes it foam up and it makes little hard glue spots which are hard to sand. 3) Last, you should consider sweeping the area you are going to work on of all debris before your work on it. Dirt, grit, sawdust... whatever. I like to buy wax paper from a Dollar Store and put down a 12" piece. CA won't stick to waxed paper or if it does... it will peel off easily. Keep up the good work and thanks for all of your video's.

    Correcting some of Kolin's correction, with more fine points: Kolin is correct in that you don't need the activator for CA gluing of a wood joint, and that the purpose of it is only to accelerate the curing to save you some time. Also very true that in the video above, Richard is using far too much glue. The stuff is truly powerful, to the point where less is far better. Also far less expensive that way! I personally use small dots of it along one side of a joint when working on baseboards or casing, or short dashed lines of it when the joint is larger. This has the extra benefit of allowing the glue a place to expand to when pushing the joint together, which also allows the joint itself to be more tightly pushed together for a superior fit/result. Otherwise, you're trying to smash a giant smear of that glue into a paper-thin plane. It'll actually hold the joint farther apart with that much applied. Secondly, spraying activator directly on the glue like Richard is doing immediately starts the curing, which hinders the glue from spreading out properly when pushing it together. It also drastically shortens the time you have to orient the two pieces accurately. Pretty much why he suddenly had to shove them together. What happens if you miss on that first try is that you have to cut the piece off and do it over with another section of crown, saving the cutoff for use in another location. On that note, having to actually sand the crown down to get it to fit means you did miss, and it'll 100% show once finish paint is applied. The proper use of CA and activator is that the glue is applied to one side of the joint, and activator *to the other*. This gives you more time to correctly orient the details of the pieces and push them together carefully, instead of a panicked shove. Two helpful tips are: 1) However you choose, be sure to push that CA glue a bit into the fibers of the one piece for a better connection, like maybe with the tip of the applicator bottle. And 2): Allow the spray activator to evaporate for a few seconds before joining the pieces. The wetness is only the acetone carrier of the actual chemical that 'kicks' the glue. Once the acetone evaporates, it'll leave behind that chemical to do its job and bond with the glue when the pieces are joined. If you've done all the above and slowly/carefully pushed the pieces together (yes, you'll have time), you should have a joint that needs no filling or sanding whatsoever, paints up beautifully, and is super strong. Last point: *always* respect a client's property. Yes, that even means the sidewalk. I'd be pissed if I hired a finish guy to do some trim on my house and he didn't put something beneath his glue work and left blobs of it all over my sidewalk. Just saying, as this is super common mistake that tradespeople make, and an easy adjustment to make in your routine. I guarantee it'll make you a star when that certain homeowner takes notice of how much you cared about all areas of their property.
