These videos show how a true craftsman’s mind interacts correctly and effectively with his craft. “It just doesn’t get old.” That says so much about his day-to-day thinking. He keeps his learning fresh and ALWAYS looks for better ways to do his craft. A dose of enthusiasm helps too. I love and appreciate this fine example.

TRUTH!

I've watched a couple of videos on how to use this tool and none of them were detailed or clear enough. You are a natural at teaching and giving clear instructions. I knocked my baseboards out the park thanks to you, they actually look like a professional did them thanks soooooo much.

Whoa! I bought this tool before seeing this and wow do you blow the manufacturer's instructions out of the water. So much better, thorough and exhaustive in details! Wonderful job thank you so much.

When the pro says "it doesn't get old..." after seeing his good work...that's the kind of teacher I want to learn from. Right?

I watched a bunch of your videos about a year ago, and I thought I forgot about all the information I learned until a week ago when my in-laws asked me to help with trim work on a trailer they were selling. For my first try, I did well. A little common sense and help from your videos kept me from getting too frustrated. APPRECIATE YOU MAN !

Today I installed crown at my grandmas house for the first time. I used all the same tools and used all your tips. Let’s just say it turned out flawless. Thank you so much for all your help. I hope I see you at a local Home Depot one of these days so I can thank you personally. I’ve been watching your channel for the last 8 months and I’ve seen every one of your videos. I love your home improvement videos because I feel like you went way more in depth and that’s exactly what I needed! At 16:40 I noticed the door behind you still hasn’t been trimmed out yet. Maybe that could be a “how to” for a future video! Really love what you’ve done in your last 3 uploads. Keep up the great work, thank you again! Ps. Like the shirt by the way, haven’t seen you rock that one in a while lol

Love watching a craftsman at work. Most cannot appreciate the pride this PRO has in his work... Keep creating art my friend.

Thats a great tool, You demonstrated it really well. Love that crown jig for the saw

All in all you're doing a great job of teaching people with les's talent, how to do a better job. Good for you, brother

Always good to see you testing new tools. Your videos have helped me with many projects and choosing the best tools to simplify the process!

Really like watching your videos. You definitely live what you do and do a great job! I used to be a full time trim carpenter and found the Starrett - 12" Pro Site Protractor to be very accurate and easy to work with. It’s a bit pricey but it was worth it in my book.

Thanks for all your videos.. threw some baseboard down today and your vids helped me immensely.. thanks for the tip with the grinder sanding flaps for coping inside corners.. also I'm about to grab this tools because my house has plaster walls so nothing is near 90deg. Keep up the great work .

Glad to see you back!! You are one of my first subs and still one of my favorites!

I’m a carpenter rough and finish 46 years. I enjoy the videos a lot. You know your stuff. I’m going to look into that dewalt crown attaching jig

I'm sold. Bought it. Another great review. I have very similar complaints with the starrett and my digital protractor, much rather calibrate to the blade actually

Long time viewer and I really enjoy how informative your videos are. Great job as always I will def grab one of these tools, keep up the great work.

Headed into my golden years and planning some major rework in an older family home. Your video sold me on the Bora angle finder. Thank you!

The reason I like this tool is it doesn’t rely on your saw being 100% accurate; whereas the Starrett -you usually read the degree and then adjust your saw to the correct angle. Ergo, since you’re duplicating the angle, you’re less likely to introduce errors into the equation.

Even if your saw is dead nuts, it's always more accurate to scribe instead of measure. This is more or less scribing as opposed to measuring with the Starrett.

Looks pretty good, thanks for your testing and feedback.

- The tools are great but your skill & 'know how' lends to the perfection we see in your projects.

He makes it look so easy, thanks for the tips

Man! I need to start watching your videos from newest to oldest. I just got my Skerrett ProSite Miter Saw Protractor. LOL. Again. you are a genius. Thank you for this channel.

Nice video. I appreciate the review and demonstration of the tool. I’ve wanted one for a time and now I know why I need it.

Really enjoy your instructional videos. Thanks for sharing.

he had his measurement set @ 27% , he could have inverted the timber in the chop saw , should be be a precise cut . A carpenter would know this .

Thank you for a great video! Great explanations and demonstration!

Love your videos there is always loads of stuff to learn.. from tools.. to the work currently being done...I have a question ..where did you get the miter saw table ..and can you do a video on the whole set up..plz..

That bad ass and you are a talented young man. You have great content. Your a true professional.!!!

Another excellent video. Great discussion and demonstration.

Flooring guy here. Yeah that could be useful in odd angle cuts. You could form that to the angle, lock it and then set it on a tile and trace it out. Cool vid bro

Can I just say that I have been an teaching instructor for many years teaching many people how to teach and put across what they have in their head for people to learn. But for the first time I think you have me beat. The way that you `teach´ on KZread, I don't think there is anything I would be able to teach you! There is another career for you one day!

just started watching your videos and subscribed. really informative, as a "joe" 😄 it helps to be able to see someone really break things down and share.

i love your videos. thank you for taking the time to make them.

Looks like is a must tool for an enthusiast and pros like, thanks for sharing ,and your crown profile it's nice,.

Great video Brother you always are so good to explain I hope your business is booming and your family is good

I have been a carpenter with my own business. since 1986. I used a (Sliding T-Bevel) and a compass, to find the angle, much like your new-fangled gadget. I whistled very often at work! (Ha Ha). I had a bad accident in 2008, (un related to work) and am no longer able to work, I get a grate deal of enjoyment watching your videos. It brings back allot of great memories, I really miss it. Now my tools mostly sit quiet. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids. BTW, how do you go about explaining to your customers, why your hired man is following you with a camera, rather than holding up the other end of your work etc.?

Thanks for your knowledge wise man!! Very useful videos. Keep it up!!

Just bought one of these. This thing is money. Thanks for the tip.

Bora has a link to this video in their sales emails. I hope they've compensated you for your review. On a side note, I love that wide cove moulding. I would prefer it came in a stain grade pine to use in my Craftsman home.

I would say this is a tool worth having for measuring corners inside and out. I already have a Bosch electronic angle finder so I'll just keep with that.

Love your vids. Always learn so much.

Love your logo on the "Duhwalt" shirt. Measure once cut twice. Hilarious.

The whistle! Separating the pros from the Joes. 👍 Thanks for sharing your knowledge; helps me become a better Joe around the house!

Always a good learning experience.

I was just gonna say... Its the DuhWalt shirt for me LOL

I use the Starrett miter protractor with great results. One tip I would give is I make a temp 22.5° miter glue up & tack it in places so I know exactly where to measure to with bullnose. It works great even if the wall is a hair obtuse.

Handy, I have a similar tool, all aluminum instead of the red the plastic body hence easier to align on either side of the saw. For my money the starrett gauge has the efficiency advantage. With the Starrett you don’t have to run back and forth from room to saw for each measurement. Each piece fo crown requires two trips inside, one for each side/corner and that makes for slow and tiring work on even small jobs.

Awesome tool and nice job on the crown .....i love your shirt too, thats funny 🤘

The Bora miter is like the old school sliding bevel gauge I have with an ebony handle , brass locking nut and 8" SS blade. I've seen it similar with a digital read out that is fancy and expensive. I'm off to get a Bora miter to add to my collection.

With the Starrett gauge you go around the room and write down all the numbers & angles together and take 1 trip to the saw to cut everything. 😉 That other thing seems like too much back n fourth, especially if there's stairs involved 👍

Awesome shirt. This is the best carpentry channel on KZread. Awesome

I think the tool looks great. The only possible problem I see is that when you're checking a small piece,at a corner you have to take into consideration that the corner bead has been built out with mud so that a longer piece is not going to sit as tight on the wall which is going to change the angle slightly which means the miter maybe a little Tighter on the parts of the crown molding that are protruding out more the backside of the molding, and the shallow parts will leave a gap. For paint grade molding, it's not a problem because there's a little bit of phila to put in but when it comes to stain grade molding, there is a little bit of a loss of precision. and the problem is is no easy way to fix that short of temporarily attaching a longer board on the wall and getting your angle off of it instead of off of the drywall/ corner bead situation. Truth be told you probably better than me with crown molding. I just wish there was somebody who's old-school could cut perfect miters that don't require a putty or spackle at the joints. Is there anybody out there who could give me a few pointers on how to get a more precise miter

Love your show. Where do I buy the spring loaded clamps you used on the corner window seal to hold in place the corner piece? Keep the videos coming.

It tickles my fancy to know that there is another good young trim Carpenter out there. I'm 31 been in the business for 14 years but particularly a finish Carpenter for the last 4. I'm the youngest trim guy I've seen😑🥶

I've been using Bora Mitex on a double stairway install for the last month, I like it because I dont have to care about what the angles are just match it at the miter saw and done! I was never good at geometry and now I don't have to be.

Wowow Very impresses Great video bro 👍 Thank you for sharing

You are a perfectionist who is proud of his work. Nice job

nice video Thank You for the Lessons with miters

Every Festool Kapex comes with a similar tool and I rarely see a carpenter use it or even know what it is for. Good job with the video.

Was looking at this the other day now ill definitely be buying. Off topic question...how do you calibrate your saws? Thanks again awesome video

i love your channel so much, thank you

SCOTT BROWN HERE.... wait.. wrong channel lol Love both of ya

Yeah as below the Festool kapex 120 which has been out years and years now comes with one. All the other companies have now caught up with ideas and development in making their own. The idea was thought out and designed at Festool which is one reason why it can be good to invest in new inivations. The kapex was expensive but its earned my money over the years and it’s mitre finder saved me so much time over the years. Everyone that sees it loves it.

That fast dry glue is both a blessing and a curse. It's good to have a steady hand, and a good pair of eyes when working with it.

I recently installed glass tile in my bathroom and I now have to install the door trim. I've looked around youtube and it looks like people are leaving the trim in place and tiling up to it. I didn't do this. I tilled to the just outside the reveal with the trim removed. Should I attache the trim to the glass tile with liquid nails and nail to the door frame?

Nice. I'm getting to be a tool junkie too thanks to you.

Love this channel anything to make life a bit easier 😷

thanks I ordered it just received it. the problem is I have vaulted ceilings and bill nose I wish you could help with that lots of weird turns and vaulted ceilings ...wished u lived in California! :)

Thanks for passing on your knowledge, and not being selfish, going into detail keep doing what you do I never done any carpenters work and I don’t know any but I like the way you teach.

Awesome, dude. I've been using a Stanley digital angle finder, but this thing is far more practical.

I also have both tools the only problem I have with the bora duplicator is u can only do 1 angle at a time then have to go to the saw to check it. With the starrett I can check multiple angles get measurements and go cut everything.

Best vids sir! EXCELLENT WORK

Nice work! Seems like a great tool.

Other nice video demonstrating what can be achieved and accomplished by accurate use of both skills, knowledge and tools in the goal of creating the desired affect on aesthetic in design and quality of workmanship. I am getting up there in age, but the greatest lesson I ever learned was that knowledge not shared is knowledge lost. Once gone that knowledge is hard to get back. Knowledge and skills passed down to others keeps that knowledge along with those skills alive and flourishing for others to accomplish what seems like the impossible task when creating. Keep the knowledge coming there are even times and old dog can learn newer improvements of the trade.

Nice shirt haha. I can measure 3 or 4 times and still cut twice maybe three times but I've realized it was mainly my saw setup wasn't completely squared.

Can't wait just ordered one

Love the shirt!!!! Haha matt would love ya!!

Quick question on measuring. When ever I try to measure the length of a crown on a slightly rounded corner like the one in the vid. Im always cutting it a little bit at a time until I get it to where it's perfect. It just takes a long ass time. I'm new to the finishing scene. Any tips on measuring so I can be accurate and confident that way I'm not running back and forth to the saw

Thanks for showing us this tool, it would have been great if you also showed us how you get the length between miters......

Only thing I might find inferior about this tool is the inability to batch cut. I’ve never installed crown before though so I don’t know if that’s bad practice. I started watching some Insider Carpentry lately and he likes to do batch cuts.

Your videos are so educational. What type of blade are you using for the miter cuts? I’m a do it yourselfer

Hi love video , can you do a video on mitre bench and crown jig and about drop saw as seen a milwalkee and dewalt battery ? I ask this as im finally secoming to battery stuff as my apprentices have some and I seen dewalt has a womdrive 60v saw would the battery fit the drop saw

Good explanation and pro skills thanks

From one tipster to another.....I spent a lot of time re-installing crowns that have sagged from the weight and 18 gauge nails. So to combat this I started using small dabs of PL about a 1/4 inch in from a chalk line I layout beforehand. People tend to eye the meeting point where they meet at the ceiling. Thanks for all the great tips
