Pro tip: I stopped cutting crown molding flat on the saw and built a simple jig instead
For years I cut crown molding laid flat on the miter saw table, guessing the angle and then fighting every corner with caulk at the end. Two winters ago a guy named Dale at the lumber yard in Boise showed me how to nest the crown against a scrap block so the saw cuts it the way it sits on the wall, and now my inside corners close up tight the first time. What's your go-to method for cutting crown, do you use the nested trick or stick with the flat table and a chart?
