Subject: Crown Molding in Square Room

Has anyone found a good coping tutorial online? i've tried and tried
but have yet to experience much success in coping...


I use a Dewalt miniginder with a 36 grit
sanding disc to do all of my coping. It
helps to trim as much of the backcut away
as possible on the miterbox beforehand. Then I swipe
the side of my pencil over the profile of
the finished cope to get a clear picture
of where I'm grinding to, and let the dust
fly. It's very fast, but don't try it for the
first time on your last piece of walnut
crown.
