TIL a trick for cutting crown that actually works
I was helping a buddy frame a house up in Bend last month and saw him cut crown flat on his miter saw. I always thought you had to use those crazy compound angles. He just laid the piece flat, measured the wall angle, and cut it like a regular board. Took me a second to get it, but we did a whole room in about half the time. Has anyone else tried this method on a big job?

Sounds like a good shortcut for basic work. That flat method can leave gaps on anything but perfect walls though. I'd still use the compound angles for a clean finish.

Gaps are a real problem with that method. Compound angles take more time but give a way better finish. It's worth the extra effort for a clean job.
