Where is part 3 of this video where you show install? You said you were going to show how to notch the baseboard with a utility knife to fit your 1/16th cutout. In addition, I would love to see your technique for install.
A variable grinder with a sanding wheel makes coping easy work.
I have a odd cut I’m not having any luck with and yes I’m inexperienced but I’m trying to learn. I’m trying to cope cut the baseboard which will be butted up against a cabinet toe kick which has some decent curves to it. I can’t trace the side I’m installing on so I traced the opposite side on the left on the back side of a scrap piece of baseboard. My issue is when I cut it with my coping saw the curves don’t quite line up even though it’s traced perfectly and I’m cutting on the line. It’s almost like it’s shifting the curves vertically a little and then it won’t sit flush and leaves about a 1/8″ gap. Is their a trick to this type of cut? I thought surely I could just trace it and cut it but it’s not working. I wasn’t cutting my trim at 45degree first but is that required if your not mating the same two pieces of trim?
if you got the money buy a coping machine if your doing this for living
You are a great teacher
Thank you!
Great tutorial Your a natural teacher.
powerful Dremels with toothed cut-off blades work nicely also for coping. And they are very lite and easy to hold,,,, but you REALLY have to watch your clothing around them.
I coped some crown a few years back using a 20 year old cheap jig saw and Gary’s DVD. As I approached close to the line I used a Dremel with a sanding drum. It came out great. Now I am have a barrel saw with a Collins Coping Foor and am going to run a couple hundred feet of BB.
Stan lee?
Ever heard of a dremil? This is like a video from the 60’s
Just bought the jigsaw coping shoe and stumbled upon your video for techniques on using it.
Your video is very informative (probably more for professionals than amateurs )
Cheers!

Great Work !!! Thank You!!!!
The best coping instructions I’ve found yet. Thanks!
You’re awesome.
You are by FAR the best at explaining anything on carpentry, THANKS!
What blade are you/is he using?
THANK you forf this!
Amazing that I have been doing normal 45′ degree cuts when this looks SOOO much better!
Wow, Awesome video. Love the detail in your videos. Thanks.
Why not start at the beginning for beginners? What angle did you cut?
Great Work, Thank You !!!
That’s a good tip Stan, I always tell the wife the same thing,
“always keep two hands on the tool”
Is this hard to do with a regular jig. I don’t have $3000 for a Festool. I usually use my table saw for my speed copes.
Its nice to see that Stan Lee has other hobbies other than comic books. I knew it was him because of the thousand pencils in his pouch.
So in order?…1. Make relief cuts 2. cut on a 45 degree angle with coping saw
