Just watched a TOH video on doing the coping cut. That doesn't look THAT hard, and if you'll loan me your chop saw, that makes life a lot easier (and less expensive!). I'd love to have my own miter saw, but it's not on my immediate list-o'-things-to-buy.

Ooh, just found another possible issue. The ol' metal studs rear their ugly heads again.. I probably don't have wood to nail into everywhere (anywhere?) in the room. Augh.


You can glue (caulk or paneling adhesive) and nail a strip of 2X3, cut on the diagonal directly in the wall/ceiling corner. Let it dry, then nail your crown wherever you want anywhere along the length. Pre-caulk the edges and use a credit card to scrape the excess off after nailing the crown. You'll need two people for this to make it go quick enough to work with the caulk before it gets crusty.
