What happens here

Begin by taking the trim piece, referred to as a "crown piece" in the video, and positioning it against the wall or ceiling where it will be installed. Ensure it is aligned as closely as possible to its final desired location. If necessary, use clamps to temporarily secure the piece, allowing for minor adjustments while holding it firmly in place for scribing.

Goal: Prepare the crown piece for marking its contour against an uneven surface.

Tools and materials

  • Clamps — Temporarily securing the trim piece in position for marking
