What happens here

The video begins by introducing two pieces of crown molding with different spring angles (38 degrees and 45 degrees). The presenter explains that the 'spring angle' is the angle at which the crown molding meets the wall when installed. This angle directly influences how far the crown molding extends from the wall into the room or down the wall from the ceiling.

Goal: Define and understand what a crown molding spring angle is and its visual impact.

This crown is 38° this crown is 45°. What does that actually mean? Let's get after it. This angle right here where the crown meets the wall is called the spring angle. A spring angle just determines how far out your crown molding is from the wall. Here's how you can measure spring angle. Get yourself a framing square. This is going to be your wall side and this is going to be your ceiling. Take a little sliver of crown molding and place it in your framing square as it would sit on the wall. Make sure that it touches your wall here
