Thanks guys. First try at crown. I have a DeWalt compound miter saw and the crown is MDF. I ripped some 2x4's on an angle first and installed them around the intersection of the wall and ceiling to give me a good nailing surface wherever I might need it. Put the moulding upside down in the saw with one side on the base and one side on the backstop and cut away. Basically 2 cuts each, one to get it close, then mark with a pencil and another cut to get it exact. No caulk, but a bit of wood putty! Also used a Porter Cable air nailer.
