Finished my first custom bookshelf last weekend, took me a year to get it right

I started this project back in January after my wife asked for a built-in for our living room. I kept messing up the miter joints on the crown molding until I finally watched a video that showed me how to use a coping saw instead. After three tries getting the angles right, I got it installed last Saturday and it actually sits flush against the wall. Has anyone else struggled with getting crown molding to meet perfectly in the corners?

Wait, a YEAR?! That's some serious patience, lol.

A whole year? No way. That's insane.
