He did it fast and easy....... ( but hey, it's Frank!! .......This is 
not a noun, it's a verb.)
The bent blade had to be a speed help (doesn't look like a narow kerf, 
low set blade either)
 but don't we all do the same thing with a regular blade by laying the 
frame over to it's side? Any narrow blade tracks to 90 degrees in a 
short space whether coping or turning or bandsaw blade for that matter.
 
 If you notice he doesn't go all the way to the bottom to start his 
sideways cut (it's backed up about 1/4" up) and he has to go back and 
clean up that corner where the blade turned. It looks like he's using a 
1/4" wide blade, coping saws are a lot narrower so presumably you can 
cut from less than 1/4" off the bottom of the primary cut with a 
narrower blade.

My favorite part was at the end where he flops the joint face down .... 
twice!!... and it doesn't open up a bit!!!!!
Go Frank!!
   yours, Scott
