Carpenters Install Coffered Ceiling

[@sphlouge]

I was a trim carpenter for over 50 years working on multi million dollar houses. Many had coffered ceilings , many 20 feet in the air. It’s hard work . Sometimes I’d go home feeling like my shoulders and neck was beaten with a hammer. . Unless you have never done this you have no idea how hard it is to do this and make it come out looking perfect. Especially if it’s multi layer crowns. Great job guys !

[@marcoss6653]

Shoutout to John, always seems to be on point and very fluent with your videos. Y’all make a solid two man team🙌🏻

[@konradderheim9442]

[@rjperkins365]

I was getting worried. Between the cut hub and a deadman he used in the past couple. Hope he doesn't find a really good tripod.

I do exactly the type of work you do in Northern New Jersey, but our techniques are very similar , I actually use the Bosch Blaze laser measure, love it , but any distance over 12', I subtract an 1/8" on the cuts, it always works out.

check out amazon. There is a 4D laser for $129. works pretty good and way cheaper than the depot brands. Good to keep as an extra if you already spent $3-400 on the Bosch.

I've built many coffered ceilings and have never used framing lumber but I can see why you use it and that it's a good idea that saves time as well. Nice electrical box design!

[@user990077]

Nice work. I really liked that little right angle DeWalt gizmo you used to run some screws in.

[@dongibson189]

So glad that others do it the same way I do. I prefer using 3/4” plywood instead of 2x as it’s more stable and you don’t have to worry of the material sits there with the chance of warping. Even a crown in the 2x can bug me. I use some PL Premium subfloor adhesive on the intermediate pieces where your not hitting joists. Even a screw driven lightly into the drywall will snug it up until adhesive sets. But very nice man! I’ve been doing carpentry for over 40 years and I am always taking in tips from others.

[@TheDannytre]

I had the same issue on my first one in regards to ceiling fan so I made a box out matching the coffered ceiling itself. I've done several since, nice job. The toughest one I ever did was a radius coffered ceiling. I laminated luann for radius.

[@robertlaird6746]

I've done three radius coffered ceilings. One oval as the center point, one with a circle center point and one that had a lot of radius aspects to it. That one was a 40x80 ceiling. They are difficult to do without a shop to pre make all your parts. I did everything on the job site. Those were some very long days.

[@jasonsmith5077]

I was a custom cabinet builder in Tennessee and had a job in Florida that required this detail. I cam up with a way to pre build squares with all the crown molding already attached,so all we had to do was bolt each box to the concrete ceiling and attach a 1x6 to form our bottom of the beams. Had this all planned out and sized to fit in the elevator. When we arrived the designer showed up and decided he wanted to run the beams at an angle to to the straight wall. It required an extra trip down and a week stay to finish up all the extra cutting to fill the triangles the designer created on a whim.

Think about it...you're doing duct-work, electrical work, carpentry and painting: you should get a General Contractor's License. I know you believe in "Keep it small and keep it all" but a little bit larger would be kinda fun and bring in easy money. That Light-box you installed might be rated for 150 pounds but that's only if connected to framing members in the ceiling: the way you installed it the weight will hang on the 4 screws that attach the 2 blocks that you hung the box on...I'd probably use a couple Teko Klips on each side of the blocks to make sure it's safe. One thing that amazes me is how simple you make all these jobs look.

I once did one of these for some customers, who picked the material. They waited until we were 100% to decide they wanted the beams smaller. We ripped them all out, re-did the whole thing. They waited until we were 100% again to tell us they wanted them smaller still. We ripped them out, re-did them a third time. They were happy. I went back to college and never picked up a hammer again, true story.

@@Jorash_Barison i haven't been following very long and was very surprised he was doing electrical, HVAC and drywall shows if you have a specialty stick to it. If that fixture weights what he said there will be a call back

[@Jorash_Barison]

@@Mark_MOORE_VFL Yes, stick to your specialties if you have them. I will add that using 2x material for non structural stuff is just expensive space filler. The 2x don't stick to the ceiling any better than a 1x will. And the 1x materials can support the lightweight non-structural decorative work just fine. Lighter and easier to use as well.

Wouldn't it have been better to put pocket holes on the full length support boards and drive into these intermediate pieces?
