COFFERED CEILING - Part 3 - Boxes & Crown - My System

[@unclejim2048]

I don't recall ever watching anyone else on U-tube who's comments were more thorough.

[@CardinalVibes]

Amazing work. It blows my mind that you are always working alone, yet you never struggle with anything. Everything, in every video, just falls in to place. This is the definition of “trust the process”.

[@xavytex]

Always better to work alone. Yet lots of people like to work with one or two other guys. You have to pay those one or two other guys. And it takes some time and mental energy to manage those guys. Stay small, keep it all. There are a handfull guys I can work with where 1+1=3. Most of the time 1+1=0.5.

[@CardinalVibes]

@@xavytex So very true.

[@IceCat143]

He probably works better alone. That brain working like a machine, planning all the steps, executing in the right order, looks so effortless. This guy is relentlessly pursuing to be better. Priceless info gathered through the years. He shares it with us.

[@genemiller9612]

We have to come up with a system where we can add many thumbs up. Spencer is a master!

[@richthomas5013]

Well done young man. Well done. You are an outstanding example of a true journeyman craftsman. Thank you so very much for continuing to show countless people the thought process of what it takes to do quality work.

[@berky3862]

you look to be in perfect form right now, energetic and ready to show us how to do it. enthusiastic more than ever. Love it

[@joelw6215]

I want everyone to understand one thing. He is a master craftsman. It takes years of messing up and actually doing the jobs to get to his level. I have works years in the trade and he is good, his contractor is lucky to have him

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Thanks Joel. I remember the first time I did this style of coffered ceiling. LOL... It was not smooth, and there was a lot of sweat and struggle. LOL

[@TobyChin]

As always, simply amazing work. Well done. And your presentation of how to get there is clear and humble. Glad the trades have you and guys like you elevating the craft. 👏

[@owenmanuela6949]

Amazing workmanship Spencer

[@DeLaTradz]

Props man, your work is beautiful. Really appreciate you taking the time to film as you create. I know it slows you down a ton for camera setup and commentary. We appreciate the teaching and great examples. Keep up the good work!

[@JAT922]

You make it look so easy

[@farmcat3198]

Always glue your miters. Always! - Gary Katz

[@normgraham6658]

That stitching method might be the most awesome thing I've seen in a long time. I will absolutely be using that method from now on.

[@rtermini1]

As always, a great informative video. For the people who don't follow all the steps, I would have mentioned that you went around and nailed in the crown. You kind of left the impression that a presure fit was your last operation.

[@jgraeff1]

You have one of the best channels on carpentry! Learn so much from watching these videos, thank you!

[@OmarGarcia-bi7jq]

Great work Spencer and the 1/2 degree trick very smart 👍🏼

[@mikeinmaryland]

I haven’t read all the comments so I might be repeating someone else. When I do an inside measure, I measure to a ten. Meaning 10”, 20” 30”. Then I measure from the other side and add 10, 20 or 30… This 3 part series is pure genius!

[@112wade]

I’ve done as you have also with measuring inside corners. But, after seeing how Spencer tilted the tape I think I’ll try that.

[@mattmag3089]

Surprised he doesn't use his laser tape.

[@billmillar7234]

Good job.....I learned a lot.....and I've been doing this for 40+ years

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Thanks Bill. Its always a compliment when the veterans learn something.

[@CDIPERRI67]

Spencer you have Mastered this Finished Carpentry task - Really Impressed

[@michaeldehart648]

Yep. You are the man. It is clearly not your first rodeo; your craftsmanship is outstanding. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@mikemahase3656]

Very nicely done! Excellent explanation with great tips and tricks

[@zephyr1408]

Great video thank you for taking the time to make it & share it Spencer! I have been with you since the beginning ! Teaching video for pro’s from a Pro! I look at your work station you hv set up and most often follow it!! But? Always a but!! I am trimming out a 2nd floor to a huge custom home (about 5 Thou sq ft main and 1500 more for separate nanny quarters over a huge garage!) Anyway the stairs (someone else did ) R 32” wide and I can not get my saws up! So all my set up is down a flight & onto a wrap around Ranch porch !!! I tell everyone I am working out when they see me drenched in sweat? Sometimes you just can not get the right set up???? Thk u again buddy and just bought another Table Saw like the one you hv (DeWalt ). Man what a nice saw! Great job Spencer!

[@kevinlucas8437]

You really are a craftsman !!! You work smart and efficient !!!

[@rolandwallick844]

impressed with the accuracy on the crown boxes

[@stevengiles346]

Incredible! You make it look so easy.

[@ScottyLocklear]

Spencer man you rock 🎸. I really appreciate what you are doing with your channel, very informative and you explain things so simple to understand. And the quality of work you produce is phenomenal. Please keep it up

[@RodneyGarrett]

Great work learned a lot .

[@Electric-Bob]

Fantastic set of Video's.!

[@jgcrypto5485]

True master, not only great hands but able to teach it all as well. Love your work, thanks for sharing

[@gizmobently]

Great job Spence. You have a great system with first class joint fittings. Working alone makes you adapt quickly as the job does not get done unless you do it. And you did. As Nike says, “Just do it!” They must have been watching your videos.

[@berky3862]

Great work from great profesional. Keep up the good work and keep us posted :) love your videos!

[@joephillips6634]

It's exciting to watch a true craftsman. I rarely see high quality work done on youtube but you are an exception

[@dirkg7062]

Great job Spencer! You do great work. I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos.

[@Vchemsilabratvpravde]

THANK YOU!!! Watched all 3 parts and feeling ALMOST ready to tackle this project :))

[@clintprice2123]

A very well done tutorial Spencer! That tool sure paid for itself quickly as it’s so time efficient.

[@dandulik1673]

Appreciate that you are back, you are a true master of your craft sir.

[@mojobrown33]

Wow very impressive

[@lougjolaj7839]

One more amazing job from amazing carpenter 🙌💪👍

[@ottokriete1153]

I overcome the measuring problem you talk about by cutting a 10 inch block in order to mark 10 inches from one end. Then I measure to that mark from the other end to get a very accurate reading ( adding back my 10 inches to my measurement). This helps avoid the problems with trying to read a tape on an inside corner....

[@ronallen6578]

Who can argue with success. Works great. Very, very nice work.

[@ronallen6578]

Spencer, Ypu evidently have some scammers on your channel or at leadt contacting viewers like me. You may want to warn viewers not to tect the number unless it IS you. Thanks , Ron

[@notthatronjohnson1187]

Finding a finish carpenter like this is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Most want to get done, get paid, and be gone. Most do not take pride in their work as this young man doe's.

[@Estwing22]

Nice series coach. 👍

[@glennmikes1726]

This is similar to the method Gary Katz used years ago. I like this also!

[@chrisclapper9828]

Thanks for all the tips!!

[@kennethlemke9826]

Excellent work

[@hpw59]

Excellent tutorial

[@IceCat143]

Thanks for sharing amazing information gathered through the years. Priceless.

[@garykintzler4273]

Thank you again for teaching me more and giving us or knowledge.

[@dokmanian]

your painter most love working after you great work

[@BT-ih6kr]

that was just damn nice work. i really like that 1/2 or 1 degree offset for friction fit. that is an extremely good way of putting this all together and the ability to do it by yourself is a game changer. great job!

[@markkramer2908]

Great series Lewis. Thanks for showing your way to build and install them. Very fascinating.

[@pdcro1247]

Another exceptional video! Should be part of trade school curriculum

[@SublimeWanderers]

Litterally only commenting to feed the algorithm. You deserve the attention. Great job.

[@AnatikEbok]

Another amazing video. Love the way you explain and demonstrate your methods. You are a highly skilled carpenter my friend and such a pleasure to watch and listen to. I know I'm going to learn something amazing every time you release a video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir

[@InsiderCarpentry]

You are very welcome

[@mattsb5196]

Bravo once again.

[@geoffreyyoung5419]

Another Spencer Master Piece.Well done

[@wes1spence]

Putting in a large one soon.Your method is the trick. This job is going to have a solid beam around the perimeter. Like the style of yours better. I’m going to rip 3/8 0ff a 1x8 use it as a scribe around perimeter. I will use the 1x8 rip it for soffit. Hopefully I wont have to bring soffit to far away from wall to try and square up the room. I will use your beam method for the perimeter beams. Hoping for the best. Thanks for your insight !!!

[@lonhetrick]

It’s really inspiring to see the quality of your work and hear the detailed explanations. I’m curious how you would adjust the method if the client wanted a simpler look without crown.

[@mattmason7554]

Speechless 😶

[@jamiewood70]

Love your videos Spencer! Very easy to understand and you do quality work.

[@flammarama]

One talented craftsman.

[@gyulabujtor7378]

Very nice, precise job. You do everything alone!

[@woodturnermark8529]

Great job Spencer, thanks for sharing your tips.

[@pajomaximus]

Great video buddy. Talented man for sure. When you were measuring the crown and tilting the tape....what I usually do is measure out 100mm / 4inches. Mark that spot. Then measure back to that point and add the 100mm. Give you a very accurate measurement.

[@pauljenkinson8798]

The tip to add "draft" to the mitred box is a clever one. But I usually add draft after making up the box, power planning a slight taper on the back of the length of the board. Adding that extra 1/2 degree of vertical angle sure looks like a time saver. I wish I thought of it even though it only takes five minute with the plan. I never really trusted using my tape for dead on inside measurements so if I can I like to use my folding box rule with a sliding brass extension. I make a 10" offset mark starting from the left corner to the right and measure from the right corner to that mark. I just add ten to that right to left measuremeant and there is absolutely no guest work. The benefit of the box rule is that it doesn't sag, although the draw back is they are a little more clumsy to use when new the hinges between the sections are stiff or the measurement you have to make are more than 6 feet. But there are many techniques to extent their useful range. That said they have so many other time saving, highly accurate and cleaver uses, when I'm trimming out I always have one in my apron along with my 16' tape. I think that those carpenter who insist on using glue for every trim joint for fear of it opening up are the belt and suspender types. But I agree with you in this case. With a staple every 3/4" apart,, and a tight fit inside the box, where can the joint open? The added fact that it's paint grade and most likely will be caulked is more then sufficient. Your method appears to have the added bonus that it adapts to a room that is seriously out of square. Which makes it a good one for those less experience carpenters looking for a consistent system to tackle these jobs. Thanks for sharing!

[@nicktognella3085]

Great work!

[@e4syw0rkinc]

Genius man, you should come to massachusetts to teach me some skills haha glad of you

[@jasonargentieri8954]

Nice tip with the 1 degree angle.

absolutely amazing work thank you for sharing this valuable tips

[@JonathanExcels]

Thanks for the tape measure tip.

[@davecurda2350]

Outstanding job

[@scottwilson4347]

Maybe you could mark your premade boxes for the bottom of crown & take measurements at your assembly table instead of in the air for your crown..just gotta make accurate measurements but if the boxes fit you know your crown will fit..man I love this channel..Spenser, who taught you your skills? I’ve been doing interior trim for over 20 yrs & learned from alot of people & still learning ..alot from you but who taught you?jw

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The internet. Believe it or not I never worked under a finish carpenter.

[@scottwilson4347]

Wow simply amazing..but the internet has so much knowledge..that’s why I love you sharing yours..makes me want to start recording my tips & tricks on jobs..you’ve done your research online for sure..thank you sir
