DIY FAUX BEAM | Under $75

[@stacyk7876]

Wow! Y’all did an amazing job! This looks awesome! My husband and I are old enough to be your parents and “We” usually try to teach our children how to do things like this. It’s refreshing to learn things from a younger generation. Both of you do an amazing job at redoing things! TFS!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Absolutely beautiful. I'm definitely going to be doing this in the near future. Thank you Ashley and Thomas. HGTV should give y'all a show. I would definitely watch it.

[@ashleyhuze]

Aww thank you!!❤️🥰 You are so sweet!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@ashleyhuze you're welcome. Aww thank you. I am till you mess with my hubby and family.

Wow just amazing your hubby is so talented!!!! Looks very nice

[@ashleyhuze]

He sure is!!😍🙌🏻

[@annette224m]

The distressing done to the beam , is spot on. It looks fantastic👍👍 Look forward to the next video. TFS 😊

[@kdugg]

Not saying they didn’t do good but I wouldn’t say it’s distressed. That’s very minimal distressing. I make and sell fireplace mantles for side money. Can make new boards look like they came out of a 200 year old barn easily.

[@ashleychamp1544]

Those beams look so good! I love a rustic look! Good job y'all 👏💪👏

[@kristophercantu9935]

Been wanting to do this for years, along with vaulted ceiling. It looks fantastic, absolutely stunning. Great job guys, thank for sharing DIY video. Of course I'll hire someone, my ceilings are way too high and I'll need scaffolding. 👍

[@susan4657]

This was exactly what I was looking for help with. Our beams are stained an ugly reddish color with decades of paint smudges. I wasn't sure how to fix them. Wrapping is the answer. Great video!

[@traci123171]

Where did you find such a handy husband! You're creativity is beyond measure ... love it

[@MsJax1967]

And he's not too hard on the eyes. Lucky lady!

[@SABERTOOTHBEAVER]

I guess all went well with the person that reported y’all? Glad to see everything is back and y’all for a video out! We missed you guys!

[@genesis7594]

Yeah I’ve been waiting for your videos I was wondering what happened to them

[@tinaanderson5298]

Beautiful work, guys! :)

[@carolewhite4659]

Looks nice n rustic!!

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Great job folks ... the biggest issue I find with this ( as I plan to wrap a steel I Beam in my dowstairs living area ) is the obvious joins in the wrap where the different directions of the timber grain can visually expose or give the game away that it's a wrap and not a solid item. I will be doing my best to search for solutions to that - the best bet is to have the side or vertical slabs COVER the bottom cap and to have the bottom CAP sit inside the two vertical slabs. This way when you LOOK at the beam you do not SEE or notice the join so readily. That's going to be my plan at any rate ... I really hate seeing joins.

[@jayp7043]

Your approach is better but even better yet is just mitre cut the 3 boards. Butt joints are easily spotted. One glance and it's obviously not a solid timber. Miter cuts are far less noticeable. Good video though for those who don't have the tools to do it with mitres...

[@cha-ka8671]

Next time, cut the edges in 45 degree angles to get rid of that seam. Then round the edges. Also, my preference is hand sewn look. It takes using a hatchet, chain saw, and a fire torch.

[@fernandaorenga1450]

I love your videos. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@sagesse9551]

Looks amazing!!!

[@Aisucks]

Dang look at those guns😲😥!!!!I ain't mad at ya girl!tfs

[@southern842]

What what wood filler did you use? I can't ever get filler to stain.

[@KimoCraft]

what a great idea, can't wait for the next parts! Thanks for the inspo ♥

[@Vicapr]

@hgtv they need a show.

[@familyrenov8]

Great idea!

[@lexijones8414]

Looks great. What if you have to get into the plumbing

[@ShellieSager]

Looks great!!!!

[@julianna9940]

Amazing

[@house9850]

you can beat it with a metal chain to make a couple random marks, for realism. Also before power tools they had saw marks from the mill and used something called a "draw shave"

[@kimmulholland5100]

What type of wood filler did you use over the nails? Looks absolutely fantastic!

[@LadyLuvGemStones]

💖💖💖💖💖 Very Clever & Beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻

[@steverodgers9206]

That vertical piece of wood on the inside face how wide of a board is that? Looks like a 1x 12? Maybe more. Did you get that from the lumber yard? If not how’d you make it?

[@chrissybetlem9872]

Can you please please tell me the color green paint used!!! It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[@ashleyhuze]

Chrissy Betlem Thank you!! It’s vintage vogue 462 by Benjamin Moore!!❤️

[@chrissybetlem9872]

Hangin With The Hughes well it’s just stunning!!! And the hubs is fun to look at while working.......great biceps 😉

[@c0pyimitati0n]

If he would have mitered the corners of the side post you wouldn't have those seams, but I personally don't mind them. I think he did a killer job.

[@sean4060]

Can this be done on a 20 foot vertical beam?

[@juann3295]

What is securing the bean in place ? Besides the teo side beams that run on the sides floor to ceiling? I have a vaulted ceiling project but not sure how to secure the beams directly on the ceiling as I will not have side beams.

[@Thomashuzemma]

I would secure a 2x4 to the trusses in the ceiling and then secure the faux beam to the 2x4 with brad nails. You can fill the holes with wood filler. Hit me up on Instagram I’d love to see the project finished

[@juann3295]

@@Thomashuzemma thanks so much!

[@mynewmedia]

@@Thomashuzemma I also have a vaulted ceilings and would like to do the same thing. Do I secure the 2x4, horizontally over the “V” pitch in the vaulted ceilings, and then create a faux beam that is 4-inches wide ( at opening) then secure the faux beam by nailing into the sides of the beam near the ceiling, into the 2x4?

[@sodedit]

Was there any reason you chose to glue the three boards flat against one another vs ripping 45% angles at the ends? I'm debating the two methods since I have my table saw out...

[@orangeandolivedesigns]

Looks amazing! Great job!

[@shemeon]

What kind of wood is this? If you said it in the video I must have missed it. Thank you!

[@ashleyhuze]

Thank you for reminding me- I forgot to include that in the description! It’s common board!!

[@libertyandjustus8258]

Looks like pine :)

[@Tweedilydum93]

But how did you install it??

[@Donna-vh5ym]

I know this is 3 years old, but O can't find Part 2 and 3.

[@shanemoncy472]

If you have more time than money then this is good.

[@horrisajones8933]

Looks like!

[@sosimplejen]

I love it! It totally brings character into the room. How tall is your ceiling? I would like to do this in our living room but I'm nervous our ceiling is too short.

[@ashleyhuze]

Oh gosh, our basement ceiling is pretty short!😬 my brother who’s 6’4 has to duck under this beam haha! We have beams upstairs too but our ceilings are taller up there!

[@anitawells3705]

Awsome

[@Momsterluv4Ever]

I think maybe the corners would look more like a beam if they were mitered. Otherwise, nice job.

[@paulr2372]

If you would have done a 45 deg angle on the edges you wouldn’t see the butt joint and it will look like a real beam.

[@23srod]

Comment I came to look for.

[@liamdanaher2054]

My brother loves Muay Thai.

[@suhamunssor4447]

ما شاء الله

[@al8685]

If you mitered the joints it would have looked like a solid block of wood. Looks good though.

[@Thomashuzemma]

I’ve actually built a few like that and with the beam being 14’ long it’s close to impossible to find a straight enough piece of wood to hold 45 degree cut without it starting to separate.

You should make a video about ur pregnancy

Is he available for hire? lol

Beautiful but to bad about that extr peice of wood
