Working on some faux wood beams. These are made out of foam.

I visited my 91 year old mom on Saturday. I showed her one of your videos and she kept saying "let's watch another one."

[@jfkcamp1]

Awesome, its great to find things that they enjoy !

[@randycarreiro8363]

my moms 85 and likes him too

[@NUCCIMC]

Great job guys! I'm putting one up on a cathedral ceiling tomorrow!

[@SteveBoyer10]

I hope she's doing well.

[@CraigForest]

your camera angles, music and editing are really getting professional! Thank you for what you do!

[@05980420]

I watched the video when you went to the high school to talk to the carpentry students and I just want to tell you thanks for doing that, sharing your story how you have been growing in your business is amazing and inspirational; for everybody specially for the teenagers who don't know what to do for living yet Thank you, GOD bless you

[@Ibiron]

Appreciate your honesty, my motto is "Nothing is easy"... I liked that you made a mistake and figured it out while making the video, didn't edit it. Stuff happens, deal with it. Good job.

[@markellison24]

Damn dude that drone shot. Getting fancy! Well done.

[@clo289]

Watching this in 2020. Slowly but surely working through your videos. Love them!

[@rickfoster7712]

Thanks for showing that projects don't always go as planned, even for professionals, and how to recover. Really enjoy the videos you make and am learning a lot that helps in my DYI projects around the house. Thanks!

[@karadunham6833]

Found your channel today and am now addicted. Great work! Very interesting!

[@deanlewis1650]

That happened to me too. I must have watched half a night one time 😂

[@jeffsnouffer7336]

You & your coworker are the Man. You always do great job & have been a great inspiration to me

[@bencavanagh5425]

Wished my work day was as relaxing as yours! Soooo laid back dude".............

[@danielevans922]

I love the Japanese hand saw. Your video is top notch. Appreciate your insight.

[@ryanodonnell1892]

Great video. All the videos are awesome, but this is a neat idea to add a different dynamic to the dinning room. I really enjoy the quality and knowledge shared on this channel. Thanks.

[@michaelplays2449]

Your doing a great job Richard, thanks for sharing your skill set with us brilliant video as usual 👍

[@tomjeffries58]

I used to make and install 'distressed' faux wood beams in the 70's. I'd make the beams and beat the heck out of them and used hammers and a router and chains to 'distress' the beam. People loved them back then- always stained in dark walnut. Edit: I'd make them out of 1by attach the 3 pieces with glue and nails on the flat. All the banging, scraping and beating would hide the seam. I'd pull out the partially sunk nails when dry and beat, rout and scrape and stain. I got great laughs watching you try to get that first beam up. It brought back old memories.

[@warrenfipp1856]

great job! If you ever do a vaulted ceiling crown moulding job, please shoot it for us. Keep 'em coming, we learn from each one. Thanks

[@Ibiron]

Appreciate your honesty... Been a carpenter a long time, nothing is easy..

[@Johnnyrad1683]

Totally good stuff, I really enjoy the Vida. We call those kind of days, first day jitters, new job, new materials, tomorrow you will do great cause you touched it and worked out the issues. Looks great.

[@waiakalulu3501]

Cool stuff. Thanks for dropping scholarship on us and showing the pride of workmanship.

[@dennisfoster1680]

Thanks for the educational and informative videos. Your professionalism shows. A whole lot of contractors I've been around couldn't film the process / jobs because they would show how poor the craftsmanship is and how messy the job sites are. Always enjoy your videos.

[@tskipwadoo3447]

Always learn something every time I watch your videos.

[@biscy92]

I really enjoyed this video. I was asked to put up some wood beams in a friends house and I mentioned Faux wood beams. I have never installed them before so this video was very informative. Thank You. Really enjoy your videos.

[@robwaz1547]

Thanks work as usual I like all the explanations when you watch that KZbin all you see is people doing nobody explains what’s going on I like the explanations it helps all DYI’S. I like to see more Coffered ceiling work and it’s Intercal detailing

[@likearockcm]

I definitely enjoy these types of video.👍 Nice use for the Japanese sawL . 👢

[@LimitlessWilderness]

Instead of using those drywall anchors, go in the attic and add blocking. You can get a lot more solid looking beams this way

[@northerntierbuilders]

Thanks for the video. All the little tips and tricks are great!

[@decosse01]

Love your videos - I have learned a lot from them! One suggestion about the problem fitting the initial long beam with the window crown interference - I believe if you had raised the faux beam up to the ceiling just beyond the crown and then it brought it back over it would have worked - but know you didn't have much clearance with exact measurement so this may have involved slight dragging across the walls to bring it back into position. But you got it worked out anyway!

[@willyamparo603]

Very nice Richard we support you I have work in 24 others kind of work I like this one I want to learn it ,that is why I wash you beside you are very funny. Thank you

[@jimwilliams8229]

On your first beam take your small sample. trace and cut through the Sheetrock with a razor knife. Then remove as much as yo need to get the beam in place. Do this on both ends for a really authentic look. Keep up the good work.

[@ReztoTex]

Good work...I appreciate the different types of job videos. Someone else mentioned that it would be nice to see how you lay a job out...good thought. Pray your family is well.

[@timfalardeau9753]

That montage of you guys fighting the beam is a microcosm of our trades...

[@joebrown1382]

Wow that drone editing is going the extra mile, no pun intended. I did a coffered ceiling in a house I owned with 4 ft squares but mine were not styrofoam, all pine. These foam beams look great.

[@diarmuidkelly9079]

Installed a few beams when I spent time in canada, the pocks are handy to prop the beams up into position while you screw/pin them and also you can get a look at it from ground level before fixing them.

[@arrosconpollo1]

This was a great video! I want to change my 1970s wood paneling to drywall and have to remove and reinstall or replace wood beams. Thank you!

[@Cristo_Mario]

great vid as always. it seems the only non faux item in this house is the timber you've mounted. LOL.

[@rjtumble]

I LOL'd when you spun the beam around "maybe it's shorter this way" I know that's not what you were doing, but that's what it looked like and it was pretty funny.

[@reegsgeer]

Professional Carpenter with a professional camera man👍👍

[@goatsears]

I like the style of this video, the content was interesting and although 19 minutes long the time did not drag. the drone footage was cool and even the trip to home Depot was interesting, keep up the good work !

[@ChrisD-kl3ty]

Enjoying your vids. You should consider adding the dewalt belt clips to your drill, impact, multitool ect. It makes climbing a ladder with materials and tools a lot easier.

[@rudyramirez6867]

Your videos are very good and informative I like it keep it up. 🖒

[@brendan19841111]

Could have slid the beam up evenly on either side of the window past the crown and then slid it over to the 2x6. That's what this keyboard carpenter has to say about that. Nice work, love the videos.

[@TheTennisMachine]

Thanks for the great tips. I plan on installing beams in my home as well.

[@antoniodalombajr9169]

Your boy is good with the camera he got a good job..his resume will look good too

[@garittlajoie8841]

i somehow always end up watching your vids while working on estimates... kinda my routine

[@rhinomite5203]

coincidence???? Same here, measure a roof, come back to the office and watch this crazy guy

[@how2q]

Great video...you guys are actually human and make mistakes! First attempt looks totally like something I would have done and been cursing about it the rest of the day. Thank you for the great videos and proving even pro"s make mistakes. Will be doing foam beams in our renovation so this one and your next helps!

[@patrickcowan8701]

DeWalt makes a great little collapsible stand for that saw, cheap to,hated working on the ground.

[@forrest1979g]

I been delivering trim to one house for two years now. It's looking crazy good.

[@robnewell6727]

Great video-very informative. Keep up the good work!

[@neptune4167]

I wish a trim carpenter in my state did videos like you so I could see their work and work ethic prior to hiring them. I would hire you on the spot. We desperately need crown and wainscotting in a bunch of rooms of our house.

[@inspire734]

I am going to try to make ceiling beams out of floating vinyl flooring tiles. Probably May of next year. I work on my place twice to save the funds out of pocket. I have to load up what I have video taped of the place first. Thanks for the tip on the structure board to hold it all together. I was going to put wooden pieces inside to put the tiles onto. It would make it more light weight. The whole thing would be about $500. to do a 26' by 22'. Strip down the center of the room and 5 coming out from the center in the living room and 5 in the kitchen. I put 24" in between each one. The good thing about my place is the upstairs over the kitchen and living room was an attic. Now it is two bedrooms. The ceiling is 6', so you have a good close platform to work on. Once I have the lighting, beams and fans up, I will remove the floor. I will have 14' ceiling on that side of the house afterwards. It is my childhood home I am flipping. When I get the videos up I will post the link, so you and your viewers can follow me. I am new at all of this. Only art and crafting I have experience in and can reproduce most things in wood or ceramic form. I plan on making my own terricotta roofing tiles later. Your videos are most educating for me starting out. I will mention the people who's videos I learn from as well so you can get more viewers on your channel that way.

[@Happy_Gilmour_84]

Everything looks so easy and simple when you do it, I always end up with problems or its not quite as nice as I'd like

[@freebornjohn2687]

You can cut out the inside of an oak beam and cover softwood beam with it. I've done a couple and they look great.

[@waynemiller6070]

Thanks for showing the work around for the challenge at 10:15. The pattern stayed the same but the direction you ran the boards changed. Therefore you could use the same holes but wouldn't need to as the existing holes could/would be covered by the shorter runs. Also at 12:30 there is some interesting crown behind you that I would like to seeing how it's cut and installed. Could you link me to a video showing that if you know of one please? Richard, I am not only impressed with the quality of your videos and teaching but also in the amount of content you provide. Really appreciate you guys. And it looks like the more videos you do the straighter your teeth are getting. :)

[@robertmagnusson5094]

Enjoy the jobsite videos. Keep it going.

[@espnmk]

thanks for the tips it's going to loook good, camera shoot looks great

[@prestonthomas9406]

I’d have really liked to see the curved beam install. Nice job though.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

Funny you doing this project I just finished doing a 33' long ceiling beam for a customer, but with finish grade plywood stained and cleared, place metal brackets where the seams were to make it look like it was structural, came out great.

[@johnhutchinson3493]

I have done faux beams many times and you can use a nail gun to fasten beams to the 1 x cleat. the beams are light enough and wont fall. that way you don't have a big hole from the screw head. love watching your vids

[@64maxpower]

[@billzima7068]

Some glue and trim nails and they ain't going anywhere

[@DavidGrassSr]

You sure made my knees hurt with all that sawing on the ground, up and down. Put that sucker on your tail gate are make some horses.Put that wood on the cement and use those horses.. It reminds me of a Plumber always on there knees.. Loved the receiver to haul the lumber, and a nice over head shot.. See Ya. AF&AM

[@donsuccone]

Great stuff once again! Get some ear protection though for when your using your saws or you'll end up with tinnitus!

[@jimwatkins4968]

Love the side stuff plus a cool idea for a room in my home

[@Fishman1]

Great video, very informative

[@biggig06]

[@ntwadumela374]

Gonna look damn good when it's done

[@scottjohnson3226]

Great work! I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing!

[@VideoServicesLI]

Couldn't help but notice the headpieces over the windows. They are gorgeous. Maybe you could do a video on how you put those together? I hate trying to cut those small mitered pieces with a 10" saw.

Hey, Love work you, can you tell us a little more about the cost of and were to get the faux wood beams. Thanks

[@johnbeckler428]

Just did one of these on a new build. Was a fun project but challenging. The beam ran through about 6 different ceiling sections between different dormer angles.

[@Handyguy223]

Hey Richard, just a friendly suggestion to make life a little easier. I dont know if you have one but a featherboard for your dewalt table saw is a wonder for keeping rip cuts super flush. I have one for my dewalt table saw and I love it, plus it eliminates having to put my fingers so close to the blade all the time. Keep up the good work! 👌

[@travisfarner2339]

Hey, I'm a fan of your channel. I like what you are doing. If you ever get the chance to make a video on a faux truss installation, that would be awesome.

[@DrewDubious]

I watched your "Don't buy materials from lowes or home depot" video. lol

[@DrewDubious]

also, using drywall hangers to mount these? yikes...

[@jean-pierrevallieres1569]

Nice professional video! May I suggest video idea ? How to prepare a job site for painting with your new paint gun. How to clean the paint gun after. Thanks for your video!,

[@turboflush]

On the ends of the faux beams against the wall.. measure tight but bevel the ends into their selves. The foam being soft will crush as it needs more room.

[@shivettsj]

You the man, keep belting them out.

[@VanisleNSX]

I liked the drone footage on the way to the job site. I hope you get a chance to show the arched beams either during install or afterwards.

[@zenon72]

Dude the editing and production is pretty good. I liked the music when the truck was driving. Question how did you get those 2 shot of the truck from so far away. Drone or bridge or....

[@jasonrreilly]

You might need to look into building one or two of those Paulk workbenches I’ve seen here on KZbin. Seems that would help your workflow and give you some adequate workspace up off the ground. I think he is a finish carpenter also from what I understand. Search Ron Paulk good guy lots of good ideas too.

Amazing work. Thanks for all ur vids.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

I looked into those faux beams before I started my project and those foam ones aint cheap at all, had to go with 3/4" plywood

[@stich1960]

With the plywood I get around here I'd be concerned about being able to keep a crisp Edge of a 45 on my plywood I would almost have to buy cabinet grade before I think the edge would stay halfway decent, did that work out for you? I just did a project with supposed BC plywood and have so many splinters in my hands it's not even funny and I'm glad that these were utility cabinets because quite a few of the edges have splintered off and that's just a straight 90 degree cut.

I made myself those beams using 1X6 strapping lumber. I stained them and they look amazing. Very real and cheap. I wish I can attach a picture of it, but I don't see an option to attach a picture here.

[@mule666]

Such a relaxed guy,

[@ceeceety2320]

you and john do great work. good vid

[@dennistyner9922]

Just a little tip to speed up things. Those toggle bolts require redrilling and are difficult to work with. Home Depot has a product called EZ Anchor Twist-N-Lock 75 lb. Medium Duty Drywall Anchors. Hold your board up, drill hole, take down, drill anchor in, replace board, install screw. It’s so quick and easy less bit changing and they are 75lb capacity more than enough for most jobs. Check them out

[@LoLo-yp1yo]

Great videos great info keep it up and thank you

[@thiagomoraes2233]

Honestly never seen it done this way! I’m 21 years old been a finish carpenter for 2 years! What I would’ve done is find the strapping and the joices with a nail set and screw your cleat with 3 1/2 inch screws! I know it’s foam but you don’t want tht dry wall to sag man

[@rneustel388]

I really enjoyed watching this video-it’s great when a problem works itself out without someone getting hurt or costing someone a bunch of money! Do you encounter window trim like that very often?
