How To: Build a Coffered Ceiling

TMPK: Once Man Coffered Ceiling

[@KGTropicals]

It's tragic that this channel only has 16K subs, you should have WAY more than that! Well done!!

[@TMPK]

Holy moly I didn’t know I passed 16!! That’s crazy to me lol thanks for the kind words 😌

[@tsmith1729]

@@TMPK Couple Questions for you. When you are putting the 1x6 up against the ceiling, if the ceiling isn't true wont your coffered end up wavy ? Also if you aren't putting blocks onto your 8 x 16s how do you get your reveal to be the same all the way around. Thanks.

[@TMPK]

@@tsmith1729 yes, it can end up wavy. But this is new construction and it’s pretty flat up there. You can drop it down a half inch and level the whole thing if you want. You could block it, but after 15 + years, just eyeballing the reveal is good enough at 12 ft up in the air. I like to think I have laser eyes at this point 🤩

[@Robert8455]

Damn, looks super nice. You definitely have some great skills. I also enjoyed your edit. It's fun and not uptight or serious. I'd love to see the final look after it's painted and see if that bead board lines pop out. They are kinda lost in the grain without paint. I'm sure you could hawk those monster TMPK pencils in your future merch store (ha ha).

[@TMPK]

Robert DeMilo thanks man! haha I never thought about selling huge pencils! 🤑 lol

[@margaretd3710]

Great video! I'm a 71-year old grandma and a friend who's in her 40s is going to help me with all of my crown moulding and trim in my home. I've always wanted a coffered ceiling and the way you did it looks doable. So that's now on my To Do List as well! Thanks so much. -- Only thing I did so I could watch the video all the way through was to mute the music - and I'd turn it back on when I saw you were saying something. Ha.

[@TMPK]

Margaret D haha thanks! Yeah the music isn’t for everyone, but I have music editing background so a lot of my video edits are based around the audio. I’m not sure if I can do it another way lol good luck with your coffer!

[@toobad9946]

Margaret, I certainly appreciate your spirit and initiative but please consider renting portable scaffolding for your project. It's a lot harder (but not impossible) to fall off of scaffolding than a ladder. Also, the size of the molding configuration must be adjusted based upon ceiling height. If you only have 8' ceilings your moldings should be about 1/2 as big as he installed. Scale is important when selecting moldings. Good luck and be safe!

[@YESSLEEP42]

I really like these type of ceilings!! Great job!!

[@bryancorrea3347]

I'm loving the content man! I'm planning on tackling my first coffered ceiling. But I have a question, how do you determine the right depth or thickness. Is it according to ceiling height or is there a standard measurement to these coffered ceilings? Thanks

[@TMPK]

Thanks! There’s no right or wrong. If it’s 8 foot I’d do a flat coffered or 1x4 drop, with whatever width you want. 9ft 1x6 drop, 10 ft and up, 1x6 or 1x8 🤷‍♂️ just think about what the crown’s drop you choose also.

[@Neo.Picard]

Well done, I knew nothing about this procedure, and now I have a pretty good idea how to install one of these ceilings. Thanks!

Wow you make it look so easy 😂 I have a question, do you choose your crown depending on the depth of your coffered or the other way around? Thank you

[@TMPK]

Sorry, just noticed I never replied! Yeah, you should just choose a crown that is going to fit. I like the crown better in some of my other coffered videos where it’s much smaller than this one.

[@TMPK]

Jake D That’s probably true for a lot of people including myself. 1% chance. So that’s the highest complement I can get! Thanks bro! I always spend a lot of time choosing whatever copyright-free song I can find. I’m getting comments about how the music ruins it but every video I edit starts with the music. It’s the most important part to me

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

After watching you install your "ledger" board, I now see the genius of FINISH CARPENTRY TV hanging this board with toggle bolts. It makes it easier and you're able to fine tune position before driving in all the framing nails. I like your lighter weight framing though. FC TV's framing was too much 2x material IMO. Your framing makes wiring runs too.

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

If you are not using MDF FCTVs method is much better at stopping movement in the trim boards. I would never trust nails on anything that is attached to the ceiling. I've seen too many things fall from the nail getting pushed out as the building takes on humidity over the years to ever trust a nail to win vs gravity.

You, sir are a true inspiration. I watched this for the first time 2 or so yrs ago and that's when I decided I was going to try this. I don't know if you remember, but I had asked you about doing this on an 18-ft ceiling. I finally got around to doing it. It was tough and probably should've used scaffolding vs a huge ladder, but I used your process...made a couple small edits to our liking and did it all on my own! It looks fantastic!!

Hi Jared, great work, love your videos, easy to understand. One area that I grapple with is how many individual boxes to make on a ceiling. Your thoughts based on your experience would be very helpful. I have one room 203 inches by 160 inches. It is a 9 ft ceiling. I am thinking 20 equally sized coffered boxes. I also have another very long room 271.75 x 116.125. I am not sure if I should use the same math as the other room or do something different. Comments welcome on both rooms. Thank you.

[@TheWoodfordreserve]

Awesome editing, and great info! Just a tip, if you can drive it in the house (and the budget permits), an electric scissor lift would've made it easier than using a ladder AND safer too. Skyjack SJ16 is about 31" wide and gives 16 feet of lift, fits in most doorways, rent it for the day and charge the customer. I guess it might not be worth it for a one day job though.

[@TMPK]

Thanks! I’ve since invested in some 6 ft scaffolding with wheels. Definitely saves time and much safer
