How to Install Tongue and Groove Ceiling Boards - WindsorONE

[@ctaylor114]

Man the video editing and quality has mad major improvements over the years. It’s like watching a major production type of show. Keep up the awesome work guys.

[@MrRustyjackson]

I agree! Excellent quality production and it seems like Richard is more direct and to the point. Love it!

[@ishtlutz1261]

@@devonwainstein9188 You’re right, Lame. My favorite kind of work to see is the kind done from a really crappy camera angle; preferably with a crappy camera (the crappier the better). If it’s crappy that’s how I know I’m witnessing real work being done… even though I can’t really make out what work is being done because of the crappy footage… or if any work is being done at all for that matter. But I don’t care cuz that’s stuffs LAME

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Watching you route out those recesses light openings makes me glad to be an electrician. All that sawdust no thanks. Nice work Richard.

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Your abilities and attention to detail make you one of the best builders I've ever seen. Paying attention to nail gauge, exterior vs interior nails, priming end cuts, on and on, anyone using your talents is going to have the best finished products in the business! You're inspirational, thank you for showing the world how to do it correctly!

[@Coastal_vibes]

IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR YEARS. IVE STARED MY OWN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THIS LAST YEAR AND CAN DEFFINITLY SAY THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE MY GO TO WHILE ON SITE AND HAVE QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. MUCH LOVE FROM SC

[@scottwhitinger3278]

I am a do it yourself and wanted to say i have learned so much from your videos and my skills have improved so much because of them. Thank you and keep them coming.

[@lesbischoff8976]

That intro made me feel like I was about to watch This Old House! Awesome job Richard.

[@davidgagnon2849]

I think you meant that as a compliment.

[@mikewisdom5664]

Man u are no joke. True professional of your craft.

[@devastatn]

I'm never disappointed with you guys. Such craftsmanship and professionalism. It's a treat to see people who care about what they do. Congrats on the new house also. Y'all have a good weekend. 👍💯

[@JD_Customs]

Hahahha!! Just finished the first part of this video from a few days ago and then this pops up, score !! 😂😂😂 binge watch!

[@spd711]

You are 100% correct on Windsor One products. They are the best I’ve ever worked with.

[@kwaskeconstruction3382]

Regarding router bits, there are pattern bits that have both upcut and downcut spiral bits. They leave no frayed edges what so ever. We also have gotten used to down cut spiral bits, for a clean edge for drilling thru

[@iansalmond726]

Its called a compression bit.

[@jaredwaters4633]

I’ve been using the cordless Dewalt trim router with a 1/4 down spiral top bearing bit and it works like a dream

[@MakeitHappen1]

Do you use that bit to trim to the outside of the box? When he used the flush trim bit, that trims flush to the inside of the box but many boxes need to be flush with the finished ceiling so trimming to the inside of the box doesn’t work. I guess the spiral bit would be the solution (?)

[@adqak503]

Hello from Anchorage Alaska. Your videos are relevant and spot on. Great tips and tricks.

[@michaelmancini5773]

I respect the fact that your willing to drag a hose around the scaffold to achieve the proper fastening technique good for you brother

[@joebrown1382]

I've never seen you do anything other than professionally done. Looks great. I have 5 Dewalt routers for different jobs, great tools. 3 horse in my router table.

[@oldskoolwayy]

The new visual are crazy..love it...looks like an HGTV show

[@rogerjrusa]

Good job, dude. I’m going to throw my mom’s new ceiling up based on your lesson here. For that I’m thankful!

[@gpintoon]

Whoa !!! Stepping up n the quality of videos!! I'm so glad you landed well with a place to live..karma is your side for such a wonderful family..

[@justinkemmerer1346]

Loved this video Richard! The cinematography is constantly improving and the voiceover was a really nice addition. Although the face to face explanations are always enjoyable, it’s nice to clearly watch your workflow while you’re explaining your methods and thought processes. Keep up the good work!!!

[@CowboyTroysatx]

I absolutely agree!!💯

[@zachmcdonald4439]

Flush trim bit is a freakin awesome idea. Those boards definitely get the ol whistle of approval.

[@CajunGreenMan]

VERY impressive video! I have seen more than my fair share of how-to videos, and you pack an amazing amount of detail into yours, very direct, concise, and to the point. Most would have made a video like this take twice as long. VERY high quality carpentry work to boot. Keep up the great work!

[@jbratt]

That production has really gotten high quality 👍.

[@daryldavirro4237]

Glad to have you back.

[@Bigelite094]

You're highly efficient. No wasted motion.

[@ededdie9547]

Your filming and editing is excellent - thanks for the videos!

[@scorpion10r41]

Always waiting for your videos I pay attention to every thing you say. I learn alot from you. You are my teacher.

[@michaelgrzywa]

Awesome job. Really impressed with the instructions as you build. Watched several of your videos and all of them are first class.

[@batbawls]

That is some fine house! I bet working with high quality products makes the job a lot more enjoyable.

[@dwarden3]

I use the router on all cut outs needed. Just clean up corners with a small hand saw. So much easier and faster than measuring all those little cuts. Just pay attention to where your nails are!

[@kennyshepherd8311]

Thanks Richard for the info, kudos to the filming!

[@dustyandsneezing]

Nice music for the intro, you have good taste in music and Carpentry!

[@denaliDMB]

Your videos are awesome keep them coming. You’ve sold me on WindsorOne. I’m down in south Florida and was able to order some WindsorOne header cap. I’m impressed with them and if I could I would buy all my wood from them but unfortunately my order took 3 weeks.

[@typeonegsr]

You could have your own show on hgtv lol. Amazing level of skill, thank you for your videos. Love the diamond back rig.

[@caleblewis3881]

if I don't have a mallet, sometimes I use a drop piece of that material as a block to smack the pieces into place, but you have to mock it up to the groove so the piece you're installing doesn't get damaged

[@joshua47085]

I liked this video before I even watched it. That’s how good this man is.

[@Rizzo2185]

The materials shortage is really killing us in the NW too man. Your work looks amazing as always. The customers are lucky to have you guys!

[@doug.ritson]

Painter in Sarasota, FL - no good exterior primer (MicroTite) for 8 months, and exterior premium paint (SW Emerald Rain Refresh) is as rare as hens teeth right now.

[@trevorm7013]

Man John really killed it with shots in the beginning there

[@2ningmarket]

Man with many talents. KZbin game strong!

[@xTHEROOSTERSHOWx]

That new Metabo cordless 1/2” router would be killer for those ceiling cut outs. Might need to transition to Dewaukeetabo if you’re gonna be doing a bunch more of these ceilings. Also, you aren’t lying about that Windsor One. I did 2 1x panel walls for a customer recently. Convinced him to go with Windsor One and it turned out phenomenal. It also helped that the product shares the same name as me lol.

[@LinzseyslilPad]

Your videos are ridiculously thorough. You’re like a one stop stop for a diy’er. How does the router not damage something inside a hole for a light? What if I have a junction box there?

[@ScottHammet]

Glad to see you posting more again. I hope that means things are settling down for you and your family, and the move. Nice looking ceiling so far.

[@decosse01]

Another great video! Maybe a quick efficiency tip vs having separate router cuts for each half of hole - after you put first board up drill 1" hole with a spade bit, then after fitting second board one-step router cut for whole hole. If you want a reference (so you know roughly where you're going you can always draw a quick half circle on the first board with a pencil (although if you consistently place the hole at what you might call 12 o'clock, you can skip the pencil mark . Maybe not huge, but with a large number of cuts you do half the number of router events and you're only picking up/setting down the router once for each complete hole. And you can even leave all the router cuts till the end with this method. But of course nothing wrong with what you did.

[@rongrose3746]

Very nice finished look !!!! Router info is GREAT !!

[@davidwillis3218]

Hey brother, I love your videos. I have learned so much keep up the good work !

[@olachus]

Greetings from Houston, TX brother! Keep up the good work! Also great tips that you shared. I'm glad you discovered the router solution to those cutouts. A lot of time and stamina saving!

[@westtexascowboy5473]

Your videos have come a long ways brotha. Happy for you.

[@clutchconnor0]

Just ordered the dewalt trim router with the plunge base. Amped to get my hands on it.

[@xxakli]

I am enjoying your efforts on your video editing . . .

[@mosesramirez8038]

Every time I watch one of your videos, it makes me wanna do some work. Great job

[@jimeneazy5999]

Looks great! love watching how your skills have progressed over the years.. Keep it up!

[@acoustictreatmentservices9926]

I do the same tongue nailing/blind nailing when I do t&g boards or flooring on ceilings or soffits. I do add PL Premium adhesive on the back of the boards. Better to be safe. You can see an example on my fabric track tutorial video.

[@acoustictreatmentservices9926]

A little tip too (I have some of the pickiest clients as you can imagine) I not only use a mallet but also a scrap piece of the material we are working with to butt up those seams. i just keep a few on my pouch with the tongue side out

[@jordanchambers1265]

Cinematic shots were on point

[@Certifiedtapeholder]

You gotta talk about that tool belt ! Looking nice 👍🏽

[@stevenfoust3782]

I don’t know what’s better creating beautiful Millwork projects out of a stack of material or all the cool tools with which to create.

[@timothycreasy2161]

That is a smooth clean install boss. Love the into and the slow mo of you doing the cut out.

[@wchops7578]

This is so cool, I’m excited to see the finished product.

[@donaldozuyakte2336]

Awesome video and live that plunge base router!!😍😍🪚🔧🪛🧰

[@jeremylewis1300]

Two thumbs up for this video. You guys do awesome work and you're a great teacher or your craft.

[@itsjustme1949]

Wouldn't you get a more accurate moisture reading by using the cut end of the board instead of going through the prepped side of the wood? Just asking because I don't know.

[@bboyslimek]

love u guys God bless you greeting from Poland

[@Erick-km5us]

Very nice. I appreciate seeing work done right.

[@rickmcneil9566]

As usual Richard your videos are fantastic. You mentioned on your first board to make sure your measurements are accurate so you don't have a smaller portion of board at the end. Could you explain how you do the calculations.

[@joejr9653]

Good video. Ceiling looks great.

[@nalasworld5019]

Always learn new things from brother thank you. God bless

[@chrisrusso8576]

Dude thats not a KZbin video, thats a damn TV show right there.

[@robavis4906]

NIce work as always Richard. Pleasure to watch your videos

[@pedroabeyta1177]

I'm an owner builder, but not a carpenter. The house has a covered patio such as the one in this video. In your video you installed plywood then Tyvek before installing the tongue and groove. Just curious as to why you installed plywood before TG? It seems more practical. I watched another video that did not use plywood before installing the TG lumber. It may be easier but less area to secure finish nails. I appreciate any comment.

[@selectyourtools]

Looks great man! I like that router better then my Bosch that I have. Hahaha

[@ronwhite36]

Another great video! I really enjoy your channel buddy.

[@jefferystone9011]

If the router bit matches the inside dimension of the can light, how will it work with can lights that are set up for 1/2 material without planning to use shear? You would need the outside dimension of the can light. Special router bit?

[@2010pinmaster]

We did a job about 6 weeks ago on a modular building. One half of the building was completely finished with tongue and groove pine board. We had put up about 30 boards on the ceiling when I noticed that something was not right. We seemed to be gaining ground on one end compared to the other. So we measured both ends, and come to find out, we were over 2 inches wider on one end. Measured a few boards and they were all 1/16 to 1/8 wider on one end (same end of the board). I called one of the foreman, told him about the situation and he told us to keep going. We tried spacing the boards on the narrow end but we couldn't make up the ground we had lost. So we had to make a couple of custom boards before we got the other end so it wouldn't show. In the end it turned out ok but what a headache. Before we finished, when we were about 3/4 done, another foreman came to check on our progress. He wasn't aware of our situation so he curious to know why the boards on the wall didn't lined up with those on the ceiling. I told him about the boards, then he said he didn't think the customer would except the work. Not something I wanted to hear but completely understandable. So we stopped, until they could contact the customer. About 20 minutes later we got the go ahead to finish. We were so relieved to hear that. Imagine having to take down over 4000 ft of boards. Having to take it all down and start over to line up the boards on the wall with those on the ceiling would've been a nightmare. I don't know where the boards were milled but their quality control sucks.

[@stevet5379]

Back in the day tongue and groove was always the "utilitarian" lumber and was priced cheap. It was used for roofing, sub flooring and just about anything that you needed a base for. Now it's painted pretty white, not even kiln dried and is now considered as top grade. Oh my, how things have changed...lol.

[@NexusCapital]

I love this channel.

[@ettbortglomtsverige]

John will soon change carrer and become a Hollywood cameraman. 🤩

[@959naq]

Would a 1/4" spiral flush cut bit work better for tearing through that wood like that?

[@sstepinoff1]

Question: Does it matter if the male end faces out when you start? I have seen it done on KZbin both ways. BTY, great instructional video!

[@davesch1512]

Did all the lights line up on the Tongue and groove boards? And if not how do you do that after they are installed in the plywood

[@patadams1673]

Loving your work man. Would love a weeks training with you but im in the 🇬🇧 😂

[@unclejerm7692]

@FinishCarpentryTV - Another great video! …I noticed you didn’t prime the router cuts, why is it important to seal off the end cuts of the board but not the router cuts? Won’t they also try to suck up the moisture?

[@lonmoer9966]

That looks like it was a fun build.

[@satchmodog2]

I saw you using a laser in an older video and wondered how they were now days. The one I had 15 years ago was manure. The Bosch Storm 165 27 seems pretty good from the videos I've seen. If you're trusting a laser measure I can guess it's satisfactory.

[@frankhagar4651]

Good stuff like always, maybe you could show people how to fix a situation where it is out of square

[@dionisiojrluango1819]

This video was very helpful 🔥🔥🔥

[@barryswanson2818]

Great job!! I love your videos.

[@redscortgt93]

Very beginning you said you check the room for square…my question is what do you do if it’s not? lol I’m assuming create a straight starting point and go from there? perhaps a chalk line?

[@scottbertrand2057]

Great job !! Nice and clean look

[@MakeitHappen1]

How do you trim out for can lights, etc when the boxes are mounted to be flush with the finished ceiling. I don’t think a flush trim but would work in that instance. And if the boxes are raised, the mounting screws wouldn’t be long enough. Enjoy the videos!

[@mikemactavish1665]

Did you go back and prime the raw wood in the cut outs?

[@paulbryant68]

great question!

[@chuckschultz3424]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@alexxx6297]

Still good to go on the DeWaukee lol 😂

[@chevron916]

Big fan. Love your work. Can you tell me how you adhere the 1x2 to the ply yet still allow the t&g to expand?

[@samtx5518]

Magnolia Network lookout Richard is coming for Ya!

[@SETTAPERFORMANCE]

Would a high humidity climate eventually cause the brad nails to weaken ? I want to do this on the underside of the deck but I feel like I would have to use staples ? Great info

[@job916]

Looks great. Keep up the good work

[@jebcommon2332]

Awsome work as always.

[@ethanparker5082]

Question regarding where you've notched out the speaker and lights - do you have prime those edges as well?

[@Boinerlicious]

Great stuff, your work is always A1, and ur video editing is on point. I just get this vibe, idk it's different this and the last video. Idk, it seems like your reading a script, which is not a problem, however it's not truly you. Idk, maybe it's me, I obviously don't know you to even throw in my 2 cents, but I guess I'm just venting, for my sake. Love the channel, love the quality of your work, beautiful family, can't wait for next vid! If I'm wrong, it's merely an observation.

[@davidgagnon2849]

I was surprised to not see you make a mark or marks on the ceiling for when you were installing the boards to make sure that one end of the boards wasn’t getting ahead of the other, or even possibly in the middle. Even with all the boards being the exact same size, can’t one side of the room end up being “off” ? Love your videos!

[@angelvasquez452]

Hey Richard great work.. would it be better If you use the 18 gage crown stapler with 2" staples instead of 16 gage neumatic nails?

[@kimmykellyband4564]

Can you do a video on how to do a domed ceiling please?

[@ARandomTrex]

Damn! that material really is good. Last time I did tongue and groove it was so warped I had to constantly pry it into place risking damaging the material.
