Our Beams are DONE!

[@ptown3864]

Pre cut your tape in 1" squares and stick them to your shirt. You can do the V's first, then run your length of tape. I'm a paint contractor and that's what we do. Hope it helps. Big fan of y'all.

[@heystarfish100]

He might try cutting through a whole roll of tape across its width on his bandsaw to make dealing with these short pieces easier.

[@davidneilson3508]

@@heystarfish100 only drawback with that is getting clean edges but it probably would be so minor that you would never see it. Awesome idea 💡🌴👍👍😎🌴

[@artemioquintero7866]

Great tip.

[@heystarfish100]

@@davidneilson3508 It all about having more teeth on the blade per inch. A fine toothed narrow kerf hand saw should do well like a fret saw or coping saw.

[@FreedomMath]

That's brilliant. Thanks for the tip. Almost as good as the look my wife will give me when she walks in on me looking like I'm a molting green snake. 😅 😂

[@gssuper1438]

festool lime green will compliment those beams nicely

[@Benmelech]

After setting your gauge with the length of the board, I would’ve seen how would fit 6 inches away and keep doing that until it wasn’t snug anymore. Then I would remeasure, instead of one at a time. I was always extremely detail oriented, but also consider what is most efficient. You’re a master craftsman Richard, and have been following you for years ❤.

[@thecrazylifeofafrazier61]

I applaud your attention to detail! My wife never understands why I measure and cut with such tight tolerances. Love watching you work. Your house and all of your jobs are simply excellent. Cheers!

[@BobbieJeanM]

Oh yeah, definitely the festool green! 🤣😂🤣

[@skigeek]

It's so refreshing to see young craftsmen taking such pride in their work. This project looks amazing. I can tell you there is no way in this world I would be going through all of that detail. I do have great appreciation for the amount of work you are putting into this project all to achieve the most perfect look possible. Architecture like this is missing from most modern construction.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Believe me, only really rich people pay to have work like this done. He’s adding a tremendous amount of value to the home.

[@RAREFORMDESIGNS]

It's not architecture.

[@DrewWheeler-z6i]

An appreciation for your trade . Your approach to jump into new ideas . The curved moulding you made on the older home was impressive. Being in the finishing trade as a tile setter we never stop learning new techniques and processes. Keep up the good work👍

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

Trim carpentry has always been a skill that I thought I would never acquire. But I have been consuming your videos and learning the tricks and techniques that I need for my house renovations. I trimmed out a door using your techniques and it turned out great. I’m a super fan of your work.

[@heystarfish100]

My neck, shoulders and lower back hurt just from watching you install this ceiling Richard. All of my best wishes to you both on this project.

[@olleygator7015]

I would prepaint and call it done!

[@alexlucey1838]

Did carpentry work for two years. Your videos make me want to get back into it! Amazing work

[@terichampion1165]

Your attention to detail is beyond impressive. You take such pride in your work and it shows. Thanks for walking us through a day at work with you.

[@shawngeraghty6347]

I learn so much from your videos. I always wondered how a stair tread was cut, since I didn't know the tool existed. And it's not crazy, it's being dedicated to your craft. Keep up the great work, and the videos too! Thanks.

[@roysnider3456]

I’m happy you’re back doing video’s ,I really enjoy them.

[@jameslabranche4839]

looking good! NGL I would have prefinished the 4' boards and put them up like that. Keep up the good work!

[@davidneilson3508]

Fit and finish is amazing. Every detail thought out ahead of time. This house is going to be a masterpiece of your craft. 🌴👍👍😎🌴

[@clintprice2123]

The outcome is so well worth the effort. This is what craftsmanship is all about. Coming home to this house must be so gratifying. Well done Richard!

[@KnightGravy]

As always, you’re bringing the A game! Im posted in Germany right now so, if you need anything from festool you can’t get lemme know!

[@JohnGilliganIII]

Thanks for the videos, I love to watch and think of what I could have done with all the knowledge that you give away. After many remodels of an oceanfront property I have found out that a shade from B. Moore ( Navaho White) pleased both decorators and guests. Gily

[@chadhensch4748]

You do such remarkable work. I'll only add that I've marked an L and R with sharpie on my stair gauges to remind myself from cutting the wrong angle--if I unintentionally flip the jig 180 degrees during marking phase on the board. Ask me how I know this. Yes, it also saves wasting material on incorrect cuts.

[@johnarizona3820]

Well done! I have a house built in 1927 and in the fourier it has a big beam which was covered in paneling as is the rest of the house. Now I know what I want to do with it = same! Just need the $ now. Thanks for showing your job!

[@CardinalVibes]

Tedious or not, this was definitely the way to go. Once you put that second board in I could see the vision. Beautiful work.

[@joelupah6662]

Your channel is fabulous.....so glad I found it. Your attention to detail is amazing. And P.S. Festool Lime Green for the win.

[@GavinRomer]

Im impressed. You made it work. Way to go brother!

[@mariannedeangelo2319]

Another great video!! Paint the ceiling white. It’s timeless and will look great against the natural wood beams.

[@Young_Star]

You're a mad man, taping every V notch. You weren't kidding about endurance. I would probably think about doing it then say F* it when it came time to tape. Makes sense though when you put that much work already into getting clean joints.

[@stevenfoust3782]

Finish carpenters are next level meticulous. It’s going to look amazing. That green tho had me rollin’ 😂😂

[@alraybaca6235]

I really enjoy your video's and work you do I have learned a lot from your video's and have more work to do around the house because my wife also watches your videos.

[@JackStevenson5045]

Brilliant work. I’m doing a large room with tall ceilings, and it’s a lot of work and will take forever. I’m just doing one step at a time. Your work is over the top. Thanks for sharing your skills and great ideas.

[@whatthehellimbored]

Definitely go with the lime green.

[@jackww839]

Richard …..you are a legend sir!!

[@andrewbrown8148]

Richard, WOW~! That's some serious detailed finish carpentry, but this is the kind of work for which we love watching your channel~! Cannot wait to see the finished result. And Festool lime green?? I double-dog dare you~! 😅

[@IceCat143]

Beams look so good.

[@jefferyholland]

You are a very patient man.I would have put a small trim against the beam. That is why you are the man.

[@michaellear1060]

Amazing work Richard, been watching a few of your vid's in series, gone from "I'm not a bid fan of Festool" Too, "I bought a domino, now I bought a track saw, I'm just gonna sand this with my RO90, have a look at my HKC circular saw"...... Welcome to team green brother, there's no turning back now =)

[@migdi242424]

I'm convinced you two do the best trim work around. Looks beautiful white. Amazing.

[@danjones442]

With smaller beams where there is t&g we have ran the t&g first snapped lines and from the backside of beam sides we pocket screw into every piece of t&g. What this does is eliminate the need to scribe and sucks every piece of t&g tight to the beam sides.

[@gusgusnft8231]

Glow in the dark colors!!!

[@joelw6215]

I just Finished a study with Builtins and they did black with Matte bronze accents. I have also built a black closet with white oak trim and it was sexy.

[@spacecadet3879]

“That’s a crazy detail, who cares about that… I do” lmao love it

[@gusgusnft8231]

Excellent work like always!

[@T_Jonesy]

Ceiling is going to be gorgeous. Seems like it might have paid to paint the tongue and groove slats prior to installing them.

[@vansnguyen]

My thoughts exactly. Prepainting seems like it would save a lot of heartache

[@Jacob_Of_All_Trades]

The only issue is that the boards will get scuffed from your hands (even if you keep them super clean), saw deck, hammer, stacking them, or literally anything. Gotta spray after install for a pristine finish, and Richard would not settle for anything less than pristine!

[@davidkahler9390]

You would also likely get some paint on the tongue/groove and make it a lot harder to seat

[@patrickday4206]

I normally have them painted first and then a coat in place to fix an imperfections

[@exigauner]

I love my hkc55, ist one of my best investments👍 By the way, the new festool ts60 tracksaw works with the hkc55 track too.

[@dbirocci]

festool lime green for sure

[@mrrepurpose9596]

Looks nice. Well worth going the extra mile to miter the joints.

[@JAT922]

Love the white oak beams. Couldn’t you have pre painted the tongue and groove since you blind nailed them?

[@ralphyboy3856]

It’s like we say if you want it done right do it yourself to your liking 💪💪💪 very nice work

[@antonvink]

You could put the tape partially behind the tongue and groove, i've done that before, you also don't have to caulk because it's impossible paint gets behind it. After painting you take a razersharp knife and cut the tap at the seamline. I have experience that it's much faster that way

[@The-Iceman]

Super clean and awesome. Way to go man. This also inspired me to get a shorty track rail for small work just like this. The 55” is too cumbersome I love the content

[@Jack-mw7dz]

I use sherwin williams interactive cream on all my ceilings, I have never liked white ceilings. It really lets the white crown show nicely.

[@jonathanviborg4229]

It sure looks very tidy to see the beam behind the grooves but in terms of looking authentic would it not be wiser to take the other route and mimic the beams supporting the subfloor? Or maybe this is the way it would look like if there was a subfloor and you actually dressed it up from underneat in the old days if you wanted exposed beams? Very fine work any way!

[@TheFishingFL]

I think the cupping goes along with that rough sawn look you have on the beams! If you wanted to fix that you could’ve run kerfs lengthwise down your boards and nailed on a couple small boards/blocks on the inside to flatten it

[@davidlynch2443]

Well would you not have to allow for expansion on the tongue and groove and the beams as well

[@mikedruce1701]

I’m sure you’re done the ceiling now - but I saw an opportunity for you to build a jig to hold your quick grip to your cutting surface so it says in the same place between cuts - all you’d have to do is tighten the grip. Good work! The details absolutely matter and it’s not crazy.

[@bdidier37]

Sky blue! Make it like a skylight

[@patrickday4206]

I've installed beams like these as a pre-built piece but have to trim out the ends. Though much smaller

[@josephgreenwood5729]

Gotta admit, I didn't think those bevels would turn out so well. T&G just belongs on a ceiling. Keep up the great work.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Simply FANTASTIC guys!!! Hopping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@mandyleeson1]

Love your attention to detail AND fortitude. Looks beautiful.

[@franciscogutierrez357]

This is amazing,i love every detail,,good work..

[@rongrose3746]

Really LIKE that look /finish !

[@ferggill9461]

i would recommend a soft panel adhesive on the back of the some of the boards. It would help prevent sag and ensure a lose board in the future won't pull down the boards next to it.

[@JoeSmoeDoeLow]

Paint it lime green for sure 👌

[@bibeaubuilds2869]

Very nice. Love the work

[@markflajsner9944]

WHITE!! Great work, great attention to detail, at a certain price point, that's what discerning clients are willing to pay for.

[@francoisg3009]

What you do is amazing! So talented!

[@jimmyp7082]

I was in this situation and i chose to put the tongue and groove planks before the beam so that it visualy looks like the planks are sitting ontop of the beam but either way it looks great. Many ways to do it

[@davidporterrealestate]

definitely go with the lime

[@Carl-LaFong1618]

Holy smoke, such detail. It's really looking great. My sister (an interior designer) told me never to give advice on colors. I've made some bad decisions in the past. 😁

[@greganixter7352]

Truly impressive attention to detail!

[@connorcarlin6056]

looks fire my man such great work

[@RobHarbaugh]

An update video once your wife sees the Festool green would be great. Jokes aside looks awesome, love the series

[@daryldavirro4237]

Its going to be beautiful

[@Cooper1]

Very impressive work. I wish more craftsmen showed this attention to detail. But wouldn't the dark voids between the v-grooves (vs seeing the beam in the notch) actually mimic building a tongue & groove roof deck on top of beams better? That would not only be more representative of the real thing, but I would think it would go up quicker & be easier to paint too. Just my opinion. It's fantastic either way!

[@josbc448]

Looks great but historically the t and g represents the subfloor right? So if it was functionally the floor above you would not be able to see the wood through the notch. Still looks great though.

[@williammikesh343]

Excellent!

[@brucemackinnon3340]

Great job richard and john,its all in the details

[@JWimpy]

Looking fantastic. The money is in the details.

[@albertm8576]

Your video is awesome and of course your attention to detail is so so impressive. Love your work and videos. Keep ‘em coming!

[@choimdachoim9491]

I agree with your reason for doing this the hard way and I recommend you use scissors or utility-knife when you tape those little spaces. Cut squares (assuming they're 90 degree angles) and install quick and easy. And uhh...yeah...wife is going to love Festool green.

[@Armand9100]

In original post and beam construction the t&g boards would be the floor or roof decking which laid on top of the beams so installing the boards first would have given a more authentic look.

[@bla156]

Always Festool lime green and on everything.

[@buildithow]

"Festool lime green" luv your soh 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jessejohnson1557]

You should have domino’d your mitres as it holds them in place super easily ! Especially considering you allready have the domino I think ? Last time I had to encase a steel post in cedar I dominod my mitres and the thing came out perfect and hasn’t moved in years

[@goinwithflow9875]

Beautiful

[@OldguyChris]

I had to do some cedar beams that way a few years back...used liquid nail instead of Pl...but pl is way better...they look great...like a Solid beam

[@rm.builds]

Outstanding work as always man! Swiss Coffee would look great paired with the natural white oak 🤝🏽

[@jt5747]

Any concern with the T&G moving/expanding and buckling between the beams?

[@wchops7578]

Choked on my coffee ice cream with the “Festool lime green” 😂 But maybe Benjamin Moore White Dove

[@mx5again-iw8ml]

Looks great

[@kevinwett2212]

looks great. maybe marine corps red with festool green.

[@ronniebassett5577]

Looks fantastic

[@rickcimino743]

Definitely go with the Festool lime green. All kidding aside, when it's your own house you go slow, take your time and get great results. Having said that, I think you could have either gone two boards at a time or gotten (or made) a larger stair gauge so that you could go two boards at a time.

[@JRaymer315]

So this is probably nieve of me but id like to learn. Why not pre-paint the tongue & groove before installation?

[@BWIL2515]

Man I love the saw and as it's been said little squares of tape will be the way to go. Matt off white you're ceilings with any dark colors to me gets to dark but also the how the beam's will stand out and get a darker look as always you take the best approach to all your work and it shows great look and finish

[@kevinlucas8437]

Awesome look !!! You'll be doing these steps in your sleep !!!! Maybe even a nightmare when every cut is short 😕

[@shedactivist]

Funny, I would prefer to see the bead gaps over the beam because then it would show that the beam was actually holding up the floor above. That would be the correct look.

[@roczilla6834]

Perfection!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@peterbergeris6510]

The boards going in-between the beams. Aren't they all the same? Why do u place the jig on the 3 " piece about an inch from each end?

[@coolbugfacts1234]

this seems like a job that the festool exoskeleton would help with :)
