Hi, I really like your design. Thank you for creating this video. I was able to build one and this is my first project. I sent you the pictures. The only issue I had was with gopuram. It was very painful to get it close to what you have. I read through all the comments and some of them faced exactly the same set of issues I did. Cutting the crown molding with 7 1/4 miter was not easy and in your video it was kept an angle which I was unable to do with my 7 1/4 miter saw. After lot of research, I set the bevel angle at 33.9 and miter angle at 31.6 but the issue with that was the angle was super steep and it came out flat at the top and it did not have enough depth at the top to hold finials with out edges popping out.

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. We started this project prior to finding this video and was stuck on the gopuram piece. This video helped to solve it. In Canada homdepot and lowes discontinued the 4inch accent you had used. So going to try with the 2 and half. Fingers crossed.

Nicely done, this is the best DIY I have seen so far. Few Quick Questions: 1. What nail size did you use? 2. What type of nailer have you used for this project? 3. What glue did you use for this project?

Thank You.. I used 3/4 inch, 1 inch and 2 inch 18 guage brad nails based on trims i am using them on. I used Ryobi 18 guage cordless brad nailer. Titebond 3 or any wood glue will work.

There’s spray like the one you used and there’s a can and we need to use brush to apply the coat. Does it matter which one we use? Is the spray easier to apply than the one with brush. Is the shine going to be the same?

List of materials updated in the description. The measurements depends on the space and size of the Mandir. The one in the video is 36 inches wide, 16 inch deep and 58 inches in height in total. The lower storage part is 36" W X 16" D X 14" H, legs are around 3" height, Middle portion is 36" W X 16" D X 30" H. Gopuram is around 11 to 12 inches in height

[@rajapantham779]

Very easy and useful video, can you please tell at what angle gopuram was cut?

[@hiran1003]

Hello.. I am so impressed with your work. You work like a professional. I watched your video repeatedly as I want to make two level gopuram. It would be really helpful if you can help me with the measurements of for the moulding. I am using the existing cabinet and the gopuram base is 36"x20". Almost same size size as yours. I have learned that HomeDepot/Lowes can do the cutting for you. Do you think it will be a good idea? OR If i get the MiterBox, can i do it myself?

[@diy-doityourway3779]

Thanks for the kind words. Measurements depend on multiple factors like if you are using any trim on top before the actual gopuram starts, if so width of the trim etc. For example if you use a 2inch trim around on top, the length would be 26 inches (30 -2 -2) and width will be 16 inches(20-2-2) for first level. Homedepot/Lowes does the cutting but they do only straight cuts and wont do cuts for a specific project. So I would recommend getting a cheap miter saw or a miter box and hand saw so you can make the cuts per your build.

[@hiran1003]

@@diy-doityourway3779 Hi.. Happy New Year. I greatly appreciate your response. Thank you very much. I have got the miter box. I will try to cut it myself. One more question, if you don't mind. what should be the measurement of the supports that you put inside?

Yes absolutely. I just have the tools as I work on other home improvement projects aswell, but you can definitely build this with minimal tools. You can find a miter box in home stores for any 45 degree cuts or crown molding cuts. www.lowes.com/pd/Blue-Hawk-14-in-Blade-x-2-25-in-D-Abs-Plastic-Miter-Box/50207359

Thank you. The link to material list is in the description. Size of the drawer box and harathi tray is 14 inch depth and length is 33.5 inch (Total length 36 inch - 1.5 inch - 1 inch) 1.5 inch is because of the two 3/4 inch plywood on the side and 1 inch is the total width of two drawer slides (1/2 + 1/2) Hope this make sense

Thanks. You can use hand saw and a miter box for trims and 44 degree cuts. And for plywood home depot or lowes can cut the plywood to desired dimensions.

When cutting the crown molding, make sure you place it at the same angle you intend to put on the gopuram and the. Do the 45 degree cut. It seems people have had issues with gopuram and crownmolding.

Good morning sir, First of all thank you for inspiring me and my friend to do this DYI. I have built the exact same model and dimensions that you have mentioned in this video and I am struggling with the top crown molding cuts. the top 3/4" plywood board is 36X16, and like you mentioned I have used 3 inch beaded casing moulding on the borders. That left 10X30 in the middle. I have cut 1st layer of 4 inch crown modling that you used @45 degree angles. For the second layer of the same 4inch crow molding I am not able to fit in with in the space. if it is not too much burden can you please share the crown molding cuts and specs (length, angle etc) for the top gopuram. Also can I email pictures/call you for 3-4 min to get the guidance and insight?

[@diy-doityourway3779]

Hello sir. I get what you are saying. If I understand correctly you were able to cut the first tier of the crown molding and you do not have enough space for the top most. I ran in to the same issue when I built my first one. The way I mitigated is increase the inclination angle on the crown molding. When cutting the crown molding bring the bottom of crown molding closer to miter fence which will increase the inclination angle. Follow the same inclination for both top and lower crown molding and you should have enough space on top. You can email me directly at [e-mail] with pics and any questions

[@veturikk]

@@diy-doityourway3779 - "When cutting the crown molding bring the bottom of crown molding closer to miter fence which will increase the inclination angle" - does this mean that you still keep 45 degree cut on miter, however reduce the angle of inclination of crowmolding to the miter wall?

[@diy-doityourway3779]

Yes that is right. You still do the 45 miter cut but bring the base of crown molding closer to the miter fence so when Installed the gopuram is more steeper. Hope this make sense. If not email me and I can help you over there. And good luck with the project.
