I do accent walls and I find it’s always better for me anyways to start at the top, and leave the cut piece for the bottom plus that gets the highest part out of my way first while I’m fresh. Nothing like climbing a ladder after walking back and forth all day. I love your work btw keep it up.

[@matthewshull8376]

"Thank you...Pinterest", it has become a regular part of my "vocabulary" these days with customers also, haha! Great looking accent wall!

[@TheCdrbaby]

Lol. so I saw something on pinterest can you do this for me :)

[@Mr0Randomness]

your videos (and Instagram stories) are some of the most informative when it comes to finish carpentry. Thank you for sharing

[@aaronduarte9508]

As always your tips and tricks never let us down. Thank you. And yes Pica is marker of the future. I have three of them, one graphite, one white for marking dark hardwoods, and one red that I use with my Dewalt track saw, makes a great contrast up against the black strip of the track,. I haven’t undercut a measurement since I started using red marks. Unlike the Festool track has a clear/white/opaque plastic strip, Dewalt is solid black.

[@kiwdwks]

Nicely done! Always learn something from your videos! Always amazed what you do solo...

[@snatchface8277]

Man that turned out great! 👍 hey if you're ever worried about seeing the nail heads in the tongue through your gap keep a brown or black paint marker on hand. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@calebmorrison3412]

Awesome i would like to see a video on doing this with a vaulted ceiling

[@ArtByCater]

Very cool wall a lot of prep, I have one of those bosh laser measures I need to use it more your right it’s lot easier than a tape on long measurements, I want to do a barn wall but with a little more character & depth. Thanks Chuck

[@MikesLife87]

Thanks for the awesome video. Great work bud

[@shigthehandyman]

That’s a great look! Well done!!

[@zephyr1408]

Hey Spencer buddy ! I got that Franklin Stud finder! After putting up an entire master with wainscoti’ang and fighting that stud-finder I carried around like a dead horse and making studs with it then shooting nails into thin air! I carry the Bosh Lazer measure it seems to be fine so far?? Anyway I gotta get that pencil I carry around like 20 pencils at a time ! Because I break off the lead?? I in N man Ok Thk u as always Spencer!& God Bless U & urs!

[@casycasy5199]

came out nice i would have mitered the vertical board to go around the end of the wall to make it look like a beam to the ceiling

[@gingerlox1050]

@Insider Carpentry - Spencer Lewis Can you please share what paint brand, finish, and color this is? I just love it!

[@ryansteffen8169]

Thanks for the video. I’m confused on the math though. Why did you use 24? Was the overall distance 24’?

[@jamesmoreland3422]

What was for lunch? Thanks for the video.

[@wesheriveaux9325]

Beautiful work

[@edstevens646]

Getting ready to cover a sheet rocked wall with 3/4" x 4" wide rustic wood off old Wyoming snow fence, Couple questions if I may, 1/ what size brads or nail do you use in your pneumatic nailer to fasten this type of wood. 2/ On a sheet rock wall with 16' inch on center framing how do you prep the wall to allow nailing the boards to the wall. I noticed on the sheetrock wall you were nailing your barn wood to, you actually were shooting nails between your marks for the studs. Do you have any advise for my installation so there is plenty of nailing across the wall. Thank you.

[@asevereid]

Project looks good though, those rustic details are going to be a part of your arsenal forever now, you know that right?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The barn beams definitely land me a lot of jobs.

[@ReinierKaper]

That's stained pine? I'm going out on a limb and say that they paid hardwood prices for it haha. I didn't really like it when the video started, but I have to admit, it actually looks pretty nice in the end. It helps when a pro installs it :) And your "Thanks... Pinterest" comment just nailed it!

[@Boinzy476]

Great video. Thanks for explaining your process. Where can I find that barn board?

[@BigmoRivera]

Great Job Nicely Done 👍

[@ldoginak]

How often do you do custom master closets? I’d like a video on how you do closet ledger/ shelving/ brackets. I’ve done a fair amount but it seems like there should be a better way I’m just not sure how🤪

[@InsiderCarpentry]

On all the homes I work on closets are outsourced to a closet company.

[@paulgimenez1846]

That turned out very nice. I didn’t see what brand the laser measuring tool was and I don’t see it in the description

[@InsiderCarpentry]

It’s on my amazon lists. See links in video notes.

[@paulgimenez1846]

Found it just didn’t dig deep enough, thanks

[@cambec]

good tutorial. I don't see the laser measure linked in the notes.

[@theb3stify]

As always great video!

[@LittleJulio.]

...it looks nice and well thought out, like we actually know what we’re doing or something 🤣🤣 Please, that was pure luck.

[@Obeezee56]

Love it man, good job.

[@cdawood1050]

Nice work!

[@jebwild4483]

Great video. I am doing the same thing. One problem is the ceiling has a 3/4 bow in the middle. Any suggestions?

[@JV220]

How do those planks joint next to each cut plank in the rows?

[@TheViper1985]

What color combinations did you use that wall turned out Amazing!!

[@NewYears1978]

Looks great, what kind of wood planks were those?

[@michelsoares562]

Top installation!!

[@dansarfert3585]

Can you explain why you needed the the rack angle to get started? I didn't see any angled cuts. Thanks!

[@InsiderCarpentry]

It tucks back behind the framing skirt board.

[@cliffmauiskimmer3651]

I also didn’t understand. If it’s tucked behind why did it need to be angled?

[@asevereid]

Spencer, I don't wanna see you shorten your trim career, so next time lean your telescoping ladder against the wall at the lower landing and then run your extendable plank on to your ladder at the top of the stairs. Not the best idea, but you'll get full range of motion and access without having to reposition the ladder every few feet.

[@d2woodshop687]

Very cool! Looks awesome!

[@digitalbuzz5174]

Love your videos keep them coming :) I am doing an accent wall above a stair landing with these measurements. The Landing is not flat across it steps down 10 inches to the left of accent wall at the 30 inch mark. So picture this in your mind. From bottom of left step of lower landing its 166 inches to ceiling and from the bottom of right step of upper landing its 156 inches to ceiling. I am fine with the 2 vertical styles but what do I do for the lower landing? I 'm using 5/8 by 1 and 1/2 trim.

[@stuartcairnie9985]

Excellent work as usual, good call on the ladder, not that I've tempted fate before ;^)

[@natedogg5312]

Another excellent video. Did you face nail also or just nail the tongue?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Nailed through the tongue. A few face nails here or there if needed.

[@KeywordManagement]

Gorgeous wall. Where did you find barn board?

[@chejvasquez5202]

Wow nice job 😻✌👌👍

[@jonathankeeler]

Love your work! Where are you located? Thanks

[@karl2051]

Spencer great video thanks, where did you get the barn wood??

[@frd3fadi]

Very nice. I'm just wandering Why u didn't do the steps first? I think just be easier. Great work. Thank you

[@Bobcat1950]

Did you purchase the wood prefinished or did you apply it? Looks Great!

[@kieranfinnerty631]

Lost me a bit on the angle as the boards looked to bypass the stair treads, you lads need to start using Metric it’s so much simpler you’ll catch up someday. Looking good 👍

[@jeffmiller3596]

I was wondering this myself.

[@ealdydar]

Do you find the Leica DISTO D2 is more accurate then the Bosch laser measures in the 60$ plus range

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Yes, but my first laser was a bosch and it was decent.

[@SteveBiologist]

Great job! With the 18, 9, and 4 pieces, how did you keep the ratio on your cuts? How did you decide the lengths? I want to do this on my kitchen wall and want it looking random as well. Thanks!

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Its just random.

[@samharris8430]

Would it be okay to start at the top and work you way down so no matter what the rip is it would be on the bottom?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Yes. You can definitely items do that. With this particular material it would have been much more of a struggle to do it that way though. In this case it was better to have gravity working with me and not against me.

[@winkwink9210]

How do you like the dewalt 20v nail guns ? Tempted to add them to my collection , don’t mind hoses framing but it gets old once your inside the house

[@InsiderCarpentry]

SO so. I’ll probably do a video review on them at some point.

[@winkwink9210]

I look forward to that , it seems like it’s 50/50 out there with love hate reviews on those nailers .

[@jons2304]

Were you laying your end joints out on center of stud locations?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

No, it is a T&G product. No need to.

[@josecorral1716]

Beautiful feature wall. What construction calculator app do you prefer?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Construction Master Pro App

[@WowRixter]

Insider Carpentry Thank you. Love your work and the channel

[@zupp.social]

i know it is easy to start below, but i will run it from top so the trimming will be the bottom one

[@zavoina]

Where did the stair angle com into play as it seemed you were cutting the right end to match the treads? Love watching your work develop this way into a finished product.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The framing skirt is built out off the wall. So its tucked behind the framing stringer.

[@lg3187]

Would you remember where you got this barn wood? It's beautiful-I'm looking for something exactly like this, with these color combinations...Thank you!

@@InsiderCarpentry Many thanks.

[@gtpro700]

Putting the boards tight to the drywall on the left side give you any cause for concern when it comes to expansion and contraction of the wood?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Not with real wood. Real wood expands very little at its length and this was well acclimated to the house.

[@gtpro700]

Insider Carpentry ahhh makes sense. Thanks for the response and love your content and attention to details on your work.

[@kherrera2009]

Where did you get the dewalt table saw extention?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

I have a whole video on it. Search dewalt table saw mods.

[@coachwalrus3158]

Thank you Pinterest. Definitely was not a real thank you. I feel your pain 10 times a week!!😂

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Haha. I joke about it but I actually did enjoy this staircase. If was fun to do something different.

[@Gary-mq1hn]

Not at your level, but curious why you needed a rake cut. Wouldnt a but cut have been hidden since you had no skirt there anyway?

[@civichater]

Always love your videos. What app were you using for the calculations?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Construction Master Pro

[@jeffshackleford3152]

You can take the height of the wall and divide it by your material width instead of guessing at how many pieces go up

[@InsiderCarpentry]

That’s what I did.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

@@InsiderCarpentry Thank God... I have seen some guys try for like 5 minutes guessing and checking... they started at 5 and worked their way to 50

[@bmlsb]

What did you do for the joints that didn't land on a stud ?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Since it is a T&G product it doesn't matter if it lands on a stud because the pieces under and above it lock everything together and keep in plane.

[@roberteduardtecsy2527]

Amazing!!

[@gerardogoveche8064]

Where you get this wood?

[@scottperezfox]

1:57 I think to myself "my god, when are we going to switch to Metric!?"

[@justincunningham5457]

I’ve actually thought about switching to a metric tape for work. Numbers are way more straight forward.

[@gulielmi2002]

as an engineer, when I design fixtures, parts, and assemblies, I do it all in metric (SI). in fact I find it very difficult to do it on anything but SI. When I do wood working, all SAE; I find it difficult to think in SI for carpentry. it comes down to your measuring tools really. all my wood working tools are in SAE as it can be difficult to find SI measuring tools from box stores. next time my in laws from over I will ask for a SI tape measure bc these fractions can be a pain

[@whaahhh]

Why not start at the top ? It is very rare the size of the planks works out, you finish on the bottom where it is less noticeable and usually has baseboard to cover.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Gravity. This stuff is much easier to install when you're working with gravity not against it.

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

I assume you have answered this question but why do you not paint your casework or trim before installation?

[@johannes.f.r.]

Nicely done, though I'm not a fan of spray on tan. I get the fascination with the real stuff, but this looks a little too slick and fabricated.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Homeowner loves it and thats all that matters.

[@johannes.f.r.]

@@InsiderCarpentry That's very true. We have a little more say in what we make, because we design and build (mostly garden) furniture. But in the end it's the client's choice. We provide the service of building what they want.

[@weldingman57]

Great looking job. But not to be the “ safety Nazi” but where is the temporary handrail around that man-eating hole. Saw a carpenter walk off of a locker room in a new high school. Before the ambulance got there they were throwing up a hastily built perimeter rail. And no I couldn’t have warned him as I was on far opposite end.

[@robbobcat7286]

lol Thank You Pinterrest

[@robertsmithUH60driver]

Why not just start from the top?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

It’s way easier to install this stuff when gravity is working in your favor and not against you. I have done it too to bottom before but it works best on shorter walls with more maneagable pieces.

[@robertsmithUH60driver]

@@InsiderCarpentry I see that it would be easier bottom to top. Thats for reply. I hate Pinterest also. Too many ideas for the wife.
