  • This vaulted ceiling is huge and deserves a moment in my living room design. I constructed complicated faux wood beams to hang from the ceiling and bring it to life!

    Looks fantastic! Very well done Melissa! The beams do look original and they match nicely. Those beams with that long slightly warpy lumber came together very nicely, that's not an easy task!

    Wow! Truly awesome. I had been thinking about doing the very same thing for our ceiling downstairs, but after thinking about it some more, I decided not too. One reason was that I wasn’t so sure I could do it as at the time, I was more of a novice in home renovation. After watching your video, I see how it can be done. I might try to do it upstairs next year. This year, I have to finish the downstairs so that at least one floor in the house will be done. Good luck with your renovations. I’ll subscribe.

    Looks great. I had a new vaulted ceiling installed in my sunroom and they put in beams. Mine are the fake Styrofoam variety but they still look very good for texture. Mine are also stained to resemble yours very closely in color. Beams add so much to a room in my opinion.

    Amazing work! I have to admit, I would probably have suggested having the screw blocks turned 90 degrees so that you were attaching to side grain vs end grain, for fear of splitting the blocks. No other notes from me though, and I'm sure having the weight distributed across the fastening points means that even if one fails, the beams will still be secure. This is not an easy task, and you pulled it off perfectly!

  • @cybercapri

    Well done... As with any project, creativity is key to success, and you were successful. Something to consider when using a feather board is to ensure the workpiece does not back out from the saw. You want to flex the feather board a bit, not much, but a bit to get it started that way it won't move and will only allow the workpiece to go one way. In fact think of a feather board as a one way street hence the reason the feathers are angled to allow a bit of flex. Now, obviously, if you install the feather board too tight you will struggle getting the board in and that's bad for a completely different reason. A feather board is designed to eliminate, or at the very least reduce, kickback; if you don't know kickback is if the blade catches the board and violently forces it back into the direction of the person operating the saw. If you've ever seen a Ballista, or Scorpion from GOT, operate as it shoots an arrow imagine that arrow is the board that just kicked back from the sawblade.
    For many years I used a similar saw for making my cuts on the jobsite and I learned early on there's no such thing as too solid a base for the saw to be secured to. The last thing you want is the saw to tip, for whatever reason, and material is lost. That cuts right into profits with the quickness. Something you could consider doing is using a 4x4 3/4" plywood base with 4 sets of screws to attach the saw to in each corner. The plywood would act as your large footprint to keep your saw secure. If you find it moving you can always weigh down the plywood with cinder blocks or other heavy things that should stay below the top of the table with ease and out of the way. The best way to run a table saw is when it's as secure as possible. Simply center the saw on the plywood, mark and drill the 4 corners, then from the bottom up, run carriage bolts with a washer/nut on top to secure the bolt to the plywood, then a second washer/nut to quickly secure the saw to the plywood. I said nut but feel free to use wing nuts if you have them for quick break down and set up.
    Great project as always...

  • @phalstaf

    Another cool destressing detail is to lay a lag bolt on the wood then hit it with a hammer. Also use a torch in random areas before staining. That really helps it look old and worn. Nice job on these!
