As a builder we see our own mistakes/things we'd like to change more than anyone else. This looks like a project that took a ton of work and I hope you aren't wishing for a do-over for the mistakes you pointed out.
It's nice to see videos that actually show mistakes. So many DIY videos make it seem like things go perfectly every time, which we know is not true. I appreciate seeing things that go wrong, helps us learn as well. I also think those decorative block pieces you made to cover the gaps look really good, I think it actually makes it look better. And last, same question as multiple others, why did you not sand and stain the beams before securing them to the ceiling?
I like how this guy keeps it real. No fluff in his content, gives us the blood, sweat and tears, when other content creators tries to make it appear as if they're robots with no imperfection. Mr. Build it shows us that's he's actually human and not just some AI created machine. Respect to his work, big time.
I've seen you do some awesome creations, but because you're awesome the finish never surprises me. But watching you struggle, make mistakes and embracing it it on this build and how difficult it must be doing this.. makes you even more awesome. Massive respect. PS. it looks sensational regardless of mistakes.
Awesome project Alex. I especially appreciate you showing the mistakes. It’s such an important part of the process and allows you to appreciate the end product that much more.
I'd have ripped 1x8s to the correct width and put them on the bottom of the center beam along the whole thing. Would give the center beam a little beefier look and covered the joint gaps. Also when gluing open (U shaped) troughs like the beams, have spacers in the open sides so they don't bow in like that (learned that doing long flowerboxes) Overall great job though. Certainly adds a lot to the room.
I had the same thought. This method could also cover that butt joint at the fan box with a single piece and drill the hole out. Would be a tad cleaner.
I was not prepared for how much it added to the room. It really emphasizes the beautiful vaulted ceiling! With all the white on white you just couldn’t appreciate the vault before the beams.
Great job. I just remember when I was growing up a pro asked me; “what’s the difference between a pro and a novice? A pro just knows how to cover up there mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes.” You did a great job on the fix. I would say you’re the biggest critic, but I know from previous videos the wife is the final judge and has proven to make you redo things just like mine.
looks great. I think for my fix, I would have put one more board on the bottom of the beam the length of the room, as you said, to make more depth to center beam.
One other tip to give a helping hand when hanging the beams is use a 12in one handed clamp to pinch the 1x6. This will give a helping hand when working alone. Thats why old carpenter always have a crap ton of different clamps in their tool trucks. Good job 👏
Really appreciate you showing mistakes you have made its not something I'd have thought to check. Have recently started buying tools. So far have gotten as far as sds drill, combi drill, impact driver, jig saw. Next on my list is a circular saw so i can make some floating shelves and built in wardrobes.
Minwax wood filler would have been my best friend here. Just a suggestion, but to me to really seal this look here, I would add border to square off ceiling with beams.
Sir I could feel your frustration lifting those into place. I want to do something similar but the ceiling is much lower so I'll have to miter. Luckily it is a flat ceiling though I'll have hvac as my obstacle.
Very good what you doing, but you got me very nervous. You should have used a baker scaffolding for easy install and for your safety 😅 very nice 👍🏻 Also, I like to do the sanding prime or stain before I do the install and later just do some touch up any imperfections.
Jeez that’s sick but my shoulders were in pain just watching you haha. Most be brutal sleeping in that bed for the next couple weeks getting stoned off the stain fumes.
I actually love the “mistake”. Those decorative centers are gorgeous!! They took the stain perfectly to highlight them as the crown jewel of this project. Love it!
I just purchased a house and there is a large room with faux beams. The room is about 15' x 30' and the beams run the 30' length. I want put up a wall and make this into two rooms, which means the wall will go across the beams. Do I construct the wall around the beams or cut them out and install the frame and sheetrock between the cutout. Thank you for any advise.
How did you anchor the 2x4 nailers to the drywall where they didn’t line up with a truss? I’m having this issue and best solution I’ve found so far is drywall Toggle bolts
Too save a bit on cost do you think it's feasible to use like 1 ft section of 2x6s spread out for the mounting points rather than one continuous piece? I would imagine it's strong enough but I'm thinking alignment might be a bit more challenging.
Nice build, I'm about to do the same. Agree with others - sand/stain before install! Also, those decorative caps to cover your upper beam depth "mistake" still look to me like a coverup. I think you should have just added another full length of "2 by" material to pad it down, with a new circle cutout for your electrical box. Another tip would have been to use miters everywhere instead of butt joints so the beams look a bit less "faux" Last lesson - get a helper! I could sense your frustration, two sets of hands would surely have been less painful! Thanks for including your mistakes in the video!
It seems, in the video, that there were some gaps between the ceiling and the top of the beam in some places. If you didn't want to cover that with any kind of moulding, how would you go about marking and coping the beam to the ceiling for a better fit?
In the world of grey and cool whites, this is a welcome change. You could've gone with a darker color stain for a more dramatic look and of course you need a chandelier.
Maybe something else that could have been done is cut a length of timber (same timber as the boxes) with two angled edges following the ceiling pitch so covers the gaps ?
Kirby is the way to go. Picked ours up second hand for $75 and it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever had. We do have a Dyson cordless for the hardwood floors though.
I like the project. I always like that look in the house. I felt your pain when you were trying to put the beam up and was thinking he's going to take them down and sand them, and pain / stain them but you didn't. That hurt me. I figured you would do that before you secured them in their place. Still great job and project. Love the channel

Looks great, but why not sand and stain before you put the beams up?
I was just about to comment that exact thing
hahahaha, knew someone else has the same quiestions than i have, yes, why not did all tha sanding and stainig before?
And the world will never know.
None of that looked safe, at all.
Maybe to make sure everything fitted properly and have it all secured I'm guessing lol

I know it's very difficult, especially that high up - but man, spend a couple hours and scribe these to fit. It will change everything.
Thank you, Sir. My husband was really glad to finally see someone who shows their struggles and mistakes. He thought he was the only one.
Great job!
Amazing job. That was quite the project! I love how u show what goes wrong so people know the reality of the project.
Love the rustic yet modern and clean feeling. You are so talented! We love watching you for inspiration and for the reality of bespoke workmanship.
Ended up looking great! I like the “fix” with the decorative pieces. Worked out great
Awesome project Alex. I especially appreciate you showing the mistakes. It’s such an important part of the process and allows you to appreciate the end product that much more.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Did you use all 1×8 for beam and one you use on ceiling
I absolutely love the process, the mistakes, the learning he is going through also. I am now a fan.
I was not prepared for how much it added to the room. It really emphasizes the beautiful vaulted ceiling! With all the white on white you just couldn’t appreciate the vault before the beams.
Screw the haters and negative comments. Keeping it real and looks amazing!
Ever since those barn doors, I get real worried whenever you put on stain...
hahah me too
The “fix” looks great! Thank you for showing us the reality of of this project… including the mistakes…which are really just learning!
The “fix” tied it all in. Looks great.👍🏻
Oh man I love the rustic gaps on those miters very beautiful👌
And another up vote for seeing the trial and error, much more relatable and encouraging to see if things go wrong how to overcome it
not too shabby. adds a lot of punch to that room. nicely done.
Skrew anyone that dogs you for finding a solution to the "mistake." This end product looks great!
Oooooh yes...I'm getting one of those Hoovers!!!
You did such a great job that it looks like you added those caps on purpose. Sometimes the imperfections are what makes it look perfect.
Great job. I just remember when I was growing up a pro asked me; “what’s the difference between a pro and a novice? A pro just knows how to cover up there mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes.” You did a great job on the fix. I would say you’re the biggest critic, but I know from previous videos the wife is the final judge and has proven to make you redo things just like mine.
Adds a ton of character to the room.
Looks great! Being a good finish carpenter isn't about not making mistakes, it's about hiding them well.
Watching all your videos makes me want to reno mine home. Dont think the hubby will be too happy. 😂😂😂
looks great. I think for my fix, I would have put one more board on the bottom of the beam the length of the room, as you said, to make more depth to center beam.
Its all a learning curve and you finished 10 out of 10 for me, Well done buddy. Stay Safe.
The fix looks great! Great job Alex!
* starts assembling vacuum *
"No assembly required at all"
I said the same thing 😂
why in gods name would you sand and stain after install......
I like it! The caps make it look complete.
Came out nice man! Caps look really good actually
Making sure those seams are visible is just spot on bud..half ass carpenter is just spot on
What a superstar! I love how this project turned out👏🏻
You are a very talented man.
I appreciate that!
I like your channel because you’re not afraid to show your mistakes, also shout out from Boise !
I think it looks great. I would be super happy with this outcome.
I think you did a great job of recognizing a problem, then finding a good solution for it. Great video.
One other tip to give a helping hand when hanging the beams is use a 12in one handed clamp to pinch the 1x6. This will give a helping hand when working alone. Thats why old carpenter always have a crap ton of different clamps in their tool trucks. Good job 👏
this guy is too STRONG! he can put the 2x6 by itself wow!
Nice job. You sure have a lot more energy than I have.
"No assembly required"... shows him putting it together 🤣 nice job dude, looks great
What about the gaps?
Looks stunning!
Love how beautiful it turned out. Great job
They look great! Really emphasise the height of the space
Really appreciate you showing mistakes you have made its not something I'd have thought to check. Have recently started buying tools. So far have gotten as far as sds drill, combi drill, impact driver, jig saw. Next on my list is a circular saw so i can make some floating shelves and built in wardrobes.
looks awesome, you can see the gaps but for a diy project its great and way better then i could do. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Skills on the vacuum looking nice
16 seconds after upload and im here babyyyyy!
Very nice work Mr. Alex
Looks great man! Always appreciate you showing your mistakes.
Minwax wood filler would have been my best friend here. Just a suggestion, but to me to really seal this look here, I would add border to square off ceiling with beams.
love it!
let 2022 be the year we see the barn doors be replaced lol
Definitely need to look at the flickery light and get it taken care of
Beautiful work
Looks amazing
Best day of the week
Utmost respect for you man. Learned so much and always enjoy watching your videos!!!

you have to fix that blinking spot now :)
Please make sure u open up that light that kept going out! Could be a lose wire behind the fixture and be a HUGE fire hazard. Please make sure u do!!!
I think it looks great.
Looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
Jeez that’s sick but my shoulders were in pain just watching you haha.
Most be brutal sleeping in that bed for the next couple weeks getting stoned off the stain fumes.
house is lookin dope
Awesome project 🤘 tough one man job...
I think this looks amazing even with the small gaps.
Great video!
I actually love the “mistake”. Those decorative centers are gorgeous!! They took the stain perfectly to highlight them as the crown jewel of this project. Love it!
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful!!! Will most definitely be trying this💕👍🏻

I'm from sweden, love your videos bro!
looks great! how are you going to conceal the gaps at the bottom of the beams where they meet the wall? molding? just curious
Probably white caulk
@@Daichidesu095 caulk and paint make you the carpenter you aint!
As the saying go, do your best and caulk the rest
i was waiting for him to scibe them, definitely should have
some of the beams look like they’re half inch from the wall, that’s a big caulk joint
Looks brilliant 👌👍
How did you anchor the 2x4 nailers to the drywall where they didn’t line up with a truss? I’m having this issue and best solution I’ve found so far is drywall Toggle bolts
It looks fantastic!
Wow! I love it Sir! Great job
Too save a bit on cost do you think it's feasible to use like 1 ft section of 2x6s spread out for the mounting points rather than one continuous piece? I would imagine it's strong enough but I'm thinking alignment might be a bit more challenging.
You absolutely killed it! It looks so good man! Job well done!
Nice build, I'm about to do the same.
Agree with others - sand/stain before install!
Also, those decorative caps to cover your upper beam depth "mistake" still look to me like a coverup. I think you should have just added another full length of "2 by" material to pad it down, with a new circle cutout for your electrical box.

Super nice!!!!!!
Dude you are AMAZING! Love your channel bro 👍🏽
Another idea to fix the gaps would’ve been to just run one more 1X6 along the bottom of the center beam, but I think it still came out great.
Thank you for keeping it real. God bless great work!
Solid recovery! Ignore these haters from the literal peanut gallery, smh
I like the caps.
It seems, in the video, that there were some gaps between the ceiling and the top of the beam in some places. If you didn't want to cover that with any kind of moulding, how would you go about marking and coping the beam to the ceiling for a better fit?

🤩 amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Great video as always! Does anyone know the song he uses for the reveal at the end? Love it.
Maybe something else that could have been done is cut a length of timber (same timber as the boxes) with two angled edges following the ceiling pitch so covers the gaps ?
Who ya kidding- you know your bougie wife uses a Dyson vacuum. How long till this Hoover one is sold on Facebook marketplace 😂
Kirby is the way to go. Picked ours up second hand for $75 and it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever had. We do have a Dyson cordless for the hardwood floors though.
I like the project. I always like that look in the house.

So for the center beam would it be best to use 2’x8’ on the outer boards to conceal the gaps?
