    Looks great, but why not sand and stain before you put the beams up?

    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.

  • @RandyL86
    @RandyL86 2 года назад +48

    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.

  • @paddyhall523
    @paddyhall523 Год назад +7

    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.

    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.

    • @lightblade543
      @lightblade543 2 года назад +1

      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.

    • @felishiaallende3308
      @felishiaallende3308 6 месяцев назад

    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.

    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 👏

    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.

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.

    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?

  • @saby8765
