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.
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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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 👏
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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
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?
pro tip you can use all the same size wood but you have to check the angles against all the walls and center beam and if you really want a perfect fit have to measure every beam from long point to short point because no wall is actually square and straight also some 1 by 2 along the main center beam can be used to hide any gaps between ceiling and beam if you have real wavy ceiling and i always make some scribe for the angles against the wall to hide any gaps i also do not glue my beams i use a finish nailer to build them so that i can open or close them also sand on the ground much easier just a few pro tips i was a trim carpenter for 3 years and ive probably built close to 100 sets of these also having help is nice too lol
man.... as a finish carpenter, this was a rough one to watch. watching you make simple mistakes like assembling the beams as one piece before installing them on the ceiling, or not ripping down the side beams (or making the center one taller). Doing this all by yourself is impressive though. Takes a lot of muscles to do that! Dealing with stain grade beams is always a pain so hats off to you! End product looks good and all that really matters is that the woman is happy! Cheers!
The stain can just sitting on the ladder has my anxiety going insane, I don't know how it didn't fall off and spill everywhere, all I can think about xD
FYI most proffesional ladder top caps (including the Werner one he has) have recessed grooves to hold pint, quart and gallon paint cans securely in place while your working. So it looks like it's just setting there put its pushed into the groved holder in the top cap. It also has trays and holes to hold hardware and tools etc.
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.

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!

Did you use all 1×8 for beam and one you use on ceiling
Ever since those barn doors, I get real worried whenever you put on stain...
hahah me too
Skrew anyone that dogs you for finding a solution to the "mistake." This end product looks great!
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.
Amazing job. That was quite the project! I love how u show what goes wrong so people know the reality of the project.
Ended up looking great! I like the “fix” with the decorative pieces. Worked out great
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.
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!
I absolutely love the process, the mistakes, the learning he is going through also. I am now a fan.
Making sure those seams are visible is just spot on bud..half ass carpenter is just spot on
Watching all your videos makes me want to reno mine home. Dont think the hubby will be too happy. 😂😂😂
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.

* starts assembling vacuum *
"No assembly required at all"
I said the same thing 😂
Adds a ton of character to the room.
Screw the haters and negative comments. Keeping it real and looks amazing!
this guy is too STRONG! he can put the 2x6 by itself wow!
not too shabby. adds a lot of punch to that room. nicely done.
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.👍🏻
Looks great! Being a good finish carpenter isn't about not making mistakes, it's about hiding them well.
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
"No assembly required"... shows him putting it together 🤣 nice job dude, looks great
Oooooh yes...I'm getting one of those Hoovers!!!
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 👏
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.
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.
Nice job. You sure have a lot more energy than I have.
Its all a learning curve and you finished 10 out of 10 for me, Well done buddy. Stay Safe.
Oh man I love the rustic gaps on those miters very beautiful👌
I think you did a great job of recognizing a problem, then finding a good solution for it. Great video.
why in gods name would you sand and stain after install......
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! 😊
I like your channel because you’re not afraid to show your mistakes, also shout out from Boise !
Came out nice man! Caps look really good actually
You are a very talented man.
I appreciate that!
I like it! The caps make it look complete.
The fix looks great! Great job Alex!
you have to fix that blinking spot now :)
What about the gaps?
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.
They look great! Really emphasise the height of the space
What a superstar! I love how this project turned out👏🏻
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.
I think it looks great. I would be super happy with this outcome.
Skills on the vacuum looking nice
Definitely need to look at the flickery light and get it taken care of
Looks stunning!
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.
love it!
let 2022 be the year we see the barn doors be replaced lol
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.
there is no perfect in the construction world, glad you show us the mistakes so diyer can learn from it.
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!!!
Very nice work Mr. Alex
Next project, " how to fix flickering light" lol good stuff mate love that beam style, feels like country type
I think this looks amazing even with the small gaps.
Best day of the week
house is lookin dope
Beautiful work
looks awesome, you can see the gaps but for a diy project its great and way better then i could do. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Looks amazing
Love how beautiful it turned out. Great job
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.
16 seconds after upload and im here babyyyyy!
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 great man! Always appreciate you showing your mistakes.
I think it looks great.
Looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
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.
You absolutely killed it! It looks so good man! Job well done!
Nice build, I'm about to do the same.

Looks brilliant 👌👍

Solid recovery! Ignore these haters from the literal peanut gallery, smh

Wow! I love it Sir! Great job
Thank you for keeping it real. God bless great work!
It looks fantastic!
Super nice!!!!!!
Beautiful!!! Will most definitely be trying this💕👍🏻
The stain can just sitting on the ladder has my anxiety going insane, I don't know how it didn't fall off and spill everywhere, all I can think about xD

Amazing!
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.
Dude you are AMAZING! Love your channel bro 👍🏽
Looks great!
Thanks!
So for the center beam would it be best to use 2’x8’ on the outer boards to conceal the gaps?
