Awesome work! Thank you so much for sharing detailed information. Much appreciated. With your help, I am able to do it. Can't say thank you enough! 🙏🙏🙏
Its a great work done and thanks for providing the list of all the items too👌👌
wonderful work. thanks for sharing
Hi,
I really like your design. Thank you for creating this video. I was able to build one and this is my first project. I sent you the pictures. The only issue I had was with gopuram. It was very painful to get it close to what you have. I read through all the comments and some of them faced exactly the same set of issues I did. Cutting the crown molding with 7 1/4 miter was not easy and in your video it was kept an angle which I was unable to do with my 7 1/4 miter saw. After lot of research, I set the bevel angle at 33.9 and miter angle at 31.6 but the issue with that was the angle was super steep and it came out flat at the top and it did not have enough depth at the top to hold finials with out edges popping out.
Thanks for the video, I followed your video and recreated it. added gold point on gopuram and it turned out great.
Awesome job, thanks for sharing
Excellent video, great skills.
Your video is inspirational for us. We are going to start our DIY project soon. thank you so much for your video n details of the materials.
Good work. Thanks for providing all the details.
Pure art ❤ Beautiful 😍
Wow !!! Truly amazing!
Thank you for the detailed video. With the help of video, we could built one during this COVID pandemic.
That's great. Glad the video helped. Please share your project pics at diyaddict2016@gmail.com
Inspiring video .I m thinking to create one
Very very very impressive . Superb . Thanks for sharing the details . Here we go to get materials
Awesome video, thank you so much 🙏
Well done brother.excellant workmanship
Very nicely done!
Love the moulding user of mandir top.
Very nicely done. Thank you for the detail steps.
Great work and I got inspired by your wonderful work, effort and amazing interest. I m in making one for us and in final stage to finish off with color and want to paint the same color what you have used, so would you mind to let me know the paint you have used and from where to get it would really help. Thanks 🙏
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. We started this project prior to finding this video and was stuck on the gopuram piece. This video helped to solve it. In Canada homdepot and lowes discontinued the 4inch accent you had used. So going to try with the 2 and half. Fingers crossed.
Glad the video was helpful. Yes I came to know that the crownmolding is not available in Canada through another viewer who was able to use different type of molding and complete the mandir. Good luck with the project. You can email me at diyaddict2016@gmail.com if you have any questions.
This is great! Thanks for posting, you have inspired me to build one.
Amazing chaitu .chala baaga chesavu .maa akka chepthe choosanu ee video . Looks like professionally done ...
Thanks akka 😊
Excellent work! We made a similar one following your vedio and turned out great. I am at the stage of painting the whole thing. I see the stores carry 2 varieties of polyurethane coat. There’s spray like the one you used and there’s a can and we need to use brush to apply the coat. Does it matter which one we use? Is the spray easier to apply than the one with brush. Is the shine going to be the same?
Excellent work
Many ppl are doing easy videos for views. But you are great man. It’s really great video and appreciate your hard work. 👏👏👏
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
Well done
Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing it. You did a wonderful job. 😊🙏
Thanks for the kind words
1) Do have any recommendation for size of the screws?
2) I am building a 48'' x 24'' do you recommend adding any support to the bottom box (inside) to prevent the top board from sagging
Thanks for posting the video. Lovely design. Was the miter set at 45 degrees and 0 degree bevel for the gopuram? Can't tell if this is a compound miter cut or not.
Thank you verymuch for making the video. I was able to make one of the same model. 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome. Glad the video helped. If you did not, send the picture at diyaddict2016@gmail.com
If you have already sent it this morning, it looks fabulous 😍
Yep.tht was me 🙏
Awesome 👌
Hello! This is BEAUTIFUL! may I ask how long the whole process took for you to complete?
Thanks for sharing the video
With this inspiration we( I, my sister and her husband wanted to DIY this project, due to place issue and lack of tools etc. We gave up the idea of doing it and approached home depot, if we could get any contact and finally we go it done for just 100$ excluding material costs.
I have shared the pics with you.
Thank you, thank you and thank you.
God bless you abundantly.
Hi, It's an absolutely amazing project!
Can you please share the list of tools you used?
Nice job brother
Thank you very much for descriptive information. Like to know molding cutting angle for gopuram. Thank you
Hi , wow this is awesome ... am trying to build it, can you please provide details on nail gun and nail gauge and size you used on the crown molding? thanks
It’s a nice Mandir.
Could you tell me if I can cut for the gopuram using circular saw? And what are the angles to cut?
Awesome design 🙂👌, lekin Ghar k mandir me gumbaj nhi banana chahiye
Super 🙏🙏👍
Thanks alot for the video. Could I know what specs you used for cutting gopuram moulds. We have hard time figuring it out.
Great Job ............. and putting up the links for the materials really helps to see what you have used. I was looking to make something similar, but in a much, much simpler way. Not sure I will be able to replicate yours as I am a newbie to wood working starting with bigger things and nothing such intricate and also 'Zero' knowledge or experience with mouldings.
Good luck with your project. I was a newbie myself once. Dont get intimidated with the amount of work you have to do. Break it in to smaller chunks and you should be able to do it.
@@diy-doityourway3779 I finally made something in a slightly smaller scale and I painted it instead of staining. I can see quite a few flaws, but I now know my mistakes and will be able to correct them for future projects. Thanks for your detailed video which helped me in what I could get done. Not sure I can attach a picture here, but will send you one ........
Awesome....I am glad that you were able to complete the project. I would be glad to see the pictures. Please share them at diyaddict2016@gmail.com
@@diy-doityourway3779 : can you tell what is the inclination angle for second level of the gopuram. First level i cut 45 degree . Second level by base is 8inch on one side and 21.5 on another side. If i keep 45 degree as inclination angle it is coming like sharp triangle.
Great work, loved it!!! what is the angle
for the gopuram?
Very easy and useful video, can you please tell at what angle gopuram was cut?
Excellent project. Can you guide me on mitre and bevel measurements?
Beautiful
So beautiful. Could you tell us what all are the tools you used for this!
Thank you for your motivation and the video ofcourse my friend. We upscale on the dimensions a little bit and built one , 4 ft width, 5'6" height and 2 ft deep. Instead of stain, we primed the plywood and painted it
Hi..Great job and really inspired to start this home project. I have couple of questions , I see you used three different sizes of plywood, was there any specific reason ? Also for pocket joinery will simple tool will work or will need to have something you used in the video to make right pocket joints ?
If you have a drill you can pre drill the pocket hole it will work too but you want it something that look good and easy you should try to invest on kreg pocket hole jig work great
Great work sir....I been finding a good video like yours to start building one....could you tell me how many hrs it took you to build and what are the blindspots you encountered for an experienced DIYer like you
The important and time taking part of the build is gopuram. I would say to guy atleast 1/3rd extra material if you are doing this first time. The rest is very straight forward. Good luck
Hi Buddy.. Excellent work.. I am taking the steps to know how much wood and where to get it cut, such kind of things. Just want to know, the pillars you pointed are 29" and the back pannel you mentioned the size will be 36" x 28" so, is that a typo.
Please help bro.
Thank you for making this video. Could you please add all the tools you used? Specifically the one you are using to het holes on flat wood sheet?
How wide is the wood piece for Back Support the one you cut 2 Pieces of 36" and 2 Pieces of 28" Pieces?
Awesome work!! Where did you get the parts from, are they all available at Home Depot?
For any folks in UK, looking for the crown moulding, it is called Coving in UK.
Hello.. I am so impressed with your work. You work like a professional. I watched your video repeatedly as I want to make two level gopuram. It would be really helpful if you can help me with the measurements of for the moulding. I am using the existing cabinet and the gopuram base is 36"x20". Almost same size size as yours. I have learned that HomeDepot/Lowes can do the cutting for you. Do you think it will be a good idea? OR If i get the MiterBox, can i do it myself?
Thanks for the kind words. Measurements depend on multiple factors like if you are using any trim on top before the actual gopuram starts, if so width of the trim etc. For example if you use a 2inch trim around on top, the length would be 26 inches (30 -2 -2) and width will be 16 inches(20-2-2) for first level. Homedepot/Lowes does the cutting but they do only straight cuts and wont do cuts for a specific project. So I would recommend getting a cheap miter saw or a miter box and hand saw so you can make the cuts per your build.
@@diy-doityourway3779 Hi.. Happy New Year. I greatly appreciate your response. Thank you very much. I have got the miter box. I will try to cut it myself. One more question, if you don't mind. what should be the measurement of the supports that you put inside?
Do have any recommendation of screw size? Awesome temple.. we are planning to make. Thanku so much.!!
Hi i have a small dought in this whole process what you used is oak plywood?you mentioned 12 mm plywood that's for?
Great job! Thanks for the materials list. Can you also provide a tools list needed?
Thank You. The two important tools for this build would be a miter saw and an 18 gauge nail gun. The other tools would be drill, driver, clamps (recommended but optional). If you are in to DIY home projects I would highly recommend to own a miter saw and nail gun. Makes things so much easier.
Hi, can you please let me know the mitre saw settings for crown moulding? Amazing video and Mandir.
Thank You. I use the default inclination angle that comes with the crown molding (usually 45 degrees) and do a 45 degree miter cut just like in video. If this is the first time working with crown molding I would recommend using Crown Stoppers for miter saw.
Hey!! Great work.. What angle u have cut the top moulding?
in the base cabinet you made pocket holes on both sides but seems like you used only the bottom ones, not the top pocket holes ? At 1:34 sec I see that you are drilling and screwing vs using pocket holes ? Trying to determine if I need to make pocket holes on both sides ?
Super
Wow! Very nice. Some are dreamers and few are doers. Where did you get all the smaller decorative pieces? Did you make them as well?
Thank you. No the decorative pieces can be found in big box stores like homedepot, lowes etc.
Awesome work...one question is...if we want to make. Small wood cutter will work for this kind of project?
Yes absolutely. I just have the tools as I work on other home improvement projects aswell, but you can definitely build this with minimal tools. You can find a miter box in home stores for any 45 degree cuts or crown molding cuts.

Nice Job. Definitely, not a easy job, especially gopuram and storage drawer setup
@DIY, can you please suggest the angles for the Mitre saw if i keep the moulding flat for a 45 degree cut. i'm trying for a 2 step gopuram. pleas advise if there is any other easier way to get the 45 degree cut
I haven't tried that but there seems to be a good video about how to do it. Let me know if that helps
ruclips.net/video/PLaR5kGrbWA/видео.html
Hi, wonderful video. Thanks for posting.
what is the dimensions of drawer. and what length of slider used
Awesome, how much did it cost for all the products to build. Is this from Home Depot
HI DIY, These are some amazing videos. i've been trying to make a mandir for quite a while and this have given a true inspiration to start again. i was able to get the pieces cut @homedepot but my problem is with the Gopuram. i've tried the Miter Box and they are not connecting each other. when they lay them flat they are all connecting properly. but i'm unable to get the ange. can you please advise how to get the shape of the gopuram. i've failed with two 8 foot crown moulding and want to start again after following proper direction. i want to do a 2 level gopuram. thank you again in advance
When cutting the crown molding, make sure you place it at the same angle you intend to put on the gopuram and the. Do the 45 degree cut. It seems people have had issues with gopuram and crownmolding. I cant promise but I will try to make a video in a week or two on how to cut crownmoldong with miter box for gopuram.
@@diy-doityourway3779 , Thank you so much for the prompt reply and help. I really appreciate it and thank's again for the suggestion
Excellent work! Came out beautifully!
Do u mind sharing where to find the tombs (gopuram) pieces?
Thank you. Material list in the description should have all the details. You can find them at lowes/Homedept
Awesome Job! thanks for sharing. I would like to know the size of lower storage box, and then you had one more section just above the lower box, what is the size of that? Could you please share the measurement of each section, as well as the material?
Thank you. The link to material list is in the description. Size of the drawer box and harathi tray is 14 inch depth and length is 33.5 inch (Total length 36 inch - 1.5 inch - 1 inch)
1.5 inch is because of the two 3/4 inch plywood on the side and 1 inch is the total width of two drawer slides (1/2 + 1/2)
Hope this make sense
Wonderful Job! I
Would you mind also sharing the height of the storage drawer?
Looks great but i see you have joined all boards with screws. Do you think this will stand if i just with do with wood glue with absolutely no nails/screws?
I would not recommend that as the pins are used to hold the trims together while the glue sets. If you do not use pin, then the trims will be left with a gap between them.
Hey, great work here. What is the moulding name you’ve used here for the gopuram?
Thank You. Here is the molding that I used for gopuram. You can find this in any big box stores (Homedeopot, menards..). Also list of all materials is updated in the description.

With great hope I started watching this video and sadly discovered that like most of the RUclips DIYs this DIY is also for the professional carpenters who has all the tools a home.
I tend to disagree with you sir. People have sent me pictures of their projects using minimal tools and they have turned out great.
@@diy-doityourway3779 may be they do but I don't follow them or watch their video I watch your videos. So if you can show us some project with very minimum tools then we can be really inspired to do.
Beautiful temple! Can you tell me what that small look like railing calls which you installed it on sides of the temple? I don’t see on your spreadsheet and also not able to find on website. Is it from Home Depot or Lowe’s too? Thanks in advance!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks. I got it from HomeDepot and the link is in the material list. But looks like it is not available at homedepot anymore. I looked for it online and you can get one from here

@@diy-doityourway3779 thank you so much! 😊
Nicely done, this is the best DIY I have seen so far.
Few Quick Questions:
1. What nail size did you use?
2. What type of nailer have you used for this project?
3. What glue did you use for this project?
Thank You.. I used 3/4 inch, 1 inch and 2 inch 18 guage brad nails based on trims i am using them on. I used Ryobi 18 guage cordless brad nailer. Titebond 3 or any wood glue will work.
@@diy-doityourway3779 And what about the screws?
away screws should be good. I used 2 inch drywall screws.
Hello Sir, do you have any drawing with measurements? I am planning to build one..!!
Can you please share the link of items to buy and where you bought them
You did a great job. You inspired me to do one for us.
Did you learn doing this ( using of tools, cutting etc.., ) on your own or did you take any kind of training ? Please let me know. Thanks
Thanks for the nice words. I had zero experience in wood working until 3 years ago. I started watching RUclips diy videos and read articles on woodworking. I did it on my own no training. You get things wrong first but then, you learn from your mistakes :)
@@diy-doityourway3779 Thank you for replying
Hello,
Very nice video and thank you for providing the list of materials as well along with cost, very helpful. I could not find the table end legs you used for gopuram, could pls share the link if you have it. Also the little fence molding(sorry I don’t know the name) you used for the sides and front, can you pls share the name and link for it if you have.
Thank you. Those are called corbels. You can find them in Amazon or at wayfair
www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/ekena-millwork-rockport-corbel-frmv1497.html
This is great but kinda too much & difficult to make. Also I wonder where did you get the round poles?
Great work. Could you please share all the material required. I am inspired by you. I want to Pooja mandir for our home too.
Thank You. All materials and link are in the Google doc mentioned in video description. Good luck with your project.
Good morning sir, First of all thank you for inspiring me and my friend to do this DYI. I have built the exact same model and dimensions that you have mentioned in this video and I am struggling with the top crown molding cuts. the top 3/4" plywood board is 36X16, and like you mentioned I have used 3 inch beaded casing moulding on the borders. That left 10X30 in the middle. I have cut 1st layer of 4 inch crown modling that you used @45 degree angles. For the second layer of the same 4inch crow molding I am not able to fit in with in the space. if it is not too much burden can you please share the crown molding cuts and specs (length, angle etc) for the top gopuram. Also can I email pictures/call you for 3-4 min to get the guidance and insight?
Hello sir. I get what you are saying. If I understand correctly you were able to cut the first tier of the crown molding and you do not have enough space for the top most. I ran in to the same issue when I built my first one. The way I mitigated is increase the inclination angle on the crown molding. When cutting the crown molding bring the bottom of crown molding closer to miter fence which will increase the inclination angle. Follow the same inclination for both top and lower crown molding and you should have enough space on top.
You can email me directly at diyaddict2016@gmail.com with pics and any questions
@@diy-doityourway3779 - "When cutting the crown molding bring the bottom of crown molding closer to miter fence which will increase the inclination angle" - does this mean that you still keep 45 degree cut on miter, however reduce the angle of inclination of crowmolding to the miter wall?
Yes that is right. You still do the 45 miter cut but bring the base of crown molding closer to the miter fence so when Installed the gopuram is more steeper. Hope this make sense. If not email me and I can help you over there. And good luck with the project.
@@diy-doityourway3779 , I'm going to start my project too and you have inspired me a lot. I need your help in building the Gopuram. Can you please email me your number at anjum69@yahoo.com. I really appreciate your help.
@@diy-doityourway3779 , Thanks for explaining , I have one more doubt, Is this only 45 deg cut or its a compound cut too? I mean was your cutting blade had any angle ?
For crown building what angle do we need to cut? I tried with 45 and 22.5 angles no luck th crown not fitting clean. Seeing some gaps
ruclips.net/video/2vesc4iVwpY/видео.html this video helped to build crown
Wonderful video!!! Can you make a gopuran a sent it to Australia? 🙈
Thank you. I wish I could :)
Hi Sir, Need small suggestion. Started this project by inspiring from your video. Now I am making gopuram. How can we make crown molding using circular saw? I cut molding @45 degrees as bevel. However, i am not able to join two sides as they are going apart when i place them at an inclination.
Srinivas, sorry for the delayed response....uaing circular saw for miter cuts of crownmolding is rather difficult and i would not suggest.. crown moulding should be placed at an angle to make the cut..i would recommend a moter saw or a miter box for this.
Simply superb, kudos for ur efforts.. do u have the list of materials(their measurements) and tools used?
Thanks for the nice words. I will work on the materials and tools list and share it in the description over the weekend.
List of materials updated in the description. The measurements depends on the space and size of the Mandir.
The one in the video is 36 inches wide, 16 inch deep and 58 inches in height in total.
The lower storage part is 36" W X 16" D X 14" H, legs are around 3" height, Middle portion is 36" W X 16" D X 30" H.
Gopuram is around 11 to 12 inches in height
DIY - Do It Yourway thank you!!
@@diy-doityourway3779 sir in the video 0:15 the bottom chest is 36'' W * 16'' D * 12'' H. But you said "lower storage part is 36" W X 16" D X 14" H". I am little confused. Could you please clarify. BTW thanks for the great video. With your inspiration i am gonna try this.
Hi..I have been confused ..how go to about decoding the gopuram dimension...I have top of 27 1/2 inch by 22 1/2 and really scratching my head for what dimensions to have for two layered Gopuram base...please advise..TIA
Frankly it is very difficult to come up with the measurements. I usually look at available space on top and the trim I use and do the math. What i did is cut small pieces of the trim and then arrange them with out glue and do the necessary adjustments. This might result in wastage but will accomplish the work needed.
Hi.. When you screwed the top plate of bottom chest, you didn't seem to use the pot holes for the joint right? Can you tell me what kinda screws did you use there and if pre-drilling is necessary?
I use the deck screws or drywall screws. I would highly recommend pre drilling for every screw as it reduces the chipout.
Hi! Came across your videos recently while looking for pooja mandir.Do you do mandir on order?
Very nice wann to try but i dont have rhis big wood cutters, i never did anything, like this, do u have idea for small cutters? Wann try, and also wann ask how much u spent for this temple?
Thanks. You can use hand saw and a miter box for trims and 44 degree cuts. And for plywood home depot or lowes can cut the plywood to desired dimensions. So you can definitely get this done with minimal tools but would take time and a bit of more effort. The list of materials and cost is linked in the video description.
Price Please Total Cost home delivery from Kerala.Gopuram madier.
Very beautiful. what are measurements of the mandir in height , width and depth?
Thank you.. Height is around 5ft width 36 inch and depth depends on the requirements 16 to 18 inches
Thanks for your Mandir VDO.I really like and i learn lot from your VDO. I am trying to make one small temple but i don't have all kind of tools but i am trying to use hand tools. I want to know where can i buy wooden ornaments. i am in milwaukes WI
Than You. All the list for material is in the description.
Hi! Can you share the dimensions used for the gopuram?
The video is great and inspiring, can you tell me the difficulty level of this one? And do you have step by step instructions to along with the video somewhere? The video is a bit fast.
Thank You. I would say this is a medium level DIY. I will try to do a better video for my next project. Thanks for the feedback :)
Awesome job
Need some details about brad nailer and nails used
Is this Ryobi Brad nailer
Thanks. Yes this is a 18 guage ryobi cordless brad nailer. I used different length of 18 guage nails from 3/4 inch to 1.5 inch
Are you using a Braid Nailer or Narrow Crown Stapler?
Hi, Nice video and awesome job! Not able to access google docs for the materials, could you please share link.
Hi Sir,
The video looks Great!!! I have zero experience with tools. Please can you share a spread sheet of all the tools which you used in the video and do suggest if I need to get anything extra since I am a beginner.
I had the same question.. Waiting for the reply!
