This project proves that the best laid plans don't always guarantee success. I did a lot of planning before I started, but still managed to waste half a sheet of fairly expensive plywood.
Some of that goes back to when I was first thinking about doing this ceiling and at that time I thought I would use painted MDF instead of plywood. The painted MDF panels could be used with either side facing down and I wouldn't have to worry about orientation. Or at least that's the excuse I'm going with.
Fact is it was a simple (but costly) mistake and it's a rare project that doesn't have at least one.
Turning to the positive, I love this ceiling and think it was well worth the time and effort. And while the mistake I made did increase the cost, I think it was insignificant when I look at the finished results.
I'm able to picture things in my mind's eye before I start, and usually the end result is almost as good, but this time it was better. Better after I changed the centre panel, that is.
The slots I cut in that panel and making it a tray with sides to give it extra dimension really completed the look.
The plywood I used is 1/2" maple veneer. The individual parts weight very little and are solidly glued to the mounting blocks, which are also solidly glued and screwed to the ceiling.
The finish is two coats of semi-gloss water based urethane sprayed on, lightly sanded after the first coat dried. This produces a very smooth durable finish.
The lighting is just two LED shop lights mounted back to back to cast the light sideways across the ceiling.
Another project that I did in this staircase are the shelves I made for my movie collection:

The room is a sanctuary away from the rest of the world with no internet access. No phones either.

The first casualty of any engagement - is the plan. 😂. Given how skilled a craftsman you are… I’m sure you know the trick of painter’s tape and CA glue in place of double faced tape - so I won’t get into that. Ha ha on the neighbor joke.😊. I bet your arms were tired after that project. The rectangular slots in the centerpiece made all the difference in the world. That really really turned out to be excellent. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy holidays. Best to you and yours.
John's house is going to become one of those blue plaque historic landmark places, celebrated for its design and craftsmanship.
Or next owner straight up demolishing
Definitely.
Though that does depend on who will live in that neighborhood / town, sorry to spoil the party.
The fella has got to be realistic; you can't really expect from the crowd that's pulling down Washinton statues to cherish pretty things.
@@thunderstruck1078 even worse (he lives in Canada)
@@jonahhekmatyar Yeah, I'm glad someone gets it.
Love this John. Can't imagine how many hours this took but it was well worth it. Stunning
Thanks Keith :)
Very cool project and amazing result. Your neighbor must really like you. 😃
Glad no neighbors were sacrificed in making this production. Great work😊
John, you're definition of deceptively simple is most people's idea of simply terrifying! Great job mate!
Hello John, you make me feel much better about my mistakes, now I laugh instead of cussing when the inevitable happens. I use these mistakes to remind myself I'm nowhere near as clever as I thought I was. Nice ceiling project too, lots of thought and work there, to great effect.
"Deceptively easy job" famous last words, However, the final piece was the superb culmination of the struggle. A great feature, John, that i'd be proud of. I really must get up there and scrape the blanket of dust off my cliche lampshades!
This has got to be the coolest ceiling treatment I've ever seen!
Spectacular John. I always expect something good but this was beyond that. Great work John.
This is one of those one-of-a-kind custom jobs that ends up far greater than the sum of its parts. Amazing job John!
That's really fantastic John. A great idea and we'll executed in the end. Love the slots you added to the centre piece and don't worry about all the changes. We all make mistakes and it's not unexpected when you are making a one off unique feature project like this. Thanks for sharing all the do overs. Makes us all feel more human.
your sunburst is most defiantly a work of art.
Wow! I love this project, John! Using the entire ceiling as a light fixture is brilliant. The results are really stunning.
Looks great. I am glad I am not the only one that makes those types of mistakes :)
My wife and me where watching this in awe! I admire your dedication! Your house is slowly turning into a beautiful museum full of unique woodwork!
Wow, this looks extraordinarly!
GREAT project John. All those "modifications" were worth every second! !! !!!
Eye popping design and really draws one’s eye.
Looks incredible!
I think I might have spent more than a few minutes laying on my back on that scaffold staring at the ceiling... great problem solving, John, and also well explained!
The camera ran for as long as it took me to get back up, which seemed to be almost impossible.
looks amazing. I hope you went ahead and put a new light bulb in it while you were up there. If it were my luck it would burn out a month after finishing the project
That is cool af. Adding that box with the slots really made a difference.
I want to do something like your office ceiling on half of my kitchen.
Great job!!!
I don’t think any craftsman ever started a project with a plan and finished it without making any changes.thats what makes it an Art form
What a continue pleaser
seeing your leave of artistry and skill.
Thanks for your post.
Brilliant!
(Especially impressed by the scaffold installation - it it were me, I would realise immediately after finishing, that one of the tools I need for the job is now trapped on the other side...)
A Frank Lloyd Wright feature. Very cool!
No way! acoustics panels and high CRI bulbs with top-hats as lamp shades. My ceiling is amazing!
Great video.
*Best* stairway lighting *EVER*
I love the look, thanks for sharing your mistakes because even pros make them so it doesn't make me feel bad when I mess something up in a project.
One of my favorite parts of a project is finding out that your carefully made plans didn't account for something and having to come up with a solution on the fly (When the solution I come up with works out anyways). Really tests your problem solving skills and is super satisfying when it works.
'"This bothered me so I... " 😃 Looks absolutely fabulous!
Great job John! When things like that happen I always remember my dad saying these are not always mistakes these are learning points in a craftsman’s life. A great craftsman can take a mess and make it awesome good job buddy keep it up
Turned out great. So many places to make mistakes, this would be a daunting project.
Wow! That looks incredible!
That's a very pleasing design, worth the effort.
Stunning. Reminds me of Atlantis.
A very interesting project with a fantastic result! Honestly, the fact that you show your mistakes and how you deal with them really deserves recognition. Many creators edit their films in such a way that you think everything goes easily and without errors, where the reality is often different. I am a beginner carpenter and despite the fact that I enjoy working with wood and plywood, many times I had a moment of discouragement and doubts about my abilities. I was very influenced by the "perfect and easy" movies on YT, where I compared myself to the creators and thought that I was bad or I lacked skills or worse, I needed some great and often expensive tool. Thanks to your videos, I found out that even the best craftsmen need some time to create a design and that they make mistakes. The trick is to admit it, show it, and tell you how to get out of trouble while still having a fantastic end result.
That is a great look. Working with light is quite often a trial and error thing.
Very unusual and amazing ceiling. Love it!!
Looks awesome! Very cool way to dazzle up a plain space.
That looks fracking awesome John!
Very nice, it goes well with your "tree" window art.
Wow John..Almost upside down with popcorn potentially landing in both eyes.. You should do the same thing under your car too. Looks pretty darn slick though.
That was really cool !! Great job !
Nice work John. Thanks for filming the whole process!
Gorgeous!!! The most unique ceiling lighting I've ever seen. Great job!
This is a creative build. I like how you plan, build, evaluate, adjust and build again.
That looks great, worth the effort!
Beautiful John! Really enjoy watching you create new pieces for your home. Your videos are always entertaining and educational. Great all around, always looking forward to your next video. I do re-watch many of your videos, always helpful! Thank you for sharing!!
That turned out pretty awesome John.
great work and design! I love it! ❤
Hitting the flo state 🙏 well done sir
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
Absolutely gorgeous! And love following your thought processes. thank you.
Very original, yet again.
Love your taste. Everything you design has that mysterious quality that it looks both, simple and complex at the same time.
This is wonderful! I do not envy you the time you spent working above your head, that's hard. My wife just walked past, spotted the ceiling, and is very impressed. I'm confident that she knows me well enough not to suggest something similar here.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
3:36 after thanksgiving I think im well rounded enough
Nice job John. Thanks for sharing.
Wow looks amazingly beautiful
It really does look cool. Very unique!
Thanks for the video!
Thanks :)
I absolutely love this project!
Awesome John! That really looks good!
Great visualisation turned into reality!
John, this looks really great! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm planning something similar, but with curves that mirror the shape of our fireplace. Now I have a good idea of how to build that. I won't use plywood but a very lighweight but sturdy sheet material, that is normally used to build the interior of caravans and mobile homes. Slightly more expensive but perhaps an alternative for someone who can't or doesn't want to put too much additional weight under the ceiling.
Thanks again, I love the design!

Just curious, what is that material you're considering? Thanks
@@rdy4trvl Hey Doug! The material that I want to use is called Garnica Ultralight. Not sure if it is available in the U.S. but I'm pretty sure that there is something similar around. It is a sandwich of two layers of polpar wood with XPS (extruded polystyrol foam) in between. The material is certified safe for interior use and has Emission Class E1 (good for living room/bedroom). The weight is only 11kg (24lbs) for a 12mm (1/2") panel of 2.5 x 1.2 m (approx. 7.5 x 3.7 ft) which results in a weight of less than a pound per square foot (if my imperial calc is correct 😵💫) I guess it is not brand new, professionals could buy it wholesale most likely, but it was introduced only recently to our German DiY version of Home-Depot, a company called Bauhaus. Here is the link:
www.bauhaus.info/sperrholzplatten/garnica-ultralight-leichtbauplatte-fixmass/p/27695131#product-data
Perhaps a Google translate helps you with that.
As said before, I am pretty sure, there are similar panels around in the U.S.
I hope this helps!
Best Regards
Andreas
Well done, John. I like your perseverence!
That is so dope!! Nothing wrong with changing things on the fly to make it what you want vice living with something that doesn’t feel right/complete, that feeling will make you hate the project, I know it all too well lol. Keep up the great videos and projects!!
Turned out awesome! Thanks!
Wow! Just brilliant.
Wow... very unique and super creative
That turned out bad ass looking!
Awesome John!
Superb, very effective ... I loved seeing you work through each of the issues you came across, modifying the original idea as and when required 👍
Only thing I'd have suggested doing was to mount the lights to the centre panel, with this being hinged at one end and a lock at the other ... to make changing the lights easier (no scaffolding required each time).
That looks gorgeous
9:54 that’s exactly the question I wanted to ask! So choosing glue over construction adhesive is only time constraint. Interesting.
I think that's truly stunning! Well done!
Really neat and turned out amazing!
Beautiful ❤️, John!!!!
Super beau ! J’adore ! Bravo à vous
Incredible creativity.
that turned out really well. I'll borrow your idea again in my upcoming house
I'm all about unique lighting projects. Anything to get away from a barren light bulb or the dreaded glass b00b globe.
This gave me an idea but for Christmas decorating on my ceiling. I’m coming back to this video when I want to make a version of this for my own space. I can find inspiration for odd uses and I love this video and idea :)
Turned out great!
Gorgeous!
Nice job on the panel ceiling John! Thanks for always sharing with us! Merry Christmas! to you and the family🎄🎁✝😎JP
Nice job John,I like the effect.👍👍👍
That project looks great. Really good job.
A beautiful ceiling!!
Looks Great John!
Great job it looks fantastic
Beautiful!
Great design John, love the final result 👌
FANTASTIC!!!!
Awesome Look !!!!
That's awesome!
Super nice. I just would suggest painting top of plywood panels white also, to reflect and diffuse more light there.
Looks awesome
Well done! Beautiful
Wow looks great
