I Made Fake Beams in Our Bedroom

Wicked Video!! How much would a project like this cost roughly? :)

Doesn’t he own a table saw? Couldn’t he just mitered those faux beams?

And even if no, why not lose 1” on the beam width , so you can put the glue edge on the sides of the beams? It looks so bad… not even wood putty, just a unglued spit

I did the same only with rough cut lumber and dark brown stain - and stained before install, lol 😏

Looks great!

Cheesy vacuum hope their paying you

I'm curious why you didn't sand and stain before installing?

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.

Why couldn’t you take one 2x6 board and screw it flat all the way down the beam to make it that much thicker? It would have solved your problem and wouldn’t have been but $20-25 more.

Nice job. You sure have a lot more energy than I have.

You have almost a million subscribers and didn’t even miter the joints…….bro?

Hah what was up with that can light?!?! So annoying. Great work as always.

Dude slooooow down. Can barely understand your Speed talk 😮

I absolutely love the process, the mistakes, the learning he is going through also. I am now a fan.

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 ?

That looked difficult

Its all a learning curve and you finished 10 out of 10 for me, Well done buddy. Stay Safe.

You could have also ripped an inch off of each side of the beam...

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.

Do woodworkers make good money?

Never do butt joints on faux beams. Very homeowner special. Take a few extra minutes to 45° the joints.

Watching all your videos makes me want to reno mine home. Dont think the hubby will be too happy. 😂😂😂

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.

Did you just use common board for the beams?

Who’s your wood guy? That’s some good prices

The ridge beam should be about three times taller than the rafter beams to make it look authentic... 🤓👌

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.

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?

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.

Came out nice man! Caps look really good actually

Amazing job. That was quite the project! I love how u show what goes wrong so people know the reality of the project.

That bed is sick. Where can i purchase one?

Hoover couldn't pickup the binkine

You should use plastic to cover your bed !

Screw the haters and negative comments. Keeping it real and looks amazing!

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

How much was the new ceiling fan?

Definitely need to look at the flickery light and get it taken care of

Thank you for keeping it real. God bless great work!

Whatever you do, don't step back to admire your work. I did that once. Won't do it again,

this guy is too STRONG! he can put the 2x6 by itself wow!

Awesome project 🤘 tough one man job...

The “fix” looks great! Thank you for showing us the reality of of this project… including the mistakes…which are really just learning!

Where’s a friend when you need one , right?
Another set of hands would help a lot

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.

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.

🤩 amazing ❤️❤️❤️

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!

My own question as I’m about to build cross beams on a vaulted ceiling as well, do you wish you would have made the end that touched the wall run flush with the wall?
