Ben, if we don't see you, you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I remember doing these when I was a framer. The radius of the arches was always wider than the opening for a flattened arch look. Royal PITA.

You made that look so insanely easy. I have a poorly made arch in my house I’ve been wanting to replace but have been dreading. Can’t wait for the one in this series so I can tackle my arch. Thanks Ben!

keep up the amazing work Ben you always do such an amazing job on your repairs and on your videos.

I've secretly wanted to do one of these for a long time (despite that I have no need to do so). I'm excited to see how it flushes out in the mudding phase.

Well I actually have 4 of these to do in a new build…so this was a great refresher on how to do them. I don’t think I’ve done one since 03! Nice work, Ben. Merry Christmas

Excellent video and content! Thanks for a quality video and channel.

This is by far the best ive seen and ive done these.this is FANTASTIC 😂❤I FEEL DUMB NOW.

4:42 This gives me very specific flashbacks of those times when the bit slips and you nail the webbing between your thumb and forefinger. Good times.

Great tips and skill, thanks Ben

Another great video, Stud!

Whats up from Madison Indiana love watching keep up the great work!!!

Ben. You're the best, bud.

Awesome! can't wait for the boarding part

Nicely done. Can't wait to see the drywall with 1/4 inch drywall to make the round smooth look.

I always wondered how that was done. Now I know enough to pull it off when time comes

this is one of my favorite channels and it always shows up on my recommended feed. Finally subscribed!

You are absolutely right about the "next guys" coming in and ruining your perfect work. That is why we should just do it all ourselves! Saves money also.

such a clever thank you.

Ooh. I want to put in some Tudor arches in a formal room... This is useful.

I always thought you as being pretty strait …. Who knew? Lol. Good video Ben!

As a resident of the southwest. Arch walkways are our bread and butter. It is time consuming. But the look is priceless. Keep the videos coming ,Ben. Merry Christmas 🎄

How much do you charge per arch (same dimensions as video) in your area?

I did the same thing with 1/2” plywood but put it over the studs just like drywall and butted the 1/2” drywall to the plywood then used duro bond 90 to float over the plywood when done you couldn’t tell the difference I’ve done this several times it’s been years and has held up perfectly

Definitely useful

Awesome sauce!

I didn't realize you sped up the footage of you cutting the arch for a second and was like "damn that's gotta be the best jigsaw ever"

How you did the template was AWESOME! Thanks

Love your videos and your sarcastic humor. Hey, do you have any videos for a no fail, diy wall texture video? Thanks for the help skim coating over horrible 50 yr old texture (s). I am finding the sponge method works after many failures. I know you are a professional and advising us diy'ers. Thanks 😊

EVERYONE makes mistakes. The good crafts-person knows how to correct it or make it look like it never happened.

Woulda been cooler if you did a hyperbolic cosine (caternary) curve for the arch.

I'm doing this with a 6 foot doorway in my house. Wish me luck 🤣

I'm so confused?? Where's the mud? Where's the 6? What did you do to Vancouver Drywaller?!?

No drywall?! What a change of pace

The doorway in this case was tall enough that a half-circle works very well. If the height was lower, a smaller part of a circle could be used. To set the arc, use a second piece of wood to extend the center of your compass somewhat below the end of the plywood. Then use a longer radius than half the diameter. (This is easier to do than to describe.) The result should be a shallower arch.

@Vancouver Carpenter safety glasses here AND a dust mask in the next video, not a T-shirt!? Really glad to see it. Your livelihood and mine both depend on being injury-free.

👍👍

Wait... what? The drywalliest carpenter is doing... carpentery things!? Ohhh my head is spinning and I can't see straight! Also, if REALLY worried about getting things lined up straight, using a router with a flush trim bit around the template is more accurate than a jigsaw :)

I got excited when he said "now we're going to screw this up here"! I am very good at screwing things up... though unfortunately not in the way he does it😂

Actually in O'Hare flying to Vancouver right now!!! Ski trip)))

that old school video you posted a while back showed a guy making a plaster by hand with that weird hammer

Hey Ben where's the Jack stud for the header jk nice video

I want the boarding!

Great video, but why wouldn't you cut the plywood pieces sandwiched together? Keep up the great work, and Merry Christmas!

The jigsaw blade can wander out of plumb quite a bit while cutting. Probably would have been fine though if I had cut them both at the same time.

Isn't that a protractor you used for drawing the arch ?

The magic is found,... when you fix a real wall..... :>

First carpentry video I have seen from Vancouver Carpenter lol

Cool, rip a 2x4 to a 2x3. Could of bought just a 2x3. But the that's amazing job

What if you were doing a arch 8ft long and center is 5in

@vancouvercarpenter

Жыл бұрын

5” centres would be great. Lots to fasten to and keep a consistent curve

Geometry class does pay off.

any excuse to build a half pipe huh.

I have to do 6 sets. 😂 replying to “I don’t know why you would need more than 1…”

I personally think an Ellipse looks way better in that situation.

Forgot the disclaimer: Great video, love your content :)

Why you doing this the hardest way possible? 2 x knee braces @ 45deg at top, cut strip of sheetrock width if wall about 1200, bend in nail on and done

No boarding?? You mean I gotta wait for the next video? Ok then. 😉

That was hardly drywally at all, am I watching the right channel?

All those English measurements. No metric here (again). 4:14 "And now we're going to screw it up here." But you seem so confident this time!

Removing an arch was on my list of projects for you but you quickly deleted that video. I do have one cool project idea that I think you might find interesting.

🙏👏👍💪

I find it easer just to order pre-fab adjustable metal arches for ~$50. Saves tons of time. Easy arch makes them.

I cringed very hard at the way you cut/ caught that board at 2:42. Yikes, next time finish the cut from the other side so you can catch the drop safely! Or just let it fall altogether. Be safe dude!

Wow, I've never been so early!
