It won’t be long before this guy has a brad nail sticking through his thumb with that technique

oli bone meh. You’re not a real finish carpenter if you have been stung by a brad nail.😂

Thanks for solving my kitchen ceiling issue. Much easier and less costly time wise than full covered ceiling.

Great inspiration and easy to follow instructions. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice. Just what I was looking for.

This confirmed that I will not be attempting this myself. Thanks!

Beautiful

looks good i prefer to have thicker beams to bring out the design more

You make it look easy

Thanks, T.O.H.! Great vid with clear and easy to understand steps. One recommendation, if I may. About the 3:45 mark or so, where you're toenailing the cross pieces into the main beams, it is NEVER a good idea to have your thumb (or any finger) anywhere close to the nail path of that air nailer. You WILL "eventually" find a board whose grain causes the nail to deflect outward instead of along the intended straight path into the 'meat' of the wood. Having your finger in that path results in your finger 'meat' having a very painful 'meeting' of its own with that nail! Friendly tip from one who has had a 'meeting' or two with a air-driven finish nail.

The look of FEAR in his face when the nailer shoots........

We have popcorn ceiling ... I would love to do something like this to cover it up. Wouldn't screw hold better than nails?

This is a great solution for those who would like a coffered ceiling but don't have high ceilings to go the traditional full beam coffered ceiling style. I think I may do this in my living room to give it a bit more elegance. As soon as I pull all the faux wood paneling off the walls and replace it with drywall :( That wood paneling is kind of taking away from the elegance factor!

My father left the paneling up, filled and smoothed the recesses with joint compound, sanded, and painted. You will need to a tape and compound the dry wall joints anyway. Plus even with the paneling off well you could use the really really thin dry wall I guess. This was much easier for him to do it looked amazing and we didn't lose any Room so to speak because the paneling is much thinner than Half inch dry wall. Good luck. It was definitely the better way to go for our family

@@overcomer4226 I just did as adviced and the result was amazing! 😄👍 I added a bit of texture then knocked it down. It saved me a ton of money and time. The only issue is I forgot to tape where the panels meet. You think I'll get cracking overtime?

No mention of coping the ends of the inside molding pieces to get a tight fit? I would assume that they go up just like really small crown molding...

Hi! Can this be installed if you have already have crown moulding?

I'm i just being stupid i can't see how the marking of the scribe line at 2:00 mins would work.. one of the pencil marks was made on the piece already nailed to the ceiling.

🤣 my thoughts exactly- even when not using the nail gun, one would think he’d have safety glasses on because there’s always bits of debris falling away from above as you are craning your neck to look above yourself

Nice video. I love your channel. But I have 1 remark. The safety glasses shouldn't be on the pocket :)

How to make the “dead man”: 1:05 2 by 3 scrap lumber and make it ¾ inch shorter than the ceiling.

I can't watch this without my safety glasses

On the shorter cross members where there are no ceiling joists for nailing... we have used contact cement with success. It takes a bit longer, but it makes a very secure bond to the ceiling. Just be sure you get EXACT placement right the first time... there is no adjusting once the two cement surfaces contact.

Borat Yeah... it does matter. The joists run one way so you can nail into the main runners or cross members... not both. LOL... buy a book on basic construction... and a can of contact cement.

Porsche924Tim​​ cross runners in between joists? Uhm no such thing. Your either nailing along a joist or every 12 inches (joist to joist) if there ain't a joist beside the top plate of the wall then you can nail cross members yourself. But houses aren't framed with cross members. You may read books about construction but I work construction as an electrician so your all talk. Lol I love how you use contact cement to glue 2 pieces of wood together I actually laughed at the fact you sounded so smart by saying how you used contact cement. Too funny 

@TNtoolman

Borat We use contact cement to glue the trim cross-members to the ceiling surface, not to the main runners, rookie. I've been doing trim work for 50 years and don't need an electrician with no structural construction experience to give carpentry advice. Especially from someone who does not know that joists are 16" apart, not 12". Please stay in your area of experience... It is NOT carpentry...

Some people with concrete ceiling will install a false ceiling of plywood or drywall and mount it. Then im sure you can do aomething like this a lot easier then drilling through concrete for every board

Not trying to sound like a troll, but This Old House has not aged well (pun intended). Both the TV show, and most of their videos are not well done. There are so many other content providers on KZread that offer amazing work, especially on this topic (finish carpentry), such as Finish Carpentry TV, Home RenoVision DIY, Jared Turner, Fix This Build That, and many more. These videos are all the same: too fast, little to no valuable detail, and often outdated methods. My reaction after watching This Old House is almost always the same: meh... A five minute video on coffered ceilings? Come on This Old House, you can do better.

It's very distracting trying to listen to you as the annoying music is playing while you're talking....

I cannot believe this is the example they use for this type of ceiling. Wow looks terrible

wurly164 Wood glue does not stick to primed surfaces, wood glue adheres wood to wood, nothing else. A simple google search can tell you that much. Also brad nails have no head so they can pull out easily that’s why they are almost never used alone. As for the caulk it depends on the type, it is a decorative trim so it should stay. But this video give the wrong message of function for these important woodworking tools.

wurly164 “it is a decorative trim so it should stay.

The point is that it’s an instructional video that instructs you to improperly use those materials.

@@Saltytrout18 being a woodworker myself I understand but just being trim it would be ok, if it was structured then you want bare wood on wood, but in this case I give it a pass, the caulk alone will guarantee its going no where

A low profiled design like that is actually a paneled ceiling, not a coffered ceiling. The title line is misleading.

Please, know that we do not need the music playing so loud over your voice. We have our own choice of music playing while watching your videos if we want. Music is too much of a distraction. Your instrustions are perfect for us to star our project. Thank you! 😄

They’d be a nice 60’s ranch, one owner before some diy flipper for their hands on it and with a bucket of paint and other assorted Home Depot weapons, completely destroy the space. I saw beautiful original wood clapboards painted, stone fireplaces, hard wood floors, wood beams, etc... And GREY - everrrrrywhere. I just started referring to them as “greyed out.”
