What white oak boards do you use?
So Sad I barely see this anymore. Keep it up my man. We are the last of an apparently dying breed. I'd love to meet more folks who take so much pride in their work nowadays...
I work in Orlando. I'm working in a high value area, yet it's hard to see this type of finish carpentry. Its astonishing really...
What glue are you using mate? I have to do something similar next week but with white oak plywood. 🙂
Incredible! So, I've never used a track saw... How does the track not slide from side to side when you're making your 45.5 degree bevel cut along the edge of the board? I noticed there's no clamping or fastening the track to the board and it seems to just be laying on the board... oscillation and sliding of the track aren't an issue so you can get a nice consistent cut right along your chalk line? I definitely need a track saw... Can a typical skill saw be used as a track saw or do you have to buy a track saw that goes with a particular track?
@@garethheathcote4988 He's using Tight Bond 3 (the green label). It's the strongest of the 3 wood glues that Tight Bond makes and it's thinner and you have more time to work with it before it sets up than the other 2 Tight Bond wood glues. Also, because it's not as thick as the other two, it doesn't spew out of the mitered edges onto the work surface as much. And it holds extremely well once it sets up (after maybe 10 or 15 minutes).
You’re a f***ing G
I had to watch all your ceiling beams videos 10x each. I dedicated one month to buy the same gear and perfect them. I’m now making a living here in a new town I moved to because of you 🙏 god bless you
Where artistry meets craftsmanship. Blown away!
So nice to see a finish carpenter who knows how to set up, think through, and execute! I've been doing this for a long time, and I'm learning lots watching you!
I laughed, and laughed at 19:00 dropping the glue "right where you can step on it" - Why do we do it? Every time!
Good Ole Murphy's Law!
I just avoid that step and wipe the glue on the sole of my show to start with. With caulking I just squirt a couple dabs on my pants to start with.
I just thought the very same thing as you said! 😂😂😂
Great production.. very clear explanations, no gaps in steps you take, and there’s never any “extra” and fluff dragging the video out with useless information. Very much appreciated sir. Like watching Larry Haun.
Love how efficient you are with things, I want to work alone, all the time. You constantly show me things that make it possible for me to do it alone. Thanks!
Not only do you teach great techniques for making perfect mitered corners, but you also show subtle work/life balance tips with your golf glove tan line! Hope you hit it as straight as your mitered edges!
I just did my first folded miter using your techniques from this and your other videos and I'm blown away with how well it turned out compared to my previous attempts. The 45.5 degree angle and the burnishing are pure gold! Thanks for sharing your craft with us Spencer.
Fantastic!
Spencer as far tape miter folding there are two different types of clear plastic tape. One stretches (white label on inside of roll) and the other does not stretch (yellow label on inside of roll), use the not stretch
where did he mention a 45.5 degree angle? i must have missed that. He didn't use a 45 degree angle on this?
I randomly came to your video.... I am so impressed with your technical skills, absolutely stunning work!
The mill in my area will run a "lock-mitre" profile for you. They snap together.
I love watching someone who can best me in construction work. It's the only way to learn. Maybe one day I'll have your level of skill. Those perfect track saw cuts are so much more difficult than the video makes them look. Your skills are off the chart.
Dude, every single one of your videos is a master class on the topic at hand. I appreciate that you show what to do, what to avoid, and how to fix the unavoidable. Thank you so much.
18:49 Advice from a true pro! ;-)
When I walked through that house I was amazed by your incredible work. I’m not impressed by anyone typically! You’re awesome!
I didn't know it all, but did know about the glue on your shoe!!
I'm a framer that does finish on my own home. Most of my finish techniques were self taught. It's great to be able to pick up some tips from an "expert".
Be sure and drop the glue right underneath where you are working, so you can step in it and have it stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Love it! ((=
Need to see the install!
Without any doubt this is the best video on long bevel glue joints.
Love the level of detail you go into
always inspired.
where were you 50 years ago when I needed you?
badass. I subscribe to a channel maybe once a year or two these days. the way you explained all the deets.......subscribed. ✊
Attention to detail. The quality of your work is amazing. Nice job. I’m new to your channel and probably twice your age and every time I watch one of these videos I learn something.
I'm so grateful to watch you work, and thanks to take the time to spread you acknowledge to us.🙏
Hi spencer.
Can u also make a video on how u install these beams .
Thanks for the ideas boss man. You are improving me and everybody else that watches your Chanel. Thank you.
Good tips! I like the idea of burninshing corners while the glue is wet, I will definitely put that to use.
I love all the tips and tricks in this video but I especially love the golf glove tan! Work hard, play hard!
Amen brother!
The only way to build those. Great!! No stupid 'butt ' joints!!
Dude you are way wiser than your age. You are a very talented craftsman. More than that you are very intelligent. You have a lucky family.
Hope to meet some day in Fort Wayne.
When you stopped to clear the chips out of the hose it made me realize that's another advantage of the track saw. You can stop a cut and pick up where you left off. There's plenty of examples where you would want to stop a cut mid operation (specially when the blade is binding) and it's hard to pick it back up while still getting a clean cut.
You savvy boy! Look at you go. Nice work!
Another great video by the Lone Ranger. That said, with all the cordless tools you have or that you’re switching too, you never picked up the rips off the floor, instead you continued to walk over them. If you work alone, you don’t want to trip and fall alone. To quote you, Don’t ask me how I know.
Keep up the great work, stay safe.
I am beyond amazed every time I watch your videos!! You are a true craftsman with a god given talent! Keep the content coming please.
Thank you for sharing ..... the way you explain things is so refreshing & straight forward. You are true Master at you craft & just want to say thank you for your videos & teachings.
you can tell that you are a true craftsman. I really appreciate these videos.
I really appreciate your videos. The way you explain this stuff really clicks for me and you've made me a better carpenter without a doubt. Thank you
This is exactly the kind of video that needs to be seen! Love learning from other people. I know that gut dropping expression, seen it, and lived it. Super recovery!
Always say "there's no such thing as problems, only solutions"
I love this format of video. Thank you for everything you're doing!
Great video....I can identify with dropping the glue so as to step in it!
Look at the tan line on that golf* hand! Quality video man!
Subscriber count is really growing! Great info as always.
Just completed my first mitred pieces using tape. Worked great. Thanks for the great tip
Just used your process for the first time. Worked out beautifully! Thx fpr all the information you share
Wright on brow 🎉
Excellent explanation 🎉
Great video and thanks for sharing your thoughtful approach to finish carpentry and for taking the time to share your amazing skill set.
I've been wanting to add a faux wood beam up in my vaulted ceiling on the living room for years, just didn't have the time or experience doing it. But this video will definitely be the one I refer to!
The beams look great! Not sure why anyone would give you a thumbs down. This is how I build my box beams too, only difference is I use gorilla tape to hold the joints during glue up.
Very much appreciate all of the details and tips. I just completed some box beams for a vaulted ceiling using a number of techniques that you described, and they have turned out great.
Great techniques mate
Always amazed what you do on-site. Again, your videos are always a must see...thanks!
Fun to watch. Superb craftsmanship!!!
Always a joy to see your work !
*Welcome Back* 👍🏻
🙌🏻
Great job! I've been watching your videos for awhile now and I've learned a lot from you. You are a very good finish carpenter.
just gotta say how incredible and thoughtful these vids are coming through ... can tell you have the perfect touch on your craft, of course, and also making these. fantastic man ... superb
Great video Lewis, I’ve just purchased the festool tsc great tool very impressed with the power.looking forward too the next video
Awesome, just awesome. I learn something every time I see one of your videos. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
This is a great video ! I learned a lot from lots of your videos! Keep up the great work bud!!
You have golden hands!
Very nice video to learn from Kudos.
Outstanding video! Thanks man. I admire people who know what they're doing.
Love the shinwa Chalk lines
One additional tip that wasn't mentioned and that's to make sure the flow of the grain on the bottom and two sides is all in the same direction. Notice @20:00 the direction on the sides is the same, but the bottom is in the opposite direction. An observant eye will pick this up and it won't look like the pieces "grew together".
Well done
Always learn something from your videos, thank you!
Thank you Spencer like always in your videos you master carpentry shine. Hi! From Easton Maryland.
Clever Lad Spencer well done astounding work in many shapes and forms .....
The stuff you do is awesome. Very impressive. My dad and I trimmed houses for quite a few years. But the ones you do are a set up and camp out job!!! Keep up the great work.
@11:50 Something as simple as a chalk line for tracksaw. Now why didn't I think of that. And I see what you mean about your chalkline being better because of the builtin pin!
You have such a gift my friend.
Another fantastic job.
Great Video as always
Great content once again. The sanding trick looks mint, I'll have to try that next time. One thing I like to do differently is to make the bottom piece of the beam the exact width of my track, and adjust the width of the mounting board on the ceiling to match. I find it quicker, more consistent, and simpler than measuring each board.
This is perfect timing. I really appreciate this video as it is exactly what I need to pull this off. I'm going to make some floating shelves in my living room above the bar. i have every tool you used in this video including a 118" Makita track. Your already proven technique will make things go much more smoothly. I wasn't even searching for something like this, it just appeared in my recommended videos, although I am a subscriber. Thank you very much.
Beautiful job !
Great work, especially on site. A j-roller really helps the tape grab better. Also, the dip angle of 45.5 is critical. I know you have mentioned that angle in other videos, and it really makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing
Always enjoy your videos, and the why you explain everything, very professional. 😁
Glad you like them!
Great video man love the channel
I had a feeling that the floating desk I built for my sister wasn’t going great because I was using my job site tablesaw instead of a track saw. Around five minutes in what you mentioned has convinced me that I need to get a track saw. And I’ve been leaning towards the Dewalt one because I have all the batteries for the 20 V and FlexVolt stuff. I currently don’t really do any carpentry in my business though.
Thank You Spencer for the video!
I do not hv much experience with these however, I am not afraid to try (maybe not a 14” out of the starting gate but an 8 or 10” ?
I learned being a good finish carpenter means a problem solver!
I really enjoy my chosen craft!
Thank you again Spencer !
Keep ‘em coming buddy and I will clear space in my head for em!

That is a beautiful thing!!
Hey Spencer. Would love to see you do a version for wrapping a column, hiding a metal post.
I have videos on columns further back. Same technique.
Maaan, you ARE a god of miters!
Great instruction. I would love to work for.
Great video, Spencer! I appreciate your work and how you explain the process. Would having a few more sawhorses under there help keep the boards aligned?
Thanks, that was quite useful.
Great video!
Frigging perfection!
Spencer, you definitely need a Festool cyclone dust separator. BTW all you recent videos have very high teaching value. You're doing a great job.
thanks a lot for sharing your videos
I've done a lot of these. Best way is to build it in place on the ceiling. Especially if it's going to be stained. Good luck scribing it if the ceiling or wall isn't flat.
Great job, a difficult one with only two hands.
Great video!
I liked the dropping glue under your feet part
How many times have we all done it !!
Had to do box beams in basement 26’ long had to build them in place.
If you can pre build it do it guy!
You’re a legend!
Just perfect 👍🏻
This is art.
I build mitered beams all day, every day and the best thing I've got is a 16' 5" Festool track and a TS75 saw. I don't use any tape but have devised a pretty cool clamping method. I've actually built a set of 30' + Beams and routinely build widths of 12" and above. Good times 😎😎
I have often though of purchasing a really long track. Who did you purchase your track from?
@@InsiderCarpentry I'll have to ask the guy who does the purchasing. I'll let you know. I'm in SW Florida, so it's probably around here. Near Naples.
Thank you for showing this process. Do you have a video on how you price for labor on this finish carpentry? Would love to learn what is the best way to start and build a small side-hustle without breaking even on a job like this or being the least expensive carpenter on bidding jobs without charging enough. Any advice for a newbie, Spencer?
