Man the video editing and quality has mad major improvements over the years. It’s like watching a major production type of show. Keep up the awesome work guys.
@@devonwainstein9188 You’re right, Lame. My favorite kind of work to see is the kind done from a really crappy camera angle; preferably with a crappy camera (the crappier the better). If it’s crappy that’s how I know I’m witnessing real work being done… even though I can’t really make out what work is being done because of the crappy footage… or if any work is being done at all for that matter. But I don’t care cuz that’s stuffs LAME
IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR YEARS. IVE STARED MY OWN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THIS LAST YEAR AND CAN DEFFINITLY SAY THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE MY GO TO WHILE ON SITE AND HAVE QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. MUCH LOVE FROM SC
Your abilities and attention to detail make you one of the best builders I've ever seen. Paying attention to nail gauge, exterior vs interior nails, priming end cuts, on and on, anyone using your talents is going to have the best finished products in the business! You're inspirational, thank you for showing the world how to do it correctly!
I am a do it yourself and wanted to say i have learned so much from your videos and my skills have improved so much because of them. Thank you and keep them coming.
I'm never disappointed with you guys. Such craftsmanship and professionalism. It's a treat to see people who care about what they do. Congrats on the new house also. Y'all have a good weekend. 👍💯
Regarding router bits, there are pattern bits that have both upcut and downcut spiral bits. They leave no frayed edges what so ever. We also have gotten used to down cut spiral bits, for a clean edge for drilling thru
Loved this video Richard! The cinematography is constantly improving and the voiceover was a really nice addition. Although the face to face explanations are always enjoyable, it’s nice to clearly watch your workflow while you’re explaining your methods and thought processes. Keep up the good work!!!
Do you use that bit to trim to the outside of the box? When he used the flush trim bit, that trims flush to the inside of the box but many boxes need to be flush with the finished ceiling so trimming to the inside of the box doesn’t work. I guess the spiral bit would be the solution (?)
I've never seen you do anything other than professionally done. Looks great. I have 5 Dewalt routers for different jobs, great tools. 3 horse in my router table.
Wouldn't you get a more accurate moisture reading by using the cut end of the board instead of going through the prepped side of the wood? Just asking because I don't know.
Greetings from Houston, TX brother! Keep up the good work! Also great tips that you shared. I'm glad you discovered the router solution to those cutouts. A lot of time and stamina saving!
VERY impressive video! I have seen more than my fair share of how-to videos, and you pack an amazing amount of detail into yours, very direct, concise, and to the point. Most would have made a video like this take twice as long. VERY high quality carpentry work to boot. Keep up the great work!
Would a high humidity climate eventually cause the brad nails to weaken ? I want to do this on the underside of the deck but I feel like I would have to use staples ? Great info
New subscriber! I'm wanting to make coffered ceilings on my porches. I currently have vinyl so I have a couple of questions. One would be how would I transition in between the wood to vinyl? I also live in Alabama where there's no access to Windsor One so would mdf be fine since it's going outside? Thanks
Painter in Sarasota, FL - no good exterior primer (MicroTite) for 8 months, and exterior premium paint (SW Emerald Rain Refresh) is as rare as hens teeth right now.
Was looking for the same answer. If I had to guess, he's using 1 1/2 to 2" 16ga nails. Ideally, your nails should be at least twice as long as your material thickness. 3/4" T&G shiplap should equal 1 1/2" nails minimum
Your videos are ridiculously thorough. You’re like a one stop stop for a diy’er. How does the router not damage something inside a hole for a light? What if I have a junction box there?
That new Metabo cordless 1/2” router would be killer for those ceiling cut outs. Might need to transition to Dewaukeetabo if you’re gonna be doing a bunch more of these ceilings. Also, you aren’t lying about that Windsor One. I did 2 1x panel walls for a customer recently. Convinced him to go with Windsor One and it turned out phenomenal. It also helped that the product shares the same name as me lol.
@FinishCarpentryTV - Another great video! …I noticed you didn’t prime the router cuts, why is it important to seal off the end cuts of the board but not the router cuts? Won’t they also try to suck up the moisture?
I use the router on all cut outs needed. Just clean up corners with a small hand saw. So much easier and faster than measuring all those little cuts. Just pay attention to where your nails are!
If the router bit matches the inside dimension of the can light, how will it work with can lights that are set up for 1/2 material without planning to use shear? You would need the outside dimension of the can light. Special router bit?
Another great video! Maybe a quick efficiency tip vs having separate router cuts for each half of hole - after you put first board up drill 1" hole with a spade bit, then after fitting second board one-step router cut for whole hole. If you want a reference (so you know roughly where you're going you can always draw a quick half circle on the first board with a pencil (although if you consistently place the hole at what you might call 12 o'clock, you can skip the pencil mark . Maybe not huge, but with a large number of cuts you do half the number of router events and you're only picking up/setting down the router once for each complete hole. And you can even leave all the router cuts till the end with this method. But of course nothing wrong with what you did.
Your videos are awesome keep them coming. You’ve sold me on WindsorOne. I’m down in south Florida and was able to order some WindsorOne header cap. I’m impressed with them and if I could I would buy all my wood from them but unfortunately my order took 3 weeks.
You had mention that the wood moisture is not to exceed 18% what happens if it does? And is the the moisture in the wood resulting from being stored in a wet location or from humid conditions ?
I'm an owner builder, but not a carpenter. The house has a covered patio such as the one in this video. In your video you installed plywood then Tyvek before installing the tongue and groove. Just curious as to why you installed plywood before TG? It seems more practical. I watched another video that did not use plywood before installing the TG lumber. It may be easier but less area to secure finish nails. I appreciate any comment.
Couple questions since this project is so similar to mine. As far as using router what do you do for canned lights that aren't flush with roofing. Should I have electrician move them higher so they are flush? Also, is it OK to install a tongue and groove on ceiling like the one in this video without plywood sheathing and just Tyvek? I am in PNW? Great video and I will look forward to checking all of yours out.
15:39 We’re doing a similar install on our porch ceiling and I would like to know if we should be caulking between the boards before painting? There seems to be a difference of opinion on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great video as always! I tried looking for that miter saw fence but couldn’t find it anywhere? What brand is it? I looked at CutHub but didn’t notice they had anything like that? Then I started thinking maybe you had it custom made because it’s yellow with red I noticed 😂 I’m the same way! I use what I want and like both dewalt and Milwaukee.
if I don't have a mallet, sometimes I use a drop piece of that material as a block to smack the pieces into place, but you have to mock it up to the groove so the piece you're installing doesn't get damaged

I agree! Excellent quality production and it seems like Richard is more direct and to the point. Love it!

Watching you route out those recesses light openings makes me glad to be an electrician. All that sawdust no thanks. Nice work Richard.
That intro made me feel like I was about to watch This Old House! Awesome job Richard.
I think you meant that as a compliment.
Your filming and editing is excellent - thanks for the videos!
I am a do it yourself and wanted to say i have learned so much from your videos and my skills have improved so much because of them. Thank you and keep them coming.
Hahahha!! Just finished the first part of this video from a few days ago and then this pops up, score !! 😂😂😂 binge watch!
Man John really killed it with shots in the beginning there
Thanks Richard for the info, kudos to the filming!
Hello from Anchorage Alaska. Your videos are relevant and spot on. Great tips and tricks.
I'm never disappointed with you guys. Such craftsmanship and professionalism. It's a treat to see people who care about what they do. Congrats on the new house also. Y'all have a good weekend. 👍💯

Its called a compression bit.
You are 100% correct on Windsor One products. They are the best I’ve ever worked with.
Loved this video Richard! The cinematography is constantly improving and the voiceover was a really nice addition. Although the face to face explanations are always enjoyable, it’s nice to clearly watch your workflow while you’re explaining your methods and thought processes. Keep up the good work!!!
I absolutely agree!!💯
That production has really gotten high quality 👍.
Glad to have you back.
Hey brother, I love your videos. I have learned so much keep up the good work !
I’ve been using the cordless Dewalt trim router with a 1/4 down spiral top bearing bit and it works like a dream
Do you use that bit to trim to the outside of the box? When he used the flush trim bit, that trims flush to the inside of the box but many boxes need to be flush with the finished ceiling so trimming to the inside of the box doesn’t work. I guess the spiral bit would be the solution (?)
I've never seen you do anything other than professionally done. Looks great. I have 5 Dewalt routers for different jobs, great tools. 3 horse in my router table.
Man u are no joke. True professional of your craft.
Flush trim bit is a freakin awesome idea. Those boards definitely get the ol whistle of approval.
Whoa !!! Stepping up n the quality of videos!! I'm so glad you landed well with a place to live..karma is your side for such a wonderful family..
Awesome job. Really impressed with the instructions as you build. Watched several of your videos and all of them are first class.
The new visual are crazy..love it...looks like an HGTV show
Nice music for the intro, you have good taste in music and Carpentry!
Good job, dude. I’m going to throw my mom’s new ceiling up based on your lesson here.
For that I’m thankful!
Always waiting for your videos I pay attention to every thing you say. I learn alot from you. You are my teacher.
I respect the fact that your willing to drag a hose around the scaffold to achieve the proper fastening technique good for you brother
Wouldn't you get a more accurate moisture reading by using the cut end of the board instead of going through the prepped side of the wood? Just asking because I don't know.
Your videos have come a long ways brotha. Happy for you.
Very nice finished look !!!! Router info is GREAT !!
Question: Does it matter if the male end faces out when you start? I have seen it done on TH-cam both ways. BTY, great instructional video!
You're highly efficient. No wasted motion.
I am enjoying your efforts on your video editing . . .
Glad to see you posting more again. I hope that means things are settling down for you and your family, and the move. Nice looking ceiling so far.
hello, I’m very interested in how long the work took and how much work did you do in one working day? I will be grateful for the answer
Greetings from Houston, TX brother! Keep up the good work! Also great tips that you shared. I'm glad you discovered the router solution to those cutouts. A lot of time and stamina saving!
Is it standard to install plywood sheets prior to installing tongue & groove or T-11?
You could have your own show on hgtv lol. Amazing level of skill, thank you for your videos. Love the diamond back rig.
VERY impressive video! I have seen more than my fair share of how-to videos, and you pack an amazing amount of detail into yours, very direct, concise, and to the point. Most would have made a video like this take twice as long. VERY high quality carpentry work to boot. Keep up the great work!
Would a high humidity climate eventually cause the brad nails to weaken ? I want to do this on the underside of the deck but I feel like I would have to use staples ?
Great info
the rectangle holes / slots in ceiling are for heaters and air conditioning ?
Would a 1/4" spiral flush cut bit work better for tearing through that wood like that?
Did all the lights line up on the Tongue and groove boards? And if not how do you do that after they are installed in the plywood
When installing t & g ceiling boards.............would it be advised to glue and nail the boards?
Man with many talents. TH-cam game strong!
New subscriber!

This is so cool, I’m excited to see the finished product.
How long of finishing nails did you use on this project?
That is some fine house! I bet working with high quality products makes the job a lot more enjoyable.
Did you go back and prime the raw wood in the cut outs?
great question!
I was wondering the same thing.
Cinematic shots were on point
can you use a rotary tool instead of a router for the circular, square and rectangular cuts???
The materials shortage is really killing us in the NW too man. Your work looks amazing as always. The customers are lucky to have you guys!
Painter in Sarasota, FL - no good exterior primer (MicroTite) for 8 months, and exterior premium paint (SW Emerald Rain Refresh) is as rare as hens teeth right now.
That is a smooth clean install boss. Love the into and the slow mo of you doing the cut out.
you going to primer the cut edges you made with the router?
Awesome video and live that plunge base router!!😍😍🪚🔧🪛🧰
Every time I watch one of your videos, it makes me wanna do some work. Great job
Hey Richard great work.. would it be better If you use the 18 gage crown stapler with 2" staples instead of 16 gage neumatic nails?
How long are the 16 gauge nails you're using? When properly angled, do the tips of the nails protrude from the opposite side of the plywood?
Was looking for the same answer. If I had to guess, he's using 1 1/2 to 2" 16ga nails. Ideally, your nails should be at least twice as long as your material thickness. 3/4" T&G shiplap should equal 1 1/2" nails minimum
Your videos are ridiculously thorough. You’re like a one stop stop for a diy’er. How does the router not damage something inside a hole for a light? What if I have a junction box there?
Looks great! love watching how your skills have progressed over the years.. Keep it up!
What router bit is that for cutting out ceiling holes for speakers and light fixtures?
That new Metabo cordless 1/2” router would be killer for those ceiling cut outs. Might need to transition to Dewaukeetabo if you’re gonna be doing a bunch more of these ceilings.
Also, you aren’t lying about that Windsor One. I did 2 1x panel walls for a customer recently. Convinced him to go with Windsor One and it turned out phenomenal. It also helped that the product shares the same name as me lol.

Where is the video link for the ceiling prep on this job? Thanks
If the router bit matches the inside dimension of the can light, how will it work with can lights that are set up for 1/2 material without planning to use shear? You would need the outside dimension of the can light. Special router bit?
I liked this video before I even watched it. That’s how good this man is.

And you can even leave all the router cuts till the end with this method. But of course nothing wrong with what you did.
Question regarding where you've notched out the speaker and lights - do you have prime those edges as well?
What brand/model is your miter saw stand ?
Can you use that plunge base router for metal ?
Just ordered the dewalt trim router with the plunge base. Amped to get my hands on it.
Watching as I comment. Do you then prime the route cut out sections or is that not necessary?
Good video. Ceiling looks great.
Your videos are awesome keep them coming. You’ve sold me on WindsorOne. I’m down in south Florida and was able to order some WindsorOne header cap. I’m impressed with them and if I could I would buy all my wood from them but unfortunately my order took 3 weeks.
Good job bro 👏 .can I ask you how much you charge per square foot?
what size of 16 gauge nail you are using ? "2 or "2.5
You had mention that the wood moisture is not to exceed 18% what happens if it does? And is the the moisture in the wood resulting from being stored in a wet location or from humid conditions ?
What are the yellow taller fences you have on your miter saw? Link to those?
I'm an owner builder, but not a carpenter. The house has a covered patio such as the one in this video. In your video you installed plywood then Tyvek before installing the tongue and groove.

Great video and I will look forward to checking all of yours out.
What’s the make of your moisture meter you were using please
Two thumbs up for this video. You guys do awesome work and you're a great teacher or your craft.
15:39 We’re doing a similar install on our porch ceiling and I would like to know if we should be caulking between the boards before painting? There seems to be a difference of opinion on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you thing Milwaukee's 18v hand router could do this?
You gotta talk about that tool belt ! Looking nice 👍🏽
Great video as always! I tried looking for that miter saw fence but couldn’t find it anywhere? What brand is it? I looked at CutHub but didn’t notice they had anything like that? Then I started thinking maybe you had it custom made because it’s yellow with red I noticed 😂 I’m the same way! I use what I want and like both dewalt and Milwaukee.
Big fan. Love your work. Can you tell me how you adhere the 1x2 to the ply yet still allow the t&g to expand?
Moisture meter isn't in your Amazon store. Which model/brand?
I see the tyvek moisture barrier: is there any concern about water building up behind the wood and ruining the ship lap?
Hi, nice job. Why you don't used Dewalt cordless tools( Finish Nailer, Cordless Router) ???
Air finish nail gun is much better , cordless sucks.
if I don't have a mallet, sometimes I use a drop piece of that material as a block to smack the pieces into place, but you have to mock it up to the groove so the piece you're installing doesn't get damaged
NIce work as always Richard. Pleasure to watch your videos
love u guys God bless you greeting from Poland
Another great video! I really enjoy your channel buddy.
What do you install to cover the expansion gap?
He said normally a 1x2 - but this ceiling gets to have a Finished Carpentry extra special Coffered ceiling. And I can't wait.
Why are you putting tyvek barrier for an under roof application?
