@@32fordcoupegirl, the pvc is a cheap molding that you can pick up at Lowe’s or Home Depot.

Very nice work! I'm restoring a house here in France and we have some really dark beams that we want to lighten. Folks around here achieve this with a lighter chalk paint and then use a product called browning wax. It accentuates the grain of the wood - might look good on a project like yours. I just bought some the other day and will be putting on in the next couple of weeks. By the way, I came upon your channel by way of your steampunk lightswitch. I have an old barn I'm converting in to a workshop and want to try something like that. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos!
Hi Rick, I am going to have to look into that browning wax. It sounds great. I wish I had an old barn to convert into a shop. What a wonderful project. I’m going to steampunk the interior doors of the shop and plan to do a video on that too. Thanks again for watching.
Ya know, Gene, you really piss me off, lol. THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. I love the way that came out. I wish I had half of your minds eye. Happy New Year, my friend
Great job, brother! Something to consider: I've been making faux steel for a few years and, after painting it black, I do some light dry brushing with silver to really sell the steel look. I also often add rust effects. I appreciate you, Gene. -Rick, USMC
Hi Gene, and very Happy Holiday wishes to you and your family! The beam is a GREAT addition to the shop, and I love that low profile heater...any plans to Steam Punk it!?
Thanks Deb, she is growing fast only 7 months and already almost 40lbs. She gets along really well with shop cat. Sometimes she gets a little too playful but for the most part, they are doing great. I hope you have a great new year too.
Now THAT is a great idea for a tiny home to keep the weight down while travelling. It's my dream but the prices have gone up waaaay too much so I'll have to build one myself? My son and I don't have those skills so... keep dreaming? Best wishes for 2025 from Belgium - Daniella.
@@DIYGene Hi Gene, the weather is just HORRIBLE, solid grey sky for weeks now, icy cold and wet and windy. I am looking at tiny homes for years now and wouldn't mind a DIY project to cut the insane costs these days. (I did a lot of that in the past) But first... moving to the US and reunite with my son. Am excited to implement many of your projects... Have a wonderful day Gene and thank you for the many ideas 👋
That faux timber beam will fool anyone who didn't see the build. It looks great. Another awesome build.
Thanks Troy, This was a fun project.
I like it. This is what it's all about, being creative. Well done!
@@MrEldoradot, Thank you so much. It really is about being creative. I love doing this stuff.
That really did come out great Gene! Very much a trust the process sort of project!
@@PeteRondeau, Not sure if I was trusting the process or not. LOL
UGH!! You make staining wood look so easy Gene. Good job!
@@ThePeachyPathfinder, But it is easy and fun!

That is possibly the most realistic faux beam I have ever seen. Well done!
Thanks Randell, This was a really fun project.
Great job Gene and cool rocking music too!
Thanks so much for watching.
Very cool. Saved this one for later so I can recreate this in my future house. 👍
Donnie, it is so easy and fun to make.
Turned out great!
Thanks for watching!

Hi Tim, I am having too much fun! Thanks again for watching.
Great work! Looks great!!
Thanks so much. I had so much fun doing this.
@ I have a broken neck. But have been working on setting up a workshop for a few years.
You are truly an inspiration!
Thank you!
Jamie, I really hope it works out well for you and hope you have as much fun as I am.
@Thank you. I’ll be watching every video!
That’s great. If you have any ideas or videos you would like. Please let me know.
Thanks for sharing ☺️
Thanks for watching Paul!

Thanks Rick, That a great idea. I really like the rust idea. I may have to go back and do that.
Nicely done!
Thanks David, This was a fun project.
@@DIYGene I’m definitely going to use this!!! Thanks again for sharing!
I watched the video a second time. How did I miss that sweet pup the first time around?
@@903Woodworks, That is my sweet little 7 month old Boarder Collie, “Harper”. She is a good girl.
Hi Gene, and very Happy Holiday wishes to you and your family! The beam is a GREAT addition to the shop, and I love that low profile heater...any plans to Steam Punk it!?
Hello Old B One! Happy holidays to you and yours too! Any ideas?
Hi Gene! I was thinking it just needs a bit of weathering and a few greebles of copper tubing and, of course, a cog or two.
Happy New Year! Great job Gene! Lovin’ the new shop. Pup is getting big and what a lover. How does she get along with shop cat?
Thanks Deb, she is growing fast only 7 months and already almost 40lbs. She gets along really well with shop cat. Sometimes she gets a little too playful but for the most part, they are doing great. I hope you have a great new year too.
One idea is to create some sort of circular cuts on the ends to replicate growth rings and or heart wood. Awesome turn out though 👍🏼
That’s a great idea. There has to be a way to do that.
How do you find a stud through Brick? TIA
I have a project coming up where I need faux rivets and the ones you used would be perfect! Do you have a link to where you got them? Thanks!
I got them on Amazon: creatoriq.cc/3VW4Hxv
I hope that helps.

Hi Daniella, I think that would be a fun project. Someday I may make a tiny home trailer myself. How is the weather in Belgium?
