exactly the project I'm working on today. I wasn't real sure how I was going to do it. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks, just what I have been looking for.
Thank you for posting this! Easily explained and nice job! Starting mine today.
Thanks for the tutorial. I've been trying to figure out how to re-cover my lally poles for a few weeks. This is helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I was able to finish mine and it looks great.
Well done! This is exactly what I was looking for! Nice quality work. Thank you for sharing!
That’s a nifty idea! Gonna try this
This is a really good idea. I love it. Great job.
Awesome explanation! Thank you!
Thanks, beautiful work!
Great video ! Well done...Thanks
Great Video! Thank you! i was trying to figure it out a way of doing it.
I use pl glue all the time . I can confirm that that box will Never come apart. They will have to break it into pieces. Nice job!
Thanks for sharing this video...
Nice work!. I was thinking about using a 2x6" board to go inside the middle for extra support, but wasn't sure if the extra size would cause a problem with expansion and shrinking or if using my hole saw with a hand held drill would be too thick, causing the holes to become less accurate. My lally pole is 3" diameter but I noticed you used a 3.5 inch hole saw. Your thoughts?
Very good where's the two crowns for top and bottom
Good video 👍
Did you ever check out simpl column framing?
Good way to camo your column and you could put in foam for insulation
Was this a 3.5" Dia Lally Column or 4"?
Its a very nice borat, yess
Very helpful video. Is it possible to add an electrical outlet to a boxed lally column? If so, would you show us how?
+Winston Collier I think it's just a matter of making one of the dimensions larger to accommodate the space the electrical box would take. You should also use a sleeved cable (either bx or liqui-tite type sleeves) as there are no real solid structures to attach the wiring to.
The one thing you want to ensure when placing an electrical outlet is that it's very strong. Your surface MUST never move. The problem I see with these boxes, as they are a glued and tacked box, and I'm not 100% confident that it would pass electrical inspection. That said, if I were to do this, I'd make sure that one of the brackets was below the box, supporting it. I wold also ensure that I had some wood right beside the box and put a wood screw through it. For this reason, you need to make the box large enough so you have enough meat (wood) to drill a screw through to secure your electrical box: the wood used here looks to be 5/8", so you need to make it thicker where you're using your screws. I wold make my width equal to the width of the box plus 4 times the thickness of the material, and see how much space that leaves me for the depth. If I were making the columns square, then I would add more wood on the sides to suit. Don't place anything on the top because that's where your electrical comes in.
Pole-Wrap is easier to install and looks way better. Check it out!
l0ve the upside down video part! haha! I was wondering why the doors looked funny. :D
I love this method: I'm going to use thi9s on a job I have. :) I would have chosen some wood without knot. I find that it's 50-50 whether the knots can stain through a coating of shellac, so I don't leave anything to chance anymore: if the wood is exposed (painted, stained, or left bare), I look for knot-free stuff.
did you stand on your head for the 2nd half of the video?
He likes being upside down.
rangerjbdejo lol
or use ramset
Dudes walking on the ceiling!!
What tool did you use to round the corner of that pine?
Keith Fox To cut out the circle or to round the outer column before painting? If it's the latter then just a orbital sander will do.
thanks, but my comment was two years old. I still appreciate you coming back to reply buddy!
I don't want to turn my house upside down though....😕
How did you turn your house upside down in the last part of the video? On a more serious observation, if you wanted a better finished look you should have ripped the boards edges to a 45 deg. angle.
3 years later, he is enjoying an IPA looking at those posts saying.. i cant believe the posts that people posted on this video about posts
Why, its getting paint. Clearly states in the video seems are glued and sanded. Other posters are getting way to uptight over a very small amount of non-PT wood touching the concrete floor, or just hold the bottom off the floor a half inch. I like this method much more than ramset and sheeting with drywall. Plan to incorporate it in my work moving forward. Nice job!
Why is the camera upside down?
You can never fully hide a but joint, will always see the line. You need to make your corners 45 degrees on the table saw to do it properly
Eastern european accent? :) Bulgarian?
The last minute and a half of the video is upside down! :(
too much trouble.... easiest method is to put a 2x6 on either side and use a ramset gun with yellow grade charge.
Exactly! Unless he’s boxing it this way to leave the wood exposed and not dry walled. Otherwise 2x6 like you said Ramset into post. Done
Can't believe carpenter didn't bother with simple cap and base from leftover scraps just cause the way he rubbed his hand allover suggested how smooth 4/4 square post, and not column, & what about videographer? How did you manage to capture the last part from on your head? Maybe the same carpenter hold your legs since it was a dragg at the end... Lol
Jack post! Is what it's called! And your soffit is a bulk head!!
Great job buddy. Fix your camera position next time.
I don't understand it's up side down 😁😁😁😁
Next time make sure you use pressure treated wood on anything that touched cement.
Why sand the wood, just mud it like drywall and then sand that
I don't understand why you want to make a small column larger by boxing it in with 1" boards. I'm gonna take a grinder to my metal column and paint it. Much less intrusive in the middle of my finished basement.
Uh oh, no pressure treated lumber where it touches the concrete? It won't last 2 years before starts rotting.
+Oscar Villegas (Hey! FYI) Pressure treated Lumber is not used to prevent Rot on Interior Concrete Walls! Its used to prevent Termites!!!! Plus, as long as you don't have water leaking in on the floor, the lumber will out last you.
+Ed Rutter Pressure treating is most definitely not just for termites. It is to prevent/delay rot in damp & wet environments (bacteria/fungi/insects eating away at the wood). Untreated lumber on the cement will absorb the moisture (if present) and the wood will mold and/or rot unless his floor was poured with a vapor barrier underneath to stop the migration of moisture from the soil.
I just used PT on the floor plates for all of my walls in the basement.
The wood should not be touching the columns. They can sweat in a conditioned space, and that will rot the wood.
