I agree. When Dave demonstrates how to do it there are no questions he’s very thorough with his explaining how to. Dave you are a JOY to watch and learn from Thank You
A BIG FUZZY ROLLER might be nice for pressing the tile in place. (Not for applying glue. The way you do this seems fine.) Nice looking job so far. I like your scaffolding set up.
LOL I love that analogy.... Coach builder VS House builder! When I first got out of the Army in 1998, I moved to Texas and bought an old house that was built in 1895, and then moved about 200 feet in the early 1960's to the location where it still is today. There is not a straight line in that house anywhere, every single board is a different size and none of the doors are interchangeable with something you can buy at Lowes! My guess is when the house was built, the lumber mill was right there on the site. Maybe a coach builder decided to build a house!
As I watched you pressing the tile up to the sheet rock to get all of the glue to make contact I had a thought that may save some time. Use a dry paint roller to press all of those glue locations up to the sheet rock. I enjoy watching you doing all of your projects. Especially the wagon wheels. You're a wonderful craftsman, and teacher!! I was a cabinet maker after high school, and during college. Eventually managing large manufacturing plants. I'm retired and 77 years old now. My time in Vietnam exposed me to agent orange, resulting in several diseases. I'm disabled, and limited to small projects, and short sessions of working. I still love to learn new skills, even though I know I'll probably never use what I've learned from people like you!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Barry Litchfield Canyon Lake TX
I thought the same thing using a heavy napped roller to adhere the tiles. Sure would save the fingers. However, I am only an amateur DYI’er compared to the master of all construction and assembly activities. Awesome video, Dave. I always appreciate the details you provide in any activity you undertake. Not only the how but the why. That’s what brings me back twice every week. All the best.
I would never have started a job like this without a battery operated caulk gun. My hands would have given out after about 2 panels. But I don't roll thousand pound wheels around for a living, so my hands are no where near a strong as yours - great job.
I like your comment about just trying it. My daughter and her husband have a house built in 1953, and it has most of the original windows. They looked into getting new windows but the price was astronomical. Now she had never done much painting or varnishing but she sanded and refinished the inside frames and replaced some broken panes and reglazed where needed and repainted the exterior frames. Yeah, that’s my motto, just try it.
Love seeing the museum\gift shop is coming along as its going to hold part of Joliet history. Thanks for keeping us up to date, as my wife and I lived in Joliet when we were first married.
Looks really nice, like the tutorial on how you approached the application of the tiles, made sense to me. Going to be a nice gift shop when you get it completed. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
I can do remolding all day long. From turn of the 1800's buildings to modern worked on so many. Every time I came across an actual true square corner I had to photograph it, I got about 4 or 5 photos now. There is no way on god's green earth that I could do what this man does. My skill level is NOWHERE near that level of mastery. I'm more of the Jack of All Trades, Master of None. I have all the respect in the world for men like this man who ARE true masters of their trade. They are a dying breed in our country.
One day we are going to find a job that Dave can't do, or a skill he does not have, but By Heaven, it will be tough to find. Great stuff Dave, and thanks as always for sharing.
Dave, I myself can relate exactly what you talked about. I retired from the US Army as a Tanker/Armor/Cavalry. I always loved American Indian Beadwork on Warshirts and Moccasins. I gave it a try and now 30 years later can produce almost museum quality Beadwork on Sioux, Crow, Blackfoot and Cheyenne styles.
Ceiling looks great !!! I have always admired the original stamped tin ceilings. Glad you were able to find an affordable solution, and the tabs make installation a bit easier.
No matter what you do, I always learn something I can use or store away for later. Thanks for the lessons, Dave! You're saving me a lot of trial and error.
If you have an old piece of rain gutter to attach to your guardrail, you will have an outstanding tool tray-we do this all the time. Great Video! I like the way you linked the two scaffold sections together. I wonder if contact cement could be rolled onto the ceiling and the tiles.
Hi Dave, Great job so far it is coming along well, I think to press your PVC down you could try a paint roller with a soft nap on it would make it a lot easier for you rather than press it down several times with your fingers just an idea for you. 👍👍👍👍👍
Nicely done! I know vinyl tiles are more time consuming, but it sure beats the mess...especially stucco. I made that mistake before, never again. I spent a week picking stucco out my hair and off the floor, even with drop clothes lol
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, ceiling looks great, and your so right about having a go at a job, we might surprise ourselves. As someone else has pointed out please close that opening in the safety rail, it only takes a second to step out into space when concentrating on the job in hand. As always your tips on how you've gone about this job are always welcome, I hope we see more of this project. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart and Megan UK.
I really like the way you did those handrails on the scaffolding. We have handrails from the manufacturer, but it's not always enough and usually we spread the existing railing to one on, one off and board between on the in-walk area. Not always safe. Going to copy this, because that's easy as pie and cheap.
You're never bored doing different things. One of my first jobs was pounding thumbtacks into a piece of wood for coasters of children's toy chests, talk about boring, 5 1/2 hours a day, tap tap tap tap tap.
I really appreciate your work showing the process. I have a ceiling to do myself and no experience on it. As with everything, there are tricks that make it easier and better. It's good to see someone else and their tricks.
Really great ideas in this video too. Thanks for sharing with us Dave. Was great making the connections for the scaffolding and safety rails for comfort. The ceiling panel installation was real good too. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
I converted a Van into a camper and used the tin variety of ceiling panel for the ceiling of the van, I glued the tin to 1/4" ply panel which were cut to fit into the ceiling. Turned out real nice. Learned a lot along the way,
Very informative Dave, thank you. "Quick Grab" Adhesive is amazing. I hope whoever invented it is now a millionaire. I've never installed PVC ceiling tiles, but I have installed a fair amount of Fiberglass Reinforced Paneling (FRP) on sheet rocked walls. In my experience the adhesive is easy to work with and easy to clean up.
100% agree. I am a retired engineer, but I do all sorts of projects from home DIY to auto to building an airplane in my workshop. I am willing to try anything and I find that with some research, practice and perseverance, I can do most anything I set my mind to. When I had my shop built as a retirement present to myself, I had the contractor lay pex tubing in the slab. Then a couple years later I decided to install the heating system myself. I did some research, watched a number of videos from companies like Taco, and designed and installed my own boiler system. It all came together quite nicely and the only leaks I had were in some Chinese brass fittings that were of very poor quality. It took a little practice to get the 1” and 1-1/4” copper pipe to solder consistently, but it wasn’t bad once I got the hang of it. I had soldered a lot of 1/2” and 3/4” copper pipe, but found that the larger sizes are much more difficult to get hot with a propane torch. Definitely can see why many plumbers use MAPP or a hotter gas for the larger sizes of copper.
9:05 looks like to me that there's enough upright remaining that you could put another horizontal board on top of your guard rail, to close the "door" so to speak. I know me... I get in my own little world and I'd forget there was an opening there and step off. Please consider adding one more piece to the guardrail so you can close the "door" once you're up. 💕🌞🌵😷
As soon as you said a second person would had been handy, but I did it on my own; I said to myself " I bet he has invented something to take their place". Thr Jack came out, clever. Mike.
I still have 35,000 copper ceiling tiles from 1893. This is what remains in my stock after a 1916 built home that I used in my lady's kitchen. The remaing stock will be used in my man cave, which I just finished a carved bar back. Next is a build for the bar to match the bar back. Both are patterned after the 1890 Eagle Saloon which burned down back in 1936. After this 4 businesses in my town would also like these copper ceiling tiles. What will remain after these job should be 28,432 copper ceiling tiles. Treasure for my grandchildren when they grow up.
You have reminded me of a saying by my high school physics teacher 50+ years ago. “If at first you don’t succeed, suc, suc, again until you do succeed(or something like that). You never know what you can do until you try. I have learned many things that I cannot do, but many more that I can do well enough to get by.
would a new / unused, long nap, paint roller be useful to apply the needed seating pressure? I have hours of enjoyment, pleasure and admiration for you and yours, what you do and how you choose to accomplish each task.
Looking great. It’s always enjoyable to do a job by one’s self. Take your time and have a good out come. Mister Engles it always a pleasure to watch your work . Thanks
I have two of those scaffolds as well. Get yourself a set of bolts to go through the holes where the pins join them together. BOLTED, it is much less rickety. Believe it.
Variety in the work certainly makes the life more interesting. I have never heard of tin tiles ceiling before, it looks like something typical from the US.
I’ve always loved those old tin ceilings but I don’t think I’d be able to tell tin from vinyl if my life depended on it. That new ceiling looks fantastic! Here’s a suggestion should you decide you want ceiling lights: LED lights have really improved since they came on the scene and they’ve also become super inexpensive (didn’t want to say cheap). Costco is selling them for ten dollars apiece! The quality of the light emitting from them has also vastly improved. It’s hard to tell the difference between LED from florescent lights. I’ve recently replaced every one of my florescent lights with LED and I’m very happy with them. The Costco lights have removable lenses (not all LED’s have this feature) which I like because I like to “adjust” the brightness by removing the outer lens from the fixture and lightly spray the inside with a light coating of white paint. I use Rust-Oleum 334019 Painter’s Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray Primer (White). One light coat brings the light output down a notch. I put on a coat, let it dry, and then put it back on the fixture to see if I like it and sometimes I’ll give it a second light coat to get it just the way I want it. Another great advantage of LED is that they require only a fraction of the electricity the florescent lights use. Also, LED lights can last for tens of thousands of hours. Honestly, I see no downside to the new ones at all.
LOVE the Handrail idea for the scaffold. At my last shop, we had similar Scaffold - but, as you said - they are sketchy without a handrail! I also want to do exactly the same with the ceiling in my bar area - although it's just a small (8'x10') area. I had to remove & repair some of the ceiling drywall, and the "popcorn" repair looks like garbage, so the "tin" style ceiling panels are PERFECT. THANKS for the lesson!!!!
I have never seen PVC ceiling panels before. They are nice, durable and much easier than installing tin. Watching you install the panel I can see where a soft but stiff roller might help with adhering to the glue areas to the ceiling rather than hand pushing all the contact points. I can also see where another person would be handy. That's just me and you job is beautiful as usual. Regarding trying different things, I am now beginning my journey to work with leather. It is quite challenging so far as all new things are. Thanks.
This is what I have long stated about your abilities to do all of what were traditionally specialist jobs within the carriage making industry. You have perfected each and every stage, which is remarkable. As teenager, I worked out that any trade, regardless of how mysterious, is merely a set of learned skills. It does not take a rocket scientist to learn a set of skills. I have spent my life, learning "how to" with a lot of jobs and tasks and admire someone who can do so with professional (or better than professional) results.
I spent many years in construction, so yes, a lot of your construction type jobs might seem old hat, but what I do enjoy is seeing the ways you adapt to be able to do things solo.
G'day Dave ! Great stuff ! I've been on a parallel project, kinda...; cobbling up a Wooden framework for a Battery-Box and a Switchboard Hutch, on the side on the new "Toyshed" - using the 30mm x 90mm treated Pine left behind by the Concretor after he laid my daughter's 15 cubic metre Slab..., skinned with Microgroove Corrgated Iron off-cuts and used Corrugated Fibreglass Roofing - brought home from the Dump. For extra giggles, I ripsawed the Formwork freehand, with the electric Husqvarna, to 30mm x 42mm - to make it stretch twice as far, and then all the simple Carpentry and complicated JointErrorie (Joinery done sufficiently roughly...!) also chainsawn freehand... With no Paper Plans at any stage of the Design/Fabrication/Assembly...; all Working Drawings done on the the Material. The challenge being to use the materials and tools to hand, without subjecting "good" woodworking Tools to the Concrete-garnished Timber...; and trying to finish up with something functional, structurally-sound, and not painful to look at for the rest of a Hillbilly's tenure insitu... So far, so good...(!). If only 'twere proceeding On schedule... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe, ;-p Ciao !
I tested that same adhesive as it was spec'd for installing acrylic tiles on the facade of the new local lego store. using destructive testing, my test results were that it took 3 days to firm up on drywall, and tiles wouldn't fall off the wal, but had a tendancy to slide down for a whole day. for my install i ended up using an "X" of locktite and a spot in the middle of Dowsil 700 for a 15 minute bond to immobilize the tile. custom 3d printed, rigid tile "T" spacers for staggered "bricks"
We go from This Old Buggy to This Old Farm, and now: This Old House......Kinda of a one stop shop for learnin'.
This Old Shoppe.
Busy Dave. No idle hands here.
I agree. When Dave demonstrates how to do it there are no questions he’s very thorough with his explaining how to. Dave you are a JOY to watch and learn from Thank You
The Bob Ross of carriages and old buildings. Just a joy to watch and listen to.
A BIG FUZZY ROLLER might be nice for pressing the tile in place. (Not for applying glue. The way you do this seems fine.) Nice looking job so far. I like your scaffolding set up.
Good idea. I have a project this would perfect for, so I am taking notes.
Your tip made it to the notes. lol

Oh, now I'm reminded... one can use a paint roller on wallpaper too.
See, there are always little tips like that to be learned and reminded of!

I was going to comment the same thing.
Thank you for your military service!
@@crazykansan3026 Hey Crazykansan... What part of Kansas?
I would never have started a job like this without a battery operated caulk gun. My hands would have given out after about 2 panels. But I don't roll thousand pound wheels around for a living, so my hands are no where near a strong as yours - great job.
Iv've always liked old tin ceilings. Never knew there was a 'modern' alternative. Thanks for sharing.

Love how you figure out a way to make it work.
Those plastic tiles actually look the part. Great video as always.
Thanks Dave....great video!!
Dave is an EXCELLENT teacher!
Not only explains the what & how, but also includes the WHY.
Love seeing the museum\gift shop is coming along as its going to hold part of Joliet history. Thanks for keeping us up to date, as my wife and I lived in Joliet when we were first married.
I enjoy watching the extra shenanigans you get up to... they are a nice bonus along side the coach building.
Looks very nice and never needs painting. Great job have fun.
Great things about those panels is that you can paint them if your desire.
You are an excellent instructor/teacher. I appreciate your style. I love your works.
Looks really nice, like the tutorial on how you approached the application of the tiles, made sense to me. Going to be a nice gift shop when you get it completed. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
Just love to watch you work, when I’m not! lol Your craftsmanship always is just something to be admired!

"Spookey"! You took the words right out of my mouth. Great Idea with those supports!!!
It is quite satisfying to watch to watch you Dave and you never let anything beat you .l really appreciate you taking us along .
You truly are a Dave of all trades!
Very nice I like the looks of those tiles. I consider myself a jack of all trades and haven't been afraid to try something new.
One day we are going to find a job that Dave can't do, or a skill he does not have, but By Heaven, it will be tough to find. Great stuff Dave, and thanks as always for sharing.
Even if we could find a job that Dave has never done he would still try to find a way to do it. 😉
Dave, I myself can relate exactly what you talked about. I retired from the US Army as a Tanker/Armor/Cavalry. I always loved American Indian Beadwork on Warshirts and Moccasins. I gave it a try and now 30 years later can produce almost museum quality Beadwork on Sioux, Crow, Blackfoot and Cheyenne styles.
That's impressive.
Ceiling looks great !!!
I have always admired the original stamped tin ceilings.
Glad you were able to find an affordable solution, and the tabs make installation a bit easier.
No matter what you do, I always learn something I can use or store away for later.
Thanks for the lessons, Dave! You're saving me a lot of trial and error.
If you have an old piece of rain gutter to attach to your guardrail, you will have an outstanding tool tray-we do this all the time. Great Video! I like the way you linked the two scaffold sections together. I wonder if contact cement could be rolled onto the ceiling and the tiles.
Great idea! An old railing planter would work too! We use them for a herb garden on our deck and always have one or two old ones laying around.
That is a great ceiling tile. Looks just like the old tin sheet.
Hi Dave, Great job so far it is coming along well, I think to press your PVC down you could try a paint roller with a soft nap on it would make it a lot easier for you rather than press it down several times with your fingers just an idea for you. 👍👍👍👍👍
If I were closer to you I’d come on over . Australia Love your presence 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks nice! I guess the old adage is true here, what’s old is new! Beautiful ceiling.
Nicely done! I know vinyl tiles are more time consuming, but it sure beats the mess...especially stucco. I made that mistake before, never again. I spent a week picking stucco out my hair and off the floor, even with drop clothes lol

I really like the way you did those handrails on the scaffolding. We have handrails from the manufacturer, but it's not always enough and usually we spread the existing railing to one on, one off and board between on the in-walk area. Not always safe. Going to copy this, because that's easy as pie and cheap.
Based on the labor price you would pay a trade to do this ceiling work you make money by doing it yourself! Great job on the gift shop/museum!
Can't wait to have an ice cream in this little shop.
Looks nice , well done!
You're never bored doing different things. One of my first jobs was pounding thumbtacks into a piece of wood for coasters of children's toy chests, talk about boring, 5 1/2 hours a day, tap tap tap tap tap.
Good job Dave!
Great idea staggering that joint, it would never have occurred to me. We boatbuilders have the same statement about housebuilding.
Especially when you get inside for the kitchen/crew areas. No Square corners - but lots of corners.
Pretty interesting ceiling, The explanation about the glue is the problem many would be understanding. but thanks for the video Dave
Always something to learn at the Engels Coach Shop. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.
looks very good , just like the old tin ceilings . terry keep up the good work .
You’re doing a great job in all your projects. Common sense approach makes the journey smoother.
Thanks to you Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am with you on the guard rails. I worked a little on one without and felt very unsteady.
Those small scaffolding are definitely squirrely to work off. Your mods are awesome. Project looks great!👍🏻
I really appreciate your work showing the process. I have a ceiling to do myself and no experience on it. As with everything, there are tricks that make it easier and better. It's good to see someone else and their tricks.
It makes me so happy to hear that you shop at harbor freight - that's like a toy-store to my grown-up self
Really great ideas in this video too. Thanks for sharing with us Dave. Was great making the connections for the scaffolding and safety rails for comfort. The ceiling panel installation was real good too. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
Thank you, Fred.
Oooh thank you, Dave, I now think my kitchen remodel is going to feature a pretty pvc ceiling!
I converted a Van into a camper and used the tin variety of ceiling panel for the ceiling of the van, I glued the tin to 1/4" ply panel which were cut to fit into the ceiling. Turned out real nice. Learned a lot along the way,

How about getting a paint roller with a thick nap and use that to roll in the tile to adhere to the ceiling,just saying.great job.😎😎😎👍👍👍
9:05 looks like to me that there's enough upright remaining that you could put another horizontal board on top of your guard rail, to close the "door" so to speak.

A grout float might be helpful in setting the panel.
The finished ceiling will look great.
On rolling scaffolds the names Franklin and Baker are interchangable.I like your handrail and connector pins.😊
That is a beautiful ceiling tile. You make a difficult installation look fairly easy.
Looks real nice 😊
Great job so far!
would a new / unused, long nap, paint roller be useful to apply the needed seating pressure? I have hours of enjoyment, pleasure and admiration for you and yours, what you do and how you choose to accomplish each task.
Looking great. It’s always enjoyable to do a job by one’s self. Take your time and have a good out come. Mister Engles it always a pleasure to watch your work . Thanks
I have two of those scaffolds as well. Get yourself a set of bolts to go through the holes where the pins join them together. BOLTED, it is much less rickety. Believe it.
"Mick Angelo"😂
Nice job Dave. 👍
good one Dave just try something its amazing what you can do I know this have done it take care you guys till the next one Rich
Hard roller to smooth over and set the glue, not fingers.
Thanks Dave...I really enjoy your videos.
Variety in the work certainly makes the life more interesting. I have never heard of tin tiles ceiling before, it looks like something typical from the US.

a rubber J roller would be great for rolling those into place.

great advise Dave, everybody should try 😊
Wonderful progress Dave. You are truly one of a kind, and we are all the richer for it. Thank you.
LOVE the Handrail idea for the scaffold. At my last shop, we had similar Scaffold - but, as you said - they are sketchy without a handrail!

back in the 70s-80s there were several fires where the roof panels caused deaths i think that sort of panel is now banned in the UK
Once again thanks for the video.
That is amazing and great for ceilings
Thanks for posting Dave
I like how Dave says"...pretty simple. " Simple for him, but not for most of we inept normal folks.
Just a joy to watch😀😀😀😀😀
This is what I have long stated about your abilities to do all of what were traditionally specialist jobs within the carriage making industry. You have perfected each and every stage, which is remarkable.
As teenager, I worked out that any trade, regardless of how mysterious, is merely a set of learned skills. It does not take a rocket scientist to learn a set of skills. I have spent my life, learning "how to" with a lot of jobs and tasks and admire someone who can do so with professional (or better than professional) results.
I spent many years in construction, so yes, a lot of your construction type jobs might seem old hat, but what I do enjoy is seeing the ways you adapt to be able to do things solo.
G'day Dave !
Great stuff !
I've been on a parallel project, kinda...; cobbling up a Wooden framework for a Battery-Box and a Switchboard Hutch, on the side on the new "Toyshed" - using the 30mm x 90mm treated Pine left behind by the Concretor after he laid my daughter's 15 cubic metre Slab..., skinned with Microgroove Corrgated Iron off-cuts and used Corrugated Fibreglass Roofing - brought home from the Dump.
For extra giggles, I ripsawed the Formwork freehand, with the electric Husqvarna, to 30mm x 42mm - to make it stretch twice as far, and then all the simple Carpentry and complicated JointErrorie (Joinery done sufficiently roughly...!) also chainsawn freehand...
With no Paper Plans at any stage of the Design/Fabrication/Assembly...; all Working Drawings done on the the Material.
The challenge being to use the materials and tools to hand, without subjecting "good" woodworking Tools to the Concrete-garnished Timber...; and trying to finish up with something functional, structurally-sound, and not painful to look at for the rest of a Hillbilly's tenure insitu...
So far, so good...(!).
If only 'twere proceeding
On schedule...
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Stay safe,
;-p
Ciao !
I tested that same adhesive as it was spec'd for installing acrylic tiles on the facade of the new local lego store. using destructive testing, my test results were that it took 3 days to firm up on drywall, and tiles wouldn't fall off the wal, but had a tendancy to slide down for a whole day.
for my install i ended up using an "X" of locktite and a spot in the middle of Dowsil 700 for a 15 minute bond to immobilize the tile. custom 3d printed, rigid tile "T" spacers for staggered "bricks"
