How many pounds of flag stone did you use ? Flag stones are expensive

Fantastic job.

It is Tuesday, how you know? Lol. Great work.

So your time is worth nothing??

10:25 pm. It would be great if you could sell all parts as a kit with instructions. Instructions can specify tools needed. Unclear where and how you configured the position of the litter box. Contractor with construction and electrical must be hired.

My father-in-law did this and it all flaked off making a massive mess on the carpet. Don't use foam.

Wood grain tool work’s Amazing actually. Kinda need to just keep trying. Do one pull/drag at a time and make sure the pull or drag you will be doing with the wood grain tool the strip of paint is damp with whatever color you are using. And do one pull/drag at a time. And you can overlap each drag also. I’ve only done it with paint only latex, acrylic, I have never attempted it with stain. A think that right there is a huge issue because imo wood grain tool works best on a non-porous surface . Hope this helps. Either way you’re beams. Look freaking awesome! Nice work!

great piece of driftwood! love everything structurally, but i have a sense that your cat may have been deterred from using it because of the toxic wood finishes you used

looks legit!

Very Creative....what doest the Fire Marshall or Building Codes have to say about the exposed XPS?

Very nice job and makes sense for the cost weight and ease of the project. Had no idea the foam could be transformed like that, thanks for sharing!

Great video, I've always wanted to make beams..

It's not remotely close to be interesting, it's SOOOOOO interesting 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hace un tiempo hice yo la misma prueba y me quedo fantástico, realmente parecen madera.

Wow, you did a great job! And you put a really good video together, showing the steps along the way. Well done!

▶️ Use the wood grain tool on a layer of PAINT underneath your stain coat!

Absolutely brilliant. Well done.

How hard can it be... that's where it always begins.

Styrofoam is combustible, and is required by building code to be covered. drywall, Rockwood ect... it looks good but you are creating a fire hazard

Liked and subscribed love this idea!!!

Great video! Thanks for making it.

How much time you spent on it ? And it’s not solid as wood meaning can easily get dents

Awesome!

I liked the vid but watched it on a Sunday so I didn't sub........lol

You are making your own crop circle!

Dude you are a genius! I've been wanting to add beams to my great room's cathedral ceiling, but real beams are too heavy, pre-made foam faux beams are too expensive and beams made with 1 X lumber always shows the joints no matter how good your 45's are. I've used the pink foam board insulation for displays before and I'm the king of using the faux wood graining tool with paint, but I never thought of putting the two things together. My only suggestion / improvement will be to alternately splice the pieces to create a beam longer than 8' so I won't have to do any splicing, patching, staining at the ceiling level.

Do you sell these?

This over 700 dollar ones! 🙌🏽

How to make your house look like a community theater set 101! 😂😂

Amazing! Very crafty. This gave me some halloween ideas! hahah thanks!

I really enjoyed watching your method. You were also fun to listen to. Of course, people that comment are going to criticize and poke holes into your creativity but who cares -I think they came out fantastic. You are really ambitious. Great results.

Time saw table lapse. Nice lol

Can I ask what colors you used for the paint and stain

Love the jokes

I usually use ramen noodle

Is the bondo waterproof if not won’t it perhaps rot again

The beams turned out great! Your texturing looks amazing! I like how it turned out. If I ever try it, hopefully it looks that good!

I always say, Measure once, cuss twice!

This is an amazing video. Very clever. Great cost saver.

This foam adhesive works great with this type of insulation: Loctite PL 300 Foamboard Acrylic Latex Construction Adhesive.

I was skeptical at the beginning, but these turned out really well. Very nice job and a really innovative approach.

I just did this last October to use as Halloween props. I used a wire brush for smaller grain and the back end of skinny paint brushes of different sizes for deeper grain texture and make it look a bit more aged. I used a knife to shave off circular pieces to imitate knots in the wood. I then painted it with several shades of brown and used a watered down black paint to fill in the grain and add some depth. I then coated it with matte mod podge to seal it. When it was done I used Velcro strips to stick them up on my windows. I hung a few boards over each window to make make house look like an old abandoned house that was boarded up. We even had a couple over the front door and handed out the candy between the boards. It’s a time consuming project, especially when waiting for each shade of brown to dry when using 5 or 6 colors to really age it. Next year I might get some shades of green and grey and use a sponge to dab it on and give it a mossy effect

Looks great!

Truly hated the joke you put in there. You're a dad right? C'mon now.

DUDE! Great job!

wow.. unreal what an amazing idea, now make a set of foam speakers with sound exciters... same effect

"If I was into wood working enough to know that do you think I would be making beams out of foam?" "So for the minority of people watching this who actually try to build these..." Love the humor. And, as fate would have it, I'm watching on a Tuesday so I'm compelled to subscribe. My question: the video is only a couple of months old; assuming this project was for your own home, what are your thoughts after having lived with them for a bit? Are they convincing enough for YOU? My fear is that -knowing what they *are* would mess with my mind and that it would be difficult to get over the artificial-ness of it -even though so many other things (laminate/vinyl flooring, backsplash, tile etc are often artificial imitations of natural materials... Coincidentally I have a similar space with a similar colored chimney (which in my case is entirely artificial as my fireplace is electric lol) Wonderful video, I enjoyed your humor and detail.

Wow
