I appreciate the perspective on handling big logs versus average size. I made a ceiling with T & G pine. I chose to put all the seams in one row, and cover the seam with a beveled piece of pine on the surface. I can email a picture to you, it turned out well! But personally I'm working to work with lumber about 1 1/4" thick, 3/4 thick lumber seems a bit too bendy, but I appreciate the thin and light weight on a ceiling. By the way, I put screws through the surface of boards when installing them. I find trim nails just wont hold the board as well, and there's no better way to place the screw than centered through the face. People are shocked by using screws in lumber, but it's strong, and if all screws are predrilled and coutnersunk to flush, it looks good for years and years beyond squeaking nails.
We appreciate you watching, and when we installed the pine boards for the ceiling. I was so glad we did 1/2 boards. It was so much easier to lift up and hold. Not so much a long board that required some help but for the most part. We’re very satisfied with how light it was to hold above are head. We used a Milwaukee 30 degree frame nailer. Done a perfect job. We just stuck the nailer where the tongue was & nailed it all the way down.
@@firewaterfarmsawmill I get what you mean about lightweight ceiling. I had to cut the 12 foot boards to 6 feet because I couldn't hold up both ends. making rows with 6 footers was nice. I prefer screws always now, but good to hear you were able to nail on the half inch pine ceiling. Cool project!
