Thank you so much for showing the cracks! I can't handle DIYers who show their "perfect" work so everyone else can copy it and wonder what they did wrong... But sorry I don't know the answer to your cracks :D But I will definitely watch more of your videos!
Beautiful job. I see that Im a couple years behind, but im getting ready to tackle this job and I have two questions. I see that you used pocket hole screws that connect the short boards to the long board, but the short board to the wall is my mystery. @ time 1:44 (Paused), the short board that's touching the wall, How is that end attached and what is it screwed into? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I used pocket holes to attach those short boards to the wall as well. I *think* I checked to see that I was screwing into studs but I can’t be sure. It’s not the most structurally safe in that case so make sure you’re applying some sort of adhesive like liquid nails to the underside of the board and attach to the long boards with pocket holes. Hope that helps 😬
Hey there. Bondo good choice. What kind of texture should I go with for 8x12 dining room portion having popcorn throughout rest of ceiling. Planning to coffer around perimeter of this portion too perhaps add few 4-6” holes with trim that LED strip or rope lighting behind crown molding could shine through or us recessed downlights. Also considered using faux decor ceiling tiles in this area and have a 22” chandelier with medallion to use above it centered in room Thx 🎉
Well done TS. Joinery is an art in itself given woods tendency to expand and contract with the seasons. MDF is far less prone to movement, and a flexible filler helps prevent seams from opening up. Just steer clear of products like epoxy, Bondo and Durhams.
Use Paintable DAP to fill those cracks then touch up paint and you’ll be perfect ! I specialize in finish work ! 😉
thanks a ton!
I dont know if Bondo is an acrylic but you need a mix with silicon for movement cracks. Caulking for crown molding is a premium blend of those 2.

SUPER AWESOME, How is the build holding up in 2023
holding up great! Thank you!
Great job! Do you recommend the crown moulding you used?
Thank you! Yes the specific crown that I used is listed in the full blog post (link in the description.)
