  • Shiplap may seem like a new fad, but it has actually been around for ages. It serves a very real and practical purpose and in this video, I explain what that purpose is and how to build it. Also, did you know that there are 2 different types of Shiplap? In the video I will also explain what they are and how to build each.

    Shiplap also looks good running vertically especially used as wainscoting. Really enjoy your channel 👍

    I don’t think it’s all the rage that it used to be, but it’s not going anywhere. It’s a timeless look. I love using it vertically in my remodels.

    The hundred+ year-old home we restored on the Mendocino coast 30 years ago has 1X10 "channel bevel shiplap" redwood siding. It was a common siding choice in this area back in the day. We had to replace some of it during restoration. The edge profiles were cut by a local re-saw mill that had the shaper knives to do it. I shudder to think what it would take to try to get that kind of siding today. Thanks for the video!

    @1:06 Pretty sure the image of the red home was utilizing Bevel lapping instead of Shiplap; you can see a significant amount of the bottom of the siding. Shiplap has become such a hot style it's often confused with other methods like Bevel or Clapboard.

    I made some one time using 1/2” plywood cut into 8” strips then cut the rabits on my table saw.
    It was a lot more work than I thought it would be but my wife and daughter loved it so it was worth it

    • @DIYwithDave

      ALL of my projects are a lot more work than I originally anticipate, but you're right; what matters is if the people it is made for really enjoy it.

      I did the same thing, but am putting it on the ceiling of our old farmhouse kitchen. I didn't find it to be any trouble at all to make on my table saw with a dado blade. It was easy.

    I don't think shipman is as popular as it was but I still like it for utility/laundry areas, finishing off attic spaces and garages.

      I prefer tongue and groove pine indoors, stained or painted. Sometimes I install it at 45 degrees as an accent wall.

    As someone who makes true shiplap every week and sometimes daily, it's a great material for walls and ceilings. It's not cheap to make but for the rustic look, people will pay.

      I'm building a barn/workshop with a finished 2nd floor. I'm planning to condition the space but I don't want to have to keep it conditioned all the time. Due to this I don't really want to clad the ceiling or walls with drywall. I have a sawmill and plenty of trees. I have a lot of pine logs ready to be used but also need to clear a bunch of sweetgum. Any thoughts on whether or not I could use sweetgum? My studs and joists are in 24" centers. I also have a bunch of sturdy R fiberglass faced insulation panels I had considered putting up first then gluing the shiplap to that, in addition to nailing though that may be overkill. I had also considered putting the sturdy R up first, painting it black, then doing faux shiplap on top of that. Seems like I'd spend a lot of time cutting the laps either with a router or dado blade. Any thoughts are welcome.

    I have bought a house that was built in 1859. I have begun pulling the paneling off to reveal amazing dark wood ship lap. However, one place has a gap/ hole that I need to figure out how to fix. What are your suggestions without having to put ugly paneling back up??

    Does fake shiplap come in separate strips or in a whole sheet like plywood or paneling? And can I get it at Home Depot or Lowe’s?

  • @Laguna2013
    @Laguna2013 6 місяців тому

    can I pull off my old yellow stained knotty pine vertical paneling and have it milled into shiplap that I can reinstall horizontally? Come to think to it, why would one install panelling horizontal vs vertical? Thanks!

  • @mikehenthorn1778
    @mikehenthorn1778 Рік тому

    ok we have got to be real here , ship lap works because jute was added to the joint that kept the joint water tight. when the wood moved the jute would follow suit and keep it dry ( ok ish earth sauce will always find a way to get in your boat. ) . house and barns would be well protected.

    Thanks for the interesting history! I think shiplap is just a trend made by a trendy show by the trendy chip and Joanna Gaines. Obviously it was something used in Old homes just as here on the East Coast we had what they are now calling skinny shiplap. Would love to learn more about it but what I see is just skinny boards with some type of mud or something to fill in the gaps to prevent the wind blowing through. Doesn't really work after a while lol I lived in a house with it and you could feel the wind blowing right through the side of the house. Anyway, it had its purpose in its day and that day is gone. Now it is a trend that is so overdone it makes me want to vomit. Not that it's bad just that everybody copies everybody else. Folks, use your imagination! There are so many beautiful subtle or dynamic wall treatments that can be used as opposed to shiplap, same thing your neighbor and everyone else is slapping up. Have you all seen the ship like where they just draw lines on white sheetrock? When I first saw that I thought this is ridiculous! I guess I am one of those people who steer away from anything trendy. I would rather have something that I love and is unusual then something everyone else has. Not trying to say I'm better than anyone else by any means feel I might just think differently than the masses. Would love to learn more about why shift lab and skinny shiplap was put in homes. I'm guessing it was an insulating thing that like I said didn't work too well or at least doesn't anymore LOL but please make another video and tell us why! Thank you, enjoyed that

    Why do some people put a gap between boards when it’s true shiplap, and some don’t? Just an aesthetics choice?

    • @DIYwithDave
      @DIYwithDave  11 місяців тому +2

      If it's true shiplap, you don't need to put a space. The space will develop naturally as the wood moves with the seasons.

    Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.
