Read it and watch it

See every tricky part before you try it.

The grain carving, the first coat of stain, the lift up onto the ceiling. Those are the moments people get nervous about. In the course you watch me do each one up close, then pause, rewind, and build right alongside. The written guide comes with it, so you can read the steps and see them done.

Questions before you build

Do I need experience?

No. If you can measure a line, cut foam with a knife, and hold a paintbrush, you can build these. Every step is written out and shown on video.

Are foam beams safe up there?

They are decorative, like trim. They screw up into wood blocks in your ceiling so they stay put, and they are light enough for one person with a helper.

How long does it take?

A weekend or two, and most of that is just waiting for glue and paint to dry.

What will it cost to build?

I built both of mine for around $150. The calculator gives you your exact number before you buy a thing.

Guide or course, what is the difference?

The course is the guide plus the videos. You read the steps and watch me do them, including the parts people worry about.

Do I get to keep it?

Yes. It is yours to keep and rewatch anytime.
