   Sweet to get a comission like that. You also doing the rough framing for the drywall?

1. 
   brisketbean | Dec 17, 2004 08:36am | #5

   yes we will frame and drywall the ceiling. there won't be any rough framing though.

   Pierre1 | Dec 17, 2004 08:59am | #6

   Neat. So you'll do your own backing. I've always enjoyed reading the FHB articles on coffered ceilings, vaults, arches, eyebrow dormers and whatnot. I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see the whole process. Is there a special 1/2" drywall or do you plan on misting it first?

   brisketbean | Dec 17, 2004 04:09pm | #10

   standard 1/2" drywall, i have a bending machine that i use.

   ''Bending Machine'' Are you kidding or is that for real? What does it look like? How does it work?

5. 
   brisketbean | Dec 18, 2004 12:05am | #14

   yes, soon to be patent pending

   Woah! I'm looking forward to the framing pics!

   Get to work!

   Can I get you to do one of those in my shop?That looks neat enough to make you want to lie on your back in the center of the floor when finished to admire your work and just say "Wow!".DonThe GlassMasterworks - If it scratches, I etch it!

   I had to repair one like that once from storm damage, water caused 2/3 of it to fall on the floor. It has less vaults than that one though.

   I know I won't be alone on this, will be anxiously waiting for pixs.

   If you can, take some detailed pixs of the "rough" framing as you go along

   I'd  love to see how you go about doing this.

   Really enjoyed looking at your website, I think I like the 1 mudded picture the best.  It might be a good idea to lowercase your web address on your profile... have to do a round about.

   Amazing work.

   I guess I'm on ignore

   My appologies if that was for me, I think I may have turned off the comp before I saw your message.

   I looked it up and it is June 2004 JLC.

   Before Rez has a chance to complain about file size, I've shrunk it.

   Keep the pics coming, we have many pic junkies here.

   JohnT8 | Dec 27, 2004 06:53pm | #38

   will that work on pot bellies too?

   If so, I obviously haven't figured out HOW ;)

   And that ceiling is really starting to shape up nicely!  Keeeeeep the pics coming.

   Brisketbean,

   Please Please Please post some pics :-)  I would really love to see your work.  Please

   KeithNewton | Dec 26, 2004 10:20am | #33

   This does look like it will be a fun challenge. Will you be cutting the arcs for all of the framing, and have you got a jig for making the elliptical valleys".

   Keep them coming Brisketbean. I just saw part of a show on the discovery channel where they made a Ice Hotel and it looked like the lobby had a ceiling like the one your doing. I would like to see the show from the beginning because I was playing with my son so I'm sure they probably showed more of the ceiling.Joe Carola

   Simply amazing!!!!!!!!Do you care to share how much it cost to do a job like that?Or how long did it take?You framed and rocked this to, correct?

1. 
   brisketbean | Apr 02, 2005 10:34pm | #45

   it was mostly metal frame, and we sheeted it with  1/2" drywall, ( bent with my patent pending bender)  a 31 1/2" radius. I built the house and only worked on it intermittently , so i realy dont have much of a grasp on actual time spent, cost for a ceiling like that is around 15000.00 complete. The ceiling is a real knockout when you are standing in the room, photos, especially mine don't even begin to do it justice.

   I like those corners  , Kindof an illusion like those drawing of the three columns that end up as only two.

      Freaking heating and air guy insists on putting a vent in the middle of a work of art. I'm sure if it was a plain ceiling they would have wanted floor registers.
