In this video I build a neat fireplace mantel that is installed over some vertical shiplap. I top it off with some crown molding and base molding. I show each step of the process and of course insert my really good dad jokes along the way.

This is the first comment I’ve ever written on this channel, but holy crap. Maybe sounds corny, but I grew up teaching myself how to be a finish carpenter and cabinet maker through KZfaq, and mikes channel has taught me so many of the things I know today, and has alway and will always be my favorite channel to watch. I now own a construction company that specializes in finish carpentry, and although not the only person I look up to, you’re definitely one of the people that I aspire to be in my career. I respect your work immensely, and look forward to whatever comes out next!Thank you so much for the content!

When I glue my miters I apply even coats on each piece and then I let it sit for 2 minutes by the clock. Usually most of the glue gets sucked in . I the apply one more coating of glure on one of the peice. This leaves more glue in the miter and I get a stronger bond.

Good info. I glue both sides and I do it kinda slow, attempting the same thing.

I really enjoy the precision and neatness of your shop and work. I'm heading out now to clean up my garage purely because I watched this vid. I'll also blast some gunners as a tribute. They were defiantly not a glam-rock band. Their songs told a story, glam is just big hair and repeat the same verse over and over and over. The bike shorts may have crossed the line though. "what we have here is a failure to communicate...🙂🤘

In my opinion Guns N' Roses probably started off as a hair/glam band but then evolved into a straight rock band. When Appetite and Lies came out, they had the look of glam, but the sound was much more complex and edgier than the hair bands of the day. By the time Illusion game out, they were totally hard rock. If the original lineup (including Izzy and either Matt or Steven on drums) had stayed together, I believe they would be as iconic in the rock scene as the Stones, Zeppelin or The Who. BTW, great build as usual!

Three quick comments. One, I've built a lot of stuff with MDF and oh do I hate MDF. Two, love the oh so subtle plug for the sanding disk. And three, I wish I could build and then let the painters paint. I always get stuck with that job too and its one of my least favorite. As always, the final product looks terrific. Excellent job.
@drmkiwi Жыл бұрын
Agree with you about using MDF and hating it. At one stage I vowed I'd never use the horrible dusty stuff again, but only a couple of years later I found I just couldn't justify staying away from it. It does have a lot of benefits. It's the dust and weight of the panels I abhor. Cheers, David

Mike, great build. I love tucking away all the pro tips you pepper your content with, dude. Also, I agree with the other commenters, and say that as a former and still-recovering Californian, G-n-R is not hair metal. They kinda defined their own niche when they got big. Also, it's hard to poof your hair and do stage makeup when you're that high. Still a G-n-R fan.
@MikeFarrington Жыл бұрын
Thank you. I agree. Feels like there was a point in history where GnR would have been called hair metal. Maybe 10 years ago. Today, I look back on them as a hard rock band.

I was surprised--after watching your vid on dust collection--that you didn't wear a mask while cutting MDF. However, I've found by experience that MDF dust and boogers make great nail hole filler! Always a pleasure to watch you work.

They played the hair metal band game that I’m sure their label told them to at first, but it didn’t last long. They sort of morphed into the leathery biker gang look later on. GREAT song btw.

I fondly remember a previous mantlepiece installation you filmed, complete with a moment of sheer panic... that you conveyed quite well (and silently!). Had something to do with gluing something out of order. I think of that moment whenever I see a mantle build. I gotta get me one of them spring-loaded nail-setter thingys. Quite tired of marring a carefully-created finish with hammer blows from missing the nail head.
