gotta admit.... your narration was pretty darn funny!!! [Greg, Garden Grove, CA usa]

I think these turned out amazing! Great job! One observation (don’t mean to be a critic) but maybe to make the add on pieces at the end a little less obvious, maybe you could have glued the extra length to the end before adding the joint compound and faux wood grain and then staining it all at once. That way the grain lines wouldn’t get disrupted by the joint compound and the stain would be more consistently applied. Yours really did turn out amazing!

the carpet is for a reason.. but yeah, spending 40 hours using drift wood taken from a waterfront, which is illegal in a lot of cities, is another option

👍 Great video - I’m just about to start almost the exact type of project so it answered a few questions I’ve been wondering about. I’d love to get ahold of those hinge templates files.

"I dont really like the cat anyways" Yeah I used to say that about my sweetheart when she was young and rebellious, then when she passed it felt like I lost a daughter of college age.

This is to date, the best hidden door video on YT I've seen.

I thought this was a great video. I never had the inclination to install such beams but I always thought in the back of my head when I've seen them that they sold something similar somewhere already prefabed and finished ready to hang.

Heck yeah ! Looks awesome!

If you look real close at most coffee shops and places like restaurants that are new buildings you may notice that they do not have brick or solid finishes on the exterior. Instead they are using foamboard that have a skim coat of colored spackling applied to them. If you ping a lit cigarette at it, it'll melt right in. Being a millworker/ woodworker contractor for a lot of years, we've done many faux beams and columns and sills, etc. I cannot judge this work because I don't trust pictures of work. (even though they say a picture tells a thousand words). If I see things up close in real life with my own eyes and not in a picture or video, then I can see the truth, but that's just my eye and professionalism. I like your creativity and I think you are talented. It does look good, from here, but I'd be concerned on how easily it can be damaged, and for me that's warranty work. (we like to build things durable that'll last for years). What if the next guy wants to paint it and bumps it, damaging the fragile product. Man would they be upset. Still, It caught my eye. So props for that. But now I have to go out and get a burrito because you made me hungry. Good Job! Great video!!

Awesome work! I love Larry David! He’s pretty, pretty, pretty good!

🎉looks great But what does it look like with the door opened? I have a corner of my bedroom that has three doors and would LOVE to the final look you got

Amazing execution. I have to assume you are somewhat artistic or do some sort of artist work for employment? The knots and grain look amazing

Yuck

Nice. I would have removed the return vent cover…painted the inside and run the slats right over it. Good work.

The fire pit is too large, or the fire too small- this is why it is not smokeless.

Love it…would like to do the same thing at my home. Thank you for making the video!

you probably spend more on materials than you would have on a couple years worth of electricity from that draft.

This is great!! I’m currently in the middle of the exact same project. I’ve been avoiding the hinge installation because I’m terrified I’m going to mess up the door. I 3D printed spacers to keep the boards level, but never thought to print up a router guide for the hinge alignment. Such a good idea!

From a distance it looks perfect and impressive,well done! I’d probably have incorporated a skirting board with hidden up lighting and mirrored the same up to the ceiling. Those dark gaps are excellent for hiding led strips. Lighting will transform it into another dimension. Well, you did ask. 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😇

Done that 30 years ago.

Awesome video man. Very creative!

What is the purpose of the light switch innthe middle of the wall? Did you think about flipping it around so it is used from the opposite side and you dont interrupt the slat side?

Why's your TV not centered

Looks great! I have seen a few of these walls and am always curious how much of a pain they are to dust/clean long term.

Thank you for sharing all your tips and mistakes!!!!! 👏🫶❤

Great job! It looks good! I can not imagine holding real wood beams over my head!

So essentially just use crack filler and then paint over it

Bro has the same exact garbage disposal but it was much more dirty🤔🤔

Did you show which paint color you used?

I am a finish trim carpenter, and have built faux beams of various complexity for my GC's clients and I can assure you that they pay (him, not me) a lot more than a few hundred dollars for a whole room! I watched this because I like seeing creative and frugal solutions. It's very impressive for a DIY homeowner! I'm about to build a few beams for my own house, and I'm not sure if I will do this myself, mostly to avoid the ridicule and shaming when my boss comes over to see the finished house that I've been working on for almost two years! Clever idea! 😎

very nice idea and workmanship. However in most jurisdictions, exposed polystyrene foam can't be left uncovered due to its toxic smoke if there is a fire. If it is exposed in an occupied space, it must be covered by wood, gypsum, or cement. . My building inspector nailed me on that. I learned the hard way.

Wow

Great work ! I have same.idea but in my case the door is inward. So you have any suggestions if the door.opens other way ? Please advise. Your video will be my referrence

Very cool! If I get brave enough to attempt this - I may use some joist hangers to sell the illusion. Well done, Sir!

Why wouldn’t you just stick the needle nose down into the drain while it’s all still connected?It’s basically the same difference without the extra work.

Great video. I would like to try something like this, but how would you go about calculating the distance for the door and end up with equal slats the whole way over the wall.

Best hidden door on YT. Loved your video.

was this a 2022 Kitchen Aid ..dishwasher

La barbaridad de malas decisiones que tomo😅, muy gracioso el video, se disfrutó

You’re a wizard harry!

Oof. Thanks for sharing the stain drama. Solid tip

thank you

wow looks amazing!!

Amazing

Ok i need 13

Perfect loop 😳🔥

I love this project if like to do it for two side by side doors, one is a ventilating door for the air conditioning inflow. What could I do to hide it but have proper air inflow to the air handler?

they look amazing!

Couldn't live with that switch not being centered

What door.. we dont need no door..😂❤
