DIY Fireplace Remodel Pt 4: Living Room Complete!

[@themangler555]

Great job, u need a bigger tv tho

[@BanditHeroTV]

same thing I was thinking. 70 inch at least

[@spencerwilton5831]

Teddy Bean in the UK the size of a persons television is inversely proportional to their place in the class system. Drive through any council estate after dark (keep your doors locked) and through the dirty living room windows you will see enormous televisions dominating the whole room. Those higher up the social scale prefer their TV's discreet, or better still consigned to a different room.

Lucky wife! Every woman needs a handy guy like this in her life! Great job and nice finishing touches!

Best fireplace/mantle makeover on KZbin. Legit.

[@shym9933]

Very impressive, your wife and family must be so proud of you.

[@rbilardo47]

Great Job on the Kitchen and Fireplace. You are very talented.

[@daniellegauna8514]

I watched all 4 parts....only to be told at the end of your video that it doesn't matter because it's not going to be a working fireplace???!!!!!! All of that love, sweat, and work......and it's not going to be a working fireplace? AY DIOS MIO I still think your work is beautiful, I love how meticulous you are. Very detailed in your work.

[@aarontate1861]

Your work and attention to detail is inspiring 😊

[@icarus0823]

great work! you're a little GENIUS!

[@ShaileenandKurt]

Just watched all of these videos. Love how thorough you were throughout. Looks great. Keep up the great work.

[@glammaof3871]

Same here!😊 12/18/19

[@annegreen2394]

While looking at ideas for minimalist fireplace mantel decor I saw your 1st video and decided to check it out. I got hooked and watched all 4. You are so detail oriented and precise and my goodness the transformation was beautiful. Totally enjoyed watching these.

[@johnglasheen]

Looks great! It should have some venting for the devices. Probably a thermostatic fan as well. All the gizmos will produce heat.

[@wall_to_wall]

You did a great job. I can tell so much thought and planning went into this project. Wonderful job!

[@tgcrissy7327]

Very nice work.I love your patience for a young man experimenting with hinges,it payed off in the end.

[@rachelbyrd1568]

You killed this sir I tip my hat off to you. you got mad skills beautiful outcome

[@julianadams5753]

Absolutely beautiful! I like the clean, far from cluttered look of the room and the walls.

[@evamackay3535]

Julian Adams nah that’s just empty

[@eat_this2565]

Awesome Ben. Look great.

[@pastda3]

Totally impressed with the transformation. It looks great. Nice work. 👍

[@WatersandWilderness]

Well, I wish I had married a man with your skills years ago. You have not only done the job, but you have done it wonderfully.

[@RowdyLowdy]

Wonderful job. Nice to see a couple work together to achieve their goals. My only gripe is that the TV is a little high but of course a bigger TV will fill that space nicely.

[@gottria]

Great video and beautiful piece of work. That thing is big.

[@cherpierre8595]

You did an awesome job

[@lezleydouglass7771]

Dude! You should sell those on Amazon! Beautiful and clever👍

[@universalask]

I really liked it without the mantle, but great job in general.

[@MrAkosFintor]

I watched all 4 episodes. God damn man! Nice work

[@philipmorehouse1069]

Wow! Great job Ben.

[@joannenardoni17]

You are very talented

[@thistledownwoodcraft3426]

I watched all 4, really good job. If I may, MDF works better if you are going to paint it, flatter, no bleed and no knots. Also, I see some blotches on the stain. This comes from different density of the fibers. A light coat of shellac, then sanded, then stained will give you an even finish. Of course, you may like the light/dark look. Again, great job.

[@cyrillamat4888]

This is so much better than the previous situation ! Good job man, keep up the good work !

[@TheMalcomT]

I'm binge watching your videos. You're an impressive young man.

[@l.w.c.2519]

Can you give us some details on the hinges? I’ve been looking for some, none I can find give a zero clearance closing like you demonstrated here, would love to find these! Thanks!

[@rubendawn7478]

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!!

[@richardrich4320]

Another great video - You can tell Ben likes doing all this - I'm the same ....doing "projects" like these relax me after being at work all day long ...well done man !

[@andoriagems]

BEAUTY takes WORK... I so love it

[@tbagsha]

great job! Looks so much better!

[@haciendadad]

Very nice result! I want to do that too, but I just don't have the time , your video does encourage me to try it though.

[@nirmal6632]

Now that's talent 👏

[@rvvrn]

Did a similar job years ago but not nearly as detailed as yours Great job, I know it must be great sitting it that room admiring your work!

[@JVonD88]

This has been fun to watch. Came out amazing. Wish I had these carpentry skills.

[@johnstup4479]

Awesome job! Great looking and functional all at the same time. 👍

[@torodatruth]

6:27 ok... its looking real good now! looked a little heavy at first but seeing it whole like that makes me jealous I don't have something similar to work with.

[@zinmot5457]

Great job man!

[@aequitas0118]

awesome job on this man!!! really enjoyed watching you go through the entire process!

[@orietbardot1534]

Well done!

[@ikennanw]

Damn. I watch it all!!!!!!!!

[@gingerlee184]

Just googled floating TV stand. I decided to buy that.

[@jeffforbes3772]

New to your channel...great project and series. Thanks for sharing.

[@virginiaguadiano4335]

Great work with such precision and love built into your fireplace mantel.

[@fossil-bit8439]

That turned out great!

[@libramagyk]

Brilliant design..great work

[@honeycat535]

Wow, this is an incredible project, you are quite the genius at this work! Congrats ! Now to try and find someone to do this for my house, i have an awful red brick fireplace and would like to have screen to play games above a beautiful mantle. i think its going to take at least two men!

[@TheCandidCritic]

Great build; just need a tv twice as big now!

[@FciscoOrtiz]

Very impressed skills. Great 👍🏿 job

[@dazzlealec3592]

The opening and closing works really well, but to me it seems like it could use a few doorstoppers or felts to reduce sound and wear. Great job as always though :)

[@christopherbeber582]

DazzleAlec then it wouldn’t sit flush🙄, which is what he’s going for!

[@Beck-Stein]

That’s a good idea on the mantel. We are doing the same and we had no idea where to place the Xbox.

[@ZackPyle]

Great job. Fit and finish look fantastic. But why does everyone insist on putting TVs over the fireplace? It's WAY too high for normal viewing... I think HGTV designers started doing this and everyone continued the trend.

[@bobnewman1810]

IMHO, because it's so space efficient that it's worth the compromise. Another factor is the many web sites that advocate mounting the TV at a height based on eye level fail to take into account that people often recline when watching, rather than sitting bolt upright.

[@Jessa8891]

I disagree. We prefer to have our tv up higher.

[@ZackPyle]

It's also bad for the tv to have heat rising up to it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mdsretouch]

I’ve been doing this in my sims games for years, it just looks more put together to me 😂

[@moehio]

Spot on. But the trend is not going anywhere... its time developers and builders start making much lower profile fireplaces to compensate.

[@TexPR1]

Really amazing job! That is so beautiful!

[@k6439]

Great work mate 👍

[@brunoangel4556]

Great 👍 job

[@craigs66]

really nice job, well explained

[@brandencox17]

Love it going to have to do something like this in my house what a great turn out!

[@fgjf1079]

Great job, man...

[@jeanniealford4234]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!

[@richardmoore7259]

You did an awesome job on that fire place wall and mantle. I might hire you to do that for me. LoL 😂

[@dougdiplacido2406]

My back hurts from you stooping over while working. A set of sawhorses will keep you young longer. Your fireplace and mantle looks fantastic. Great job.

[@jennybaez-cepeda4919]

Dude awesome job!!!!! Enjoy the video

[@kitralco3quitralco183]

Excelente trabajo 👏👏👏👍🙋‍♂️

[@SuperBigsal]

Looks great

[@jamesmartello1]

As usual, it came out just beautiful! I really love what ya'll are doing at my future California digs. LOL! BTW, my wife and I never got around to putting a fireplace cover on our old fireplace. She put plants and candles in there. It always looked kinda pretty. Just a temporary thought for your wife.

[@vickiedreamin590]

Beautiful work!

[@mohammedalbaker8963]

Fantastic

[@streamingwithangelo3793]

DAM!!!! BEST......THX!

[@zharston]

Amazing work! Could you link the hinges/Rockler gadget for the mantel door?

[@ummik8336]

Omg those Nintendo with the thing on the top. So nostalgic

[@jamesswanson1915]

Great job. If possible, you should convert your fireplace to gas. You would love it!

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

Wow you need a stereo receiver with hdmi switching! 😂 that’s a lot of cables!

[@chriswhite6882]

good job bro

[@JeffJohnsonMarkIV]

Thanks for the inspiration. Need a receiver. Less cables to the TV.

[@TheElectricMayhem]

This has been SUPER helpful. I just finishing up my mantle and have reached the door phase. Could you provide the type and brand of hinge you settled on? The ones I bought are giving me the same grief as the first set you tried.

[@ollienamikazi2650]

I want a build like this awesome vid

[@theblueheart3834]

If I were you, I would put lights under the mantle to illuminate shade above the fireplace. But it does look gorgeous.

[@kevmcmill1]

Ben - I'm making a very similar thing and want to do exactly what you did regarding the hinges (being flush on the bottom). Do you remember what specific hinges you used? I narrowed it down to "frameless cabinet hinges" but there are still several variations from there.

[@bebetigre1252]

amazing how u work

[@GiordyTR]

I’m remodeling my fireplace too and that could be something I will make. so I really appreciate if you give some update about the heat coming out from so many things connected in so small space.

[@BenTardif]

There’s very little heat being produced regularly. If I’m playing a video game I’ll have the door open anyway. No heat issues so far and it’s been a few months now

[@franckbosch1808]

Very nice indeed. Thumb up from me ;-)

[@firepilot17]

Great idea but you are going to have problems with heat with all those electronics, especially if you use the fireplace. I’m going to guess the mantle door will be open a lot. You’ll have to mount an exhaust fan to one end and put some ventilation holes on the other. Looks great though! Agree with other posters on TV size. You’ll be altering that soon too!

[@clarkstone-bear7742]

I think its a little to much white for my taste. But that's just my opinion. With that being said, it looks really nice man. Great job. And the Mantle came out top teir bad ass!!!

[@mattschultz8462]

Exactly what I'm thinking of building but I'm wondering about air flow to units inside, do you have any over heating problems or do you leave the front open when playing?

[@BenTardif]

I leave it open while playing mainly so there’s no interference between controller and console. Wifi router is in there with it closed and haven’t had an overheating issue

[@steventartamella454]

Yeah, definitely need a bigger TV :-), maybe a 75" Great work.

[@jorgeplascencia08]

great....job

[@elvillian]

Nice 👊

[@ejjensen24]

Awesome! Well done 👏🏻. Do you have links for the hinges and door supports you used?

[@steves_garage]

I'm doing basically the same thing in our family room and was wondering which particular hinges you used. I'm using 1x red oak and want the 'flush' look as well. It looks like the Everbuilt soft close full overlay hinges, but I wanted to be sure.

[@BenTardif]

That sounds about right. “Full overlay” is the term to look for.

[@jeanhenry6925]

so pretty

[@Dani-ol8gw]

Amazing job! My husband and I just bought our first home and our fireplace needs much needed makeover. Your video has been by far the best as how we can do this ourselves. Question, if you were to use the fire place and having the TV mounted over it, would the mantle protect it from the heat?

[@BenTardif]

We did this project knowing we’d never use the fireplace because of the electronics right above it

[@xingoo4435]

Really nice build, love it! But with that size of a wall. You need at least 75" TV or a lazer projector 😄

[@venusrodriguez9645]

Does you cable equipment over heat?

[@amyrausch499]

How did you hide the nail holes? Wood putty?

[@macschultz7054]

Can you link the hinges you used?

[@doo21leroux]

Does the signal actually go through the wood ok for your gaming consoles? I'm wanting to do the same type of thing but unsure if the signal will still go through.
