Glad to see that your shoulder is all healed up Johnny! Those were some really great tips & that shiplap wall looks amazing! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@craftedworkshop]

It's getting there! Still can't lift over 10 lbs with my left arm according to the doc but certainly a lot better than a month ago!

[@Q.7]

Great to see you are doing well.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hey, thanks!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

So glad to see you healed up and back at it. Thanks for sharing yet another project with us... I feel like you might be playing catch up for a while - you won't get any complaints from me.

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely playing some catch up but thankfully that'll probably mean more videos for y'all, as I have been doing more editing in the downtime. Thanks!

[@Applez357]

I’m so glad you’re back Johnny!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks, glad to be back!

[@donaldpowell7762]

You should send Jamie and Eric the clip starting at about 12:36. 😂 Great video. Thank you for the tips and welcome back.

[@craftedworkshop]

They love vacuuming walls, hah! Thanks!

[@MrHotlucas]

Glad to see you doing better. I’ll be hitting up your shop soon.

[@LoganLovell]

Stoked that you're back to "normal". Actually have a small shiplap project coming up in a few months so this was well timed!

[@macedindu829]

"As you might remember." Ain't no one that old! ;)

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks a bunch for all the tips, Johnny! 😃 It's great to see you without that freaking thing! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! You too!

[@ZackPyle]

If you ignore tip 4, you could also start at the top and work your way down with your "sliver" ending at the bottom underneath your trim

[@craftedworkshop]

True!

[@idontthinkso666]

In hindsight--beeeeeyooootiful! @@craftedworkshop

[@ilanmagen]

I wonder what kind of hole filler your Pa us ?

[@JakobStrasser]

Welcome back!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Jakob!

[@paulschreiber]

Did you consider the window location when ripping the bottom strip? If you had made it a bit narrower, you could have avoided one set of notches. (Or would that have made the piece too thin?)

[@craftedworkshop]

I was mostly considering the topmost row, as the boards around the bookcase openings will be covered with trim anyway.

[@jasonmarshall819]

Glad ur back

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks, me too!

[@EonOne867]

Heeeeeee's back!

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@billybike57]

Welcome back!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@darrensaliva]

Why do you nail the panels on the face vs in the rabbet joint to keep from having to fill the nail holes later? I've never done shiplap before so just curious.

[@craftedworkshop]

I suppose you could but I worried about splitting. Definitely something I should have tried!

[@danielkirkhart]

This ! Did my fire place with the shiplap that has a true tongue and grove and no nails shown on the face except the first and last board.

[@dianemanderochio7737]

Fast forward to tip 11 he used 1/4 round. That may work??

[@the_jonathan_o]

Could you please get a Milwaukee M18 wall holder in Craft 3D, please?

[@washinthewind]

Shout out to the CraftDad Workshop segment!

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, that's great!

[@locke3141]

Instead of outlet extenders, if you happen do have the chance to change out boxes, adjustable boxes would be so much better. lets you dial it in at a turn of a screw. Great option. If replacing boxes isnt an option, the extensions work great.

[@craftedworkshop]

That is definitely a great option, just a little more involved for the non-electrically inclined folks.

[@titosrevenger]

You didn't randomize your pattern though?

[@craftedworkshop]

I realized, after looking back at the footage, that my pattern wasn't as random as I thought, hah!

[@DozIT]

@@craftedworkshop it’s tricky when you want them to meet studs, random only means 10 or so options for joints!

[@craftedworkshop]

@@DozIT definitely true!

[@jlm08742]

First and last courses not equal, gotta double check that math!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Once I spaced the first row off enough to be level, it ended up essentially equal.

[@jlm08742]

@craftedworkshop the course above the base and last course is what I'm referring to. I always make sure those are equal even if they're not a full board.

[@milt7348]

Stay safe.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@dl_97201]

Speaking of outlets at the end of your video, I notice there is at least one outlet that is behind the new wall. If you are not relocating it to be inside the shelves and you have not disconnected the outlets from power (which you really should if they are not easily accessible), then you need to put plastic child-caps in each socket. The chances of something like dust or debris or rodents getting in there and causing a jump are low, but not zero. You need to put something non-conductive in there to limit that risk.

[@craftedworkshop]

The outlets behind the wall will be in use, as this will be an electronics closet for all of my networking and audio gear. But good tip!

[@GarySixSixty]

welcome back…careful on that bike….for now on…

[@craftedworkshop]

For sure!

[@cup_and_cone]

RIP HVAC vent.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, there's another vent directly outside the new wall, the vent inside will help keep all of the electronic equipment I'll be storing in the new hidden closet cool!

[@brotesser1]

Why are you building a wall with windows in what seems to be a living room?

[@jeffrogers2180]

It appears the van hasn't been used in a while.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, we had to let the air out of the tires to get it into the shop to work on it!

[@jeffrogers2180]

@@craftedworkshop oh that's right, I forgot.

[@feefifobum715]

I dont like floor trim that is flat on the top. it collects dust that needs to be specifically cleaned and the robot vacuum doesnt get it.

[@craftedworkshop]

I could definitely see that. I personally hate edge profiles on trim, but to each their own!

[@c.a.g.1977]

6:03 Here i have to disagree, I consider covering your butt-joint always as good advice. No, wait, that was 'butt crack'. Good to see you up and about again Johnny!

[@craftedworkshop]

😂 unless you're a plumber, of course!

[@yossid422]

Ya

[@BoilerFPV]

Scarf joints between boards helps to make the joints less noticeable as the wood swells and shrinks. I think butt joints are ugly and look amateurish.

[@kbstone]

Pop-up advertising is so annoying

[@bigvegass]

Then dont watch the free content..whiney lil

[@apdj94]

That’s great advice, I won’t!

[@IceSedale]

Oh brother

[@craftedworkshop]

It's how I make a living.

[@nickb.237]

Dude if you KNEW you were doing a big baseboard, why didn't you just leave that 0.19 of a board gap on the bottom and have all full boards exposed??

[@bobbyj0708]

I know opinions are like assholes but I think it's a big mistake to not use longer length boards to avoid butt joints when you can. As a builder it makes me a little crazy when a see homes with fascia and such that has short pieces scabbed in when they could have just used a longer length board. I really think as time goes by you're going to look at the butt joints on that wall and kick yourself for not doing what you could to avoid them because let's be honest, they stick out like a sore thumb. Ditto with your baseboard also, you should have used a longer length (nd probably taken a little more care with the joints at the ends. I wouldn't have spaced them either, I'd probably have put a couple biscuits in them and installed them tight. Sorry to be so negative, it's just that I have a real issue with unnecessary butt joints.

[@craftedworkshop]

No problem with disagreeing, that's the cool thing about making stuff, you can do it your own way! I agree, it would look great without the butt joints. That said, now that the wall is painted and finished out, the butt joints all but disappear and the bookcases are the real focal point. Also, this wall will have a TV on it, so a lot of the joints will be covered.

[@bigwhite7]

Are you getting a divorce and don't live at the HOA house anymore

[@craftedworkshop]

Nope, still happily married! This living space is at my shop, where the previous owner lived. I now use it as office space and want to get it looking a little nicer.

[@bigwhite7]

​@@craftedworkshopok good to hear. I think it's how you word it lol
