How To Build A Mantel

[@upwardendeavor9395]

Idk what’s more impressive the quality of your projects or the quality of your videos they’re both outstanding

getting ready to do a project where I need to remove the existing mantel and completely redo it. I'm a complete DIY beginner and learn everything I know from youtube videos. THIS WAS THE BEST I'VE SEEN. Thanks so much!!!!

@@TMPK Just curious how the paint holds up on the mdf joints. Would think over time a line would come through.

[@TMPK]

@@wesrobinson7366 if you get it sanded well the first time it hides the lines. But I think the end side of the MDF does absorb the paint different than the surface so a light sanding after the first coat might help with that. My personal mantel in my house is about 4 years old now and I haven’t noticed lines showing yet. Just use the glue liberally lol

This guy is so funny and talented. It was a little annoying at first because I’m always in such a hurry to see the finished product, however the video was so entertaining to watch it sort of helped me to just be more patient all the way to the end. This video was so thought out and strategically arranged I would give it an A+ for entertainment and educational value. Great work!

@@luisasantin4989 no, I never know what to charge for new things either. What I do is try to estimate how long it will take me and then multiply that times $50 per hour labor.

I watched the part where you were doing the actual cuttings, but I still could not figure out how you placed the work piece. I will appreciate any help.

[@dangatto8666]

How did you cut the crown molding laying down on the chop saw. I thought it had to be upside down and backwards. Love the video.

[@TMPK]

I still haven’t made a how to crown mold video but cutting it flat is just another way. You’re ending up with the same cut but you’re beveling the saw and turning the miter. That’s a compound cut. If the room has all 45° corners you set the saw once and never move it again. You only flip the crown on its back or face. There’s also different types of crown, one sits on the wall and ceiling at 45° and one sits at 38°, pretty weird but that means different angles for each kind.

[@stephenwilson1960]

Jared, you inspired me to build this and I am just finishing up construction and thinking about painting the mantle surround. There is a lot of discussion on the best way to seal MDF to prevent swelling and prep for paint, so I thought I would ask the expert. What do you recommend? Thanks

[@TMPK]

I wish I knew! I’d just start with a primer and end with a semi-gloss. I don’t paint often but in my limited experience with painting mdf, it takes several coats, like at least 4. With light sanding in between coats. It’s not fun but it turns out so pretty 👌

Hahaha comment award

[@vincebingham]

I disagree. The nail gun was hardly vertically aligned with the given tempo and meter of the selected music repertoire. I’d be impressed if he could do that. I have a degree in music and I can’t make any of my pneumatic nailers work to be reliable percussion instruments. Maybe my battery powered Ryobi. That thing makes a better percussion instrument than it does a nailer. In all serious, It took me a few watches to get over the eccentricities of the video. Not my cup o’ tea. However, After 19 watches of the video and paying attention, I did build a kick ass fireplace. It is the best fireplace surround on KZbin. Thank You!

Not sure if you are still answering questions about this video, but how do you determine the angle cut for the small inside trim on decorative boxes? I have followed this video all the way and I'm stuck! Do you flip trim over upside down?

Those are 90° angles, so 45° cuts. If you’re stuck on the base cap inserts, the crown mould is gonna be terrible 😬😅

Thank you for the video. We have followed your instructions and we are at the point of adding the coving. We only have a mitre cutting block with a 45-degree angle and we are super confused about how to do the 35 degree angle with a 30 degree bevel without the correct equipment. Does it have to be a 35 degree angle or would a simple 45 degree angle suffice? It looks fantastic thank you so much for the superb high quality video; best on KZbin.

[@TMPK]

Thanks! That’s a tough one to explain in text. I would recommend searching “how to cut crown molding on mitre box” or something like that. There’s an “upside down & backwards” method for those who don’t have the compound angle saw. You would set the crown, upside down the way it would be sitting as if your box was the ceiling/wall corner, then simply cut it on a 45° angle

[@Imankz745]

It came out very nice! Good job!! Can you give dims of your projects . My husband and I want to replicate your design . Thank you

[@TMPK]

thanks! I always build the mantel specific to what size the wall and fireplace are. I normally like 6 inches from the fireplace box to the legs and 12 inches from the top of the fireplace box to the bottom of the mantel. And if the legs are 10 inch wide, I would make the part below the crown also 10 inches. The top is normally 2 inch thick and goes 5 inch each way off the left and right, and 5 inches off the front. But I guess that depends on crown size. I use a 5 1/4 crown. I’m sure someone online has similar plans if you need them, but it’s mostly a freestyle every time.
