How to Build a Range Hood Cover

[@EmanuelYeotis]

Once again another Wood Shop Diaries masterpiece. I've said it before and I'll say it again, who is the best daughter? We all know the answer to that. Looking forward to you're next project.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha I'm sure I'm not the best daughter (that's probably my sister ha!), but I'm happy to help my parents out where I can. Thank you so much for watching and following along--I can't wait to share the next project soon!

[@Stratus41298]

Girl, I can't EVEN with those arms! Tickets to the gun show!

[@cliff5240]

You are a great daughter!! As always very nice job -- angles give me a headache :)

[@hannuhopiavuori]

Wow, you are awesome

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You're so kind. Thank you so much--I appreciate you watching!

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

This is absolutely beautiful! Your mom is going to really enjoy her kitchen. You always tackle the obstacles and win! Your parents are very special to you, garage update for dad and a beautiful kitchen for mom! Have a great weekend!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! They keep me busy with projects 😆 but I’m glad I can help sometimes. Thank you so much for watching and following along. I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well 🙌

Wow, stunningly beautiful and incredibly talented

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much for watching-I hope you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend!

[@pteddie6965]

You are exactly right, Peter. Shara is an outstanding designer and builder. I look forward to each week's project. Shara, thanks for this video. I love this hood. It's amazing.

[@aligned4good]

You are amazing! Thank you for showing all of us again, that anything you want can be figured out!

[@jasonthomas1760]

You have out done yourself yet again. Gorgeous build Shara! Love it, what color did you stain the wood? My deaf ears even after watching twice keep hearing "weathered soap"

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! And haha, I'm sorry about that--it's weathered OAK stain 😆 I can see where that would sound pretty similar to weathered soap ha!

[@robertm348]

I want to adopt you! (Your allowance will be dependent on you doing your chores...)

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha! You may regret that once you see how bad I am at doing the chores 🙈😂

[@jimgreenhouse214]

You are one amazing builder. This hood looks fantastic.

[@russelhaynes]

I didn’t think I liked it at first but you won me over by the end. Nice work 😊

[@johnford7847]

Awesome job, Shara! You really made a beautiful kitchen. Thank you for sharing what you've learned.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@jhold7553]

Does this mean I have to take down a perfectly good cabinet now ha

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha definitely not. That might open up a whole can of worms and lead to a full blown remodel 🙈😆

[@Nursepenelope]

Wow looks stunning

[@SmoothAlf]

Your brain is amazing! Watching this I kept thinking I would've been struggling to figure out how to even start this. Fantastic job!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha thank you! I feel like my brain was not cooperating well during this process--I was overthinking it until I finally got to installing the bottom panel and a lightbulb went off. I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing rest of your weekend!

[@emmaprado3405]

You did indeed a wonderful job!🎉😊 I have question….. the stainless steel sheet, did you get 18 or 20 gauge? Or what is your Recomendacion about thickness? Thank you! ❤😊

[@DRJoe100]

Impressive!! Honestly one of the easiest to follow stove vent /range hood cover videos I’ve seen! -do your parents a solid and caulk between the ceiling and cabinets so it hides the random bits that aren’t evenly spaced 😂. Question: did you use the same wood and stain for the corbels? They look a little darker in the video Side note: just found your channel, so far you’re instructions are clear and easy to follow in the videos I’ve seen. Super respect and appreciate that you don’t use promiscuous click bait thumbnails or dress trashy to make up for lack of substance like some tactless women do (it also shows you have respect for your partner). You provide good content and there’s nothing distracting or grimy , Love it!. Also, you look better than most high schoolers let alone someone post 30, I wish I still had a similar metabolism 😅😂. Love how clean/uncluttered and organized your garage/shop is. Do you guys park your vehicles in a separate garage or outside? We struggle with wanting to do both even tho our garage is huge. Usually parking outside wins which isn’t great for the car’s preservation but gives us loads more room for gym equipment and project stuff.

[@bromyers9014]

Truly beautiful hood. You did an amazing job planning and implementing your design.

[@westtexas5754]

That was a great example of designing as you go. I appreciate how you use "leftover" materials from other projects. The angles in this project would have driven me nuts! Glad to see how you are pushing yourself into new areas of the craft.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to actually mount the fan inside this box until the end 🙈 but it worked out and I’m really happy with it. If I build another one, I think I’m sticking to straight lines 😆 I hope you enjoyed watching and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@EmanuelYeotis]

I nominate Shara for the world's greatest daughter award 😊 is there anyone else who agrees with me😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha I'm not so sure about that--my sister would probably beat me out for that award 😂

[@DaPaVo358]

Great job on the hood Shara!! We are going to be moving and I am going to build our cabinets and such to save as much as we can. (I hope I don't need to build a hood.) but this is great. I love the way you figured things out on the fly and made it work. loos really great.David

[@MCsCreations]

Really amazing work, Shara! It looks fantastic in there! 😃 The thing I liked most about the fan was the lights! 😂 As someone who cooks... They're definitely going to be useful there! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@aliens1990990]

JUST WOW! that looks incredible! next level work that is very well done. the decorative parts you fitted at the end how did you do it ? In stages with a router ?

[@bearsstuff]

Really beautiful piece. Watching those angled, mitered cuts made me glad I model first, then the model tells me what my angles need to be. I know you've modeled your stuff in the past before, but had you thought of doing this? I say this as a total novice back seat quarterback. Glad to see another video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I’m not sure what you mean by modeling-do you mean drawing it digitally? In about 99% of my projects, I don’t draw anything in software until I’ve actually built it. I find it easiest to assemble first, then go back and draw it up to make plans. I’m weird, I know haha. It’s easier for me to think it through in real life than software. Whenever I show sketchup models in a video, I almost always made those after the fact just so I could explain what I’m doing 😅 So glad you enjoyed this video-can’t wait to share the next one! Have a great weekend!

[@bearsstuff]

@@WoodshopDiaries Everyone's mind works differently. Clearly your way works, like I said, the hood was beautiful. Take care, hope you have a great weekend.

[@paulrichardson5309]

You have serious skills..great job😊 !!!

[@tonygilbert2373]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing your thought process and tips that will transfer to other projects.

[@LeahAtz]

You use mainly 3/4” plywood but would 1/2” be ok for cabinets and closet storage?

[@hammock753]

Omg you read our minds! Thanks for this video. The hood rocks!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and hope it gave you some ideas!

[@sandman2651]

Brilliant looking hood, im surprised you dont use a hvlp pain sprayer

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I actually just got a couple of different paint sprayers last month, but only tried one so far. I didn't want to tape off a place to spray inside and it was raining outside (pretty much the entire time I was building this--I'm sick of rain haha), so I just brushed and rolled since it was a small section.

[@sandman2651]

Très belle réalisation, ce n’était pas si simple !!! , la tôle d’inox je l’aurais collée plutôt que vissée, joli travail,à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

[@amberhuls3359]

Dude!! That is awesome! I love that you get to share your skills with your parents in such a tangible way, and they obviously appreciate you. And, by the way, I’m completely jealous of your 💪🏻. Now I’m going to have to go do those pushups I keep thinking about doing while watching KZbin videos. 😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I am glad I'm able to build them some things here and there--they deserve it. They put up with me haha! Also, I'm so self conscious about my arms 🙈😆 so that's funny you mention that. I think years of being too stubborn to ask for help lifting things is what got me here 😂

[@jeffhesse8415]

Beautiful job, Shara! I've always liked those styles of range hoods compared to just a fake looking cabinet built over them. That adds a lot of style, especially with that choice of back splash. Thank you for sharing, and have a great weekend!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! Their kitchen is looking really nice after this remodel. I'm happy to have been able to be a small part of it. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

[@BK-fy2xi]

That’s really nice. It amazes me how good you are with finding angles and compound angles. I would really struggle with that.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you!! I’m a math nerd 🙈 I really enjoy angles, but it still takes me some time to think through sometimes (and some practice cuts haha).

[@brunnie]

What a wonderful project. Great job!

[@brewster3987]

Now this is a bit of a departure - and a very welcome one it is! Love the branching out into new areas of woodworking and home improvement! For someone who "never built a range hood," this one certainly looks like the product of an experienced craftsman. It's a really nice blend of textures, colors, and angles, and it compliments your parents' design choices very well! Nice. (Yes, I did watch all the way to the end...)

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed the "not so typical" project! I've got so many "around the house" projects I need to tackle and I'm always afraid people won't enjoy watching them because it's not my usual thing haha. Also thank you! Mom had an inspiration photo of generally what she wanted, but I was able to customize it a little. I'm so glad she went with the two tone look--the wood accents make it stand out better than if it was just painted solid white. I'm thankful their kitchen is pretty much finished because soon I'll be working on updating their bathroom 🙈😂 It's always something haha. Anyway, thank you so much for watching and following along. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend and can't wait to share the next build soon!

[@rndmlogin]

That turned out really pretty. I'm not sure I believe you that you didn't have this all figured out beforehand tho! It looks like you knew what you were doing the whole time to me. That is a really custom look and integrates in the space really really well. Well done(as usual)!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha I definitely didn’t have it figured out. There’s a lot of footage I edited out where I was talking to myself trying to think it through 😆🙈 the hardest part was figuring out how to mount the fan-the entire project I thought I was going to screw it directly to the frame and trim it out after the fact. Then I realized I could attach it from the top to the plywood panel and I was like why didn’t I realize this before?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m just glad it’s finished and mom is really happy with it. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

You've done it again girl! Nothing is holding you back and I like the way your mind (and hands) is working ........ just ....... do it !! Another triumph where you and your parents can be proud off. What's next on the agenda?

[@cjplay2]

Looks cool! What determines your staple or nail depth for your shots? Does the inside have any penetrating fasteners?

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! Normally, I would obviously try to keep the nails at a length that wouldn't stick through the back side. However in this case, the trim on the 1/4" plywood was overall only about 1/2" thick and the shortest nails I had in the shop were 1". So that's what I used and some of them did stick into the inside of the hood, but it didn't affect anything as the fan insert was so far away from the sides (several inches in all directions) when installed.

[@edmiperez7288]

Awesome job!!! When I built our decorative range hood, I added so much support to the frame my husband was like yeah it's not going anywhere, I just kept adding & adding 2x4 my boys thought I was making a playhouse for them 😂 3yrs later still looks new (I did a limewash-like finish to look like stone tinting joint compound & applying w/a trowel).

[@angietoscano103]

Amazing range hood and so very timely for me personally. I just bought a home with a microwave/vent combo...very unattractive. This video was so timely for me because I was looking for a video to help me tackle this and you just did!! A million thank yous

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, this project is now "marinating in my brain". Wow! The end result is again spectacular but the process to get there is indeed a bit daunting. I think I'm going have to watch this one again. You certainly put that miter saw to the test. I think even Bubbs is a bit dizzy! You are so lucky to have your Mother and Dad still with you. Hugs to the critters. Weather here has been crazy in May. Hopefully June will be better. Wishing you a great weekend. Thanks for Sharing! P.S. I think I'll go out in the shop and cut a few compound miters.
