How many inches does the mantle add to the surround?

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

About 4-5in

[@quincytorres2029]

Which angel cut do you use for the top trim

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

I have a 45 cut there is an early video on my channel that shows how to setup the cut

[@chrisjensen1814]

Well, how did you attach it to the wall??

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

The mantel is attached to the surround using screws that I later filled with wood putty

[@chrisjensen1814]

@@HowYouCanMakeIt ok thank you!

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

Any time

[@chrisjensen1814]

Well I tried to cut the crown molding for my fireplace tiday, I did 45 degree miter cuts but I still did it wrong

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

Oh no that isn’t good.

[@Alexander-rq9he]

What about the surrounds? Did I miss that part?

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

There is another video on that

[@jakec788]

What kind of wood did you use for the top

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

4/4 or 1in thick poplar

[@joanellrobinson-woodard61]

How did you attached it to the fireplace?

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

Support blocks

[@molly557]

Didn't give the double angle degrees to use!

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

The top mantel shelf molding is at 45 degrees.

[@SarahS-zq8ru]

I wish I could have watched you attach it…

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

Yeah I lost that part of the video 😢

[@mgoblue2]

Not a good video. No dimensions.

[@HowYouCanMakeIt]

I have the dimensions on my website.
