Installing FLAIR'S 200 YEAR OLD MASSIVE FIREPLACE MANTEL!! We Only Get ONE Try...

[@crystalkarlson5491]

Tom did an amazing job on that mantle. That's old school knowledge and skill right there. I hope he has plenty of apprentices learning from a true master of his craft. 👍👍👍

[@strongnew3744]

Absolutely ,I'd been tempted to put up faux beam? ,or regular lighter mantle ,faced it with old barn planks to appear old. Just to avoid having to manhandle that big ole hunk of wood....might even be cheaper?? or not..dont know cost of wide reclaimed barn plank. Definitely worth the price of my back.. But I guess work with what your given Guy is a champion.. .maybe what those long texts were saying was.....dude,Brad send this beam to a mill...make my back happy...its not load bearing...if i have to use it..you come and lift it.....please

[@BradtheBuilder]

Tom is the best at his craft👍

That’s why I’ve had Tom on my side for over 20 years😜

[@JTM2000]

Wow Tom is such a skilled carpenter, great work boys the house is look amazing!

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I think Tom is one of those guys who has stepped beyond being a tradesman and is a craftsman. It's always a treat to see such professionals at work. That was a serious piece of wood.

[@Hallyburtonracing]

Watching Tom do his thing here is really the best thing about youtube. Real talent doing real work.

[@BradtheBuilder]

Thanks! I’ll be sure to tell Tom👍🤠

[@larrychurch1416]

Tom is a master carpenter for sure, I love his old school ways, a person could learn so much from Tom!

[@thedelcodave]

Tom is a character. The cameras don't seem to phase him which is awesome he can share his wisdom with us. I really like the scribe trick.

[@RyanRyker]

@Brad and Tom, y'all are creating masterpieces together. It looks absolutely perfect. Tom has to be one of the most impressive carpenters out there. He is doing an absolute fantastic job. Brad the house looks great and is coming along. I hope everyone reaches their deadlines and the Flairs will be able to move in before their old house keys, switch hands to the new owners. Keep up the videos and we will keep watching.

[@tylorstetson5751]

Brad you inspired me to get back into architecture. Seeing what you have done and build has inspired me. Thanks Brad one day I hope to meet you in person to thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@BradtheBuilder]

Tylor… I hope to be able to meet you real soon as well👍 thanks for reaching out and I’m glad you’re getting back into architecture work

[@andrewsiarkiewicz341]

Wow from the one wooden ceiling he did in that one house to this mantle Tom is an amazing craftsman. Brad you were lifting those mantle pieces like a champ lol. Keep it up and can’t wait for some updates on your new house progress.

[@BradtheBuilder]

I need to make it fun otherwise I would go crazy 🙆‍♂️😜

[@brianw572]

That is a kick a$$ mantle. Tom is truly a craftsman and we desperately need the younger generation learning from guys like him so that craft is not lost. Thanks for the vlog update on Flair's house.

He’s teaching his son in a couple of other guys some of these tricks

[@nedradonnpickens]

I love watching this. I’m starting my wood working journey and it’s so much fun. I’m taking pallets apart and making a lot of nice things!! It’s all because I found this channel. So thank you.

One of your best videos so far. Fun to watch. I feel like I could install one of those mantels now. The “Harry Potter Hat” comment had me rolling in the isles….

[@BradtheBuilder]

Hahah! 👍

[@brettcleveland1106]

Built timber frame homes for years in Colorado. Good job on the mantel. The real nice thing you didn't talk about was the cracks in the timber lined up as it turned the corner on the miter. Good job.

OMG, I thought I was the only one who picks the shortest line at the store and ends up screwed. You are so privileged to have a fine craftsman like Tom I cannot believe he matched the cracks in the wood perfectly. You got to love Tom don't answer Brad when he says he wants to do this in his house.

Something I did at a good friends camp was , we built a mantle like that out of worm wood cypress, covered the background in stone , but we used an illuminescent resin or glow in the dark so to say, resin to fill in and protect the wood, added in some silver flake to the resin and we mixed a few different colors, but anyways it looked amazing like looking through a telescope at the galaxy in low light
