How to build a media wall like a pro

[@YorkshireRed2884]

How do you get to the plug sockets if there's ever a problem?

[@Silverbullet767]

Teleportation.

[@JefferyFisher-c4s]

Simple removal of everything installed then put it back again, how else 😅

[@mikerosser8494]

Nice video mate as always. Always nice when you can mix something you love with family. For me it's with my boy he's 9. He's got a real interest in what I do. Bought him his first drill last christmas.

[@LTWCarpentry]

Hi Mike, that’s awesome mate ! I love building stuff with my little girl, really nice when you get to bond like that isn’t it

[@charlottestill3034]

Wow, this looks incredible. So professionally executed, and the outcome is genuinely beautiful. Nice one x

[@simontuffey6655]

Stunning job as always, great video content, did build one myself my only regret is I used plasterboard and first ever attempt of plastering! but the wife is happy so I must be LOL. Take care and keep it up!!!

[@LTWCarpentry]

Cheers Simon, I have done a few in plaster, mine included but I tend to stay away from it in finished houses like this as plastering can be messy, well done if having a go though mate ! And as long as the mrs is happy that’s the main thing lol

[@SimonPowell-o6c]

Good evening Lewis we'll what a lovely job you have done the oak shelves really stand out pat on the back see you in the next one Also we'll done dad on the painting Simon

I’m a plasterer and board and skim loads of these lately! Nightmare to bead up so I like the MDF route however I’m not as skilled as you with wood lol! I’m building one at home as the Mrs is on my case forever over it! Gotta say lad this looks absolutely top class! Very clever mate👊👊

[@LTWCarpentry]

Mate the only reason I use mdf is because I can’t plaster 😂😂 I don’t find it’s cleaner in finished houses though to be fair mate. Keep her happy mate 🍻🍻

Great project there Lewis, nicely done.

[@LTWCarpentry]

Cheers mark ! And thanks for taking the time to comment ! It’s really helps ! 🍻

[@tomch991]

cracking job, picked up a few tricks from this! If you use MR or Medite MDF mate you dont need to filler the edges. Also, for the bottoms of your shelves, use modesty blocks so you dont need to clamp and wait for glue to dry! alsoooo, if you use a bit of oak coloured mapei, or wood filler, right on the mitred edges of the shelf front (enough for a bit of squeeze out), it sands down and makes the join completely invisible

[@LTWCarpentry]

Mate I will deffo be using modesty blocks in the future ! Why have I never thought of that !

@LTWCarpentry not gonna lie. Feeling nervous before it starts. One guy suggested building it with MDF and then we can paint it white, and the second guy suggested using Pine so we can wax it after. Not too sure what to do. Any suggestions or hints? Much appreciated.

End result looks great and great work but that waisted space above the tv would drive me mental when our english houses have such poor storage space. Matching shaker doors above the tv and shaker draws below the fire would still look great while giving extra storage space.

It seems common with these builds on KZbin that the design fails to allow plenty of air room around the sound bars. The close confines makes for an overly bass sound and make speech muffled especially if they have end fire speakers.

[@LTWCarpentry]

According to the manufacturer’s instructions there is enough room around it, plus this has forward facing speakers
