You should get some CCTV cameras in the workshop that activates on motion, that way you have raw footage when you get zenned-out, just put it in the video in super speed for a nice timelapse :D Gives you some new angles for camera cuts too. Plus the added security overall whenever your gone obviously ^^

[@maacan123]

​ @Jan Grahame I've seen all his videos, don't think they gave him enough and the ones up atm are probably not angled to give any decent timelapse footage. My suggestion is to extend his current arsenal with more that would dubble as timelapse cameras.

[@JoeRKsChannel]

Looks great dude. So so pro. If you want your LEDs on the top to last a little longer, run a flat plate of aluminium strip along and rebond the led tape to it, so it can dissipate heat. I was a bit of a non-believer but I’ve done both and can definitely see a difference in the ones that do vs don’t have a bit of a heatsink :)

Just a heads up...it's actually illegal to use the EAS tones, in case the FCC reaches out to you. It can result in huge fines (47 U.S. Code § 325 ). Don't want you getting in any trouble...love your videos...and you are inspirational.

[@HesmiyuMC]

[@Maximusrex4575]

The wall came out great, and I think the pattern of the LEDs between the slats looks really good.

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

Very cool and very meticulous. Glad to see a new post. One little idea…that little tab of wood between the faucet and the hand-held shower is going to get broken off. You might consider putting some sort of reinforcement under or in it to keep it from breaking. It would suck to have it break.

[@Craftlngo]

I would consider to remove it completely to give it a smother look to it. The little tab distracted me.

[@GrahamCampbell-kr2gz]

The whole shelf/faucet part is a design fail. Such a shame when everything else is so well thought out. I would have made 2 square shelves - one each side with a single tile at the back.

[@SalvaBarbus]

I can only imagine how relaxing a bath in there is going to feel. Lights out, only the dimmed LEDs, a hot bath with bath salts… glorious!

@@JoelMMcKinney there's an important reason. They need to be sure that when you hear that sound you know it's an important weather or government warning.

Hey once again, lovin' it. I am actually doing a similar slatwall with floating shelves in my Living Room. Here in Germany, you can buy special floating shelf mounting brackets which are basically just metal "dowels" that are screwed onto the wall surface on one side and inserted into the floating-whatever on the other. How did you get such a good diffusion on your leds? I would not have thought that the diffuser itself (at least from what I saw of it) would have diffused everything so well. Excellent tip BTW regarding the washers and magnets. You can never overestimate the value of easy-access at a later date. One other tip that comes to mind, from one of my clients that is also constantly cutting wood... Basically all the sawdust from cutting and sanding is vacuumed to a pellet maker, which gives him an energy efficient source of heating for the winter months. As always I love watching your progress. Keep up the great work and take care.

[@Lucidbkeo]

Funny thing is, those aren't even really diffusers, they're just lenses. They're not frosted at all. The trick is the style of LED strip used which is called an led COB, they can be bought as chips or strips. It's basically a bunch of tiny led's with some silicone poured over 'em to make a much more even looking light.

[@bitluni]

Looking forward to each MM video. I'm happy you recovered and back to the renovation strong. The wall is beautiful. The magnet idea is perfect. Never trust LEDs to last 😄 especially the cheap sticky tape shipped with it. Wondering if you can get the COB strips with black solder mask.

[@Lucas-vd2gx]

It looks cool but what might be good for the next time is trying indirect lighting... by that I mean placing the LED strip either sideways instead of facing the tub or even behind some of the wood pieces you have so it faces the black wall (might be a nice project and even the solution to remove them by using magnets). You will end up with a much moodier room especially because it looks like it is a bright space already and well lit. Think of fancy hotel bathrooms and you'll get the idea. The LED is never facing you, it is either hidden away on a gap in the dry wall on the ceiling or behind a mirror. Looks cool either way!

[@sabereaseera1384]

Looks cool but there will be a lot of mold growing in those cracks hidden by the black paint

[@Your-BestNightmare]

2nd! Love this channel, have my own dreams of doing the same in the near future, great ideas, LED's are OK, not for me, though.

[@rdph6693]

I really love this! I saw this technique (minus the lights) years ago on Trading Spaces and had on a future to do list for my own home if I ever had the time and money. And if you watch Blue Bloods the wall of the press room has this. It's nice to see something I really like used in different places since most of my taste is somewhat out of date!

That looks great! One thing though, why was it necessary to paint that plywood painted black in stripes? Wouldn't it be easier to just paint it all black? My understanding is that the unpainted stripes are hidden behind the wood, thus not visible, but maybe I am missing something.

[@psynautic]

[@TheRealRahau]

As a professional kitchen and bath renovator, I can confirm that liquid nails will hold tile perfectly well for a very long time. Its the standard that a lot of tile guys in my city used to use and Ive torn it down more times than I can count. The issue with liquid nails is that during demo it will tear the drywall absolutely to hell before it comes off. Mortar lets you chisel tiles off the wall, liquid nails means you have to cut and patch the drywall most of the time.

[@ronsimpson143]

I would have been tempted to put a small radius in the corner instead of a hard edge where the two walls meet. Also, could you have built the panels on the workbench and then hung them?

Is the tape you are using at 16 minutes is a product from 3M, you're not going to have any problems. My place is about 500 ft of a bluff off of Puget sound, we get very powerful winds. I built a pergola out of stainless steel and double layer polycarbonate. I didn't have the hard to put any fasteners through the polycarbonate so I decided to use 3M double-sided extreme tape. I'm happy to report that despite one storm lifting the 500 lb pergola, and dropping it off of its verticals, we are going on 8 years without any loosening or other issues. I had some concerns about dog hair and pollen sticking to the edges of the tape, this has not been an issue at all. I'm in the rainforest, a very humid environment. I'm confident your bathroom will hold up just fine

Seems like this turned out more complicated than it needed to be. Why couldn’t the spacers be all black? The slats covered them either way. Agreed that 1/2” is better spacing but alternating 1/2” and 5/8” would have been fine in order to fit the LED strips.
