  • This is the third part of the living room fireplace remodel. In this video, I construct a mantle out of birch wood, pairing together boards to make wider planks. I show you the entire build process up to the point of being ready for stain. Enjoy!

    Great video (the whole remodel actually). Tip for avoiding cupped boards when glueing up (other than clamping it flat with other boards) is to alternate the clamps - 1 above, 1 below - that way they work against each other and it will be less likely to cup.

    It's a lovely fireplace. 😍, nice flame, heat, great quality. It seemed to go up easily ( I didn't put it up). The touch screen is a nice feature as well.

    • @BenTardif
      @BenTardif  Před 2 lety

      I made one of my first pieces of furniture out of birch and just stuck with it through this mantle project. It takes the stain well and is durable. It all just depends on what you want your final product to look like.

      Sometimes you just can't find them that wide. I am making a mantel that will measure 17 inches deep and you just can't find wood that are that wide . The mantel will be just over 8 feet long, so I couldn't find it in that size.
