I want this channel to blow up and get huge! Ive learned so much from you two! And the awesome dynamic between father and son cant be ignored. Im currently finishing the bed you guys designed! Poly starts tomorrow :D
Appreciate the kind words Tosiff! Be patient with that poly, it'll turn your project from good to great if you take your time! Good luck!
I love watching your channel and learning these easier ways of doing things around the house👍👍
I really enjoyed watching you troubleshoot your way through the hole placement and coming out with an accurate jig for alignment for that mantle.
Top quality.
8:35 I never thought of this approach to guide a deep drill. Brilliant!
Great tips! Thank you so much! I got my first paid side hustle job after starting my woodworking channel in January. I'm replacing their mantel (among other things) and your expertise is going to help a lot! Thanks again! and God bless!!
This truly is a great Father and son. You guys are really inspiring me as a Father of two young boys.
Good work gentleman I watch quite a lot of your videos. Nice to see a father and son working together it’ll be a life time memories
Awesome installation and great detail
I applaud you on using a consistent fully electric drill for the stronger consistent power torque.
It looked like it gave a little bit at the end. :) Nice project! Beautiful Mantle!
Nice job and great teamwork getting this one finished
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips👍, I will definitely be using them.
Thanks Marc!!
Great work Jordan...you and your OSHA APPROVED Flip-Flops saved the day!!!!!
Great video!! Learnt some good ideas from watching this👍 (UK)
Great job!! Definitely solid!
Thx High Life!!
Nice seeing how a mantle can be installed when I recently used a small bottle of spray foam to close off the massive holes into the attic in my mantle (upgrade by previous owner). I don't know who did the remodel, but it certainly wasn't these two.
Another exciting episode of Confined Space Rescue!
Damn, that was epic.
Kudos to Jordan: that inside-the-chimney work took some serious huevos. (Showing up to the jobsite in flip-flops takes some huevos, too - although of a different kind.)
Safety first no flip flops on job site, love the work you do keep it up health and safety is paramount 👍
With the type of weight { materials } they use. I would use steel tip. I'm not a fan of steel tip. They definitely have saved me from a broken toe or two !
Ex-C-Lant! I admire you Jordan!
Dang... I think I might just stick to sewing, laundry, & dishes. And continue to be my hubby's "go-fer".
🤣🤣🤣😉
Nah, j/k!
I'm learning!!! Love this channel!
Love it!!
Glad you like it!
18:24 “Is that you Jesus?” I almost peed myself!! 😂
Enjoying the channel, keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, will do!
Rock solid!
Guys ever thought of doing a video on cutting down a fire door? (solid wood door)
i'm doing a door replacment on my cellar in the basement and need some help, and pro tips.
Too funny, flip flops... Almost as bad as me in my sandals trying to build my word shed...lol glad to know I am not the only one, 😉
That Samsung sound bar the Client has mounted is mounted with the speakers facing downwards at the floor not outwards. Samsung has threaded inserts on the bottom of their sound bars that use an L bracket to mount to a wall, you can see the threaded insert was used to mount it to that pull down mantle mount, therefore having the bottom mounted to the mount and the speakers aimed at the floor.
great!!!!!!!
Maybe some type of small wedges between pipe and mantle beam to keep it sliding off. that will make so you have pry it off
this project is like documentary on caves
Did you put epoxy or some glue in the mantel holes, or did you just slide it on and let Mr. Gravity do the holding?
Jordan works!
Can you please tell me about how much that Kingswood mantel weighed??? Beautiful job by the way.
Hey Dad I think Son should get BONUS pay for this job.
Yep, that was pretty rough down in that chimney 😂
👍👍👍👍
What would be your recommendation for installing the same weight mantel to a brick fireplace BUT there's that old thin wood paneling covering it and no way to reach in from the inside. We're not sure how to go about it safely.
Did that right side sag when Jordan pulled down on it ?
Love y'all's channel.. out of curiosity, what do you charge for hanging a Mantle like that or that big mirror?
About 480$
What keeps the mantle on the metal bars? Friction? Or is it meant to be easily removed?
How does it lock so it cant be pulled from the wall? As always great work you two!
you can use structural adhesives like heavy duty gorilla glue adhesive. Theyre on the caulk aisle in the paint section.
Drill 2 small holes on the back of the least seen side (top/bottom) where the pins are, into the pins, and use long enough screws to go through the wood and into the pin.
@@Candisa I was thinking the very same thing. I saw how easy it was to slide the mantle on, and my mind went straight to seeing a toddler climbing up to get something shiny and having it pull off the pins and and get crushed.
I think your set-screw idea is spot on. A long, Allen head screw would be perfect, while keeping the hole size to a minimum.
All the mass and bulk of that mantle and whatever is placed on the mantle is held to the brick chimney with (2) 3/8ths threaded shafts. Don't overload! Very nice work.
Tensile strength of typical mild steel threaded rod is 60k psi, which gives a shear strength of 60k/1.73 = 34.7k psi.
Now, a 3/8" coarse pitch threaded rod has a Tensile Stress Area of 0.0775 sq-in, which would mean the ultimate shear load for a single rod would be ~2689lbs. With 2 rods the shear load would be ~5378lbs.
Home Depot rates their 3/8" threaded rod for 1900lbs (it is derated from ultimate values, for a nice safety factor).
As you approach these loads, the failure point would actually be the wood studs or the metal bracing used for clamping the rod to the studs.
Hey guys this is Ricky again excellent job excellent job I don’t know where you guys are from I wish you tell me sometime I don’t see enough but you guys do really good work and I’m your buddy Ricky from Pennsylvania
Thx Ricky 😂. We’re in Louisiana 🦞
Awesome job on the mantle. Super neat tape measure trick. What laser level are you using? Looks like a good tool used on many of your jobs.
Thanks John. We used a Bosch GLL 100 G laser. I have two different Bosch products to mount it on - a tripod Bosch BT150 and a telescopic pole Bosch BT350.
@@StudPack thank you for the information! That is really helpful!
Maybe flip flops aren’t the best choice when doing construction jobs 😂
Jordan is the only guy I have seen show up to a jobsite wearing flip flops. Advantages of having your dad as the boss. Lol
Santa Claus training. Gotta start somewhere
😂😂
Is that fireplace a gas one or just a modern version of a wood burning fireplace? The reason I ask is because looking at the chimney when you were in the attic it seems like only the brick part was where the wall was on the other side of the wall and inside there was metal venting instead of a large brick chimney.
It’s gas 🔥
@@StudPack Oh okay, I was trying to figure out if it was gas or just a modern version of a chimney for wood burning fireplaces.
Does the wood not attach to the metal bracket in any way?
There is no provision for this Justin; however, we mentioned to the owner that if he would like the mantel secured to the bracket, we could put a screw(s) through the mantel into the 1" diameter pipes on the bracket. He's going to let us know in a week or so.
Did I miss something ? How does the mantel stay tight against the brick ? Do you use an adhesive ?
It's just a friction fit Don. Pretty hard to pull off. We told the homeowner we'd come back and put some screws thru the bottom of the mantel that bear against the pipes... like a set screw on a pulley. So far so good 👍 IIRC the instructions said to put silicon on the pipes to adhere it but I like the option of having it removable.
@@StudPack Thanks for the quick reply ! It looks great with a historical perspective !
@@StudPack How would you remove it? I have a round would log mantle I want to replace with a hand hewn beam. I don't see any screws in the mantle so not sure if they used silicon or not. How would you remove for both scenarios?
Great job, but raise your hand if you were rooting for a flip-flop to fall off and become a forever testament that Stuck Pack was in the home? Seriously, excellent work.
Thx JR 😂👍🎄
smart man dad ....the mantle didnt look centered on fireplace ??
It was centered. I think sometimes this is due to the camera. I'll read a tape measure at 3-3/8" but on the video it's 3-1/2"?? Thanks Mark!!
The one dislike is from the small person who didn’t get the job on this project.
😂
No flip flops
Come on dude
Great work though
Steel toed flip flops
At the next remodel,.....A skeleton was discovered behind the fireplace. Authorities are baffled....
I'm on a boat got my flippy floppy on I'm on a boat.
Where you guys go
We're here Jerry! We're currently working on a huge DIY build that is unique and we're taking our time with it! Video should be up by this weekend!
Flip flops and shorts. LOLOLOL
My brother jUst went to the army so I need a new bed
I need thin twin extra long know where I can get one
The Mantel looks great but the TV is too high and deserves to be shamed on /r/TVTooHigh
It’s uneven on the chimney
I was trying to figure out how that happened myself. It's significantly uneven I'm sure they fixed it off camera.
If you guys keep this up I’m gonna stop watching you know and I’m starting to get complex
Do not wear Hawaiian Safety shoes on the job. Problems will always happen.
I would Fire u wearing flip flops on to my job plus the hazard of u choping a toe with my insurence on a job and the home owner would look at u like ur Rediculouse ..
never ever wear flip -flops!! rookie mistake!!
He spends to much time explaining the unimportant.
