This week we build a DIY wood slat wall! This video is focused on the detailed breakdown of the project and includes step by step instructions so you can build it yourself! This project was a ton of fun and one of my favorite projects to date! It is not as daunting as it looks, and with some patience, anyone can tackle this DIY project. The wall is built with oak slats that we ripped down on the table saw and I used MDF sheets as a backerboard for the black paint. I hope you enjoy the video!

The moment when you realise, you live in germany and cant just simply "nail" things on the wall. Cause of stone :D nice vid!

The surrounds on the light switches and outlet look really good

Going to do this for the reception of our language school in Brazil. Thank you. I love this!!!

I love the box around the switch box idea...brilliant and looks slick.

A tip so you are far less likely to have brad nails blowout, is to always hold your nailer perpendicular to the length of the board. In other words, the chisel tip of brad nails will veer to either side of the chisel tip, rather than up and down (due to following the grain of the wood). That is why you want to hold your brad nailer horizontal when nailing vertical boards together. It's better to have the nail veer off on the 8' length of the board, rather than on the 3/4" width of the board.

Here is a tip. Cut out a jig block for your spacing, but make it long, 2/3, and give it feet. That way you can lean it against the wall. Then, walk away, put it next to your last stile, place the jig, nail off the next stile, place the jig and walk away. That way you do not have to pick up 3 little blocks off the floor or out of your pocket all the time.

love the detail around the electrical plates. that turned out great. whole thing looks awesome.

[@josephinerussell8501]

I always wanted to do

[@tuckerleary]

this came out great, really a joy to watch and happy to hear you'd be switching the outlet and switch plates out because that was the only thing I thought looked off. Taking notes from this one, nice build!

Rewatching this video over and over again. Going to try this out in my new condo-thank you for this instructional video!!

[@jim9520]

Thank you for this video. Very, very nice. Beatiful.

[@duanebock840]

My favorite video so far, love the look of this

[@nickorsini2975]

Crushed the spacing, and covering that gap was poetry.

[@eq2046]

Thanks for sharing. Putting an MDF under the slats is a brilliant idea that makes nailing much easier.

[@siiNke]

Just a tip for caulking. Put some soap and water in spray bottle. after you put caulk spray it and it goes off smooth with no sticking :)

[@GabeSchultz1]

Brilliant to add that detail around the outlets!

[@timogronroos4642]

Looks great! One small thing could be to leave just a small gap between the slats and the floor to have a moisture barrier between them.

[@TheBandoury]

Perfection! I like the light switch boxes too

[@user-ye4cm1ce4l]
