About this video:
I had to build this project quickly, so I wasn't able to take the time and talk through it, step by step. But, I did capture each step of the build process and the article on my website is a step by step tutorial. I also explain how to mount the fireplace surround toward the end of the video. - Jak na to + styl

This is super helpful. I am a retired carpenter by trade and really like how simple this is. I am renovating my retirement home and want to ad a fireplace to my kitchen/living room open concept. This design will go great with the shaker style kitchen cabinets I will be installing. We all know when entertaining the guest all drawn to the kitchen area. A beautiful fireplace will push the comfort over the top. Thank You so much for this video.
You've put together a nice package for the "beginner to intermediate" woodworkers. A category that I'd venture to say was the large majority. Thanks for your efforts and the complete offering!
I couldn’t be happier with this fireplace! Haven’t tested the heat output seeing as it’s the middle of summer but the look is fantastic
Thank you for the plans.
That was great!
Hi could you show us how to make one with an arched opening? Thanks
Is plywood good for doors?
How much approximately would the materials cost?
What type of paint did you use? Great job by the way
Hey Alberto, I used latex paint and then I sprayed a water-borne poly over that.
@@OutoftheWoodwork Nice work. What did you use to thin the paint for that set up. Iv'e only used airless and would love to be able to use your setup. Thanks Joe
Is this to code? I thought a combustable surround could only be a certain thickness if they were 6"-8" from the firebox. Looks great though.
This is a good question. I am revisiting this with the client. It's my understanding that factory-built fireplaces like this one have different standards, but I've seen some contradictory information researching this afternoon.
@@OutoftheWoodwork Yeah I’m designing one for my bedroom fireplace now and I’ve seen variations on the code as well. Some say 3/4” at 6”, some say 1.5” at 8”... and variations of the same.
What size nails did you use in the nail gun to fix the pieces together?
They're 18 gauge 1 1/4"
@@OutoftheWoodwork Seems like some of those nails were unnecessary given the strength of glue and what it was holding. What do you think?
@@pshep123 The glue is strong enough but the pieces of wood have to be clamped together in order for the glue to join them. So, the nails are really more to act as clamps. Also, there's a lot of end grain to side grain joints which are not strong, so it doesn't hurt to have some additional mechanical strength. Generally, if you use some clamps, it's better than shooting nails.
What size lumber did you use?
Hey Joe, there is a free plan you can get for this project that has all the measurements. Link is in the description. Thanks!
Out of the Woodwork, thank you 🙏
Nice work. Thanks for the free plans. What kind of wood did you use for the fireplace project.? Thanks again.
Thanks, Scott. It's the select pine that you can find at most home centers.
What are the dimensions of the opening?
I've got a plan you can download...link in the description!
Try as I may, I cannot get a copy of the plans. Downloaded 3X but no plans in email. Not in Junk either. Use Gmail. Need your plans as I'm just getting ready to start. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Mike
Hey Mike, you can head over to my website and reach out on the contact form linked at the bottom. outoftheww.com
Omg... can you build me one... lol
suggestion. avoid cu's... stay in a wide or med. we cant see what you are doing in a cu of a staple. thanks
Isn't it kind of dumb to make a fireplace surround out of combustible matierial? In fact its a code violation
No, codes set a minimum distance from the opening. The fire isn't burning on the outside of the fireplace. If it is, you have much bigger problems than a wooden surround.
