This was a fun little project. I'll be doing 600 linear feet of baseboard next week. Any video ideas???
Great video. Look forward to seeing how you deal with baseboard butting up to door trim. Thanks for all you do.
Dom Moflia I use Masonite 4/8 sheet x1/8 I buy it at Lowe’s works pretty good
Turned out nice bro!
Love your work and attention to detail! Would love to learn and tips or tricks for caulking baseboard/trim, when to and not to use it etc.
Nice looking mantel Richard, did you spray the zinsser primer?
I'd like to see more clips of each step. Even just a quick 10-15 second clip showing every single step. Love your videos so much! Keep'em coming.
NicJamesDesign I agree.. I have a similar situation that I would like finish.
for sure. im teaching myself carpentry through youtube and the little steps that you do all the time might seem like no-brainers but a lot of times i just dont know how you or other youtubers got from a to b. thanks for videos love em
I've been in residential and some commercial construction for a while. Just started out on my own and I have to say I'm learning so much from you. You are a finish master. thank you for your time and humble attitude. Love all your work and especially this mantel
Richard, outstanding mantel design. I am always amazed with your work, I learn so much from your videos. Can't thank you enough for sharing your craftsmanship with us. Simply the best!
You have seriously upped your game since I started watching about a year ago! Kudos and may God bless you sir
Sprayed 9 doors today using your method of nailing trim on top. Worked great love the videos. Keep up the good work.
your attention to the detail is what makes a gifted trim man keep up the awesome work and thank you for the videos
This has to be one of my favourite channels. You take so much time to explain everything to the finest details. As a home DIY worker here in the UK I'm using more and more of your ideas for my finnishing work around the house. This is definately going to be one of my future projects. Keep them coming and as always, thanks for sharing.
I love what you did on this mantle. My husband passed away about two years ago now. But I still feel like it was just yesterday. I have been designing my mantle piece that I am wanting to make and I know I'm gonna need help and I am looking for someone that's not go to $3000.00 to death!! People know that you've lost your spouse they think you're rolling in money. The metal that I'm designing it's going to be connected to brick my whole fireplace is brick. I think you so much for posting this because now I know what kind of anchors, Or column screws that I'm gonna have to use. I learned a lot by watching your video and I have learned I am going to have to get help. There's no way I can hold that and drill and screw by myself.
Thank You,👍👍
🥰 🐾
I have watched many, many youtube woodworking videos and your work and expertise is the best out there. Thanks for sharing and teaching your awesome tricks and timesavers.
Looks great! Nice job on anchoring to the brick! She ain't moving.thanks for taking the time and effort to video, edit and post I really appreciate your effort thank you
Good work my friend! I’ve been doing high end custom framing and finish carpentry for about 10 years now. I’m always looking on CZcams at other carpenter video to get ideas and what not. It’s fun to see how others build. Every one of your videos I’ve watched is the correct and efficient way of doing things. Great work man! Thanks for sharing. I’ve definitely picked some things up from watching you. Keep it up brotha 🤙🏼
I truly wanted to thank you for all this very valuable information. Thank you for taking the time to film and share. I actually built a fire place mantel this past weekend following and using your video as guidance .It was a lot of fun and I learned a few tricks. Cutting the crown molding was challenging for me very tricky but I was able to get it done and I am very happy with the result. Once I saw your video I knew I could do it. I tiled the fireplace about 2 years ago and I could not find the right information to build a mantel until I found your video. Thanks again, all the best luck with your business.
Is it bothering anyone else that the Fireplace isn't centered on the wall?
He has nothing to do with that 🤨
I know, I know, seen plenty videos from Finish Carpentry TV, he would never build anything like that off center. Sometimes you have to work with what you got...
Yes
The fireplace is more than likely centered with the room, not with the respective wall
That was the first thing I noticed lol
Your videos are really good! You're very clear with your explanations and I feel like you are genuinely honest and not trying to sell bs to viewers or show off sponsorships like so many other people do on youtube. I've been watching this video over again as I build a mantel for one of my clients who also has a tile surround and its been very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
The mantel came out amazing!! Really classy and goes perfect with the white tile marble.
I watched your video one time, and decided this was the mantle I wanted to build for my project. Thank you very much for the helpful video. Excellent work!!
Btw, I'm in Saginaw. Based out of Dallas.
I'm needing to update my mantel at my house and this looks great! I love the moldings and trims you used too. Nice classic and clean look that adds to that fireplace. Thanks for sharing this project!
Tyler Fink I need to update mine as well and love the classic simplicity of the design.
Have a look at WindsorOne - they have some great fireplace designs - FREE
FineHomebuilding have just done a Federal Fireplace article
Man, I'm really glad I found this channel. Watching your stuff gives me the confidence to try some of this stuff on my own DIY projects, mostly for the tips I'd never think of myself.
Absolutely elegant and beautiful. I wish I would have watched this video last week, before I redid my own fireplace hearth, mantle and stone.
He does do a quality work, wish we can find someone like him when we need to do our work done around the home
Just beautiful , and the explanation is 100 per cent . Thanks for sharing dimensions , unlike other channels .
Great job, thanks for giving the me the confidence to build a mantel like yours.
Hello Richard am embarking on one of these this week, yet I wanted to point out your comment about learning from others is a huge point of wisdom- I guess you are an old soul
Am in the process of building this while John is away. He'll be surprised!
That looks really nice!
I’m just south of you in Waco. My work is in drywall and paint. Keep the videos coming please.
I built my fireplace mantel last year from scratch, no kit. Turned out better than I hoped, your video helped me a lot wished now i;d take before during and after photos.
Looks amazing!!!! Really enjoy watching your videos!
Excellent job! I have a fireplace that I plan on remodeling and you provided a lot of practical advice and design inspiration.
Another awesome project and explanation. You definitely got skills. Thanks for sharing.
I really like your videos. Love your attention to detail. We work the same with our HVAC business. Aesthetics are a big part of the finished work!. Thank you for this!
Nice work you share what has taken years for you to learn and master to help thousands learn. Thanks for the video. You got my subscription
Glad you included footage of the little flick you do coming out of the 3/8 chamfer. Was thinking about that technique moments before.
Look really nice the way you put all molding together awesome !!
Love watching your work.
Beautiful and exactly what I will do for my mantel project. 👍
If this mantle is your personal design you did really well. The proportions are perfect!
Richard, You are hands down one of my favorite woodworking person on youtube, right up there with Jon Peters. Your absolutely immaculate, meticulous at what you do. Quality is always my aim. Thanks for all that you do and share.
Love that fireplace! I hope my wife does, too (she loves craftsman) because I want to build it. Well done - I like your stuff!
Very clean. Nice proportions. Well done
Elegant design, excellent craftsmanship.
Beautiful mantel bro! Simple, yet classy 👍
Beautiful work Richard.
Love your work man! Videos are great as well.
That’s my next project for my fireplace. Great video
Simple projects like this, if I could, I'd do nothing else. No rush, take your time and play around with different add ons and whatever your mind sees. Because like you said, sometimes it's the job that moves you up the ladder. Simple, clean, tight, works with the room, perfect size and becomes a focal point that blends in. I did something similar a few years back and just for the hell of it, I made a small dentil moulding with 3/4" cutouts between 1" teeth mounted just under the crown. So I'm sure you were loving this job letting your mind run. Nice, clean has always been there type of project. It's also nice to work with professionals as well, your guy is no joke when it comes to getting things done properly. 👌
thanks for that,looks superb and explained spot on.
Nice looking mantle! Simple but elegant.
Idk why but I just really like this guy! :) Very informative in every video:)
I ended up copying your fireplace mantle for a customer of mine.
She and I are very thankful for your skills that you share.
Very nice look. You really do excellent work. I know you didn’t do the tile but I like that too. It’s a very nice all around look. Keep up the great videos. Thanks very much.
Great looking mantle!!!
That Mantle looks fantastic bro!
You do amazing work keep up the good work.
You are so good of what you are doing. Great teacher!

Man i like your job your style thanks for the time and everything you upload thanks alot
Great job as always.
Love the zinseer shellac primer, makes for a great sandable filler.
Looks very nice. Good job.
OK...just need to sand and stain and my mantle is finished. Took me a lot longer than two days! It was an awesome project! Thank you.
You are an artist .
I like the tent bro, great idea
Thanks for your help bro appreciate it !!
looks good bro, tapcon is all we use while drilling into concrete for our framing, works great.
Looks beautiful
I'm impressed with how much work you do. Would love to see your take on pocket doors .
Looks awesome keep up the to notch videos and work
Quality work, like the ideas and unique techniques that I'm stealing btw lol
Admiro tus trabajos. Son bellos y bien diseñados. Dios te guarde y Bendiga. 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Beautiful!
bro you are a master at your craft
Great idea with the amazon affiliate links to your tools, glue etc. New subscriber but man I've been really enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge man.
Outstanding!
A great subtle looking mantle
Cool project!
Nice job!!!!!!
Nice work, I’m a new subscriber and really enjoying your videos
Great job as usual
Beautiful Job
Boy hacer una mañana !!
Gracias bro me diste mucha ayuda
You always do good work :D
I like the pro classic. Acrylic alkyd is my favorite. And for a primer I would use a stain blocking latex. Oil yellows over time and cracks with age. Sherwins seals and bonds or zinsser 123 will do the trick. Those will block tannin as well. I think the shellac isn’t necessary for this type of application. At any rate, project turned out great. Keep up the good work.
Really enjoy your videos. Your instruction is easy to follow. I would like to see more detail from measurements, calculating amount of material as well as selecting your material.
Awesome work! Would love to see for example how you tape off fine detailed work like this and airless spraying setup/use. Thanks again
WoW, i'm pretty new to your channel, but like to say you do an awesome job in both your work and video's .
Awesome video and detail description. On the legs, do you recommend gluing and nailing the butt joint or can I use a pot hole to tighten the joints together. I want to use a chamfer bit also. Best method?
You have a very informative channel. With that said I am a retired finish carpenter with over thirty years experience. With mere 7 years maybe you haven't seen as much as you will assuming you'll stick with it. One element of this work that you spend little if any time with is less than adequate jobsite conditions. There a many conditions that can be found and must be addressed. Wavy walls, not plumb, not parallel, thick inconsistent texturing, walls not square, I could go on. There's also many solutions to problems but usually only one that's best and recommended. There's also reasons to set a door out of plumb, hopefully by not much. As in the case of two perpendicular interior doors where framing is maybe not ideal. The priority here might be to set the doors so that the reveals between the finished casing legs are consistent, even though the doors may be out of plumb somewhat. Maybe even cheating the reveals between the casing and jamb legs to "fool" the eye into seeing all is ok. When doors are close it is paramount that header casings line up and casing legs are parallel and close to plumb. This is real world carpentry when all is not perfect, and part of what makes an experience carpenter so valuable, especially in a time when trades that precede us are perfect not payed to be. What's that saying, "you can't see it from my house". Or, the next trade can deal with it. We're the next to last trade on a site, and every trades shortcomings may end up being our problems. Sure, one can always call the GC and have so and so fix their work, but no GC wants to hear that all the time. They want to know that you fixed it and took the headache away from him. That's just one way to earn future work.
You do beautiful work and I appreciate you taking the time to share. I have seen you spray many projects indoor, but I've never seen you build a shelter to protect the rest of the house from overspray. How do you typically manage overspray? Thank you.
I'm making my own version of this now. Did you use caulk to fill along the edge the crown molding or did you use drydex/plastiwood everywhere?
It looks beautiful. I am not a fan of the tile but your mantle makes it work👍🏻
Awesome ❤
Great attention to detail.
Great job...thanx so much!
Like the mantle, but that paint job is the star of the show. Looks beautiful
Good job!
I want to start by saying it looks great. One thing I noticed is that when you put the top ledger on the rings were curved to the room, meaning as that board drys it may cup towards the room. There won't be any resistance to that cupping because the lag screws are dead center. Just a thought...
Your like one of my favorite channels now. Thanks. Your an inspiration. Question. Do you use a brad nailer for all your trim including crown? Or do you switch back and forth?
Good job, tapcons are sweet.
are you going to do a detailed build video on this project? Love your videos keep them coming I am learning a lot.
It would great if you could show how you approach base shoe molding. Do you pre paint and then install after everything else is painted, or paint everything at once? In Iowa most builders add shoe molding after floors are in. Would be nice to see how a remodel project approaches it.
