- Floating Fireplace Mantel || DIY Faux Beam Floating Mantel …In this video, I update a painted fireplace mantel with a shiny new white oak floating fireplace mantel to give the appearance of a solid slab of white oak. A floating fireplace mantel can be a focal point of a family room, so adding some wood texture to complement a painted white palette can really add some dimension to the room. My original plan was to slide the new fireplace mantel over the existing one, but that quickly fell apart when I realized it was a little lacking in support. If you are looking to update your drab fireplace mantel, then hopefully this video gives you some ideas! #fireplacemantel #kjsawdust #keithjohnsonwoodworking

One of the best woodworkers on TH-cam.
Too kind! Thank you 🙏🏻👍🏻
I had to watch it twice to get my full length KJ fill. Throwing me off with this short video, Keith.
I was told to keep them wanting more 🤷🏼♂️😜👊🏻
At the 9:51 mark of this video I came across the “NICEST”, “CLEANEST”, and, what I would most certainly call, the absolute “FINEST” wood joint(s) that I have ever seen in all of my 43 years on this planet!!! Man… that end joint is absolutely BEA-FUCKING-UTIFUL!!! Kudos to you my friend… KUDOS on a job that was very, very “well done”!!! You sir are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN and a very rare breed, at that!!! A rare breed that is, in fact, going away at an alarming rate. And what makes that rate so “alarming” is the fact that people like you (ones that possess your level of knowledge and skill and can actually work with their hands and build something) are simply just NOT being replaced by this “new generation”!!! However, on a more positive, yet sarcastic, note (which should help all of us “worried” Americans sleep better at night)… the president in, or around, 2035 and all of the ones that come after for the next 40 years or more, will be very good at playing video games and throwing hissy fits whenever they don’t get exactly what they want!!! So, just rest assured and sleep well at night, we do have that!?!?!?
Super appreciate that, man!! And you're right about young people not wanting to come up in the trades and would rather play video games and be on their phones. Technology is great ,but is also killing our society in many ways.
High Skill + High Technology = Masterpiece.
Thanks very much!
Learned a little trick in this video, use a screw driver to burnish the miters to make them crisp. Beautiful piece.
Awesome! Glad it helped! And thanks for watching!
Keith I just wanted to let you know that you're awesome.
Thanks dude! That super kind of you! 🙏🏻
My Guy! This is easily my favorite intro of all your vids I’ve watched. I laughed way too hard! Thanks for the content brother.
Glad to hear it! Wow! And I almost didn't even make a video on it!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking just watched a video your buddy Jason did with Steve Ramsey and he said film every little project bc people will always want a video. And it’s so true. My unsolicited opinion…you may think it will be to simple and maybe boring to watch, but for the bulk of people watching and subscribed to you that’s the perfect project to make us say, “I could do that one” I love seeing the advanced stuff you do, but stuff like this a guy could tackle with limited tools in a weekend. I like when you guys use the fancy tools like the one you have and are like you could use tape here, but I have it so I’m using it. Just like the domino, I want one but can’t justify it, and should probably learn the basics better anyway first. Love the podcast, and to anyone reading this if you are subscribed to Shopsounds, subscribe and give it a few episodes…it’s really good!
@@krisbabic89 thanks Kris!! Super appreciate the feedback. It is very appreciated and I don’t take it lightly, so thank you 🙏🏻👊🏻
Ooooh thumbnail 2.0 me likey more better
Let’s hope others do, too 😘😂
Another awesome build! 👍🏻 But I didn’t see any kitty’s! 😺 Maybe next time… Thank you for sharing Keith!
Thanks Bill! And yes, definitely more cats on the next one! 😺
Just because I enjoy your videos so much, I watched both ads all the way through completion because I believe that makes you more money. Hopefully that is true because that "skip' button kept teasing me.
Wow! I super appreciate that Mike! And yes, more ad watch time definitely helps so thanks for resisting temptation to fast forward!
The best one I've seen so far, thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks!
Great video. 4 more mantels and the house doubles in value. Thanks for sharing.
😂 Any realtor's dream listing!!
Nice job Keith that lamello is so nice keep it coming, thanks
Thanks Matthew! Love that little red beast!
True "nothing is indeed something" . Talk about deafening silence.
😂
My wife wants me to do the stocking threaded inserts on mine. Simple and smart idea
Oh awesome! Should be sturdy enough to hold most anything...even a full stocking of coal 😜
That intro was fantastic!
beautiful build
Thanks Rueben! I had fun making that one 👍🏻
Enjoyed the build, you are definitely making things happen! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks a lot, Tuan! More to come!
beautiful work as always, Keith!
Thanks dude! Cheers!
Yet again, perfect job!
Wow, thanks!
Legend is back, keeping good work Keith ✊
Thanks man!! 👊🏻
Super clean, as always Keith.
Thanks a lot, Alec!
Love your work and the video. Although I’m very disappointed we didn’t get to see the shop cat Jerry make his appearance
Thanks James! I don't know where those rascals were for this one!! 😹
Best and simple explanation great craftsmanship. Will be doing the exact same this weekend
Glad it helped! Good luck with your project 👍
It looks gorgeous. Beautiful work!!
Thanks so much!! #totalboatbaby
Looking very good. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Good job. As always. Keep up the good work my friend
Thanks, will do!
I m so happy I’ve found your channel! Amazing!
Awesome!! I'm glad you found it, too! 😜👍
Killer work on this one, Keith! Intro had me laughing hard!
Thanks bro! I should have cut the vid at the intro 😜😂
Love it Keith! Always a good time to watch your process. Also, the threaded inserts for stocking holders - genius!
Thanks Andy! Always appreciate the kind words and the support! 👊
The intro is amazing.
Thanks!
Great work!
Thank you sir!! 👊🏻
Beautiful, Keith! 😃
Nicely done! It really looks amazing in there! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you so much! Always appreciate the support! Be safe!
Cured. Been watching lots of British dramas then, Keith?
I liked this video. It was interesting to see you out of the shop again and I get to see you fit the items you made too. I liked that the customers asked for a way to hang their Xmas stockings too; a nice touch 👍 Have a good’un Keith. Oh, and I’m looking forward to the next podcast too.
Thanks as always, Chris! I prefer to stay in the shop, but it is nice to get out once in a while for an install. I have a big mistook renovation coming up, so that should be interesting!
I've been wanting/planning to build the same type of mantel for my home. But my fireplace is 15 feet long from the corner of a wall. The existing mantel is concrete blocks and the fireplace is stone. A previous owner without any woodworking skills built a hideous mantel over the concrete blocks. Watching your "plan B" helped me decide that I should rip off the entire mantel including the original concrete blocks and attach the new mantel to a ledger board. Thank you! My ugly mantel has been haunting me!
Sounds like a fun project! And yes, sometimes it's best to get down to ground zero and build it correctly to ensure quality and the peace of mind knowing it was done right.
I'm gonna give your video an upvote... no wait, this isn't Reddit. I'm gonna give your video a boost... no wait, this isn't Facebook Marketplace.
I'm gonna give your video a Like. Just like this!
Bahahahaha. Well played. Well played. 😂
Great job, as always! Rocked my "KJCW" t-shirt today- I was looking pretty snappy in the shop if I do say so myself....
Rock on! Hopefully it brings you magical sawdust in the shop...or at least functions as a decent shop rag 😜
Superb my friend.
Thank you! Cheers!
Quality and entertaining 👌
Thanks Chris! Really appreciate it 👍
Best intro! 🤣
😜 😂 Like flaming globes of Sigmund!
Hey Keith.. Congrats for your videos, these are amazing and every time when you upload a new video I started by doing give you a like.
Thanks very much, Juan!! 🙏👍
I love this channell
Thanks man! Super appreciate that! 🙌
Great job Keith. Mitered boxes are hard to get right. And look at you. You did it all without a jig. Think I’m gonna stick with glue but the Thixo might be worth a try.
😜 My first jigless project in a long time!
Un altro lavoro bellissimo! 👏👏👏 Ben rifinito e molto elegante, complimenti 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Grazie per i tuoi video e, scusami se non scrivo in inglese 👋👋👋
🙏👍😎
Best to do it! No doubt
Thanks a ton, Cory!! 🙌 👊
HAHAHAHA! Love your Intros. "Nope! That's just a bald faced lie." LOLOL
😂 Just trying to keep it real 😜
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking it’s not a lie, if you believe it
@@evanlove808 😂🤣 that needle’s gonna be going wild!!!
Good
Thanks!
Wow
Thanks!
Yapıştıracaksın neden bağlantı kullandın. Yinede beğendim.
I'm going to take a gamble here and say maybe...
...But I wanted to learn how to increase the value of my home by 20%, by sprucing it up with a jazzy mantel!!
Stay tuned for more tips! 😂
Hey Wild Man! Another great job! 👍 Thanks. ( I kind of was hoping to see RM2C in 5% smoke, but you have to match. Thanks.
Thanks man! No future projects on the agenda with 5% smoke so go pick up a small sample bottle already!! 😜👊
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking - I’ve got it ordered. Thanks for all your great videos!
How is this the first time I’ve ever heard of Shop Sounds! I’ve seen Jason wear a shirt that said shop sounds and assumed it was a website where you guys get your wood working sound effects.
ha! I guess we haven't been doing a good job of marketing the podcast, but I guess we are reaching people one listener at a time 😜
Great video KJ, as always, thank you for sharing kind sir! What do you use to make sure that your blades are tilted to exactly 45 degrees? Woodpecker square? Digital angle gauge? Either acceptable?
Thank you sir!! Yes, I use a Woodpeckers instrument. I don't trust those digital angle gauges 😜
Круто. Спасибо.
🙏 👍 😎
What brand of hand sander are you using in the very end to clean up the the belt sander finish?
That's the Preppin' Weapon!! amzn.to/3ilxJlL
Hi Keith, great job. Why didn’t you use your jointer to get a clean edge instead of the track saw? Just a personal choice or is it quicker with the track saw?
My jointer was out of commission for a few weeks 👍🏻
Another great vid!
When using the microfibre cloths to buff your finish, how do you wash/reuse these? Or are they single use?
Good question! I just bought some rubio, but have yet to use it.
Thanks Sean!! Yeah, those microfiber cloths are one-time use only since the Rubio hardens on there. I buy them at Harbor Freight, so they are relatively inexpensive. You can use blue shop towels as well which would be a little cheaper.
Yes, one-time use only unless you have an industrial solvent cleaning washing machine 😜
Fully kyoard.
😂😆 I think I will use that spelling from now on.
Great videos!! You are an expert in woodworking. But many of us don’t have all the equipment you have in your shop. So I am not sure if DIY is a term that applies to your art. Congratulations.
Thanks for the kind words, Cecelia! For this project, all you really need is a table saw (or circular saw with an edge guide) to cut the bevels and then some glue to make the box mantel.
Great work, as usual. Love White oak. Just one question, is there any reason you didn't use a miter lock profile for the joints? We have a wood shaper and we are considering the investment in a cutting head that does the miter lock . Seems like a big time saver. Cheers
Thanks Gavin! I've never bought a miter lock bit after hearing so many horror stories about the setup and getting a consistent good fit. It's a great joint with a ton of surface area for glue, but I've yet to give it a try.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Set- up ! Hmm, there's always something. Though, we are set up with a power feed. so perhaps there is hope!
Apparently Jerry is hanging out in the "executive lounge" instead of filling his usual QC role.
😆😂 Executive lounge! Hilarious. I realized after I posted the video that Jerry and Lola weren't in this one. Their fan club is going to be very disappointed 😬😼😹
Mantap 👍👍👍
Thank you!🙏 👍
I sometimes wonder if you could glue an end grain veneer on the ends and increase your home's value by another 10%. But we might be entering diminishing returns...
😂😆 Dying!! LOL!
Keith - aren't those threaded inserts visible or, put another way, what did you do to make them not be visible the rest of the year? Thanks!
Well, they are below eye level and recessed just below your he surface. They aren’t visible unless you poke your head under there.
Ohhh! That was pickling my brain. I thought you'd put them on the front 😂. I thought it was just going to be one of those 'customer is always right' type of things.
@@leegreen287 Ah ok. Glad I was able to clear that up...my apologies for not making that clear enough in the video.
Why did you go with the clamex vs the tenso connectors from lamello? The tenso dont require the allen key hole. Also great video as always!
I like that ability to dry fit and remove easily if necessary. I fee those Tensos are pretty finally once snapped together.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking makes sense. Thank you for the answer.
@@matsler89 No problem! Thanks for the question 👍🏻
What type of white oak did you use for this mantel?
Rift
hey great work as usual but i feel short changed with no Lola & Jerry in this video .. lol
I don't blame you! When I was editing all the footage I couldn't believe they weren't in any of the video clips 😩
Hey Keith! Quick question for you. I noticed you didn't apply finish to the interior of the mantel. I'm making a flat file out of white oak and wondering if I need to apply finish to the inside of the carcass? Will it warp if I don't? Thanks Keith!!
Usually helpful to finish both sides. This piece was so small and securely fastened hat I wasn’t worried about warpage
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Thanks Keith!!
I know its been 2 years, but I'm wondering if the inserts are mounted on the under side?
Yes, they are.
I bet they ask you to build other little add ons for those threaded inserts
Let's hope!! 👍
Why not a french cleat? Im thinking of doing a mantel myself and saw someone use a french cleat.
A French cleat is a great option!
You could have stopped at the intro...the finished, installed mantel shot was like, Wow!" I like that the client had foresight about hanging stockings...we would not want any "handywork" on the homeowner's part when Xmas comes along, (it's best that Keith should do the deed). Did you fire the shop helpers?
Haha. Thanks Juliet! I actually brainstormed that intro on the way to the client's house for the install. 😂. And I thought the stocking thing was a great idea, so I was glad I could come up with a solution for the client's request. And I don't know where Jerry and Lola were on this one. I probably kicked them out because of all the time on the miter saw and table saw.
😍
🙏🏻👍🏻😎
I could build that too if I had all those tools. ha
😜😂😆
Are plywood cabinets worth it?
I’m a really good parallel parker
I tried to do this but when i was doing the 45deg cuts on the long pieces on my table saw, I created a wave pattern. What's the secret to keeping that piece near the rip fence.
Feather boards pushing material down
Great production, project and result. It's a glorious day to discover a KJ video in my que! (How's that for butt kissin'?)
Well, you’ve been instantly elevated #1 supporter of the week 🏆 😜
👍👍👍👍👍👍
🙏🏻👍🏻😎
BTW. I was watching a Bourbon Moth video and noticed him wearing on of your t-shirts. Just saying................ lol
Hmmm…he must have been out of clean clothes 😂
Lmao
Iam an Indonesian
Congrats! 👍🏻
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking thank you Mr Keith, awesome skill, love your channel, very educated, thats it from me right know
@@nanangsaputra4327 Thank you very much!! 🙏🏻😁
How much over your final length do you go for rough measurements? Also, bald face lie is hilarious!!!
Usually an inch or 2. And thanks! 😜
First!
Woo hoo!! 🙌
No Cats 😔
But otherwise a great video! 😁
Sorry! They will definitely be back in the next one. 😺 And thank you for the kind words!!
CLEAR packing tape?!?! Ugh! Not near green enough! 🤔
😂 I know! I felt like I was cheating. But sometimes you need to see what's happening underneath and my X-ray vision isn't what it used to be. 😜
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I hear ya man, sucks getting old! 🤣
@@levistocker3033 It’s a rough one 😂
The only problem here is the video is too short!
😂 No need to worry...the next one will be much longer 😜
So, you tryna tell me I have to get a fire place?
Only if you want a mantel 😂
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking maybe, I'll just beam myself from one wall to another.
I like the first few intros 🙄
Seems to be the Canadian consensus of opinion...
"increase 'your' homes value" - what is this, some kind of homeowner joke, that im too Gen Z to understand?! i will never be able to relate to that :D
It means increase your taxes
Just wait until you own a home, my friend 😉😎
