This was the most entertaining video I’ve seen in months. And I just stumbled upon him. I don’t build anything but this guy has me looking at saws and sanders 😂 Someone needs to sponsor this guy.
getting ready to do a project where I need to remove the existing mantel and completely redo it. I'm a complete DIY beginner and learn everything I know from youtube videos. THIS WAS THE BEST I'VE SEEN. Thanks so much!!!!
Thanks man! Check out the others! I edit my videos around music. I started with rapping and producing music, then I realized video editing isn’t that different and started cutting my vids to the music. Love when someone notices the music selection 😬
I'm preparing to make a mantel /surround myself, I'm a retired finish carpenter and I was looking for some fresh Ideas, it was a pleasure to see you work, Thanks Jared !
I gotta say, I searched TH-cam today to find a how to build a 5 minute scrappy standalone faux fireplace for our stockings, ran across your video which isn’t even kind of what I needed, and literally couldn’t stop watching. Quality content right here! Subscribed.
This video is so entertaining I had to watch it a second time to actually learn how to build the fireplace mantle because the first time I was just so mesmerized by the production quality of the video.
Thanks! everybody can make boring construction videos, I gotta make it entertaining in order to be entertained enough to make it or some such variation of that 😬
Awesome video!! Just finished my mantel I did the exact design on my fireplace, thank you man, I gotta say it was really entertaining watching the video, I probably watched it like twenty times as I was working on the mantel.
I’ve been wanting a faux fireplace mantel for the longest time and my husband who is a carpenter by trade just never has the time to build one for me…you made this fireplace mantel look so easy, l mean easy for you, but l’m going to give it try and make one myself! Btw, l like you tee shirt l’m an Aries too, maybe that’s why l love your video and your zany humor…your wife’s lucky to have you! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and and talent…l love that fireplace ❤
Richard Correa yes sir! I’m a rapper/ music producer first so I know how to find the kick and snare drum peaks in the editing timeline. That’s where you cut the video clips 👌
@@wesrobinson7366 if you get it sanded well the first time it hides the lines. But I think the end side of the MDF does absorb the paint different than the surface so a light sanding after the first coat might help with that. My personal mantel in my house is about 4 years old now and I haven’t noticed lines showing yet. Just use the glue liberally lol
I've been looking ALL OVER TH-cam for someone to see how I can build a DIY mantel for an idea 💡 that I have for a space in my house. This has been the most entertaining straightforward video by far that I have seen. I really enjoyed watching this video that I 👀 watched it multiple times. I just wish that you labeled 🏷 everything down in the description box 📦 because I was so ready to run to Home Depot after watching this. 😂 I'll just have to keep watching and make a list of the materials that you mentioned. I just hope mine comes out as good as yours did 👍 wish me luck. 🤣
This guy is so funny and talented. It was a little annoying at first because I’m always in such a hurry to see the finished product, however the video was so entertaining to watch it sort of helped me to just be more patient all the way to the end. This video was so thought out and strategically arranged I would give it an A+ for entertainment and educational value. Great work! I generally don’t subscribe to stuff like this however, I’m delighted to say, you’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the great work!
I just built a similar mantle based entirely on this video. I've watched it so many freaking times it's unreal... Thanks for that-- my wife is very impressed with me now and I absolutely did not give you credit haha. We'll let her think I'm the genius for a little longer! Thanks again for the great video this was really helpful.
I'm probably older than your dad and just retired. I'm getting ready to build a mantel, wanted ideas and found your video. I never realized that I would be entertained and would enjoy learning your methods of carpentry too. I had never heard the song "Tempted" before and had to go search for it on TH-cam. Thanks for the education and even more for the entertainment.
Thanks! Happy to help any way I can. I found that song on “artlist” It’s a company for copyright free songs to use in TH-cam videos. My subscription expired a while back and I switched to “epidemic sound” It’s about the same yearly price and maybe a little better for music. thanks for watching! My dad is 64. 🤣
I must say, I really enjoyed your video😍! You're a lil goofy & silly & you had me laughing to you while you work🤣! I thought I wanted to add some type of cover & legs to my boring floating mantle, but you just showed me it's a lot of work! Your craftsmanship is great & I love it💯😍!
Just a tad late on this post but this is the 1st video of TMPK that I ever watched. Inspired me to rip out the builders grade mantle in my place and replace it with your design. Trying to figure out how to post a pic for you to view. Sincerely enjoy watching your channel!! Merry Christmas & God Bless.
Loved the video. I going to build a mantel using the approach. I will be covering over and existing mantel of sorts so I will b boxing around what is already there. It looks like you are using a brad nailer. Not sure what length brad I should use? I'm thinking 1.5"? Anyway really like the video
Total project duration: Mantel from start to finish - 3 hours Video editing - 3 days On a serious note, great content and really nice looking mantel. Thanks pal
Watched coffered ceiling video and now this one too you my friend are going to take over TH-cam the editing the beats the actual work and the humor are all on point cheers from Los Angeles 👍🏼🙏🏼👏🏼🤙🏼 please keep it going! Liked and subscribed!
Jonathan Woken thanks brother! The editing takes so much longer than the projects. I’ve been working on a video for 3 days right now and I’m 3 minutes into probably a 12 - 15 minute video lol
Jared And Cassy haha take breaks dude and take your time cause the editing is setting you apart bigtime from everyone else I literally went to my local hardware store to get my coffered ceiling materials this morning 😂👍🏼🙏🏼
Very cool video and nice job on the mantel. I worked at a place called Foster Mantels for 18 years in SF Bay Area. Best job ever working in the shop building custom sized mantels. Did everything there from build the mantels to working in the office doing up the shop work orders and production schedule to selling in the showroom on Saturdays. Miss it a lot. Don't miss that nasty MDF or the xmas rush people panic to get their mantel before xmas or it will be ruined..LOL
Thanks! Nah, the main part is sitting on the concrete and I raise the boots or base around the legs a little for the hardwood to go under, then come back later with 1/4 round to wrap it again.
I loved this! Wish I had a handy husband. This my dream Mantle! I would like to learn how to build unique bird feeders! If you have a video, please send my a link. How about a beginner channel where we start with basic tools and saws and grow??? Thank you soooo much!
Great content, Jared! You get perfect tens on Design, Craftsmanship, and Presentation! Would it be possible for you to share how much you charge for this build?
Actually I completed a chimney mantel bump-out for an electrical fireplace along with board and batten wall for a family member and I am getting request to do others, but I am running into a challenge as I do not know what to charge. Is there a site you can point me to to help with estimating these types of projects?
@@luisasantin4989 no, I never know what to charge for new things either. What I do is try to estimate how long it will take me and then multiply that times $50 per hour labor. Sometimes it takes less time than I estimated, sometimes more, but I’ve found that $50 is a reasonable guess for bidding projects.
Nice job, the trim work is a LOT of work lol. I almost would've stopped without it for a basic shaker style look but the trim detail really makes it stand out.
Jared Turner finally got around to building, finishing and installing a new mantle. Followed almost step by step measurements and it turned out awesome, thanks again. Oh yeah and sick name lol
Great to see someone having fun with their DIY project. New subbie, I'm digging you and your channel. Me and the hubby will be watching for more DIY projects.
First time watching this video. Its awesome. You are awesome. I'm definitely making me a mantel with thiner wood. I just finished my bachelor degree i work from home and I'm bored. Determined to get it done for the christmas. LOVE 💘 FROM LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA.
Thank you! That’s what I like to hear!!! Good luck with your build! TMPK just hit the east side of the LBC on a mission tryna find Mr..... Mantel. Mr. Mantel yeah lol
@@bethankful7227 these things weigh 100 plus pounds! Probably cost more to ship than build! Maybe I can find a way to make a fireproof foam mantel mold and just mass produce these things! 🤷♂️
@@TMPK Honestly..I would pay the cost 🤷🏾♀️🤣🤣..I've been wanting 😩 the fireplace completed since we purchased our home. Thanks Jared for responding. BLESSINGS in 2021.
Jared, I cannot seem to figure out how you cut the inside corners of base cap to fit the inside the panels on the legs and middle section. I got the 1 3/8'' width base cap similar to the one shown in the video (0:45). I watched the part where you were doing the actual cuttings, but I still could not figure out how you placed the work piece. I will appreciate any help.
Abdul T that’s what I’m here for man! I know the videos are too fast and confusing sometimes. I’m working on that 🤷♂️ check out my latest flat coffered ceiling video. I use the same basecap in those ceiling panels, and maybe I explain it better on there👍👍
@@TMPK I got it watching coffered ceiling video and I to lay the base cap flat on the mitre saw to cut 45 degree inside corners. Before, I was standing it vertically. Such a simple process but got me frustrated, but thanks to your assistance I was able to get going again. Appreciate it sir.
Love the Vedic on how to build a fireplace mantel. I have wanted to make on and I love the one you built. Could you give a list of the materials and the measurements in your video. Would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks! I probably would if it was my choice but mdf is cheaper. And you can paint the side of mdf where plywood would need some like of veneer. or use real wood on the face frames.
I still haven’t made a how to crown mold video but cutting it flat is just another way. You’re ending up with the same cut but you’re beveling the saw and turning the miter. That’s a compound cut. If the room has all 45° corners you set the saw once and never move it again. You only flip the crown on its back or face. There’s also different types of crown, one sits on the wall and ceiling at 45° and one sits at 38°, pretty weird but that means different angles for each kind.
Jared, you inspired me to build this and I am just finishing up construction and thinking about painting the mantle surround. There is a lot of discussion on the best way to seal MDF to prevent swelling and prep for paint, so I thought I would ask the expert. What do you recommend? Thanks
I wish I knew! I’d just start with a primer and end with a semi-gloss. I don’t paint often but in my limited experience with painting mdf, it takes several coats, like at least 4. With light sanding in between coats. It’s not fun but it turns out so pretty 👌
Wtf is this dudes problem.. 😭 nail gun to the beat of the most obscure songs, staring into my soul while hardly saying anything comprehensive, random eyeballs and effects.. I still don’t know how to make a mantle but this was superb.
I disagree. The nail gun was hardly vertically aligned with the given tempo and meter of the selected music repertoire. I’d be impressed if he could do that. I have a degree in music and I can’t make any of my pneumatic nailers work to be reliable percussion instruments. Maybe my battery powered Ryobi. That thing makes a better percussion instrument than it does a nailer. In all serious, It took me a few watches to get over the eccentricities of the video. Not my cup o’ tea. However, After 19 watches of the video and paying attention, I did build a kick ass fireplace. It is the best fireplace surround on TH-cam. Thank You!
Thanks! I don’t have a playlist. I get my royalty free music from epidemic sound. And before that I tried artlist. So far I like epidemic better, mostly because of the sound effects they have as well
Not sure if you are still answering questions about this video, but how do you determine the angle cut for the small inside trim on decorative boxes? I have followed this video all the way and I'm stuck! Do you flip trim over upside down?
@@arthurgarzon2475 I don’t do any of the painting at work. I’m just the carpenter so I build it then leave. I’m pretty sure the painters use a sprayer though. Primer first, light sanding, paint, sand, paint again. MDF usually takes 3 to 4 coats of paint because it’s so absorbent.
Thank you for the video. We have followed your instructions and we are at the point of adding the coving. We only have a mitre cutting block with a 45-degree angle and we are super confused about how to do the 35 degree angle with a 30 degree bevel without the correct equipment. Does it have to be a 35 degree angle or would a simple 45 degree angle suffice? It looks fantastic thank you so much for the superb high quality video; best on TH-cam.
Thanks! That’s a tough one to explain in text. I would recommend searching “how to cut crown molding on mitre box” or something like that. There’s an “upside down & backwards” method for those who don’t have the compound angle saw. You would set the crown, upside down the way it would be sitting as if your box was the ceiling/wall corner, then simply cut it on a 45° angle
Been watching build videos eversince, but never enjoyed til I stumbled upon your channel. Inspired! with your great workmanship and editing... Love it man! New sub here! Mabuhay! from Philippines 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭
thanks! I always build the mantel specific to what size the wall and fireplace are. I normally like 6 inches from the fireplace box to the legs and 12 inches from the top of the fireplace box to the bottom of the mantel. And if the legs are 10 inch wide, I would make the part below the crown also 10 inches. The top is normally 2 inch thick and goes 5 inch each way off the left and right, and 5 inches off the front. But I guess that depends on crown size. I use a 5 1/4 crown. I’m sure someone online has similar plans if you need them, but it’s mostly a freestyle every time.
Idk what’s more impressive the quality of your projects or the quality of your videos they’re both outstanding
Thank you!
Excellent video!
I came here to say a similar thing and inquired if he did all his own edits
This was the most entertaining video I’ve seen in months. And I just stumbled upon him. I don’t build anything but this guy has me looking at saws and sanders 😂 Someone needs to sponsor this guy.

@@bbuddin1 @jaredturner YES Please !!
Not sure what's most impressive: the carpentry, the video production, or the wicked soundtrack. That nailgun's got a mad beat, yo.
Thanks man! The editing takes the longest lol
Great video !! Why not use cabinet grade plywood?
Thanks! I probably would if it was my choice but mdf is cheaper. And you can paint the side of mdf where plywood would need some like of veneer. or use real wood on the face frames.
At 1:17 you indicate cutting "7 /12 front of legs" then indicate "X3? Should that be x2?
The 3rd leg comes into play at 13:31
How did you cut the crown molding laying down on the chop saw. I thought it had to be upside down and backwards. Love the video.
I still haven’t made a how to crown mold video but cutting it flat is just another way. You’re ending up with the same cut but you’re beveling the saw and turning the miter. That’s a compound cut. If the room has all 45° corners you set the saw once and never move it again. You only flip the crown on its back or face. There’s also different types of crown, one sits on the wall and ceiling at 45° and one sits at 38°, pretty weird but that means different angles for each kind.
sick beats, sicker videography. Shit. Sick project. You're going places my man!!!
Jared, you inspired me to build this and I am just finishing up construction and thinking about painting the mantle surround. There is a lot of discussion on the best way to seal MDF to prevent swelling and prep for paint, so I thought I would ask the expert. What do you recommend? Thanks
I wish I knew! I’d just start with a primer and end with a semi-gloss. I don’t paint often but in my limited experience with painting mdf, it takes several coats, like at least 4. With light sanding in between coats. It’s not fun but it turns out so pretty 👌
Excellent job but what is the going rate to make a mantle for someone?
Thanks! The one I made is around 600 or 700 material and labor unpainted. That’s with MDF sheets around $60! They used to be much cheaper
Wtf is this dudes problem.. 😭 nail gun to the beat of the most obscure songs, staring into my soul while hardly saying anything comprehensive, random eyeballs and effects.. I still don’t know how to make a mantle but this was superb.
Hahaha comment award
I disagree. The nail gun was hardly vertically aligned with the given tempo and meter of the selected music repertoire. I’d be impressed if he could do that. I have a degree in music and I can’t make any of my pneumatic nailers work to be reliable percussion instruments. Maybe my battery powered Ryobi. That thing makes a better percussion instrument than it does a nailer.
In all serious, It took me a few watches to get over the eccentricities of the video. Not my cup o’ tea. However, After 19 watches of the video and paying attention, I did build a kick ass fireplace. It is the best fireplace surround on TH-cam. Thank You!
I love these videos! Quite informative and very motivational to get me started on some DIYs. Keep them coming! Great work man!
Choman Mustafa thanks! Always got one in the works. As you can probably tell editing these takes videos awhile lol
I’m more impressed how you throw that 4x8 mdf around. Shits heavy
I’m in the chiropractor getting adjusted about once a month. 😅
Man, great editing. I love that all the sounds are synced with the music.
Can you point me to a playlist for all the music you use on your videos?
Thanks! I don’t have a playlist. I get my royalty free music from epidemic sound. And before that I tried artlist. So far I like epidemic better, mostly because of the sound effects they have as well
Do you still build mantles for a fireplace.
It’s amazing watching you build this..great skills. Keep it up
Thanks!
Enjoyed that, great background track!
the video was so awesome!! I must ha e seen it a dozen times. no joke. did you sofen the edges at all?
Thanks! Yeah you always gotta soften the edges cause mdf will flake off super easy if it gets bumped by something
Not sure if you are still answering questions about this video, but how do you determine the angle cut for the small inside trim on decorative boxes? I have followed this video all the way and I'm stuck! Do you flip trim over upside down?
Those are 90° angles, so 45° cuts. If you’re stuck on the base cap inserts, the crown mould is gonna be terrible 😬😅
How do you paint it? To make it look so good?
@@arthurgarzon2475 I don’t do any of the painting at work. I’m just the carpenter so I build it then leave. I’m pretty sure the painters use a sprayer though. Primer first, light sanding, paint, sand, paint again. MDF usually takes 3 to 4 coats of paint because it’s so absorbent.
Great video. Great music.
Thank you for the video. We have followed your instructions and we are at the point of adding the coving. We only have a mitre cutting block with a 45-degree angle and we are super confused about how to do the 35 degree angle with a 30 degree bevel without the correct equipment. Does it have to be a 35 degree angle or would a simple 45 degree angle suffice? It looks fantastic thank you so much for the superb high quality video; best on TH-cam.
Thanks! That’s a tough one to explain in text. I would recommend searching “how to cut crown molding on mitre box” or something like that. There’s an “upside down & backwards” method for those who don’t have the compound angle saw. You would set the crown, upside down the way it would be sitting as if your box was the ceiling/wall corner, then simply cut it on a 45° angle
You should have way more subscribers. Very talented.
Thanks! I got plenty 😁
Been watching build videos eversince, but never enjoyed til I stumbled upon your channel. Inspired! with your great workmanship and editing... Love it man! New sub here! Mabuhay! from Philippines 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you! more coming soon!
It came out very nice! Good job!! Can you give dims of your projects . My husband and I want to replicate your design . Thank you
thanks! I always build the mantel specific to what size the wall and fireplace are. I normally like 6 inches from the fireplace box to the legs and 12 inches from the top of the fireplace box to the bottom of the mantel.
And if the legs are 10 inch wide, I would make the part below the crown also 10 inches. The top is normally 2 inch thick and goes 5 inch each way off the left and right, and 5 inches off the front. But I guess that depends on crown size. I use a 5 1/4 crown.
I’m sure someone online has similar plans if you need them, but it’s mostly a freestyle every time.
@@TMPK thank you ! That kinda give me an idea . We have a corner fireplace just like the one you made mantel for .
hey man great video!!! do you have the plan for the mantal?
I'm lost like hell, all those measurements. But this is a great video. Fun watching you. Thanks for playing good music, by the way.
Thanks! Lol
I spend a lot of time choosing the right songs for these videos. Probably too much time 😂
👍👍👍 I will try to build one I am a little nervous about the angle cuts
You can do it! Just take your time 😎
