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.
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 😬
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!!!!
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 😬
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'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 !
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 👌
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. 🤣
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
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 ❤
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 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 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!
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.
@@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
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.
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
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💯😍!
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!
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 😂👍🏼🙏🏼
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.
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
Absolutely love this one! I first was thinking of doing a faux fireplace, but when I talked about it with my mom she said "Why not an electric fireplace?" (I cannot go for a real wood burning one, mostly because I am renting AND have an apartment above me so an indoor chimney is not possible and even an outdoor chimney will most probably not get approved. But also because wood burning fireplaces are very expensive.) I have been looking at those electric build in fireplaces, and I might be able to do that. But I do want an actual mantle, and not the modern type where the fireplace is build into a solid wall thing from floor to ceiling. I want to put some decorations on top of the mantle. And Pinterest kept showing me those solid things, some with a floating shelf, some without. But this one you made is quite close to what I imagined and was trying to find an example of, to be able to show my brother. One day when I am ready to buy the build in and the MDF and other materials, this will make a nice sibling project 😊
I’ve gotta tell you, this is not the way I’d have done this- especially in terms of measuring for my cuts instead of marking. Regardless, I’m really impressed with the result and can tell that the technique works for you. Great work.
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.
Came here in my research to try to learn to make this for my house and have learned that a table saw is something I need, but I don't know if I am willing to get one. But this video and your editing is absolutely stellar. You do this? This is fine stuff. Like, top-shelf work. If I get a table saw I'll be following this as well.
Thanks man! Yeah, table saws really help but you don’t need one for this. If you have the skills for a skil-saw or as some people call it, a circular saw, you can do this with that and a good saw guide. I feel like the cuts will never be quite as straight but with the right glue and sanding you can do it. I’ve built 100’s of mantels with a skip-saw before I finally decided it was time for the table saw 👍 thanks for watching!
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.
Great vids!!! I watched the coffered ceiling then the mantel. If you made a couple vids a week with this editing to a dedicated utube channel u would be a star. What do I know, I'm just a utube watcher not a creator. Nice work... subscribed
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.
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
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?
You can do it, maybe, maybe not, haha. Literally every second of your video is intentional and not wasted. You're my new #1 favorite youtube creator and editor. I'm definitely taking mad notes on how you build your content. Keep teaching and showing me your ways . however you need to add, tape measure pencil knife "brad nailer" to the name
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 🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭
You made no sense when you 1st started but as you went along your video direction was perfect .I’m 78 & I’m going to make mine. I’m excited. Unless of course you live in the Los Angeles area and want to come over and make mine your so fast. I can sand and paint , I’m just a little worried about how heavy it is to move about , and then three is the matter of I live in an apartment.now from what I can it’s about 5ft , that’s how tall I am so I would like to cut off about 6 in and maybe 6in in with. And as the Visio say babe I love you
What size brad nails did you use? Any particular compression level? Are the brads holding board to the the wall strong enough to hold the mantle or would you recommend screwing those to a stud? Great video btw thank you
Martin Diaz I use 16 gage 2 inch straight nails. Yeah they’re strong enough. Lots of blocking in there just for mounting the mantel. You could add screws if you want. Thank you!
Cheers mate! Huge confidence builder this one. One question: I have seen other builds use glue to make sure there won't be any lines (edges) opening up in the future, but you don't; is that not necessary in general, or only not in this particular build?
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 👌
Idk what’s more impressive the quality of your projects or the quality of your videos they’re both outstanding
Thank you!
Excellent video!
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.
Haha you tell ‘em! 😂 thank you! I don’t just build things, check out some other things on my channel
Never would've thought I'd find a dope soundtrack trying to look for TH-cam video's to remodel my mother-n-law's fireplace.DOPENESS!!

Would you happen to have build plans for this mantel or just watch it over and over lol.
I’m not building a mantel, but still watched the video! Very cool, entertaining, and informative. Keep it going!

It’s amazing watching you build this..great skills. Keep it up
Thanks!
Funky jams my man!😃👍my body involuntarily, broke into the Robot!
Haha perfect! 🤖
Very informative and entertaining
You are top-notch broski.
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 I measure long points and cut at 45° on the miter saw. It’s like tiny little picture frames.
@@TMPK Thanks for the quick response man! I wasn't expecting a response not to talks of getting it quickly. Wonderful, wonderful. I'll try it today.
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.
Great work!
This guy is KrAzY....a few screws loose
Wow ! Well done it looks awesome and the video was really entertaining and funny on top of being informative.
Well done awesome video production as well
Thanks!
Hermoso trabajo , lo haces parecer sencillo, pero es algo complicado 👏👏😁te felicito ,me encantó ,quiero una así 😁😁😁, saludos desde México
Gracias!
Great vids!!! I watched the coffered ceiling then the mantel. If you made a couple vids a week with this editing to a dedicated utube channel u would be a star. What do I know, I'm just a utube watcher not a creator. Nice work... subscribed
John Smith thank you! I don’t really care t be a TH-cam star but it’d be nice if the videos would pay for themselves 😂😂
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.
Video no Vedic
@@bbuddin1 @jaredturner YES Please !!
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 😂
Awesome video! Clicked not expecting a lot, but was awed by editing and music! Great job.
Jarrod Miller thanks man! Great name! 😎
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
@@Machspd heck yeah man! 💪💪
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 😬😅
Great video! Are there any written instruction on how to cut and assemble this mantel?
You can do it, maybe, maybe not, haha. Literally every second of your video is intentional and not wasted.
You're my new #1 favorite youtube creator and editor. I'm definitely taking mad notes on how you build your content.
Keep teaching and showing me your ways .
however you need to add, tape measure pencil knife "brad nailer" to the name
Haha thanks man! I always thought it would be cool to be named Brad and be a trim carpenter lol
@Jared Turner it would be way too convenient lol
Btw your music is dope also. Do you have a soundcloud or a place you stash some of your musical gems.
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!
You made no sense when you 1st started but as you went along your video direction was perfect .I’m 78 & I’m going to make mine. I’m excited. Unless of course you live in the Los Angeles area and want to come over and make mine your so fast. I can sand and paint , I’m just a little worried about how heavy it is to move about , and then three is the matter of I live in an apartment.now from what I can it’s about 5ft , that’s how tall I am so I would like to cut off about 6 in and maybe 6in in with. And as the Visio say babe I love you
Kudos to you..outstanding!
What size brad nails did you use? Any particular compression level? Are the brads holding board to the the wall strong enough to hold the mantle or would you recommend screwing those to a stud? Great video btw thank you
Martin Diaz I use 16 gage 2 inch straight nails. Yeah they’re strong enough. Lots of blocking in there just for mounting the mantel. You could add screws if you want. Thank you!
This is F-IN spectacular! Thank you thank you thank you!
Another great video. 👍🏻
Valerie J thanks!
Cheers mate! Huge confidence builder this one. One question: I have seen other builds use glue to make sure there won't be any lines (edges) opening up in the future, but you don't; is that not necessary in general, or only not in this particular build?
Thanks!
Maybe I didn’t get all the camera angles I should have, I definitely use glue everywhere wood touches wood
I'm curious to know how you painted this and what products you used. Painting MDF has some challenges.
Awesome video! I have to do a mantle for a corner fireplace on Monday (a little more difficult) came across this video trying to get ideas 🙏
If you have ideas for a corner fireplace let me know. I’m wondering about supporting it in the middle where there won’t be a leg
Thanks! I’m not sure what you mean by corner fireplace? Technically the one I built in this video was a 22° corner fireplace 🤷♂️
@@TMPK it’s on an outside corner. Wish I could send you a pic it’s pretty wild! Either way cool video, I’m definitely subscribing
@@shutupswan8677 you can send me a pic on Instagram if you have that, I’m @jared_m_turner
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 👌
