In this video I build, paint and install a fireplace mantel. I show my various methods for building the structure. Then I dig deep into how I cut and install the various moldings, and I give a behind the scenes look at my spray finishing process. I also show a few of my favorite router bits and where I use them. Hopefully you enjoy the video.

I used to watch the New Yankee Workshop as a kid to marvel at Norm’s technique, shop, and tools. Mike, I think you may be the 21st century Norm Abrams.
Thank you. That is the best compliment I can receive. I grew up watching Norm as well.
Norm taught me what i know too. Loved the NYW
@@chriswebb810 He's a great teacher.
I used to love that program.
@@johngunning2123 It taught me everything I know about watching other people have really cool tools! lol
I've been a carpenter for 20 + years starting out rough framing and made my way into trim and I'm here to tell you that you're the best I've ever seen do it just saw one of you're videos today and plan on watching the rest , I will be a forever subscriber! Very Very nice work
Thank you. Coming from a fellow pro, that is great to hear.
it's good to see someone who doesn't demonise the use of biscuits and pocket screws.
Both are important for millwork projects.
And the 2020 Award for Best Deadpan Humor in a Woodworking Video goes to..... Mike Farrington!!!!! Congrats man, I always get a chuckle out of your videos.
Ha! Thank you.
I’ve missed listening to your hypnotic narration... great video as always, hope you and the family are doing ok. 👍👏
Thank you.
THAT. . . is, once again, SUPERB WORK!!!!!!!
Thank you Mark.
I do appreciate a carpenter whose every cut is right first time. ;)
Thank you.
Nice project. I like the Naplean Dynamite reference.
Thanks!
"I've never needed to do that either"...Love it, and the mantle is absolutely stunning! Love watching you work sir!
Ha! Thank you.
Very nice job, your shop assistant is very cute, must take after her mother.
Ha! She does. I laughed out loud when I read this. Great comment.
This gentleman is not only a great craftsman but a stand-up guy. I bought a double taper disc from him and had some issues with UPS. He ironed that out right away.
Thank you James.
Ahh a Mike Farrington video. I am at peace in this chaotic world. Awesome video, as usual
Thank you very much.
Who knew building a fireplace mantel could be so entertaining! Looks beautiful! Welcome back, we missed you!
Thank you. Great to be back.
God, it's so refreshing to meet a guy who also never makes mistakes! I was starting to think I was the only one. Fantastic, as always.
Ha! Thank you. We are few and far between.
😂My dad says, "I've only ever made one mistake. It was that time when I thought I had made a mistake but then I realized I hadn't." 😁
Grandma was right - it DOES look smart! Great work, as always. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
I hope the shop apprentice is well. Nice to see the new shop apprentice princess 👍😎
Thank you. They are both doing well.
You sir are a craftsman of the highest quality thank you 😊
Wow, thank you!
Always something amazing when Mike drops a new video. Thanks for taking the time to make us all smart(er).
Thank you very much.
Wow I wish I know a professional master carpenter like you. This is my idea of perfection which rarely exists in the UK
Wow, thanks
Whomever put thumbs down has never built anything in there life. Great job brother
Thank you.
I think I speak for everyone when I say: You're a badass. Love the Zelda shirt.
Thank you. Zelda was one of my favorite games. Brought back memories when I saw the shirt on the rack.
Great looking San Diego style mantel. I worked for my dad's stair company in North County in the 80s and early 90s. We built nearly identical mantels for every 3rd or 4th project. Although, back then they would be solid oak 75% of the time. They are definitely fun to make.
Same here, I have probably done 50 just like this one. From Chula Vista to sound Orange County.
I built a fireplace mantle for electric fireplace and tv enclosure based on your Video! awesome work Mike,!! My family loves it!
That is awesome!
Very smart, our grandmother must have been friends. Glad to see you videoing your work, always take a minute and play with your children, they grow up to fast, later.
Ha! Thank you, will do.
Another great project perfectly executed. The size, spacing, proportions, and fit of the moldings really work to give the project the look of an old master! You're getting the hang of this woodworking game. Mackintosh would approve.
Thank you. Funny you should mention Mackintosh, who happens to be one of my very favorites, I am considering building a small table based on one of his designs.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the build! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great video. So glad I found your channel !
Thank you.
He makes everything complicated but is for home owners I guess it's a good video
Nothing complicated about this build. Simple and clean.
Great Job Mike.
Thank you.
losing Eddie really hurt, at least he made peace with Dave and Michael before going. Its a shame we wont get that tour they were working on with dave and mike rejoining.
Yup, total downer, may he Rest In Peace.
would love to see an after pic when the stack stone is installed.
Me too. Who knows when all that will be done. I maybe be doing some more work for the same customer, if that's the case then I'll snap a pic.
You're number 1 in my heart
Aww, thanks!
One reason I love your channel is because it's the perfect mix of OCD and sarcasm, just like me. I really need one of those v-groove flush trim bits *SANTA*.
Thank you. The v groove bits are really cool.
Its ok if you’re into that perfection thing.
Ha! Thank you.
It really should have been "The Shop Apprincess". Missed opportunity there.
I thought he did say that??
Yup, that's what I tried to say.
@@MikeFarrington Yeah, I caught that later when you actually said it. LOL
Nice work, btw! Looks great!
@@dgoddard Thank you.
Nicely done. Your humor is as good as your craftsmenship!
Thank you.
Dude, I really enjoyed watching your video. I'm a smoothe jazz musician and my music teacher reccomended I watch interviews of many other musicians to learn from them. the reason I especially appreciated your video is because you let us know that we lost eddie van Halen. I really enjoyed his interviews. Your mantle video is a huge help to this wood working novice.
JD Jones Toledo ohio 🙂👍
That's awesome!
More likely “for the other contractors to come mess up my work” in my experience haha!
Ha! I didn't want to say that.
“While their name implies they’re worth nothing, their number one in my heart” 🤣
Ha!
Ooh, a new Mike Farrington video! Forget everything else on my 'Watch Later' list for 22 minutes... 😃
Thank you very much.
You are my spirit animal
Ha! Love it.
COOL !!!
Awesome job
Thanks guys.
Honestly thought you’d go with “Miter Clamp” for the heavy metal band name there.
Ha! Maybe that will be the title of our first album.
And the main man is back. Don’t leave it so long next time Mike. Another master class from the woodworking messiah. Great work pal 👍🏻
Thank you very much. I'll try to be around more.
Mike, you are the "Biscuit Samurai"! keep up the good work.
I like that, thank you.
"I'm mike farrington and welcome to my shop, AKA The Board Room", I missed that at the beginning.
Seriously....you're slipping Farrington.
Ha! Sorry about that. I get that sorted for next video.
0:50 i think somebody has a clamping problem. You know, the 1st step is admitting to yourself, your addicted to clamps
Yes, I do have a problem...
Finally someone else who also makes perfect cuts the first time every time! 😂😉
You and me both.
I really ❤️ your carpenter work, and your calming voice...
Thank you.
Nice! How much would one of these cost?
Thank you. I don't talk price in the TH-cam comments section, it wouldn't be fair to the customer. If you would like a bid, send me an email via my website.
If I ever start a metal band its going to be called "Guillotine Discharge"
Ha! I'll open for you.
I build arcades from MDF. For painting and making cut edges stronger, mix 5 parts water to 1 part wood glue, paint exposed cuts with a foam brush, allow it to dry (raising the grain), then sand with 120 grit. This will make the edges very strong, resistant to denting and will allow the paint a smooth surface that doesn't soak paint.
very nice! thanks
Thanks, good tip.
That turned out nice.
Thank you.
0:55... needs more clamps
Ha! You can never have enough clamps.
Always a good day when a new Mike Farmington video comes out!
Thank you.
Mike great vid as usual. Pro tip for you, take out your nifty dremel and cut all those ribs off your blade guard except for the first, middle and last one. Guard stays in place, and your vision is now awesome...
Thank you. Good tip.
There are two shows I get excited about when I see a new one pop up...This Old House and Mike Farrington! Thanks for the video (s) !
Thats the highest compliment I could receive.
I'll watch anything with Tom Silva in it!
Details are FLAWLESS !!!!!
Thank you.
I used to work at a winery (for fun) and said if I ever started a band I would call it "Crushing Merlot". Nice work!
Crushing Merlot, great band name. Ha!
that pro tip about the v groove flush trim bit.. i can't wait to use that!
Glad it was helpful!
Big fan from India 🥳
Thank you!
I've watched this video several times. I built a mantle for a friend of mine. Although it was nothing like this, I learned a lot from watching this video.
The funny thing is that I've incorporated many of the techniques shown here, but not realizing where I learned them until I watched the video again.
Mike, you deserve a lot of credit for my wood working improvement... and my dry sarcasm.
Thank you very much. This is a great compliment.
Mike, words can not express how sincerely apologetic I am for missing this video!! I'll try to never let that happen again. I look forward to each one of your videos & pride myself on dropping a comment on each one. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thank you very much. No need to apologize, one of the great things about streaming is you can watch it whenever you want.
Your craftsmanship is amazing.
Thank you.
How did i not know such a router bit existed !! Thanks
Its a good one to add to the collection.
You sir, are the Jedi Master of moulding! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. That is a great compliment to receive.
Awesome work Mike, the sarcasm travels beautifully across the pond 👌👍
Ha! Thank you.
Best mantel build I’ve seen yet
Thank you Sam.
Really nice job mike
Thank you.
Stunning. This will be an invaluable resources in about two months when I tackle my first commissioned mantle.
Thank you. Good luck. Keep me updated on how it goes.
You are awesome dude. It’s rare to see someone that really knows what’s he is doing.
That mantle is perfect!!
Thank you very much.
Love the tip about using a v-groove router bit on MDF butt joints.
That is a cool tip for sure.
Mr Farrington let me tell you how good it is to see u back putting content out. Always make time to watch your videos. Looks great!👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you very much.
Great & EXCELLENT JOB!!!!
Thank you very much!
Great build, Mike. I always like the way you can take a fussy build and simplify it for us along with adding your humor. Take good care of the little ones.
Bill
Thank you. Will do.
Mr Farrington
Great job and great job on the spray technique.
Your shop princess is a cutie
Thank you and thank you.
Wow! You are so smart. I wish I could learn what you do. Looks like a lot of fun.
Thank you 🤗
I've never had to re-cut either!! Heck, I don't even measure, I just cut and it's perfect!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ha!
everything job you do is clean and nice and you have a large shop very nice too
Thank you.
Yup, always enjoy following along. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Amazing job!
Thank you.
A appreciate your precision and quality of your work, and wish I had a shop like this.
Thank you very much!
Crisp and sharp clean lines and edges in your designs produce a classic and handsome mantel that is understated yet timeless. Good work as always.
Thank you very much.
Absolutely beautiful work. Love the care to detail and your shop set up is on point! Thanks for sharing.
