this guy is the bob ross of finish carpentry minus the happy trees. his voice is golden.
Ha! Thank you? I grew up watching Bob Ross. He was great. I may need to throw in a "happy little something" in an upcoming video.
that voice is silky smooth, he should start recording himself reading children's books!
That would be a good gig.
I swear between the voice and the workmanship its like man therapy...I'm gonna put it on when I take a nap HAHAHHA!
I'll take that. Thank you!
Love your style. All of it - video, voice, woodworking, life lessons, family. Very endearing and watchable. Thank you for putting in a huge effort to make these special.
Thank you for the kind words.
Gotta say, the respect you have for your audience and the care and creativity that went into this video...well, it’s a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing your own project at your own home with us. It came out beautiful.
Thank you very much.
What he said ^
Mike, as a builder I always pay attention to the trim work. Done right, it is one of the keys to a well received finished home. Your work is absolutely beautiful and very professional. Wish there were more guys like you. Thanks
Thank you. I couldn't agree more, its one of the most important pieces to a nice house.
Stars in my eyes...You, my friend are a pro and a gentleman. You have a beautiful family and a home to match.
Thank you very much.
Again, this is just meticulous, detailed, STELLAR work - coupled with a matter-of-fact style of presentation.
This too, was a fantastic video!
Thank you very much Mark.
I’ve been working on our home for years and now getting to the fine finishes. Your video is outstanding. I learned so many nice tips from you. I love your finish work. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
What a nice voice this guy has,it relaxes me. I admit that I'm a little worried about the shop apprentice being around with all those tools.
Thank you. No need to worry, he's under close supervision.
I love how your baby is with you and watching. He has a great teacher.
Thank you. Its a pleasure to have the little guy near me.
You are the definition of a craftsman. Your attention to detail is amazing. And then way you present is great. I find myself entranced the same way I was by Norm Abram and the New Yankee Workshop in my 20's.
Thanks for sharing your work and talent.
I grew up watching reruns of Norm. This would have been years before I ever did any woodworking. For some reason I liked the show. Thank you for such a nice compliment.
It is enjoyable watching a true craftsman. There is only one word to describe the finished project - "Excellent".
Thank you very much Mike.
"I sign ALL of my work...I think it's important..." haha!
i have no idea how to do any of this stuff but i'm trying to learn. Took me 2 hours to fix a light bulb fixture and I didn't get electrocuted so ...yea. But his voice is so calming. I could watch him explain stuff for hours. Really informative.
Ha! Thank you.
Cool video. Never thought I'd sit through a 25min video of a room renovation, but you're tips and insight are fantastic. Love your sense of humour too. Shame you didn't have a kumiko panel included!
Thank you. Well I'm glad you did. Quick heads up. I have 4 furniture pieces planned for this room, one of which is a floor standing lamp with some kumiko. I probably won't get to that for a while, but when I do I'll make a video.
Niiiiiiice. I look forward to it. Thanks for the content, Mike.
Attention to detail is great man, you don't often see that kind of craftsmanship and the hard work put into projects. Awesome job!
I appreciate that!
They final finish when you and your family give high fives and hugs was quite nice and emotional.
Thank you very much. Nothing more important than family.
Tastfully elegant & simple- looking, Mike.
Thank you Phil.
Alright there Mike, I can’t remember how many time I’ve watched this particular project. With your workmanship, eye for detail and calm soothing voice it’s my go to chill out video😊. Thanks mike, keep up that quality content, all the best buddy.
Thank you very much Paul.
Outstanding project Mike! Really like the way the room turned out, looks fantastic. Great video, easy to follow along and understand. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much.
Definitely an old-school type a guy! It’s awesome when you’re fine a person like this. Great job
Thank you.
I am looking forward to more of your work. I enjoy learning nd you are an awesome instructor. Including your family, especially your darling son is wonderful. He will learn from a master. Your dining room came out so wonderful. Looking forward to see what else you do to your home. Way cool beyond words is your workshop. Love all the tools you have. My father was a Special Effects Man for the studios in California. Wish I had spent more time watching him in his shop. Be good to your sweet boy. He's a fortunate little guy.
Thank you very much. I'll have another video out soon.
Looks great. Another excellent project and another excellent video.
Thank you very much!
This was so therapeutic to watch. Love the new dining room and your hard work!
Thank you very much.
I'm watching this with the news on in the background. The Easter Bunny is kicking a couple's ass. Literally. Anyway, phenomenal job on that dining room!!! I'll be referencing this video again and again in a few weeks.
Thank you very much.
I just love watching your project videos. You are the Bob Ross of woodworking, in that you make it look effortless and the whole experience is somehow calming.
Thank you very much!
I have just binge watched a load of your videos, awesome stuff!
Thanks for the crown moulding tip as well, I always get caught short when doing it myself.
Thank you. Doing crown alone can be a real pain. Happy to hear this helped.
Love the renovation! I really enjoy watching your little assistant, quite adorable. As well, I appreciate all of the tips you share, I have learned quite a bit from you. Thanks again for the share :)
Thank you very much.
Absolutely stunning. The work, care, and pride is all there, and this video felt like listening to waves crash on the beach all night. Simply beautiful. Very zen.
Thank you very much.
Sir, you are.the BEST at what you do!!!👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you.
The dining room looks really sharp - love the panels.😃👌👏👏👏👏
Thank you.
Solid work, Mike! The construction adhesive circles is a new one for me, I'll be stealing that one....cheers!
Thank you Andy. Steal away, thats what my channel is all about. After all, it was something I picked up from someone else...
Sharing the knowledge! Love it...
It works great for stainless steel in commercial kitchens too, only we use silicone.
Man you are best woodworker maestro,congratulations
Thank you very much.
@@MikeFarrington you welcome
Not only was that a pleasure to watch and listen to for the technical info, my absolute favorite part of this clip was the commentary at the end. After all, what we do in life SHOULD be driven by what gives us meaning. It was a perfect way to wrap up the story. Well done.
Thank you very much. It was a fun project, and its been fun eating with the family in there. We have already made a few memories.
Beautiful work! Loved your narration technique, too, and ESPECIALLY your little helper! Would love to see the room after it was completely decorated - drapes, pictures,etc.
Thank you very much. Have a look at my picture frame video I have a few shots with some decorations in there.
Excellent video, love your work especially the commentary. The end result, just stunning.
Wow, thank you for the very kind words.
Stunning craftsmanship.
Thank you very much.
You’re shop apprentice is adorable ☺️
Thank you! 😊
Lovely work, has inspired me to give it a go over here in England so thank you! Love your little helper in the video following daddy's steps!
Thank you.
Love this! Can't wait to share with my husband! Thank you for including needed / preferred tools as you go!
Thank you for watching.
I just watched this and it made my day, that toddler is the best....the project deserves an AAA+. Well done
Thank you very much.
Adorable little helper! Two years later, i'm watching this.
Thank you.
Love the “Bane” and Apprentice part. Awesome video
Ha! Thank you very much.
This is amazing man, your shop is beautiful and your work is even more so! So meticulous! Thank you
Thank you very much.
24 minutes of total therapy.... regards from Ireland, great job...
Thank you. I love Ireland.
This room is perfection.
Thank you.
Whenever one of your clients tell you, that your prices are high. Please send him/her the link of this video!
Thank you Nikos. Honestly, that was the reason I started this TH-cam channel. I wanted something more than pictures and references to show my clients.
A fine example, that great work is all about the details you don't see when the project is finished.
I have a saying...….Cheap work ain't good and good work ain't cheap!
Nikos DIY Very true. People need to get paid.

Love your work and content and personality and everything, so much. I've learned so much from watching all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! Thank your wife and kids too! Side note, I always laugh at "dislikes" on videos and content that is so very clearly helpful and well thought out and produced and positive. The world we live in where negativity is everywhere we turn, i reckon. Any who, thanks again, Mike!
Thank you very much Seth. Dislikes are a part of the game. I'm with you, if someone puts out an honest video with a fair attempt at creating something useful, I really don't know why anyone would give it a thumbs down. Click bait or bait and switch videos, I can understand that.
That color scheme looks fantastic with the winter weather. Odd, don't remember being that "wintery" when I spent 6 months at (then) Lowry AFB back in '75. Nice seeing how that all came together.
Thank you Jim. I am carefully selecting the days when I show the weather. From my short time here, the weather is "normal" for a while then a cold snap hits with a storm, then it goes back to "normal". Its not like that everyday.
Looks great! Your shop is bad ass! Being patient and letting the young apprentice learn and help out is commendable!
Thank you very much.
Huge improvement in the look of the dining room! I really like it. Picked up some good tips too. Thank you!
Thank you. Happy to hear you liked the results.
Love this video! It felt like I was watching a really good home improvement show. The narration, the shots of a Denver winter. Excellent stuff! The dining room came out amazing. Thanks for posting. Subscribed!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the positive feedback. Stay tuned, I have more in the queue.
WOW! I had a house with the same type of 3 recessed window setup so this brought back a lot of good memories. Best part of this entire video, with the exception of your excellent work, was the shop helper! It's fantastic that you have included your son in these type of projects; he will remember this time he spent with you forever! Such a positive role model! 👏👏
I love that you let your kid roam around. That Gray is the perfect colour!
Thank you. I really like the gray also, we have tried a few different grays in the past, this one ranks at the top. I try to give the little guy as much freedom as possible.
Mike, Great video! Can you share the paint color and manufacture the gray was?
Sherwin Williams, Classic French Gray, SW 0077.
Wow...this is beautiful. So professionally done.
Thank you very much.
You’re funny, I like you 😂. Great work btw looks amazing. I think you nailed the proportions 👌
Thank you very much Darren.
That last minute of insight you gave was so spot on. Loved the video.
Thank you. Family is everything.
Wow! Very nice work Mike! I definitely need to keep my wife away from this video or I'll be busy! Thanks for the video!
Thank you Donny. Yup, this one was driven by my lady. She never asks me to build anything, so when she does I'm happy to help.
Or she might do it herself!
@@charlesz8531 ha ha, good one. Like THAT will ever happen. Women just hang around the finish line, don;t you know ANYTHING about women?! Just saying.
The sliding biscuit joint is a great tip. I have never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.I don't understand why you can't get projects done quicker when you have a shop apprentice. :)
Thank you. Ha, the little guy is a welcome distraction.
I'm hooked! who needs netflix when I can binge watch all your vids !! great craftsmanship, great shop, and a gnarly set of shop tools you have!
Thank you, thats very kind.
What an awesome experience watching a real craftsman at work. The detail and effort were worth everything. So many great tricks and tips. And most of all a extremely enjoyable video. Wish you lived in our area so we could enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing your new dining room. And your beautiful family as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
One hell of a “workshop” dang.
Thank you.
First time here -OMG - jackpot! I'm subscribing! ^5 Sean sent me. Scorpions: Coast To Coast 1979 LoveDrive! awesome
Skippy, thank you! Great to have you on board. Coast to Coast is a great song. I wondered if anyone would respond to a song recommendation.....
@@MikeFarrington just subscribing. :)
That high five from the apprentice made it all worth it! Too cute. Amazing craftsmanship. There is so much around my home that has that "weekend warrior" feel to it from the previous owner(s). Slowly, I am trying to change that and learning little tips like ensuring the joints are even and strong mean a lot to me. Thank you.
Thank you. Same here. The previous home owner was probably 5 beers deep every time he started a project on this house. If I live long enough, I'll get it all fixed.
@@MikeFarrington Haaa haaaa!
Amazing finish, excellent instructions, beautiful finished dining room - conversation and food will definitely be great!
Thanks so much!
Hi Mike! Can you speak to the baseboards and rail/header? Looks like maybe a 1/2" thick baseboard, and a 1"x2" rail?
Also what did you use for the door casing? Looks like the same as your stiles perhaps?
Thanks a lot!!!
Baseboards are 1/2" thick x 5" tall. Top rail is 1" thick by 1 1/2" deep. Door casing is 1" thick x 3 1/2" wide. Top cap is 1 1/8" thick by 4 1/4" tall.
You should consider reading audio books... your voice is amazing.
Thank you very much. A viewer sent me a link a while back, I did a little research. It seemed to me that its one of those things that you make very little money until a big break, then you make pretty good money. I just don't have the time to put an honest effort into it. It does sound like fun, but I don't want to put in a half hearted attempt. Maybe some day.
A natural born golf announcer :-D
I totally agree!
Love your sense of humor and your junior apprentice.
Great content, and I really enjoy seeing your son have a good time with you.
Thank you. Its always fun to watch kids explore.
Dude you need a tv show!
Thank you. That would be fun.
“Biscuits do good”.
Yes, biscuits do good.
I like to chew on them.
I like biscuits as long as they have gravy on them.
You need your own show! I loved every single second of this video. Very easy to follow and lots of tips and tricks!
Thank you. That is very kind to say.
Great video and narrative! I’m sold! Mike, your voice and how you express the processes and ideas are really superb! Great video and tips!
Thank you, thats very kind of you to say.
So f jealous of all the equipment you have and that shop good lawd
Thank you.
I don’t even have a house, but I’m definitely a fan of wainscoting and your channel. Thanks for this!
Thank you.
That's such a great and very detailed job, I like the fact that you put a lot of dedication into your projects.
Thank you. I find a little extra effort goes a long way.
Mike-Just saw this today, and you are The Man. Really loved your knowledge and attention to detail, seeing your shop, and you even produced a great video which is a project unto itself. Thanks so much!
Thank you very much.
Mike, this is what life is all about. Awesome job, by a true gentleman.
Thank you very much.
What a great voice. If you ever get tired of carpentry you could do voice over work. As far as your dining room goes, it’s GORGEOUS!
That you very much Kathy.
It's absolutely amazing how it turned out. You the man.
Thank you very much.
True craftsmanship. Gorgeous finished product. Simple yet elegant. And great filming too boot
Thank you very much.
I think I am in love. lol This room is divine. Your efforts to make this precise is very rewarding in the end. It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much.
I have learned so much here. Most of all how to build out my shop better. Love all the space and organization. Great skills.
Thank you very much.
I use to watch This Old House, with my father. I will say you out do them by far. It’s motivating and relaxing watching you work. Great Job. I would definitely watch your show if you had one on a network.
That is very kind. Growing up I loved This Old House, and I wasn't even a woodworker back then, just like seeing things built. If you know of a network looking for a show, pass my info along...
can't believe you'd go with carpet over a hardwood floor. especially in a dining room. the work is amazing. really nice.
Carpet was what was there. We are waiting to do the floors so we can do the whole house at once.
Stunning work, attention to detail second to none, a good old fashioned craftsman, great videos a joy to watch you work, thank you for sharing your workflow.
Thank you Steve!
It's a pleasure watching you display your skills and preparations. Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much.
I loved the honesty about your reaction to the timeline of your renovation...It made me laugh.
Ha! Totally true.
Nice job! You do excellent work.
I've been doing finish carpentry for over 35 yrs. Love it! Haven't done any wainscoting in a while. Doesn't seem to be popular anymore where I'm at, unfortunately. I miss doing it.
Thanks 👍
Wishful thinking becomes family reality! Keep up your great work with your wonderful family!
Thank you. Will do.
Outstanding craftsmanship, one of the best I've ever seen. And the commentary,..........off the charts!
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Curious as to why the 4" and 4-1/2" bottom rails? @@MikeFarrington
@@charlesbilikas4082 I think a wider bottom rail looks al little nicer. Its not some super special thing, just something I do.
Well done. Finding that wallpaper to ”patch in” was golden.
Thank you.
Wow!!! This is so beautiful!!!! The time you took to perfect your home is so amazing!!!! The color, the little one, life getting in the way. This took you months to finish and you put it out on a 24 min video. I loved watching every min of it. I wish my husband could do this, but watching was great :).
Great job!!!! Amazing!!!
Thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed the journey.
Great work. Excellent commentary. I've hung a lot of crown too and your method for measuring with a known length of wood is brilliant.
Thank you. I picked that trick up from the first guy I worked for when I was still in high school, many moons ago.
I was in a Jersey mansion that was level 5. It was amazing and by the grace of God my next custom home will be there. Takes more time but I bet you can attest to the fact it is well worth the time.
I always feel its worth extra time to do the job right.
Beautiful job! Your solution for the bay window ends works perfectly.
Thank you very much.
Excellent penmanship! Love your little buddy “helping”
Thank you Beth.
Impeccable work. The room looks beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Every thing about this video was beautifully done. Great job.
Thank you very much.
Wonderful work Mike! Blessings to you and your family
Thank you Ted.
That is absolutely beautiful! Those little details you added are really what set a decent job apart from an incredible job!
Thank you. I love working on little details. I agree, they are what make for a good job.
What a beautiful transformation and your attention to detail is well and truly to be admired :) WOW ... Leant a great deal from your expertise Mike ... Thank you
Thank you very much.
