In this video I build a neat fireplace mantel that is installed over some vertical shiplap. I top it off with some crown molding and base molding. I show each step of the process and of course insert my really good dad jokes along the way.

This is the first comment I’ve ever written on this channel, but holy crap. Maybe sounds corny, but I grew up teaching myself how to be a finish carpenter and cabinet maker through TH-cam, and mikes channel has taught me so many of the things I know today, and has alway and will always be my favorite channel to watch. I now own a construction company that specializes in finish carpentry, and although not the only person I look up to, you’re definitely one of the people that I aspire to be in my career. I respect your work immensely, and look forward to whatever comes out next!Thank you so much for the content!
Must love Mike. Dude sparks so much joy. I just had a really rough go at a project in the shop and sat down to recharge and seeing this video made all that go away.
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for sharing. Its great to hear that my videos are of some good use.
Great tip I discovered for using screws into cement, brick, or mortar...
Put a length of 14 gauge ground wire into the hole.. You can tighten up the screw very well without worrying about it stripping out the cement, brick, or mortar. Also a good way to save a hole if you do strip it out. Throw a bit of wire in and you're golden!
That is a really neat tip. Thank you.
Legend has it that every single item Mike has ever bought has gone through the mighty table saw.
This is true.
Step one is to take the first step 😂😂😂😂 love it dude
Ha! Thanks John.
Mike, it’s gorgeous as always. I take your example as the goal I aspire to. As someone who is probably the same age as you, I have no shame in saying that.
Thank you.
When I glue my miters I apply even coats on each piece and then I let it sit for 2 minutes by the clock. Usually most of the glue gets sucked in . I the apply one more coating of glure on one of the peice. This leaves more glue in the miter and I get a stronger bond.
Good info. I glue both sides and I do it kinda slow, attempting the same thing.
In my opinion Guns N' Roses probably started off as a hair/glam band but then evolved into a straight rock band. When Appetite and Lies came out, they had the look of glam, but the sound was much more complex and edgier than the hair bands of the day. By the time Illusion game out, they were totally hard rock. If the original lineup (including Izzy and either Matt or Steven on drums) had stayed together, I believe they would be as iconic in the rock scene as the Stones, Zeppelin or The Who.
BTW, great build as usual!
I agree !! I gave a similar comment further up. The proof is, the music still holds up respectfully...
Very good take, and good info. I agree.
Medium Density Farrington... great nickname and great video
Ha! Thank you.
I really enjoy the precision and neatness of your shop and work. I'm heading out now to clean up my garage purely because I watched this vid. I'll also blast some gunners as a tribute. They were defiantly not a glam-rock band. Their songs told a story, glam is just big hair and repeat the same verse over and over and over. The bike shorts may have crossed the line though. "what we have here is a failure to communicate...🙂🤘
Thank you.
Wow. You have a way with words. Al throughout this video there are many quotable phrases you said!
Wow, thank you!
Mike, great build. I love tucking away all the pro tips you pepper your content with, dude.
Also, I agree with the other commenters, and say that as a former and still-recovering Californian, G-n-R is not hair metal. They kinda defined their own niche when they got big. Also, it's hard to poof your hair and do stage makeup when you're that high. Still a G-n-R fan.
Thank you. I agree. Feels like there was a point in history where GnR would have been called hair metal. Maybe 10 years ago. Today, I look back on them as a hard rock band.
No G&R were not a hair metal band, they were a heavy rock band.
Appetite for Destruction was my coming of age music!
Agreed. I was 7 years old, and I can still tell you the exact place I first saw/heard Paradise City (MTV).
And now I know the collective noun for Construction Adhesive.
Thank you.
The dad jokes in this video were on point!
Thank you.
Clearance to combustibles around the firebox look legit, nice work. It's remarkable how often people get it wrong when updating the look of a fireplace.
Thank you.
Three quick comments. One, I've built a lot of stuff with MDF and oh do I hate MDF. Two, love the oh so subtle plug for the sanding disk. And three, I wish I could build and then let the painters paint. I always get stuck with that job too and its one of my least favorite.
As always, the final product looks terrific. Excellent job.
Agree with you about using MDF and hating it. At one stage I vowed I'd never use the horrible dusty stuff again, but only a couple of years later I found I just couldn't justify staying away from it. It does have a lot of benefits. It's the dust and weight of the panels I abhor. Cheers, David
Thank you. I do a lot of painting, fortunately, not on this one.
Love those fun little projects that make a big impact. November Rain was the song we used for our first dance at our wedding 28 years ago! Thanks for sharing
Thank you. Thats a great first dance song.
The man, the myth, the voice.
Ha! Thank you.
I think I gained like 5 yrs of lifespan with the Medium Density Farrington joke.
Ha! happy to help.
GNR + your woodworking earned you a sub. use your illusion tour. Saw GNR live with Metallica in Buffalo ny in 92. Of course November Rain was performed.
Thank you very much, welcome aboard.
Yes. My woodworking teacher Frank Derkits always told me "don't try to hide what won't stay hidden." Thanks Mike.
That is good advice.
This is the first I've heard/seen of your channel. I'm impressed by your presentation as well as your narration. I have two fireplace mantels/hearths that are in dire need of replacement. You make it appear rather easy, but I know better! Elegant!
Wow, thank you!
ALWAYS enjoy following along!
Thank you.
At the time, being a fan, i would have fought anyone who suggested GnR was a hair band. Now, upon reflection, there is no doubt they were.
Good take. thank you.
i only cuss on the internet once a week...but making an exception...shoot that is beautiful...well done...love these types of videos
Ha! Thank you.
Excellent job! I happen to have a 70’s fireplace that looks very much like the one you covered. Now I know how to cover up the abundance of brick. Thank you!!
Thank you.
I once worked for a cabinet maker that had a contract to do all the fireplace mantels in a housing development. All I did was to cut parts on the table saw. Lots of parts. It was more fun watching this video. Thank you for sharing Mike. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you.
Man your the best wood worker out there broski
Thank you.
I like the V groove trim bit idea. I will be stealing that one and claiming it for my own.
Please do. I stole it from somewhere as well.
Mike, your tips and technique have helped me with projects that would otherwise look crappy. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, humor, and perspective. Oh, and nice work, as always. You'll certainly be a pro-carpenter when you grow up. ;)
Thank you very much.
I love the spring-loaded nail set!
Among other things about this video. Lol.
Thank you. A game changer tool.
Dude! This is awesome... I've been watching many of your videos the last couple of weeks. Love the production, narration, and especially the level of detail and creativity on your builds! You, sir, are a great teacher! Here is my LIKE!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
I appreciate your meticulous attention to detail - that job is just tickety boo.
Thank you.
Solid proof that MDF is not evil. The wood, not you, Mike. I'll leave that for someone else to decide.
Ha! Thank you very much.
MDF... kewl, thanks for sharing your expertise with us.
My pleasure.
Guns n roses came on the scene and completely changed the whole
"hair band" movement. From sweet n pretty to hard & raunchy.
For my money they were a straight up rock band , who happened to have long hair...
Totally agree. Well said.
Thanks, Mike. Great to see you tackle a project that I've done at least a half dozen times over the years. I liked the "nickel gap" ship lap! I was surprised--after watching your vid on dust collection--that you didn't wear a mask while cutting MDF. However, I've found by experience that MDF dust and boogers make great nail hole filler! Always a pleasure to watch you work.
That was me just being lazy. I really should wear a mask. I like to booger idea, I'll give that one a try.
I learned so much from this. Thank you for all the detailed video and voice over. Top notch work.
Thank you.
Meticulous work as always!
I may be also wanting to become a carpenter myself one day but for now I'll enjoy what I do currently :) Congratulations, the mantle came out fantastic 😍
Thank you.
I truly love how much of a Biscuit Joiner evangelist you are. Definitely an underrated tool.
Ha! I like jousting that windmill.
Extra points awarded for creating woodworking videos that incorporate attractive design!
Ha! Thank you.
I'm baffled nobody jumped in the music discussion. Personally, I wouldn't consider GnR as a glam/hair metal band. They were really ahead for those years and they've experimented a lot (trash, symphonic, punk influences are all over the place). If you compare them to Poison/Mötley Crüe/Cinderella you clearly see the music lines are miles away from said bands. Another similar group I can think of are Skid Row, highly recommended especially during the grunge era (Slave to the grind hits easily my top 10 albums).
Ah, almost forgot: amazing fireplace, great video and plenty of details. Thanks for sharing,
Best!
Thank you. I agree, I think GnR was considered a hair metal band because that was the era. Guilt by association, but as time marches on I think the common view has changed.
As per usual there was as many (new to me) pro tips as there was our generation pop references.
Fantastic enough outcome with the mantle that it actually made the brick look fashionable!
It makes me want to shout from the top of a mountain, but I don’t have a mountain I have a TH-cam comment section
Thank you very much.
Mike, you inspire many people, including me. I'm an amateur woodworker/everything and I sure appreciate hearing your pro tips that are peppered into your stand up comedy routine. Thanks for sharing all your great content!
Wow, thanks
Mike the mantel master
Thank you.
Wonderful job sir! Love what you did there.
I just completed a fireplace mantle, custom cabinetry, Shiplap, crown, floors, marble, baseboards, oak stair treads, stain, new drywall ceiling and painting. I must say, this was one of my best looking projects, but the clients were the worst. Took all the pleasure and satisfaction out of my job. I hate looking at the pictures and started deleting them, to erase the memories.
Thank you. Customers can make or break a project.
love all those clamps!
Those clamps are the bees knees.
OK mike, I see you. Some new camera angles (on the biscuit joiner) and some new sound effects and graphics. Love the video as usual, thank you!
Trying to add some spice.
Mike your not carpenter, your a cabinet maker, and a damn good one. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
If for some reason you can’t do carpentry anymore, or want a change in your life, you could do voice overs. Your voice has a very nice, calming and distinct tone.
Thank you very much. I have looked in to it, its not an easy field to get into, at least from what I found.
Awesome job. You are right it is a beautiful country site
Thank you.
Gun's& Roses to me always was a post hair metal transition to grunge band. Not that they necessarily played music related to those genre but that the time in which they existed was during that change in style. Poison to nirvana basically.
BTW I've never once seen a wood worker use those "Collin's clamps" before, very handy.
Very much a soft "g."
Also, never treat us to less Caveman speak. no like words, words hard, make brain hurt.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
Beautiful as always
Thank you.
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
MDF 😂 and I took a break to eat a plum. Hilarious as usual, thanks my friend. Used my DT sanding disc for the first time lately. Highly recommend. Just had a 10 pack of refills delivered too.
That is great to hear. Thank you very much.
Beautiful work mike
Thank you kindly
Another great tip. I tried some of this nail filler and what a game changer. The stuff is in a different league. It along with the Amana 1/16" radius round over bit and the double taper sanding disc are regular steps in my work now.
Thank you. That filler is great for sure, and of course my disc is really neat as well.
Beautiful work
Thank you.
Very good argument against this cashless society we're creating. You didn't have a nickel in your wallet. The amount of time you would have saved had you that nickel. And the credit card, for once, wasn't good enough. I'm as bad too, pay on card for everything. We really should be fighting to keep our currencies. No money in a card for a child's birthday you just got reminded about. No coin to throw in the cup of some homeless person. It'll be a very sad day when we go completely cashless. Rant over. I'm going back to the video. MDF indeed. Friends, they talk good about you behind your back and insult you to your face. Gotta love it.
Thank you. Having cash certainly curbs spending.
Thank you for the Video! Wonderful job!! I think the Client should have rendered the brickwork somehow to compliment ur beautiful work better!
Thank you. The project isn't totally completed, a firebox is being installed, and I don't know if something will be done with the brick. That is above my pay grade.
YES! A Mike Farrington Christmas Special! Since Apple TV has secured the rights to the Charles Schultz library this will have to do!
Ha! Thank you.
I fondly remember a previous mantlepiece installation you filmed, complete with a moment of sheer panic... that you conveyed quite well (and silently!). Had something to do with gluing something out of order. I think of that moment whenever I see a mantle build.
I gotta get me one of them spring-loaded nail-setter thingys. Quite tired of marring a carefully-created finish with hammer blows from missing the nail head.
Thank you. Yeah, the spring nail sets are a must.
I don't know why that opening was so damn funny, but it had me in stitches. And of course, wonderful work as usual.
Ha! Thank you.
They played the hair metal band game that I’m sure their label told them to at first, but it didn’t last long. They sort of morphed into the leathery biker gang look later on. GREAT song btw. I remember when the two-parter music video came out, or should I say short film. It was a cinematic event on MTV.
Thank you, agreed.
I wish I had the ability to work to that level of quality. Very nice.
Thank you.
Yooooooo Mike!!! As we approach this Christmas & Holiday Season I'm taking time to reflect on the things that make me happy & appreciate how Blessed I am.... With that being said your Channel & our "ANOLOG" friendship is one of those things!! From the time I had randomly come across your videos I knew this would be content that I would appreciate & enjoy very much. Not only do you make some pretty awesome projects, showcase some serious woodworking skills, have an awesomely dry & quick-witted sense of humor & finally but, most importantly allowing us to journey with the "Shop Apprentice's" growth & evolution into a fine young Man. Your videos relax me & help me re-center for the 15+ mins. on avg. during each video!! It's truly a wonderful culmination of life's Blessings that I REALLY am thankful for!!! I wish you & your family a very Merry Christmas & the most Joyous Holiday Season & a BLESSED 2023!!!! Glad I found your Channel & I look forward to you & the children building together in the future, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks Mikey Mike. Your comments are always so kind, I really appreciate them. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours.
Beautiful work.
Thank you.
Love your work Mike
Thank you.
Mike, this stuff is so cool! Love these videos.
Glad you like them!
As always! Sweet work!
Thank you.
I really enjoyed watching this project come together and thank goodness the dolphin was flogged 😅
Ha! Thank you.
Wow Mike excellent work
Thank you.
I did something similar to the exact same fireplace a few years ago. Mine has a colonial vibe with molding panels.
Good stuff, sounds cool.
Another great video Mike!
Thanks again!
Your experience makes it look very easy. Very valuable skill set, great work.
Thank you.
Your work is superb!
Thank you! Cheers!
man I'm getting that bit!!! I could've used it on my bathroom vanity build.
Thats a good one.
Guns 'n' roses were a Rock band with great hair. I mean, far less people recognise Slash from his face let's be honest. 1991 was the year my son was born so I feel even older. Great times though. Ya wanna hear Slash talk about Rory Gallagher. Now THERE's some listening for you Mike if you're not familiar with him already. And don't take my word for it. Jimmi Hendrix was once asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist alive and he replied, "I don't know. Ask Rory Gallagher." Rory was stepping on a plane to gift Jimmi his first ever left-handed acoustic guitar when he got the word that Jimmi was dead. Bad Penny, Hometown, Tattoo'd lady are all great choices of songs from Rory.
Great info. Thank you for sharing.
Guns and Roses not a hair band. They rocked and were appreciated by loads of folks including flattops, which I was, a generation ago.
Thank you very much.
Very nice project as always!
Thank you.
I really like the pro tips you offered up on this one. Excellent work. GnFnR is not a “hair band”, despite Slash’s locks. They were too talented. And on UYI I, Coma is the best song they ever did.
Totally agree, well said.
Nice build Mike.
Thanks 👍
Awesome Mike!
Thank you.
Great work Miguel 😁🙌🙌
Thank you.
Just found you and Im so glad I did. Have started my woodworking journey and hope to get as good as you some day. Thanks for inspiring.
Thank you.
Blimey that radial arm saw looks an absolute pleasure to use! Nice work on the set up and the dust extraction box on that one :)
Its a monster for sure.
Sorry late to the party, really nicely done.
Thank you.
Beautiful
Thank you.
Amazing! Grat job Mike
Thank you.
10-4 on the crown!
Thank you.
Stellar work as always Mike! Keep'em comin'!
Thanks! Will do!
inspirational
Thank you.
Spectacular video, Mike! Your work is mesmerizing to watch and your commentary is incredibly informative!
Thank you.
Absolutely Beautiful 🤝
Thank you! Cheers!
I don’t G-n-R was a hair metal band. Just my opinion.
Great work and in the video as always!!
I enjoy your content and humor.
Thank you very much.
Looks great, Mike. Thanks for the tips, too.
Bill
Thank you.
Beautiful. Nice job, Mike.
Thank you.
Looks like it was always meant to be there. So great job Mike! :)
Thank you.
you've done it again Mike!
Thank you.
