For those not as well versed as Robin, when you are using a stop block on the chop saw extension table, give the block a little chamfer at the bottom. That way when you push the sticks up against it, most dust will go into the chamfer and not affect the length of cut.
Hi guys Fell in love with the Slatted Wall effect when in Japan 5 years ago. After 50 years of DIY and 5 house, builds have finally accepted quality means spending time
With the stop block you screwed to the table I cut a little notch out the bottom of the block to allow the saw dust to escape & not get trapped between the block & the work piece. Saves having to worry about it and check everytime.
You can see the top line of the door way, that's not hidden, the slats could of been attached to the door and carry up to the ceiling so there is no horizontal cuts that show there is a door there
Lovely work. The slats look the business but the shadow line from the square cut ply is made more noticeable to me. Personally I would have angle cut the ply on the door as well.
Yes, very pleasing effect, Robin. Do wonder if 'amateurs' will be able to pull it off? Especially like mirror - all going to look fab. Have you shown us the roof outside? I'm sure Ed is still growing! Have a great week.
The funny thing is that I have met many people that are not from the trades who have built, made and created some amazing quality work, in the case of a slat wall I would say that you can absolutely do this as an amateur
@@ukconstruction Brilliant - well, I reckon they'd be learning from the best - and that truly helps to see how it is done & achievable. Such a joy to watch. And it makes me rack my brains to wonder what else you could do! Take care!
it's due to accumulative errors that can occur, as Robin mentioned in the video :) in my experiance, using a spacer can potentially send the slats out of plumb as you get to the other end or the spacer might not be butted up tight enough resulting in bigger gaps and then the other end of the wall isn't where it needs to be which is important for both the mirror and the door.
I hope that RC is getting a proper reward for doing all these videos; they must take so much time to film and edit bit they are really a masterclass in carpentry and joinery in real life. By reward, I would hope that RC gets a lot of satisfaction from “teaching” everyone his skill and experience plus financial reward from YT.
Its a very fine line between work it takes and reward, I do have some great companies that support the channel indeed the collaborators in this video are called Falcon timber, but overall my mission is to share my knowledge with anyone as I feel that we can all teach each other something!!! You would struggle to survive on the advertising revenue from YT but it is one of the best paying platforms compared to others!!!
Hi Robin amazing work I've followed you for ages and watched this slat wall build a few times. Just a quick question did you rip the slats with a table saw or a rail saw????
How hard would it be to completely close the gap at the top of that door? Almost to a point where you really cant see it. We're building a hidden door for a client that will be concealing a wine and cigar room. We have wooden log veneers that we will be using instead of the plywood that you're using. Also they will be installed horizontally instead of vertical, in our case the overlap of the veneers would be at the top of the door and not at the door opening. Looking into getting the Hidden Hinges as well. Would it take a lot more time to get the gap to where it's completely snug? have you done that before? or will that cause issues in the long run? Thanks!
Loving the design & the workmanship. It’s a shame the hidden door isn’t outward opening, you could have covered it in full length slats so it’s completely hidden
Hi Robin. Why didn't you run the door slats the full length so there was no break ? Do you think they would bow having that long of an unfixed overhang?
Robbin why not make the overhang twice the distance at the top than the bottom. Then if you ever have a problem and need to replace. It's simply a case of lift in at the top push all the way up . The bottom will then clear at the bottom. Then let it slip behind the bottom slats
Hi Robin, love the videos! I have a question, is it possible to straighten a twisted door? We had a door hung on our bathroom which wasn’t painted and the steams caused it to twist 😢 Is it a new door, or can it be saved?
Possibly not, it is best to seal and finish all doors as soon as they have been hung as they are really prone to move to suit conditions either side of the door surface and like you have there a bathroom door is the most prone to affects of moisture etc, also a bathroom door needs a middle hinge too
Why not just continue the slats to the top, past the door. 1 piece instead of 2. That would give a true hidden wall. You'll just gets slats above the door when it's opened.
Beside the accent and vernacular being difficult to follow at times, I wish he'd concentrate more on the door and hinges than all the other things in this video.
So So good. I can’t even Begin to describe how jealous I am of Ed. Working with Robin Has to be a Dream come true.
I think Robin saw something of his keen younger self in choosing Ed, and rightly so.
Tour de France highlights finished, checked TH-cam. Joy. An evening's double header with a bottle of red wine. Heaven

The evolution of Ed on the channel is a testament to how good Robin is at the craft. Master at his trade and a great teacher to the younger generation
Thank you Paul!

Yet another great video Robin ! That younger chap doesn't realize how lucky he is working with such a good master carpenter !! Good job lads !!
Absolutely
Hi guys Fell in love with the Slatted Wall effect when in Japan 5 years ago. After 50 years of DIY and 5 house, builds have finally accepted quality means spending time
The idea to back cut the slats above the door is genius, it means you can really close up that cut line until its almost invisible. Awesome!
Fascinating to hear the thought process behind this build. Attention to detail is amazing from you both. Great work 👌
Man I love the way you work, so tidy, everything done so systematic and with jigs, so clever and efficient
Out in the woodland, birds twittering. I've never been so envious. Great work as always Robin.
It is really mindful and I feel blessed to work here
With the stop block you screwed to the table I cut a little notch out the bottom of the block to allow the saw dust to escape & not get trapped between the block & the work piece. Saves having to worry about it and check everytime.
That is some incredible level of detail to make that opening disappear!
You can see the top line of the door way, that's not hidden, the slats could of been attached to the door and carry up to the ceiling so there is no horizontal cuts that show there is a door there
Robin one tip I do on the stop block I cut the end at a 45 angle and this helps with keeping the sawdust from building up.
Fantastic video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely work. The slats look the business but the shadow line from the square cut ply is made more noticeable to me. Personally I would have angle cut the ply on the door as well.
Superb work ... love you always go next level design and aesthetics ... thanks always for this glorious channel. July 6. 2023. 102k subscribers.
So tight! Nice work, fellas. Love the attention to detail and the sensible approach to the spacing.
Used to see that idea a lot in 1970s, was all the rage back then
Lovely work gents. Looks very smart, perfection as always.
Thank you kindly!
TIP: Make circles with the adhesive it will suck it’s self to the wall
Looks really great.
I was expecting you to use tile levelling clips between the mirrors, nice job!
Good call!
Looks terrific Robin.👍👍

Stunning result. Wondering why you didn’t use spacers to set the slats. Can’t wait to see how you handle the curved surface.

top of the class!!!!
Nice job Robin, Looks great.
Excellent video💪

Great tips thanks
Cannot wait to see this finished! Enjoying the series
Piece of art!
Looks great, could you have added an upwards facing mitre where the slats join at the top of the door to make it truly invisible?
Not an upward facing mitre because the door opens inwards
Hi Robin,
What method did you use to break down the plywood sheets into slats? Great project from start to finish - 😊
Regards,
G.
Beautiful work
Hi Robin amazing work I've followed you for ages and watched this slat wall build a few times.
Just a quick question did you rip the slats with a table saw or a rail saw????
Is it possible for the door to open the other way i.e. In towards that main room? If so what type of hinges would you use?
How long is that level and what make is it. Great work chaps.
Lovely job robin. Base of your mitre saw looks just like mine, littered with pencil marks 😅
Thats the best way!!
Looking really crisp, great job guys! 👏👍😀
Thank you so much 😀
Lovely old job.
Lovely job Robin, can I ask did you rip the slats down with the track saw or table saw?

Do you guys plane or use a jointer each piece of wood for the slats or does any buddy know I'm so new to this?
Fantastic job looks amazing
Thank you so much 😀
Great job guys 👍🏾
Thank you 🤗
Another good vid , keep up the good work
Should you have pre finished the slats at the mirrors? Going to be l interesting to watch the finishing over glass
The finish is the material, we are using a fine sanding sealer applied to the face with a cloth at the end so there is no visible finish
Great workmanship as per usual Robyn can i ask did you cut the strips of ply yourself or were these laser cut
Just wondering what hinges you used on the door robin as I have a similar project to do.
Brilliant 👌
Loving the design & the workmanship. It’s a shame the hidden door isn’t outward opening, you could have covered it in full length slats so it’s completely hidden
I'm interested in doing the same but I don't have the idea of how to put the door in. You don't have any video.
I would love to work with you Robin absolute master craftsman ❤
With the depth of cut on that saw could you have done a few more at a time.
great video this and great workmanship as always, what is the wood you are using for the slats? where can i obtain from?
Check description
What latch mechanism is on this door?
Nice job, what finish are you using?
Hi Robin. Why didn't you run the door slats the full length so there was no break ? Do you think they would bow having that long of an unfixed overhang?
Door opens in Peter
Robbin why not make the overhang twice the distance at the top than the bottom. Then if you ever have a problem and need to replace. It's simply a case of lift in at the top push all the way up . The bottom will then clear at the bottom. Then let it slip behind the bottom slats
Well the mirrors are glued so it would all have to be taken off!
Why 2 mirrors and not one big one?
Hi Robin, love the videos! I have a question, is it possible to straighten a twisted door? We had a door hung on our bathroom which wasn’t painted and the steams caused it to twist 😢 Is it a new door, or can it be saved?
Possibly not, it is best to seal and finish all doors as soon as they have been hung as they are really prone to move to suit conditions either side of the door surface and like you have there a bathroom door is the most prone to affects of moisture etc, also a bathroom door needs a middle hinge too
@@ukconstruction thank you Robin!
What hinges did he use on the door?
These are from SDS ironmongery they are a hinge similar to Soss
Wow
👍
We're the strips pre cut
We cut some on site and we had some cut in the workshop
Mate I'm not being pickie but why two mirrors instead of just one
To minimise risk in moving it in the first place and also my supplier will only send up to 1m wide
If you can see the line of the top of the door it's not hidden silly😅
Edd could put you in his pocket rob
Why not just continue the slats to the top, past the door. 1 piece instead of 2. That would give a true hidden wall. You'll just gets slats above the door when it's opened.
It opens in the way.
@ricos1497 you're right, I missed that part, I tend to skip parts.
Now you have shown us the hidden door, we all know where it is ... !?
I got my head space...
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is
No
Beside the accent and vernacular being difficult to follow at times, I wish he'd concentrate more on the door and hinges than all the other things in this video.
Hi Chris, I have done a video on the hinges
Disappointed no penis drawing of the mirror adhesive the inner child in me 😂😂😂 oh forgot its TH-cam 😂
Lol😂
