How to build a modern fireplace mantel.

Fireplace Mantel | Modern Fireplace with Tile …Our outdated fireplace mantle was in need of an upgrade! Because the fireplace is the focal point of
our open-concept home, we really wanted it to have this fresh, new, and modern feel. I designed a
custom fireplace mantle and added a classic herringbone tile surround. Finally, with a fresh coat of
paint, our fireplace transformed into a beautiful modern farmhouse centerpiece!

Paint colors used:
➤ Fireplace Mantle: BenMoore Paper White
➤ Trim Color: BenMore Super White
➤ Accent Wall Color: BenMoore Cobblestone Path

I built a similar mantel this year. I like tiling as much as woodworking. I wasn't sure what to call it so I called it a 3-sided picture frame mantel. Someone told me it is called a waterfall mantel. I was happy to when you called it a 3-sided picture frame.

An elegant piece that looks a lot simpler than it is. Good woodworking skills are applied to this material. Thanks for the mini-tiling lesson.

having recently made a shelf support using a dowel jig, I will be saving for a domino but need a track saw first and despite using Bosch the track saw will be Festool too.

Hey Keith, wieder einmal ein sehr cooles Projekt und ein schönes Video!
Ich mag sehr dass deine und auch Jason´s Videos diese Laufzeit, etwa 30min oder mehr, haben.
Kind Regards...✌

[ScottWalshWoodworking]

i remember this! Turned out pretty snazzy

[Coolride]

Looks Great.
You could paint the cable connection and outlet to match the wall. It would hide them a little better. Until you relocate them.

Awesome build! I’ve been woodworking since I was a little kid but really got into it about 2 years ago. I have to say, I have learned a lot from watching your videos along with Jason and Nicks as well. I’ve applied a lot of the techniques I have seen you 3 use into some of my own projects. I love your podcast as well!

[scottmorris]

For the wall plates, you can buy a gray blank for over the coax connector. And a gray plate and outlet to replace the outlet. Or you can paint the plates and outlet.

Great work Keith, can't wait for your next video (which was shot in 2007)

[stevefuller]

Looks great! Got a kick out of the messups. My wife said it sounded a lot like me working on my projects.

[bobbywweaver]
