I just finished this project yesterday. I posted it for sale for 120. My family and friends don't believe that I made it! Just waiting on someone to step up to buy it now

I just wanted to let you know that I reached out to you over a year ago asking about your concealment shelf. This was years after your video posted. Even still, you took the time and responded back to me and offered the assistance I needed. Thank you for that. Since then, I have built and continue to build multiple wood projects for the guys in my department and am really enjoying it. I was happy to stumble back across your channel today. Liked, subscribed and even clicked for notifications which I rarely do! Thanks for your content man. You seem like a really good dude and you have really stepped your channel up! Congrats man… you deserve it!

Matthew, All of your projects are in easy to follow instructions. Almost anyone could follow your step by step builds. I will certainly try. Thank you for keeping it in a
basic tool format. A number of other channels with alleged ‘beginner’ projects start off with going to the $$$ planer. I exit at that point.

That was so cool, I would have never have guessed it wasn't hundreds of years old.

I realize this is an older video, but it's extremely informative. Thank you for sharing your insight.

Looks exactly like a 100 year old piece of wood you might see in an old barn or cabin. The hatchet tip is a good idea. I hadn't thought of doing that. Since I have a hatchet think I'll make something like that. I think I'd make several shelves and leave some smooth, some distressed, maybe stained in different shades. Very cool how you built that.

This is absolutely beautiful! When you first showed it and then turned it over so we could see the inside, I was shocked at how "clean" and pristine the inside was and amazed at how weathered you made the outside look. This looks like an old rail road tie.

This is the best video on this subject I've seen. This is doable with the basic tools I already own. Thank you

This is a very good video! i I retired from custom home building after 42 yrs and have built several mantles using this method. I really like the way you distressed the wood. I am going to use your process to build a floating shelf to display an old metal truck and an old john deere toy tractor . You do great work young man ! thanks for the tips !!!

randyring

Great distress work. I'll give your method some serious thought. Thanks!

jimchallender

Thanks Matt watching you I’ve actually gained the confidence to start woodworking I currently do home repairs for myself I specialize in painting but I wanna do small woodworking projects to turn a profit keep coming with the videos I’ll keep watching n learning my overall goal is to turn a large enough profit to do it full time thanks again bro

A tip I can add. After texturing, use a flame to burn more of the softwood. Also does not have to stain afterwords.

faithexplorers

I really like your videos. You do a great job describing what you are doing. Keep them coming please.

Did one of these a few years back, very satisfying project. I really like your distressing techniques, especially the flap grinder and the smaller wire wheel. I felt like my larger wire wheel may have dug in too much, wiping away some of the hard lignin layers in the grain with the softer stuff. I may have to do another one now -- you've inspired me.

One thing I did like about mine that I'll share, was that I glued up two small end-grain panels for the ends (chop several 3/4" pieces from the end of a board and glue them up side-to-side like an end-grain cutting board), then beveled and installed those like you did yours, to simulate the ends of a solid beam. Cutting the pieces from a thicker board and matching the grain, you can achieve a pretty realistic end grain. And the distressing hides most of that 'laminating' effect. If you're lucky, it'll come out with that pokie look, like a bundle of weathered toothpicks, similar to the top of an old fencepost.
