Very nice. I'm retired from project management. I never get tired of watching other people work. Hah! Thanks for posting your work and project.

I can tell you are somewhat new just by watching you use the tools. But practice will make perfect and your natural sense of design more than made up for it. Best thing is effort and your project looks a million bucks. Liked/subscribed!

It is so beautiful, has different modes and colors and flame speed. I bought a 42 inch for my 55inch tv and it sure came out well

2 questions.. Total cost to finish? Total hours spent to finish the project?

Thank you for sharing this video. It is the most helpful video we have seen on how to do this for beginners. Can't wait to get our tv fireplace wall done.

I just bought this Ryobi Brad nailer and learned that the knob near the front of the gun can be turned to determine how much depth you want the nail to go in. And on the back of the gun there’s a power knob that I haven’t learned how to use yet lol but there is a detachable extra tip on the bottom of the clip; idk what it’s purpose is for yet 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m still learning

I think that the depth and technology of the job is very good, I think it is the fruit of effort and passion, I am proud, I respect you, I hope you will succeed deeply in your heart

Wow 🤩 it looks so good. Wish I could have you do that in my home lol. The only thing I would have done differently is made that bottom of the two bookshelves (the box/stand you made) into drawers. Just to have more storage.

[simonseis]

I don't get why there's so much space behind the TV yet you didn't mount it flush?
