It’s a lot easier to sand the slats if you clamp them together like a board (think butcher block). Then using the orbital sander running On a wide flat surface and you don’t feel near as much vibration because of the heavy mass of the “board”. Drum sander is a lot less work and faster but most don’t have access to one.
I just use PVA, let if go slightly tacky then sand the wood meaning the sawdust is a perfect match for every hole being filled. In the UK as you cant nail to internal walls as most are block work (except cheaply made new builds, they have thin timber internal walls) I would just mount the slats onto thin ply from behind then just mount the full board to the wall. Im really not a fan of using adhesive when it can be avoided and it means this panel can simply be unscrewed in the future. The end result is really good here and way better attention to detail than alot of other DIY vids!
Looks nice. Just a tip if you ever want to do another wall. Use the level only on the first board to get the reference square. Then you just cut a spacer block to stick between the first and next board and nail it is. No need to reset the level. Likely you could have knocked that wall out in 20 minutes once the reference is set.
My boyfriend and I are working on our first house. It was built in 1940 and the walls are all constructed of horizontal wood boards. Unfortunately it was never insulated or weather proofed. So much of the wood has been damaged. We are keeping it wherever it's not damaged, bathroom, living room ceiling, and I'm looking for something that would compliment the shiplap look and create more depth. I'm now leaning towards this! It looks beautiful.
Sanders - Buy Festo. I've owned one for 30 years - it doesn't fatigue the hands because it is balanced. The hardware store sanders vibrate, causing fatigue and RSI damage to joints.
my fav tool for most projects is my oscilating cordless dewalt. until you have one you just dont realize what you are missing, cut screws, drywall, notches, glue/caulking etc... it always has a battery in it ready to do.
I LOVE THIS !!! i thinking of a media wall but wasnt sure i would be in love. I think this gives me the look i am going for without being too cumbersome.
Love the results. May I ask why didn't you use the saw dust and mix that with wood glue to fill the holes. That way you have the exact colour, I think 😊
Looking good! Bet you’ll never sand by hand again. Definitely better paying extra for lumber that is already cut and sanded u just need to hand pick the straight pieces
For days I've been thinking and wondering what I could do in my home office to finish giving it that "original" and distinguished look, taking into account that it's only a section within an open-concept floor plan, so I wish that differentiates itself in some way from the rest of the other areas. I just added a Protractor Desk from Manhattan Home Design, and after watching your tutorial I think I know exactly what I'm going to do to get what I want ;). Thanks for sharing it with us!
The book provides clear illustrations ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.
I did saw mine a little wider and then planed all 4 sides. Then you don't have to sand so much anymore. For placing the slats set the first with the laser and the following using 2 spacer blocks. That would've been so much faster. But in the end it's the final result that counts.
I'm going to plane all mine to the smooth mill glazing, then route the edges or maybe use a sanding block or chamfer plane then leave it unfinished. I'll prob end up painting it anyway.
We just finished interior work in our apartment, and this kind of surface is a no no in India. The amount of cleaning it will require with ample dust in the city makes it impractical.
one question, are you drilling the TV to studs? Do you want to figure out where those are before you put the slats on? I can't imagine securing the TV just to the slats would be strong enough?
Oh Yesss. Great job. Is there a way to do this without the first machine you were using in the video? I don't know what it was called...lol. But I know I don't have one. Please help. I need this wall in my life..!!!!!
Nice video. Watching you struggle inspired me to look up bolt on slat walls. Hurts to think about, but there are comparable products out there to what you did for $250 dollars.
@@garybecker4490 Yeah I agree but it is misleading…… Found this. - The actual hardness of a wood varies from tree to tree. Oak and Walnut are considered hard hardwood. However, Balsa wood is classified as a hardwood but is so soft and lightweight that it is used for model airplanes. On the other hand, Douglas Fir is classified as a softwood. But it's hard and durable enough to be used as flooring and siding….. I stand corrected (sort of). Poplar is a soft hardwood. Yikes
nice work , looks good, however, im very surprised to see a woodworker with a known safety hazard dangling off of their head and swinging very dangerously close to their power tools. Be safe and keep up the good work.
well atleast they tried even though it looks bad..,maybe next time take a picture of the wall first and try the decor out in paint or photoshop first :)
The circular saw and the dangling headphone wire...I did the same thing with a power sander and almost kissed the thing never ever wear headphones while using power tools unless it is under your shirt.
I like what the other poster Charles said, attach slats to 2-3 rails and attach the entire piece to wall. Then you can take with you if you move or change decor later.

You've made our products very beautiful. It's great
I wondered what you would do with all that blank ultra modern wall space, this is a great tie in with the poplar features.
I LOVE THIS !!! i thinking of a media wall but wasnt sure i would be in love. I think this gives me the look i am going for without being too cumbersome.
Oh my …. Suddenly I was just looking at another beauty 😊🔥!
It’s really nice but the work and tools it entails is a bit costly for an average DIY beginner. Thank you for sharing.
Love the results. May I ask why didn't you use the saw dust and mix that with wood glue to fill the holes. That way you have the exact colour, I think 😊
In cases like this wood veneer is your best friend. This is madness.
The walls look absolutely great. You are such a talented and gifted lady.
That project turned out amazing! I’m planning on adding some slats to my master bedroom and bathroom renovation I’m doing right now.
I was also looking for a hardwood slat wall. The ones from the shelf or so low quality. Thanks for sharing looks great and provides a cohesive design.
Beautiful work! The TV should be much lower, what you think?
Nice work! I love all your finishing touches you’re adding to your beautiful home.
Love the detail it adds to the house!
A great look, however dusting and painting in between in the future?
Intensive project compared with just buying premade slats, but the end product is worth it; great video as always
Looks great. Nice addition.

Good I'm happy to watching your videos thank you
DOER? I barely know ER!
Pssst, why fuzz out the daps?
Oh, this looks fabulous and your timing is good as I'm working on something similar.

OK blue I'm an instant fan

cool. these give me an idea to make solid wood + resin slat.
the aunty has done a great job....

Great video!
Nice work.
I really like the look of the poplar. I wonder how much the stripes changed the sound in your living room and your kitchen.
Great job! It looks amazing!

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏
Excellent video 👍 appreciate your hard work and accuracy. Mine won't be quite as polished 😂
First I like so much your hair cut and hair color great taste 👍and very stylish
Could you install and mount something vertical in my bedroom too?
Great Video!! thank you!! what program did you use to 3d your project before you started?
heyyy.. please what app do you make use of for your 3d model?
Great job guys, the house looks amazing!!!!
Looks fantastic!!!
Love this touch! Easy to do. Great video!! 💛
Oh Yesss. Great job. Is there a way to do this without the first machine you were using in the video? I don't know what it was called...lol. But I know I don't have one. Please help. I need this wall in my life..!!!!!
i like your hair colour maam... more than the brown wooden slat wall
Nice video. Watching you struggle inspired me to look up bolt on slat walls. Hurts to think about, but there are comparable products out there to what you did for $250 dollars.
Poplar is a hardwood in name only. If it’s a hardwood these days it’s the softest hardwood.
Balsa is a hardwood too!

First time watching your videos, love your shop and the project. Well done, thanks for sharing
This is a fantastic project, and now my wife wants this in our bedroom. What lumber store did you use?
I went to Timber Hardwood in Mesa
Great work, thanks for sharing. Coincidentally I was thinking about your projects yesterday, wondering when the next one was going to come.
nice work , looks good, however, im very surprised to see a woodworker with a known safety hazard dangling off of their head and swinging very dangerously close to their power tools. Be safe and keep up the good work.
Good job
amazing work 👌🏻💯
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing. What was the program you used to plan out your wall prior to starting?
Hi there. What was the size of the gaps? 7:26
looks great. what software did you use for the 3dmodels ?
إبداع !
عمل يستحق الإعجاب !
مشاء الله .
which software you used to get 3D view. I am building a similar TV wall in my living room, hence i need to preview it
What is the width and depth of each slat? And how much is distance between each slat?
My drywall is not installed until the concrete slab. There is a 1” gap between vinyl floor and drywall. Do you think i should remove the baseboard?
Pretty beautiful work! The walls look amazing! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This is absolutely awesome. Great work and so inspiring !
Тоже хочу часть стены в санузле отделать деревянными рейками.
Beautiful 💣
Oooo I really like this! Great Job Love! 😍
I would love to do things like this... Buuut need a house first! Lol 😅
This is bad ass I like it awesoME job
You're very good
Can I just use wood glue to hold them??
I find you so attractive... great skill, talent and a beauty
Looks fantastic, but that's a lot of work!
Looks great, but I bet its a bugger to clean.
well atleast they tried even though it looks bad..,maybe next time take a picture of the wall first and try the decor out in paint or photoshop first :)
What is the wood workers group name in Arizona?
Goodd Ideaa...!!...Gracias por Compartir Lindaaa....!!!...ji ji ji
Boy this really was diy
Nice
Best moment 11:35
The circular saw and the dangling headphone wire...I did the same thing with a power sander and almost kissed the thing never ever wear headphones while using power tools unless it is under your shirt.
With all the reflective surfaces in the building (concrete floor, etc), curious if the slat wall helps break up echo and other sounds.
🤔
Like your hair color
1st here! Killed it young Lady!
Some wood and several thousand dollars worth of equipment. Just buy it cut and planed to size.
BGZ?
WoW
Muito bonito 🥇
First thing you need to make this cheaper is a carpentry shop...
What? I powered caulking gun? My arthritis thanks you.
Time Vs Money
TV is mounted way to high
2 inch thick hard wood
Hi.
This is bob from China. We are a manufacturer of wall panels of ps, pvc and wpc. I will appreciate if we can start business on wall panels
What happens when I don't like it any more? They are glued to the wall..
you take it off...? what you are willing to put up you need to except that you'll probably take it down at some point lol
Take it off and redo the Sheetrock. Easier than doing what she did too.
Why would you not like it anymore?? 🤷♀
I like what the other poster Charles said, attach slats to 2-3 rails and attach the entire piece to wall. Then you can take with you if you move or change decor later.
By the time you don’t like it you should be moving lol
Hi would u ever need a 3D designer for your next DIY video, I’m the man for the job, first project is totally free, give me a trial I’ll impress you
