  • After getting married in October, I made a "promise" to my wife to make us some new shelving, and fix the fireplace in our living room before the holidays. Well, 2 months have passed and we still have nothing. To fix this, I surprised her right before Christmas with a brand new Living Room Makeover! Check it out

      Haha... Brad, my 4 year old daughter thinks that everything is joined with Pocket Holes because of your videos. She about lost her mind when she saw pocket holes on the under side of our dining room table one day when crawling around under it. The day I got my K4 jig, I let her drill a few holes in some scrap wood and you would have though I just took her to Disney land...she said "Just like Brad"!

    I make 80s arcades from MDF. To seal the cut edges, use a mixture of 1 part wood glue to 5 parts water and put it on with a foam brush. When dry, sand with 200 and you have a rock hard edge.

    If you add scribes or floating fillers to a built-in project, it'll simplify the installation and give you a better finished look without the gaps between cabinetry and walls/brick. It will also save the thumbnail as no sledge hammer is needed.

    Are you planning to do anything with the gap at the top? I know it must be hard to fit around the very textures trim, but it doesn't look fully finishes. Plus, the paint on the wall behind is a different colour therefore it is quite noticeable. Take it or leave it, you're done a wonderful job and who am I to judge I probably wouldn't be able to do half of that you did in this video only.
