    This week we build a DIY wood slat wall! This video is focused on the detailed breakdown of the project and includes step by step instructions so you can build it yourself! This project was a ton of fun and one of my favorite projects to date! It is not as daunting as it looks, and with some patience, anyone can tackle this DIY project. The wall is built with oak slats that we ripped down on the table saw and I used MDF sheets as a backerboard for the black paint. I hope you enjoy the video!

    A tip so you are far less likely to have brad nails blowout, is to always hold your nailer perpendicular to the length of the board. In other words, the chisel tip of brad nails will veer to either side of the chisel tip, rather than up and down (due to following the grain of the wood). That is why you want to hold your brad nailer horizontal when nailing vertical boards together. It's better to have the nail veer off on the 8' length of the board, rather than on the 3/4" width of the board.

    Looks great! One small thing could be to leave just a small gap between the slats and the floor to have a moisture barrier between them.

    Here is a tip. Cut out a jig block for your spacing, but make it long, 2/3, and give it feet. That way you can lean it against the wall. Then, walk away, put it next to your last stile, place the jig, nail off the next stile, place the jig and walk away. That way you do not have to pick up 3 little blocks off the floor or out of your pocket all the time.

    If using oak for the slats it is best to use stainless steel nails for attaching them to the MDF. The reason is that the tannin in the oak can react with the iron in the nail and cause black streaks on the wood. The more moisture there is around, the more chance of staining (especially if you’re doing this on an external wall).

    • @GoldenKeyDesign
      @GoldenKeyDesign  Рік тому +5

      Great tip! This particular wall is inside and does not get much moisture so I haven't has any black streaks and it's been about a year

    Planning to do something similar but to ceiling. Also my plan was to turn the slat other way around (so that it gives more depth effect), but it will maybe 3x the need of the wood. I was hoping to constructing the sheets on ground and then connecting it as whole, but if there are any inconsistencies you are likely to see the gaps in big ceiling :(

    • @GoldenKeyDesign
      @GoldenKeyDesign  2 роки тому +2

      That will look awesome! I think pre-assembling is a good idea as long as you can line them up nicely on the ceiling. And yeah definitely more wood cost but maybe find something less expensive than oak

    Just an FYI for anyone watching the MDF install. Dont rely on the floor being level, level with the ceiling and use a base to cover the gaps required on the bottom. Follow this step, no panel gaps.

    • @GoldenKeyDesign
      @GoldenKeyDesign  Рік тому +1

      Thing is, I didn’t want to use a base for this project as it ruins the look. Therefore I needed the MDF to be flush with both the ceiling and floor. Best option is this case was to scribe but it’s difficult when you don’t have much room to maneuver the piece.
