Wish I had someone like Tommy around back in my younger years..his knowledgeable experience,and temperament would've help tremendously....when I wanted to get in the trade, I dealt with screwballs who would treat you like garbage...never really teaching anything really....never fulfilled what I really wanted to set as a career. Been watching TOH since the beginning
I bet when this footage made it's way to post, very small adjustments were made (brightness, color correction) All this talent is as good as it gets, filmed straight across. Well done Tommy.
I could've done this project... But I'd need 5xs as much wood due to the upside down miter saw mistakes I would've made and countless bad measuring on my part.
you know when Tommy is explaining the cuts & the process many of these people just nod their head but are lost with what he's talking about. I know I am. I often re-watch a few times to understand what he's explaining.
No stress, always easy as pie and uses plenty of learned tricks of the trade, Tom is a master if there ever was one ! I could never work and explain like that to a customer lol ! What would tom say if he misses with a brad lol oops ! Tom is the best
It's easy to spot someone who've done a lot of carpentry. Just the quick instinctive way he marked which side of the mark should be cut is something you can only learn by doing.
I was thinking about making a taper jig for my table saw to cut some filler pieces for cabinets next to un-square (un-plumb) walls, but a straight edge and circular saw will work just fine. Thanks for the tip. 4:50 Also looking to build a mantel which will hide wiring so I will obviously have to modify this design. But a great starting point.
This ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo unit was an easy install and turned out amazing. The dimensions were exact! I took a chance and built the wall prior to receiving the unit which arrived sooner than expected and it fit right in the space I constructed. The heat output is perfect for the space we needed and made the room exactly how we envisioned it to turn out. I am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thank you for the awesome product just in time for the holidays.
Thank you. I just was watching and jammed on the brakes. I'd seen this video before and I just noticed it. Everyone else is zombied out. I'm surprised that Tommy actually made a mistake. I was starting to think he was Clark Kent.
I think he did it right. The original reveal was 1/4" (5/4 vs 4/4 lumber). He then used shims that reduced the 1/4 to about an 1/8. When he is done, the reveal is 1/8" not the original 1/4. It was a bit confusing flipping the board, but in effect he centred the board on the pilaster. Tommy is a master.
Construction may look intimidating, but if you use this simple rule you will be able to handle it . Any project you take on is complicated , but really it’s just a series of un complicated steps , done Correctly , and in order should make any project you wanna take on stress free and come out looking sweet
It might be a good job what you done but for the material of popular is no good as it is too soft as it dints to easy even if you push your finger nail into it it will make an impact on it ok.
Tommy is the man. He makes everything look easy
Tom Silva is the Chuck Norris of old homes.
This guy knows everything about building right!
the man's a genius
Hottest homeowner yet 👍
Also cool carpentry or whatever
Tattoos on her back and everything!
Ther was carpentry??😂
@Shukin Andjivin I get the feeling these men haven't got laid in a very loooooooooooong time. They sound desperate and easily impressed.

I have built several mantels. Nice he carried the theme from the windows...I appreciate such things. :)
Having the right tools for the right job everything is easy.. Tom is the man..
By far my favorite project on the show
Tommy the Master dude!!..
🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
So that is how good a master carpenter is.
He has a whole bunch of experience..Great finish carpenter
I’m a Carpenter and still learning from genius Tommy
I bet when this footage made it's way to post, very small adjustments were made (brightness, color correction) All this talent is as good as it gets, filmed straight across. Well done Tommy.
professional , detailed carpenter, amazing skills .
Fantastic work Tommy and great job by the homeowner too!
I wish they would show more closeups of the finished job at the end
Tom Silva - your like the new Bob Ross. Keep it up good sir.
how the hell did you work that out? What's next, Steve Vai is the Bob Ross of guitar playing?
You,mean Bob Vila? But he never really did any actual work, carpentry or otherwise so that wouldn’t make sense. Hmm. Odd comment.
I forgot the internet.... yeah they guy youre talking about is who I meant.
Tommy KNOWS carpentry !!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME job, and it will finish up nicely, being made of Poplar :) :) :)
I could've done this project... But I'd need 5xs as much wood due to the upside down miter saw mistakes I would've made and countless bad measuring on my part.
Dont feel bad i would have probably cut my hand off with such a hot homeowner standing next to me

The Man knows his stuff and is good at his JOB
No stress, always easy as pie and uses plenty of learned tricks of the trade, Tom is a master if there ever was one ! I could never work and explain like that to a customer lol ! What would tom say if he misses with a brad lol oops ! Tom is the best
Tommy rocks! A real life macgyver.
beautiful peice of art
As corny as cheesy as it might sound, this shows gives me a sense of calmness and peace .
😎
Beautiful job 🔨👏👏
It's easy to spot someone who've done a lot of carpentry. Just the quick instinctive way he marked which side of the mark should be cut is something you can only learn by doing.
IS amazing Sir👍
Why do your own carpentry when you can watch Tommy fix other people’s houses up on UA-cam all day long. Great results.
Tom knows his stuff.
She seemed genuinely excited!
Hey Tommy you look like John bulton that's amazing
Looks a whole lot better than when they started.
Gives a whole new meaning to "passing the mantle", 😆
this Sir it’s in another level of contractors!!👍💪
He makes me realize just how much I don't know.
First step to Learning
Neve stop learning
enjoyed your displayed craftsmanship!!
Guy is such a badass
Great job Tommy 🌟
Tom your awesome carpenter!
Excellent work

Scribe and then freehand it on a table saw.
Nice job Tommy!
Wonder if it was ever sanded and painted. Thinking we need an update on this one.
TOH comes back to visit … "Hey you didn't sand or paint yet!!" "No, I like the natural look"
I shat myself at 0:50 with that thin rip on a jobsite table saw.
That nail gun is boss
Its a brad nailer pal
@@tombryan1 And a jumbojet is also a 747 asshat
Looks good, I would have scribed the top cap to the wall though.
Why?
That looks so good but was also so simple
Well at least he makes it look easy even though it's probably not
im with Thomas lol
It is, Ive made much more ornate Mantel surrounds. But its just a show.
A 2year old could do it...
Nossa Parabéns ficou Lindo Mesmo Ok ?
awesome, great job!
I truly can not follow Tommy with all the offsets, dados, etc but I always love the finished product.
He makes me realise just how many expensive tools I need to make a fire surround. I think I'll buy one instead. Looking great though.
Most of their tools just make the job easier since they're doing it every day. You can easily build this with just a tablesaw
Quê lindo 😍😍😍
Somebody please make a compilation video of every time someone replies, “Sounds good” to what Silva is about to do.
Man that sounds good
Or "Let's get it done!"
and ok Lol
Or when Tom says “What I like to do...”
You just want a HOT! home owner to say sounds good to you!!!
I wasn't a helper like that! haha 😀
Step by step instructions are awesome!
Nice nice.
Love your videos :)
Robertson head screws in the US? how'd those get past customs :P
Those are from the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig he used
I noticed that as well!
I lived in canada for a few years I love robbie heads ha

Now, that is done.
Let's build us a REAL fireplace! 😁
What kind of wood do you use for the top of the mantel? Once I painted mine, it started to warp.
Looks like he used poplar.
Bamboo works best, or bubinga.
You did something wrong then.
lay the wood and wait till the glue ooses out,, followed by a good nailing
lmfao!!!
you forgot to MAAHK it first
Patrick Wagz really haaaad.
yes
Gets a free mantle for laying glue on one board. Sign me up.
Hey where’s your Dewalt nailers
Wow
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for sharing. It is a beautiful mental. I wish i had the ability to build one.
hi love your series, i'd like to know what brand of cordless nail gun you are using .thanks.
Clearly a Bostitch :-)
do you guys every come to San Francisco California?
Yes, the white areas.
Tommy is beautiful.
He thinks youre cute too.
How to Chang tail around fair Place?
Also, this video seems like he was doing a job for his daughter or a close family friend. 😁
Why can't I find a helper like that?
You are not handsome?
@@tombryan1 Ha ha! I hope no less than Tommy!
Norm is very good at building things.
Ok Alright Hum Hum perfect they all say these words. Another nice bird .
Tom silvia is the gandalf of carpenters.
Hes the little pigmy that could.
I clicked because of the pretty lady. #noshame
Nelson Brum same
Me too
TELE6220 Heaven forbid a person found a woman attractive.
Tommy always seems to get these lonely single hotties, but not for 1 minute do I think she's interested in what screws he's using
@@elephantgrass631 The arrested development males feel the need to mention it, as though the public gives a rat's hiney.
I still prefer by to be the helper.
And he still has all his fingers!!
Came here just to read the comments.
He has forgotten more about carpentry than I actually have knowledge of. Lol
By the Code. Do you know the distance you must have, Under the shelve to the top of the stove to be safe .

What she says: "Sounds great!"
What she thinks: "I don't have a clue what you just said or what you mean, but cool."
10:08 she loved stroking the wood
He was supposed to make the reveal softer. Instead he made it deeper because he softened it on the wrong side.

Video very good music to loud.
what did she say? ( 0:46) roflmao

Keith White the client wanted to say alright but changed her mind and finished with oh nice, it ended up being "all rice!"
mmm....rice

Thanks for the tip, now I feel better
Pwapla!
Makes it look easy hit you actually do it you make 100 trips of the store and at the end you leave the project 😂😂😂
I used to date a girl that looked a lot like her, the only difference was my girl had to be blown up every other day, LMAO, JK
So how would I fasten a mantle made out of Jello?
Welp, I guess I'm not making a fireplace mantel anytime soon
2:55 that’s what she said
8:00 :/
It might be a good job what you done but for the material of popular is no good as it is too soft as it dints to easy even if you push your finger nail into it it will make an impact on it ok.
Dont push your fingernail on it. Problem solved.
