What a boring waste of a man cave. I bet the women love you ya boring dickhead. Teddy Roosevelt room. You a hill Billy not a brain cell in that head or a real woman in you're bed. I bet you treat you're wife like shit you can tell you a selfish prick. Go take a run and jump onto the freeway I'm 40 seconds in and falling asleep watching you talk crap
I will take your recommendations under advisement as I move forward with this project. You have given me a lot to think about. And if I may make a suggestion - you may want to consider getting a hug, I have a feeling it could do you some good.
You seem to have some pent-up issues that you need to get checked out. Maybe you should stay off of all social network sites for a while until the medication has time to take effect.
Something tells me that you are projecting feelings that you feel guilty about. You really could use a hug, if you have anyone near you that would be willing to touch you, with that said, you have a nice life. I hope things improve for you.
Sounds like it’s going to be a great series! Maybe add a walnut covered mini fridge, for beverages and snacks, for while working at your desk or watching tv?
We did carpet in our basement as well, and we were told we we crazy. 3 years later, no issues. I'm a bit jealous of the recessed lights in the faux beams and soffit. If I had more cieling height I would have gone that route.
Looks great! A good addition to go with the secret door would be a secret compartment in a mantle, mount/artwork, or in your built-in shelves for hidden, but secure PPE.
Love everything you have planned. I'd say before you button up the ceiling (if you have not done so already) and walls, incorporate the speakers for your TV and maybe the sub buried in the wall somewhere like the closet. You're going through so much effort to make a gorgeous space, it'd be slick to minimize the intrusion of the speakers into the room. Teddy Roosevelt spaces don't need speaker wires and bulky speaker boxes showing, but if you're going to have a nice TV, the sound should keep pace. Look forward to seeing the progress.
I'm doing a similar room in my basement. I'm going to add a Winmau dart board and the wiring for a Samsung Frame TV to pull double duty as a TV when I want it to be, and a screen for dashboards that I need to keep an eye on whilst I'm working. Other than that, the cigar lounge feel is very nice. My room in question will also have a cold storage off of it. So I'll have floor to ceiling bookshelves with a bookcase murphy door to hide the room.
dont over do the tv size (there is such a thing as too close to too big) smart switches for dumb lights (workspace) smart lock/NFC switch for "door" to said MAN ZONE.
The glue down carpet will not last on a basement floor. I would complete a moister wicking test on the floor prior to buying the carpet. A vinyl plank would be ideal for a basement.
I already picked up the carpet on clearance. I figure I’m not out much if it doesn’t work. But I really need the the sound dampening quality of the carpet over a hard floor.
I love the fact that your man cave will not be childish like most man caves are. If you're going to have a tv in that room, why not also have some built in speakers in the walls and ceiling for surround sound?
I like what you’re thinking there, but it’s already so small and echoey, I don’t think surround sound is necessary. Besides, if we ever move I hate to leave that stuff in the walls.
Almost makes me wish I had a basement. How about a making that comfy movie watch chair to be bespoke for you and the room! This should be a really fun series to watch.
I love the beam work and I think the cross beams were a good idea! Did you say if there will be a fireplace? That would be kinda cool, maybe with a big mantle.. Cool project! Have fun with it!
The chair definitely needs to be a Morris chair with marching table two chairs and make that and episode. I love history and throwing that into the story hooked me instantly
If you want to stick with a teddy Roosevelt styled scheme you might want to consider disguising or hiding the high-tech items. I am half way through doing something similar in my workshop. By day it is a stock standard woodworking bench and tool storage setup. It changes into nerd party mode with a few sliding and hinged panels. Fully functional in both modes. Win win.
@@GunflintDesigns I've hidden my tv behind a workshop pegboard. The pegboard had been reinforced and on hinges so it can still have tools hanging from it. Maybe the pegboard needs some walnut trim! :-)
Really looking forward to following this larger project. The ugly, downstairs room with a secret entrance to something walnut and leather is a fantastic idea.
Sweet project and I’m sure it will be beautiful. Only issue I see is when the house gets sold down the road the new owners will rip it all out and install their ideas of what looks good……life marches on.
@@GunflintDesigns Just put in a good sump pump you will be fine with a water bearer under the wood floor just like they do under tile for bathrooms that would look so darn good! but I know it would be $$$
It looks great already! One thing I would do that I didn’t hear you mention is an accent wall or section near your walnut beams. Maple shiplap or barnyard accent paneling I think would highlight the star of the show (walnut) even better
On backside of the ugly bookshelf why don't you make something from walnut of course that you can't tell where the door is. Like you said if you don't know it's there then you don't know. Maybe like panel the walls in walnut with the trim being sapwood walnut. ?????
I will be along for every bit of these projects. Would have even liked what you have done so far. Only thing I think of that might be cool would be a wall mural on the back wall. You can get self-adhesive large wallpapers on amazon pretty inexpensively. You could take inspiration from Teddy and do a image of Glacier National Park or something like that.
Not sure how you feel about mirrors, but a big walnut framed mirror could make it feel more spacious. And if it's Teddy inspired, you might think about bears, old hunting equipment, maps, globes, ect.
@@GunflintDesigns Also - we've got some decorative beams in our living room that have been painted to match the ceiling. Thanks for the idea of covering them in "junk" walnut - I'm going to look into that
I would make any art pieces you plan to hang be acoustic panels. Lots of videos for diy solutions. I made a dozen a few years ago for my hike theater and they are great!
Love the idea for the new project! I hope this series gets better traction than the Casita (bad timing there…did I’d make the move?) Love the hidden door idea. The only thing I would add are a few Ethernet cable from wherever you keep your router down to various sides of the room, so you don’t have to worry about wifi dead spots and can record your podcast down there. Wired is always better than wireless from a performance standpoint. Eliminate that headache while you can.
The casita is still hiding out in the barn. It became a low priority when we moved and Covid hit. Someday I’ll get back to it. I have one Ethernet cable hidden in the wall where the computer will go. I just need to punch a hole and hook up the faceplate.
I have been following you since you started and have seen your keen eye and imagination bring all your projects to life. Your ideas for this room tells me that my intuition was right about you. Your woodworking skills have improved along with you ability to present those ideas to an audience. Keep up the great work and I am really looking forward to seeing what this room develops into. Cheers!
Awesome ideas for your man cave Mark!! I look forward to seeing the progression. I can’t think of any more cool ideas. Sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into it and got it covered. 👍🏻
When you do the hidden door how about getting intouch with David O Lundell on UA-cam he makes awesome gaming tables and furniture with loads of secret hiding holes/draws etc plus he makes all the hardware that he uses in each and every build. I think he'd jump at the chance of making your hidden doors opening feature, it would be a cross between Harry Potter and James Bond 007. You'd never know the opener or the item to open the door was there unless you was shown!!!
Can't wait to see the end product. If you're going for a cigar bar feel, I would add some exterior ventilation (sorta like a bathroom exhaust) or just an air purifier for the smoke. That's assuming you actually smoke cigars that is...
That feather crotch figure by the outlet for the Millwalnut tool chest is fantastic! (8:13). Looking forward to seeing it all come together. Something that might seem up your alley and could be incorporated into other built-ins is concealment furniture ;).
What a boring waste of a man cave. I bet the women love you ya boring dickhead.

The fuck are you on about?
Sounds like you have a bunch of great ideas for this space.
Thanks!
It's looking really great already. I love the design ideas, my favorite is the secret door 😂Can't wait to see it finished.
You and me both!
All that work and no flopping, singing rubber fish on the wall? 😂 Its going to be a great space!
If I could find one… maybe it would make its way in there.
Excited to see this...the way you explained it with all walnut and leather gave me a great mental picture.
It’s going to be fun to work through all these but ideas.
Hidden beer drink fridge made to look like a piece of walnut furniture. Michael Alm did some acoustic panels for his office. Will help with the sound
Sounds like it’s going to be a great series! Maybe add a walnut covered mini fridge, for beverages and snacks, for while working at your desk or watching tv?
That might be worth doing!
Can’t wait to see this through to the end! I think a standing humidor for the corner would be awesome!
Great ideas but I would definitely put in a coffee making station.
We did carpet in our basement as well, and we were told we we crazy. 3 years later, no issues. I'm a bit jealous of the recessed lights in the faux beams and soffit. If I had more cieling height I would have gone that route.
I'm glad to hear the carpet wasn't an issue for you!
Ice maker for the bourbon? Water line, drain.
Looks great! A good addition to go with the secret door would be a secret compartment in a mantle, mount/artwork, or in your built-in shelves for hidden, but secure PPE.
I like where you’re head is at. That’s definitely going to be involved.
I agree, there needs to be more hidden places like maybe a place to hide the "good" drinks.

This should be a really fun series to watch.
If hadn't considered building my own chair... I'll have to ponder on that.
You mentioned cigars and bourbon. What about making a nice humidor and liquor cabinet.
Oh and you didn’t mention where the disco ball was going 🪩 🤣
The disco ball is built into the lights! They have a music mode and strobe with the beat.
I am looking on doing the same thing. I am vacillating between using walnut or mahogany. Can you explain why you went with walnut instead of mahogany?
Because I live on a walnut tree farm, so everything is walnut!
I love the beam work and I think the cross beams were a good idea!
Did you say if there will be a fireplace? That would be kinda cool, maybe with a big mantle..
Cool project! Have fun with it!
A fireplace would be awesome! But there’s not going to be enough room for that ☹️
like the idea. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Maybe cigar chair, round table with chess board. just to set drinks on lol.
You have got the right idea!
Bar with mini fridge for the boubon! Also, if a cigar room won't you need some good smoke extraction? Excited to see how it turns out!
There won't actually be any cigar smoking going on, thats just the aesthetic I have in mind.
The chair definitely needs to be a Morris chair with marching table two chairs and make that and episode. I love history and throwing that into the story hooked me instantly
I’m not familiar with that chair, but I’ll look into it! I’m glad I hooked you with that.
I have a great idea… you should add some walnut!!! JK Room is looking awesome. Great job.
You’re right… I need to push it up a few notches don’t I.
You should build one of those hidden liquor storage globes, I think that whole go great in that type of room.
Oh I like that a lot! I’ll have to start looking for a globe!
I'd like to see some hidden firearm storage incorporated into the desk/ work area.
That’ll be fun to add in!
I was surprised that you put all those nails in… did you consider an adhesive?
I used both. The nails were mainly to help hold my lines since there was a little bending and I didn’t want the seems to open up.
Inspirational my friend. End result will turn great.
I’m just hoping so!

I think most everything will be hidden inside the cabinets I’m building. The only thing sticking out will be the TV. Which might get a walnut frame.

That's certainly possible. Hopefully I'm long gone and won't know about it,
@@GunflintDesigns That’s exactly how I feel with my home and shop. 😊
I want to see doors like the one on last man standing gun cabinet
That’s a pretty classy idea!
It's looking great there already, Mark! 😃
Looking forward to the projects!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, will do!
your going to need a portrait of Teddy for over the bar!!
I just have to pick the right one!
What ever happened to the camper restoration project?
Priorities. We moved and don’t do much camping these days. It’s still sitting in the barn just waiting for it’s time in the sun.
Looking forward to the videos!!! but I think you need a Walnut floor lol just kidding!!
Oh that crossed my mind... but I decided that wouldn't do well if the basement ever got wet again!
@@GunflintDesigns Just put in a good sump pump you will be fine with a water bearer under the wood floor just like they do under tile for bathrooms that would look so darn good! but I know it would be $$$

Awesome! Where is the bar?
Won’t be much of a bar, but more of a bourbon shelf.
Put a camera on the outside of the hidden bookshelf, so you can see what is going on or who is out there.
Awesome man, I can't wait to see the Walnut room in action.. sounds amazing.
You mentioned cigars and bourbon. Not fond of cigars, but wet bar?

Looks awesome Mark! Glad to finally see it after hearing all about it on the podcast. I can already see the “Julian and Son” style and inspiration.
Thanks Chris. Those guys are next-level aren't they?
They do beautiful work….but so do you. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Ok I’m in! This is cool. Walnut and more walnut.
See, you get it!
Sounds great so far, looking forward to seeing the next video 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Let’s call it a study
That feather crotch figure by the outlet for the Millwalnut tool chest is fantastic! (8:13). Looking forward to seeing it all come together. Something that might seem up your alley and could be incorporated into other built-ins is concealment furniture ;).
You and I are on the same page... I've already been researching and considering some designs for concealment furniture!
yes laser a name plate on top of the walnut paneled tool chest that says "Milwaulnut" in the same style/font as the milwaukee name plaque. Great Idea.
@@GunflintDesigns Ramon Valdez does some pretty sexy concealment stuff.
