- Our old fireplace was covered in ugly marble tile. In this video I attempt to restore this 100+ year old fireplace to its former glory.

Enjoyed watching you restore THIS OLD HOUSE
Hey, I like how that previous contractor found a good use of pennies - rigid and thin shims with standardized measurements!
Right! I don't disagree with the methodology but take them back out when you're done!
This video's quality and production value do not match the attention it has received. It needs a couple million more views!
Excellent video, looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!
@@mujinmakes Fuck the views. All of your work, production and improvements, are masterpieces. Views are not value. This work is proof you know what is.
I think it’s criminal that this channel doesn’t have more viewers and traffic
I think it’s about to blow up.
Looks a million times better, well worth the effort! I use steel wool for the first cleaning off when stripping, the sort you get in bulk packs from the hardware, but that's mostly metal, not sure how it would work on brick.
My dude, what speakers are you rocking in the background there? They look delightfully mean.
New fireplace is 🔥 well done!
Oh those old things? Those are Klipsch CF-4s. No one has ever run them at max load and lived to talk about it.
@@mujinmakes face melters, I love it!
Significant improvement. Kudos for trudging through the stripping process.
interesting video thanks for making this
well produced as always. I am suprised your channel doesn't have more views. Though, I suppose everyones youtube fame has to start somewhere. at least you didn't go from crap to well produced overnight, you avoided the cringe yearbook phase of some other creators. can't wait for the next one!
Loled at "prego floor leveler". Love your sense of humor man, keep it up.
Could the pennies match the year of the renovation? I've often thought about doing the same on our projects, but I worry that someone is going to use that information to hunt me down and beat me senseless for something I _thought_ was a good idea at the time.
That would have been cool. They're all different dates tho.
this seems to have been a common theme throughout many _old houses_ ... I grew up living in a house from the 60's-70's, and we were constantly remodeling during my time living there. We discovered many beautiful natural features, such as the hardwood flooring, and our fireplace bricks as well, had been covered up with things like garish tile and linoleum. To us such things seem inconceivable, but to them, it was probably trendy and stylish.
Beautiful work!
mildly yucky thumbnail
but super chill and relaxing video
Great video. Mack told us you were good to watch. I'm now a subscriber 😂
Looks excellent man. I love that your keeping to original hardware (people love ripping out the good stuff these days to save the elbow grease). Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful, it's been a while I hope it's still just as cozy this winter
doesn’t hearth rhyme with Garth?
I think you're right 😂
It does, but why doesn't it rhyme with Earth?
Tomato, tomoto, same difference.
Well, they say a heart sometimes hurts, afterall. Anyway, that tomato sounds like a heartbreaker.
Just found your channel and have watched a few episodes... Keep it up man, great content! The dry humor is my cupa.
great job, it looks sooooooo much better now
Thank you! Night and day
Honestly, I wasn’t sure if the way you were saying hearth wasn’t some clever joke I wasn’t getting. Wait, it isn’t a joke I’m not getting, is it? Like heart, hearth, hart, b’gart? I dunno, but nice fireplace.
Yes! I said it on purpose as a joke 👍
Wait wait, are you using a wood chisel? 😢
You're not an asshole!
Thanks Duffy, come play cards sometime?
@@mujinmakes man I haven't been over there forever. Sounds fun. I bought a new game called Crokinole though. It's pretty neat, a dexterity game. You could make a sweet board with your craftsmanship
@@duffmanohyeah89 Haven't heard of that one before but I'm definitely adding it to the list of prospect projects.
@@mujinmakes it's a Canadian game, eh? Like a cross between shuffle board and curling. Mine is a "Tracey" board. They're a small family business from Ontario. They make beautiful boards.
It looks great! But, dude, you put in the TIME on this project. I've done this kind of work before and it is definitely a labor of love. Loving the channel!
Thank you!
It wasn't what I was looking for when I googled "stripper by fireplace" but I found it educational and entertaining nonetheless.
Is "herth" what its' called up north? I'm from southern US and have always heard it called a "harth"
No, you're right, I'm just a fool that doesn't look up how things are pronounced before I go making voiceovers
love it
Those pennies were probably shims, lol.
Yes! I believe you're right.
Neat-o
Good stuff man.
it's a lost tradition called "immurement" - hiding coins in your work and typically the coins you use have the current year on them.
These did not have the current year lol. But you might be on to something, I continue to find them to this day
@@mujinmakes it's definitely a "thing" tradesmen used to do - def something that is fading away. my old house was built in the 80s by a Polish guy and his friends and I find stuff in the walls and under the tiles. from what I've been told by multiple old trademen/builders, it's for good luck and sometimes just for fun.
I came here to say roughly the same thing. The Polish guys where I'm from glue pennies places. A transmission shop I worked in had a 1956 penny stuck to the floor.
I'm missing some major context cuz I'm a resource room kid. 1956 was when the building was built. I LIKE YOUR CHANNEL MAN!!!
why doing all this trouble and then leave the side of the brick on the inside white ?
I couldn't get it off! That paint just wouldn't react to the stripper or the wire brushes. I think the years of exposure to heat may have had something to do with it.
@@mujinmakes i thought the same thing at first, but in the final shot it struck me as a decent little bit of character, like just a hint of evidence to what stories that fireplace could tell...
So so good!!
