I purchased my 3 mtr Festool track about three years ago for kitchen and bathroom work, and it's got to be the Best Buy ever! not cheap but well worth it 👍🏻
Looks fantastic that. Although personally, I prefer to prime & undercoat, sand, and prime & undercoat all of my MDF before fitting. I just find that you get a much, much better finish and there is a lot less faffing around too.
Well, i see in upcoming videos we will se your flooring choice, as a corridor is started😉And panelling nice and interesting job,well done👍and what a colour)
Morrells mdf edge sealer, first coat brushed on, ( you can spray it ) let it dry, denib with 320, second coat, denib and good to go and you don’t have to be careful with it what ever goes on the face sands off real easy. Been using it well over 20 years in the joinery shop on mdf
👏👏I think it looks great but honestly my first thought when you said you're not going to spray it was "Ooo I bet they regret that" and as I got to the end of the video those are the exact words you spoke 😄 that extra prep will always be worth it in the end and I'm shocked tim didn't undertake the task due to that detail eye of his 😉.
@@TheRestorationCouple Cheers for listening 😊, Jo's "painting" really shouldn't be missed 😂🤣😂. Any chance it can be squeezed in before the "Paint drying too quickly" episode (no.58 I think) rather than tagged on to the end; unfortunately RUclips doesn't seem to sort the playlist videos by date published (which you'd think they would)? Just thinking of other latecomers, like myself, who are late to your channel.
Looks great! Panelling can really transform a room. Painting with dark colours is quite unforgiving and I agree with you, Tim, a brush finish looks better than an orange peel roller. I did all my rooms with a roller but I'm in the process of painting the hall/stairs/landing panelling with a brush and it's a much flatter more uniform finish - I'm having to work quickly though as the paint goes off very quickly and can leave different sheen levels when going over partially dried areas.
It’s worth the faff it looks lovely well done you guys, you remind me so much if me and my hubby. My hubby and I have been together 23 years and still we lean on each other in hysterics laughing 😂
I did dark panelling in my downstairs toilet, my Wagner airless died just after the primer so used my compressor and a hvlp gun - came out great but I do have some movement in the corners which show the white undercoat. I later boxed in some pipes that needed painting but wasn't going to use the spray gun, floetrol worked great, not perfect but much better than paint alone - would recommend (albeit on a big area could get expensive as you use quite a bit)
The reason for the larger stile at the bottom of a door is to look the same from standing height. The bottom hinge is placed higher for the same reason. Love your work 👍
Great vid... so can i check as im about to do the same... the brads are just going into the plasterboard and not studs? Do they hold in plasterboard ok? Looks great though!
Tim and anyone else in the comments, how would you fix to masonary walls that are also plastered. Full height panelling to go in on old walls that have slightly undulations so I don’t think grip fill etc on its own will be adequate? Will the nailers go through plaster? Keep up the great work Tim, cabins looking great!
I panelled my hall at home, one side was block wall, other side was plasterboard, I used , drill the wall with 6mm sds bit, use 6mm fischer duopower wall plugs, pre drill mdf with 3mm bit, then use lost tite screws to fix to the wall. 32mm lost tite screws, holes are no bigger than a nail head, then fill and sand.
Great job, we are looking at doing the same but only half way up the wall. On your last panelling video you used MDF backing board and was thinking this was a good idea for our panelling due to the walls not being perfect, my question would be is it better to to place MDF on the wall first then panel onto that? Would that give me a better finish? Thanks
Very nice finish. I’m intrigued as to why you have left a small section to the left of the door? I’m very interested in doing this but am not sure how to tackle round windows in the middle of a wall. Any ideas?
@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks for the quick reply! So a vertical either side of the window and horizontal top and bottom but then would you try and match the horizontals with the rest of the panelling and the width of the window would determine the gap between the remaining verticals?
Hi Tim, love your videos. Your journey is inspiring. I have a question for you. We are looking to do a panel/feature wall in our dining room. We currently have an unplastered wall. Would you recommend putting MDF sheets on the wall for a smooth finish, then doing the panelling? Hope the question makes sense. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Depends how good the plastering would be. I often counter batten the wall and then use a sheet over that but that’s often for lower panelling with a trim on top. It gives the opportunity to run cables too.
Hi Tim. Looks great as always! Can you advise what paint brand, finish and colour you used for the top coat? I've opted for Farrow and Ball modern eggshell for panelling in the past but yours seems to have a pretty similar finish and is no doubt much cheaper! Thanks 🙂
I think it would have worked better if the horizontal line was the same distance as the vertical line is from the ligth switch. I am not meaning to be critical but that is where the eye is drawn to, I guess it is something for people to consider when panelling.
@@TheRestorationCouple That would make sense! It's looking great, I am very jealous of what you've been able to do. It's clearly been a lot of hard work getting where you are now, but that's the life!
Yo .a word? Re mathematics when i went to Primary school we used Chalk and a mini blackboard {AKA Slate}.. The point is my maths teacher didnae look anything like yer good lady {AKA JO.} He looked more like King Kong and had an attitude similar to it. Scared the phoo out of me. So be nice to JO. That's why i still cannae count to well.,
Oh No thats definitely not what we put on, but think the go a bit random. In a plug for Patreon we now put up our videos on there AD free a day or 2 ahead of their release. ;)
@@TheRestorationCouple oh sorry, i was watching it on the TV with my mother! i had to rewind, yes i thought it was out of character!! and i assumed you would say sorry and edit it blaming the kids. It really sounded like you were trying to admit through the giggles and then Tim was acting as if ''yeah you've done it again Jo''
Love the color! Spraying would be great but with time spent taping up barriers I think it is fine the way it is. Rock On, Hodgepodgers!!!

Just did a half wall panelling for nursery, and I enjoyed doing this little project
Floetrol is brilliant when spayed. I used it when I spray painted my kitchen and the finish is perfect.
Arrived today. Will try it out. 👍
Cabin really coming together now, can you add this to the cabin build playlist please?
Good shout. Added it now! 👍

Side panel left of top box use any pot piping make a wine rack to hide depth ..

Love your work 👍
What paint did you use? Can you use wall water based vinyl Matt on wood and walls?
Yes invest in flowtrol it definitely gives you more time and less brush strokes. There are two types though make sure you get the correct one 😁
I have 9mm. Will it go better with that ? I also don't have a nail gun. Suggestions?
Great vid... so can i check as im about to do the same... the brads are just going into the plasterboard and not studs? Do they hold in plasterboard ok? Looks great though!
The lesson should ALWAYS be "Listen to Jo more" 😎

Any advice on spraying? I'd love to get a gun to blat through rooms, but how much mist comes from it? Does it go on carpet easily etc?

Built in wardrobe that side. I would frame around window first and then divide up in the best way.

What was the make of the water based acrylic paint? The green? Good vid by the way.
Sorry just seen further down the list

This was Johnstons acrylic eggshell. We are just in the process of doing another video on the paint and it might be worth watching that first 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple Great stuff, thanks guys. I've got a Brewers account so can have that mixed. Will be sure to watch the video too.
How much will 1 litre of primer cover?
Now that is a good reason to wear a raincoat inside, just in case Jo dribbles paint on you
Great video - we're about to do something similar soon. What sockets and switches are those with the rubber type surround on them?
Click deco I think they are.
There's a T-shirt right there "If you can listen to Jo more"
I should listen to….. arrow left or right 😂
@15:00 I thought Jo seemed over-dressed for painting indoors... That turned out not to be the case! 😀
All our overalls are in storage somewhere still so my old waterproofs it was and put to the test too! 😂
off topic, but whatever happened to that old caravan you guys bought early on in the move?
Still there for emergency toilet breaks but going soon.
@@TheRestorationCouple no nights spent there in the dog house yet then ;)
I don’t understand why you did not paint the MDF before putting it up?
I think it would have worked better if the horizontal line was the same distance as the vertical line is from the ligth switch. I am not meaning to be critical but that is where the eye is drawn to, I guess it is something for people to consider when panelling.
Hi guys just wondering how long a rest do u guys need before u start the big house ?
However long we get. 😂 think there will be a lot of planning before we need to start building.
You'll always remember that stain. Remember that time you dumped the paint down the front of your coat???
Tim Could you paint the wall first then add the panels or would that leave to much touch up
Cheers Mark. 👍
Was thinking the same, also painting the outer and upper strips before attaching them to avoid having to cut-in afterwards
You really should have used a Matt Paint
Agreed. This is eggshell but far more satin than the dulux eggshell. More obvious with dark colour too.
Why have you stopped short of one side of the room?
built in wardrobes will go where we have stopped! Sorry forgot to mention that.
@@TheRestorationCouple That would make sense! It's looking great, I am very jealous of what you've been able to do. It's clearly been a lot of hard work getting where you are now, but that's the life!

Funny, I really don't like a sprayed finish. Where's the texture? Love a bit of texture me, I even like the orange peel effect from a roller.

What did she say was having a baby?? Lol. I couldn't make it out.
I said "I'm pissing paint" ;) -Jo
Anyone else having issues with massive overkill on the adverts?? 10 minutes in and I'm on my 6th ad break! Losing the will to watch.
Must be your settings I only noticed 1 advert
Oh No thats definitely not what we put on, but think the go a bit random. In a plug for Patreon we now put up our videos on there AD free a day or 2 ahead of their release. ;)
just to confirm please, did Jo actually piss herself whilst laughing ?
Just to confirm I said “I am pissing paint!” Not myself 😂🤣 although after 3 babies it’s always a possibility 😂
