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.
Thank you for this video. As an avid DIY'er, you filled in a lot of the how-to gaps for me. I'm actually doing this in a 70's era sunken living room where one wall is 9' and the other is 8' on an angle to the adjacent 9' wall. Should look pretty cool when I'm done!
Congratulations ! You have done a FINE JOB ! And proven once again the adage " Measure twice ( or more if you need ) and cut once. Above all I like very much the way you THINK first. The results are on yourn side. BRAVO.
this came out great, really a joy to watch and happy to hear you'd be switching the outlet and switch plates out because that was the only thing I thought looked off. Taking notes from this one, nice build!
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).
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.
Get some Lutron Claro satin black outlets and screwless outlet/switchplate covers. Will get rid of the eyesore of the white. Looks really good, nice work.
Did you watch the whole video? I explain that I am switching it out for a black and brass Buster & Punch switch along with the outlet. It’s the next video in this series 😁
Crushed the spacing, and covering that gap was poetry. I'm about to attempt vertical wood slats as a staircase partition and came across your video and channel. Subscribed!
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.
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.
That would look fabulous! In our house, this is a hallway as their is a billiards table right across from it so we don’t have room for any other furniture
Love the design, the one thing I see as a maintenance problem is the space between the slats at the floor level; the debris, dog hair, dust accumulation.
Thank you! After a year of having it installed, I can tell you it has not been an issue. Because the depth of the slats are so shallow, a broom easily cleans in between them. I think it was worth it to not have a baseboard trim
I did this around my front door outside wall, and it came out awesome! ALSO: I went with horizontal instead of vertical slats. Something different and totally pops!
theres a thirth option with the slats : buy ( a) good sheet(s) of plywood and cut them intoo strips this works as long as the length of the sheets is the length you need , will be way cheaper than buying slats though more work to rip them down you allso need to paint the sides in the back ground colour to hide the ply's
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 :(
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
This is so crazy... I am getting ready to buy a smoker (commercial) to do Beef Jerky... I just found out a few minutes ago... they make a Smoker that uses SAWDUST... OAK is the best for Bar-B-Que smoker... and your leftover OAK sawdust is GOLD... There has got to be away to make a solid brick to put in a pan... to smoke beef in a grill ... We must look it up on RUclips... All the answers are on RUclips... LOL
Thanks! As I mentioned in the video, I switched them out for Buster + Punch Black and Brass Switches! I made a video about it shortly after posting this one 😁
Nice looking accent wall. I'm going to do the same thing on a wall I have. I know you used a but joint on the two boxes you made for the outlet and light switch. I wondered if you didn't consider doing 45 degree cuts on those. That's probably a little over the top, but I wondered.
I appreciate the tip but I’m not a huge fan of painters tape. Usually bleeds through - especially black on white. And it takes longer to set up than if I do it free hand
Going to do this for the reception of our language school in Brazil. Thank you. I love this!!!
Wonderful!
I love the box around the switch box idea...brilliant and looks slick.
Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing. Putting an MDF under the slats is a brilliant idea that makes nailing much easier.
Thank you! Yes, it allowed me to nail the boards wherever without having to worry about hitting a stud and it paints very well too!
at $53 a sheet it is too painful for me to purchase 3/4" mdf
Great job, well measured and executed. I like the timber trim around the outlet and light switches. Well done!
Thank you very much!

Rewatching this video over and over again. Going to try this out in my new condo-thank you for this instructional video!!
Haha, that’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video are able to use it as a guide! Good luck with the project and let me know how it goes!
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.
Thank you! And that’s a good thought, thanks for the tip
Great video. All the important information in a quick, concise matter. Walk looks fantastic.

The surrounds on the light switches and outlet look really good
Love your videos! I liked the white light switches better but you do you! 🙏
this came out great, really a joy to watch and happy to hear you'd be switching the outlet and switch plates out because that was the only thing I thought looked off. Taking notes from this one, nice build!
Thank you, I really appreciate it! I posted a video on the new switches too if you want to check it out!

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
Thank you for this video. Very, very nice. Beatiful.

Thank you for this video we be using this in our motel renovation.
Brilliant to add that detail around the outlets!
Agreed! Really happy with the way it turned out!
love the detail around the electrical plates. that turned out great. whole thing looks awesome.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Sweet, this is a great example of we Im wanting to do in my place. thanks
Perfect! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful 😁 thanks for watching!
The slat wall looks nice and the house is even noicer!!
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Just a tip for caulking. Put some soap and water in spray bottle. after you put caulk spray it and it goes off smooth with no sticking :)
Great tip, but that’s more helpful for silicone caulk. This caulk was acrylic or water-based so a damp finger does the trick!
It gives so much character . Good job
Thank you! Agreed on the character 😁
The moment when you realise, you live in germany and cant just simply "nail" things on the wall. Cause of stone :D nice vid!
😂 thank you! I think a strong adhesive would be plenty strong as the boards don’t need much to stay upright. Nails are just a nice insurance
I think you spelt - *the rest of the world - wrong!
Construction adhesive to stick and screw (you can screw into concrete) a plywood or MDF backerboard and then nail ....
I didn’t realise Germany or the rest of the world didn’t have MDF for the nailable backer board 😂
@@gerrym4377 Nice…
Perfection! I like the light switch boxes too
Thank you! I really love how it turned out too!
That was clever using the mdf panels behind them. This helped me figure out how to do this for myself.
Thanks you! And perfect - glad I could help!
Spectacular work! Love that you used oak not plywood. The danish oil against black is also a great choice.
Thank you! Agreed on the oak, danish oil, black combo!
I always wanted to do
slat wall for my house. Thank you for the video. Love how it turns out so much!!! Amazing job!!!
Thank you so much 😊 Good luck with your project!
Great job well done it looks professional!!! Enjoy
Thank you!
Get some Lutron Claro satin black outlets and screwless outlet/switchplate covers. Will get rid of the eyesore of the white. Looks really good, nice work.
We ended up going with Buster and Punch black and brass plates! I posted a video on it already and you can see it in this videos thumbnail
My favorite video so far, love the look of this
That clamp on the wood with the glue was deeply satisfying 😄
Agreed! Woodworking can be very satisfying haha!
I also want to make this wall panel,Really a treasure blogger
Go for it!
Nice job. really like how it turned out.
Gorgeous work. I even think you don't need to do stairs' side: contrast is popping. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thank you, really appreciate the support!
Really good piece of handwork.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Beautiful finish.
Thank you so much!
that light switch trim is brutal!!!!!

looks amazing ..! definitely on my list as a project!
Go for it!
This looks great! Nice work!
Thanks!
Very nice!! Love it! Grts from 🇧🇪 Belgium
Thank you so much!
The same shade wood consol table would look good against that wall with a black vase and white orchids. Finished
That would look fabulous! In our house, this is a hallway as their is a billiards table right across from it so we don’t have room for any other furniture
Great work man. Love the attention to detail. That nail popping out made me a little sad for you haha! Top job
Thank you so much! I was really frustrated too, but all turned out okay
"The level was calling my name... wanted to be used " was the best dialogue bro. Best wishes ☺️
I knew someone would catch that haha! Thanks for watching!

Horizontal indoors? Eeek… dust!
@@timmytwister6397 outdoors
Turned out really nice!!!
Thank you!
I used walnut colour stained pine and it's warmer than the yellow oak
Got it, thanks!
Fantastic job and a great video. Thanks!

Gotta hook a shopvac up to that saw, I think mine hooks right up to it with no adapter even.
Thanks! And yes, dust collection is on my to do list. It’s just a very long list haha
Fantastic job
Thank you!
I think it looks awesome! :D I am very exited to to something like that, its very popular these days.
Thank you!
@@GoldenKeyDesign I just channel and I love it!

never seen someone resort to pushing out an overhead squat to express joy... but congrats on a great job!
I love a good workout 🏋️♀️ 😂
Looks fab!
Thank you, really appreciate it!
good job, dude. thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
When using caulk, if you caulk forward rather than backward, you don't have to then run your finger over it! On a big job, this saves a lot of time.
Great! Thanks for the tip!
That would look amazing surrounding a Samsung frame tv!
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Agreed, that would look really nice!

Nice! Good luck with the project!
If you mix some of the saw dust with your glue you will get a colour matched filler for you timber
Yep! Great tip
Excellent content and presentation. I hope that your channel will take off 🙂

Painter's tape, pro tip. No need to be careful to mess up other painted areas.
I appreciate the tip but I’m not a huge fan of painters tape. Usually bleeds through - especially black on white. And it takes longer to set up than if I do it free hand
