That is some kind of nice there Mr. Mike. Only a well tune saw and good blades, and moulding nested correctly can get those perfect miters. I need to work on my set up,... lol Thanks for sharing, and God bless
I LOVE the use of the "outer layer" face boards and molding to cover up the pocket holes! I was expecting a marathon-timelapse of dwels and pull-saw action (been there, done that) but BOOM, you just threw another board over them and they vanish! ;) Question - can the 720pro be used in lieu of the the 520pro (4:22) in a clamp-in-place configuration? My 720pro is still "in the mail" (anxiously awaiting it any day now), so I don't have it in-hand yet to play with, but I was just curious... obviously the 520pro is essentially made for this exact purpose; I just wonder if the 720pro can be re-configured a bit to accomplish the same thing.
Haha, yes I really thought through the construction of this to make it fast and not have any pocket holes to fill. Also I didn't mention it in the video, but I used solid wood for the edging because iron on edge banding would potentially loosen when the fireplace is used. (I didn't want to have to make s house call and repair my lack of forethought 😂) Anyways, yes the 720 can absolutely be used in both positions. The 520 was just a bit easier to use in that situation. Thanks for watching!
LOL! I'm just stubborn I guess🤣. It's on my list of shop projects to build a surround around the saw, but I'm also planning to build new cabinets so I'm just trying to not do repetitive work 🤣
Is that an active fireplace? Is there enough clearance? I’m not a safety inspector or a snitch. Just looking to figure out a design that’s safe and works.
I'm not sure if they actually use it, but yes there is enough clearance. There's a guideline for the depth of the surround and how much clearance is required by code so I made sure to follow that 👍
Hi Josiah, Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Honestly I'd just Google what's code for your area. I remember there being several sites with the information. Hope that helps and happy building!
Ugh I know! For these kinds of projects it's difficult navigating that because for my client I'm there to do a job and sometimes they aren't comfortable with me even filming just the install. I haven't even seen finished pictures of it painted.

A true craftsman - generous with his knowledge. Thanks, Mike!
Absolutely😃 Glad you enjoyed it!
This is beautiful. Not a weekend warrior project, but beautiful :-).
Thank you very much, it really came out great. Just hate I wasn't able to grab shots after it was painted! It would take a couple weekends 😂

LOL yeah you can't just slap it together and expect tight miters that's for sure! Thank you very much for the complements sir. God bless you too🙏
Hi! I have built a wood surround for my fireplace. It needs to be finished yet. What hear-resistant lacquer would you recommend to use?
Beautiful
Thank you so much!
@@WoodshopMike no thank you...good stuff
It would be nice to see more detailed views of the finished surround.
Unfortunately I want around after the crew painted the surround.

Mike- Nice! Great work! Been a year + w/ the delta cruzer- how have you been dealing with the sawdust?
Thank you!

I love it.
@@pattywells3375 thank you!
Looks nice. Way to plug the Kreg product by using 500 pocket holes. LOL
Thank you! It was only 487 pocket holes 🤣

I enjoyed your video. Thank you! Where do you think I could find that code for clearances? It is for Utah.@@WoodshopMike
Hi Josiah,
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Honestly I'd just Google what's code for your area. I remember there being several sites with the information. Hope that helps and happy building!
National code stipulates 6 inches clearance for any combustible material from the firebox. So, I’m not sure it’s to code 🤔
@@WoodshopMike I ended up just following the installation manual for the fireplace. Cross our fingers lol!
Hi, what's the depth of this from the wall?
This one is 5-1/2" from the wall. It can be deeper, but it would then also need to be higher per code.
It is a shame that we never get to see the finished surround.
Ugh I know! For these kinds of projects it's difficult navigating that because for my client I'm there to do a job and sometimes they aren't comfortable with me even filming just the install. I haven't even seen finished pictures of it painted.
I don’t have a jointer or router table. Sucks too bad
Those tools definitely make the project easier, but you can still build this without em' 👍. Thanks for watching, cheers!
What depth is the surround?
it is 6" deep.
