Thanks, It's a manifold and I'm going to do a video on it soon because there's a lot of interest in it so if you haven't subscribed yet, you should so you don't miss it! ;)
Oh, I subscribed after the very first time I watched one of your videos just the other day! Quality build work and video production! I'm also gonna get started very soon so you're helping me. Thanks for sharing.
loved your video! My mantel looks very similar to yours. I removed the dark stain on my barn beam mantel- used a metal brush on my drill, Dremel, chisels, hatchet, sanders and lots of elbow grease. finished it with several coats of polyurethane. definitely a good workout: cleaning up 50 yr old red oak lumber using metal brush and drywall hand sander with 60 grit
Thanks for the inspiration I have to make a mantle for my house. I have owned it for 8 years and need something else. Just gotta find some suitable wood now. Thanks for putting the ending on. Were all glad you got that on video too
New sub here. Great videos, very nice builds. If that were me pulling on that board?, well, let's just say I'm sure some body part would have cushioned that fall! Glad it missed, er, everything.
very cool Reminds me of a restoration we once did - customer wanted a Mantle and my dad had save a piece of one of these massive beams we had taken out of the building. That restoration was my dad's OPUS - this building was - god - easily 200 years old. It was on our Lake and it was the Pump House. So it housed these MASSIVE furnaces and turbines to pump the water up into town. It was not a habitable structure, not even close! I remember digging holes in the dirt and soot floor for footers and posts to tie in the floor joists and beams thinking this is insane!! It was something no one - except the client , and my father of course - thought could even be turned into a workable storage space - let alone a habitable space. 56 feet to the peak in one section ( the ultimate man cave). We had a couple rockers back out on us on that job. HAHA sry - It was my fathers Last Project he got real sick during the last phase (2nd year of it) he was able to see it to completion. There was a concrete stone in the entry way that had the dates of the original pump house and its engineer. The client had someone sandblast the date of the new restored bldg and my fathers name and company and a big party to "unveil" that. Great moment. Great Video
Just Amazing and Beautiful Ryan... So interesting and very creative... Super like👌👌👌 Thanks for sharing Do keep posting👌🆕 Warm regards and Best wishes The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
WHOA! Great build. If you could, please explain how you shimmed and secured the wood mantle to the original stone mantel. Thanks is advance. Be well! -Nick
Thanks! I used a few 1" blocks in different spots then drove some pretty long screws angled forward so the mantle won't slide forward. Hope that helps!!!
Great looking job, I've often wondered if their where still trades people out their that could do quality work ! For them self by them self. Look at the job, engineer the job give client price, get the job, figure out to make it all happen and install. All of this is a fete by it self.
Nice video, about to do one myself...I could probably google it but I'm already here so I thought I'd ask...do you have link for what you used to find nails in wood? Nice job, great man cave!lol
Hey Ryan great build I subbed to your channel. Quick question how come you didn't 45 the edge cuts to make it look like on big beam? Just wondering looks great.
Thanks so much! I went with butt joints over miters simply because the way the room is laid out you will rarely, if ever, see the mantle from the side so it wouldn't matter. I'm building another, much longer mantle soon and sill be mitering the corners so stay tuned!!!
For the ends I have sometimes used the ends of a piece of a log or firewood that is the large enough and sliced to 3/4 inch thick. Just square it up to size and make the miters on all edges and you have end-grain on your beam, Very realistic, They look like solid wood. REPLY
I recommend using splines Some cracking in the end grain actually looks good and you can blend it to the mantle by stressing where they meet the sides by making some grooves with a utility knife and blending them in.
Really hope you get the chance to upload more often. Although a watch alot of different woodworking-channels, you, Jimmy Diresta and Mathias Wandel is the only ones I've actually subscribed to. You're up there, man! Keep it up!
So I was traveling for a while and just saw this and I have to say it's probably the nicest comment I've ever received!!! Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm preparing to post more but want to make sure the content is up to par instead of just posting as much as possible and now that summer is over I have a lot more time to devote to content so hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more. Thanks again, honestly it means a lot
It's a pretty normal single stage Jet DC but I run everything thru a dust manifold that I'll be highlighting in an upcoming shop tour video so stay tuned!!!
"this is the annoying part , i cant stand loading and unloading lumber but i gotta do it" goes and gets forklift. awwww poor guy , had to load and unload all that lumber . lol what a thing to say, try dismantling 1200Lf of hand hewn dove tail white oak logs 25' long and then loading those suckers on a car hauler trailer by hand and solo.
Oh come on, its a piece of oldish wood?. Our house is 411 years old. Circa 1608, while Bill Shakespeare was still writing. We have 2 door lintels that are from pre-used timbers with mortices, pegs, etc, that pre-date the property by at least a hundred years. UK. Mamma Mia.
So is there a reason as to why you didn't miter all the edges and corners??? It is so obvious that it is not a solid piece when you look at anything but the front because you can see the end grain of the pieces. I guess I'm just thinking that you spent so much time and effort and money on the nice wood and technique getting it to look old and distressed and like it came from an actual old barn beam but you didn't spend any time making it look like it was actually a solid single piece beam.
The vacuum hose system is unique; I've never seen that setup before! Totally cool.

Mantle looks great Ryan, really like your video's, keep them coming bud! Good job
Thanks!!!

Nice, that sounds exhausting!!!
Your mantle is how I want my structural beam cover to look. I want the old barn beam look without having to find an old barn beam!
Thanks for the inspiration I have to make a mantle for my house. I have owned it for 8 years and need something else. Just gotta find some suitable wood now. Thanks for putting the ending on. Were all glad you got that on video too
Shanna Bolser Ha! Thanks!!!
That was a fast reply, I am still watching your videos
Shanna Bolser Nice!!!

Randy Oreilly that means a lot! Thanks so much!!!

IronWood Outfit? More like great RUclips who's probably really cool!
I got to love the forklift skills man.
HA! Thanks man!
QUE CHINGONSISISMO DETALLE ......FELICIDADES !!!!
Just subscribed. Please consider doing more videos on your shop setup such as your innovative dust collection system.
OH !!! amazing !!!
Thanks!!!
very cool

Great Video
Looks good man, keep up the good work
Thanks so much!!!
That's some solid wood. Came from tree's that were able to mature fully.
Exactly, the old growth stuff is amazing!!!
Man, that ending, makes me feel like I'm not the only one lol
Just Amazing and Beautiful Ryan...
So interesting and very creative...

woodprix is nice for that.
That is OK
Haha...I subscribed when you fell on your a$$! You've got a nice setup! Solid work.
“We’re okay...” 😂😂😂
nice one ryan
Thanks!
You're awesome Ryan!!! Loved watching your video! Thanks for a few good laughs.
Carrie, you're the best!!!

WOW .. Aaron Franklin refinishes
old beams too??? shoot .. thought he just had the best BBQ joint in Texas!!!
What did you put on at the end to bring out the shine? Also how many coats of everything did you put on? Looks wonderful. Great Job for sure!
Can you tell me more about the casters of your outfield table, I think thats exactly what I need for the one I'm planing on building
They're Rockler casters and I added a length of angle iron so they engage both at a time. Really simple but well worth it!
Great looking job, I've often wondered if their where still trades people out their that could do quality work ! For them self by them self. Look at the job, engineer the job give client price, get the job, figure out to make it all happen and install. All of this is a fete by it self.
Thanks so much!!! ust replied to your other comment also, thank you for the kind words, it means a lot!
Nice video, about to do one myself...I could probably google it but I'm already here so I thought I'd ask...do you have link for what you used to find nails in wood? Nice job, great man cave!lol
how2q Sorry for the late response but I don’t have a link right now but can find the one I have and send it to you if you still need it
Were you happy with those cut-outs on the bottom? Other than them being a mile bigger than the stones you were going around, the rest looked great!
Ha! They're actually pretty great. It might be hard to see on the video but it's less than a 1/2" gap on either side...
Hey Ryan great build I subbed to your channel. Quick question how come you didn't 45 the edge cuts to make it look like on big beam? Just wondering looks great.

Why didn't you do a beveled cut on the long boards and a 3 sided 45 miter cut on the end caps???
I bet your wife is a good teacher
MAKE THIS FOR ME SOMEWHERE!!! Or something like that.
For the ends I have sometimes used the ends of a piece of a log or firewood that is the large enough and sliced to 3/4 inch thick. Just square it up to size and make the miters on all edges and you have end-grain on your beam, Very realistic, They look like solid wood.
REPLY
That's a great idea, I'll have to try that! Thanks!!!
I recommend using splines Some cracking in the end grain actually looks good and you can blend it to the mantle by stressing where they meet the sides by making some grooves with a utility knife and blending them in.
Nice idea!
I also use this technique for phony log ends in doorways and outdoor phony log siding. A few sunken finishing nails or torque screws may be helpful.
Can you explain more,about wat you doing.
Really hope you get the chance to upload more often.

I'm wanting to do this exact project on a stone fireplace in Orosi which is right next to Dinuba. How much would you charge for a project like this?
What kind of vac system do you have for your shop? Enjoyed this video.
It's a pretty normal single stage Jet DC but I run everything thru a dust manifold that I'll be highlighting in an upcoming shop tour video so stay tuned!!!
What kind of Danish Oil did you use? "Natural" color? -thanks!
Yep, the natural look is by far my favorite!
Could you tell me what jigsaw you were using? Thank you
Dewalts 20V
As for the ending, why didn't you just lower the "forks"?
"this is the annoying part , i cant stand loading and unloading lumber but i gotta do it"
goes and gets forklift.
awwww poor guy , had to load and unload all that lumber . lol what a thing to say,
try dismantling 1200Lf of hand hewn dove tail white oak logs 25' long and then loading those suckers on a car hauler trailer by hand and solo.
matt m I have...that’s why I bought a forklift!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
So Danish oil is all you used?
Yep, I love the little bit of protection it adds while still looking clean and natural
Ryan Penir awesome thanks!
