Really nice job. That's a long miter to get right. Its easy to forget checking for level when worrying about glue up and clamping. I recently glued, clamped and screwed a few gable end brackets up and forgot to put a square on them. Off about 1/8th. Had to play with them but got it fixed. Showing your imperfections and process of correction is what makes the best content. Cheers.

Thank you Ben. I'm encouraged by your comment and agree with what you said about showing imperfections. There are a couple of really advanced furniture makers I follow; and I appreciate that they show their mistakes and how they fix them. I think it adds a lot of credibility. We are all human!

This is how I would have done it: First get all excited about the job, then build a 3 sided, 13' mantel in the shop then try to install it and realize what a dopey idea. Cut it up into 18" pieces and toss it in the stove and start over!

Hahahaha. Thanks Jay. You made my morning. I was in the shop getting ready for the day and this popped up on my phone. I literally laughed out loud when I read this! I've burned a few mistakes in my day. (Hides the evidence.)

Great video. Thanks for making it! FYI, according to Festool you aren't supposed to tightly butt tracks together when joining them. The rationale is they don't guarantee the ends are perfectly square to the body of the track so they suggest leaving a slight gap.

I will try that next time. I routinely give it "the eye-ball" once I connect them. Thanks for the information and the comment. Cheers Scott

Hi Scott as always top notch carpentry! I did an 8’ solid Redwood mantle from a 14” wide x 11” face. The wall was out and the timber was somewhat bowed! That was fun! I did special made pins set in epoxy! I got it within an 8th? And the customer who did not want me fooling with the walls or wood (I did scribe it best I could) was just joyous I got it that close after the last guy quit ( I think it was a handy man). Yours was even more of a huge challenge! I run a Makita Track Saw both battery and corded! Batteries must be charged and good blade to cut hard woods ! My corded cuts thru anything!

As usual thanks for the supportive comment. You can't beat corded tools. They never fail you, run out of battery life, or go out of style. I love these complex jobs AFTER they're done. Not so much during the build when things get complicated. Cheers!
