This week we build a DIY wood slat wall! This video is focused on the detailed breakdown of the project and includes step by step instructions so you can build it yourself! This project was a ton of fun and one of my favorite projects to date! It is not as daunting as it looks, and with some patience, anyone can tackle this DIY project. The wall is built with oak slats that we ripped down on the table saw and I used MDF sheets as a backerboard for the black paint. I hope you enjoy the video!

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!

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!

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.

My favorite video so far, love the look of this
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
Thanks for sharing. Putting an MDF under the slats is a brilliant idea that makes nailing much easier.

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.

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.

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).
@GoldenKeyDesign

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

Gorgeous! Wouldn't it be easier and maybe save time to presand and stain your boards prior to cutting boards down? Then finish off by sanding and staining board sides prior to nailing on wall? Have very limited experience with woodworking but sure do enjoy watching others. Very satisfying to watch.

Congrats Man, .. here in Brazil we make the slat wall in different way, we make slat wall panels that connect to one another part, .. but in your case, we should use 3 slat wall panels, .. and to install on the wall, we take about one day

Im going to do something similar. I want a wood look back so I will have to buy a decent wood panel to mount it to that can be stained. However, not sure what I will do for the strips yet. I was getting caught up in widths but I have seen expensive ones that had varied widths and depths. Having said that, if I was you I *might* have split those boards in half and used both sides to save some money on the slats. Great video tho.
Great job sir!

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.

After a lifetime of living like that utilize checklist for everything at home Your checklist is missing items. The last thing that I want to do is stop and start your video to make a checklist of materials and dimensions. Also, all tools needed plus hardware I see this with a lot of your videos.
