I’m glad my kids like to help out. It’s a great learning experience for everyone. They learn how to work and do things and I learn patience haha

I saw this video a year ago and did our half bath room and it went great! The wife loves it so much that we are now doing a full bath in this style. Thanks so much for posting this!

The wall looks really good. Big thumbs up for having patience with the kiddos. 😬 This is an awesome opportunity for them to learn.

Most informative. Watched without skipping to the very end. Thanks. Loved that the boys helped.

Looks great Matt. You all did a good job !

The ending was the best part. Instantly subbed. Most people get annoyed, and refuse to show the kids that are a huge part of their life. Embracing the chaos is the best, and most beautifully genuine to be. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic, because this is exactly what I thought of doing on my kitchen ceiling, along with some faux exposed rafters!

Thanks for sharing all those steps, Matt! The new wall looks really great! I love these type of channels where you teach others how to do a project step-by-step! 🔨🚪🛠👍😎

love it!!!

Nice job and thanks for the video. If you're going to paint over the woodgrain, then you might as well use something even cheaper like 1/4" MDF. You'll get the same look. It's a little lighter and easier to handle and it's cheaper.

Excellent job, Matt!!! Love Love Love that wall!!! ❤

good job. Nice helpers

nice job. You can also make diy shiplap by using pressure treated 4" wide fence planks from home depot at 1.19 a piece for a 6 ft board. Let them sit outside a couple weeks and then they can be painted or stained, and you only have to cut them once each with a chopsaw (much safer than tablesaw) to length you want. It's a thicker "barnwood" style shiplap

Just came along your videos! Excellent work! I have a 3 year old son and love to see that you have your children help. Your children will remember this the rest of their lives.I’m wondering why you when for paint over a stain. Was is the kind of wood you used in this project?

Matt I was just watching Ellie and Jared and omg I love the earrings you made how can I buy those

Yes he is. However his installation doesn't overlap, is simply butts up edge to edge leaving the rabbet exposed to simulate a joint. That is not shiplap. Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome, it just isn't true shiplap.

Hi love this, did you use a particular paint? Also what was the wall dimensions, trying to get an idea of the materials needed to complete a wall that I just enclosed. Thanks in advance for the info

Good job. Question, did you cover up the gaps between the long boards and the shorter ones like you did with the nail holes? If so how did it come out after painting. I was thinking of doing the same to give it one long board instead of multiple.

Glad to see a man who’s not afraid to work without push sticks. I’m surprised how many “fearful” comments you received about that.

Interesting.

When paining with the roller, was there a reason you didn’t choose a full size roller? It seems you used a smaller foam option. Thanks

Totally unfair to other YT creators who don't have the cute help you have!

Subscribed to your beautiful channel 😊

Do you a pre order on Amazon for some new fingers? Seems you don’t mind getting them cut off

Great end result & look. Excellent idea to cut in the 1/8" horizontal groves rather than wasting time in gapping each board (little extra time on the table saw saved install time). My only question...with the planks now butted together have you experienced any deforming due to expansion/contraction due to change in ambient conditions. Also, what would you change if you did it again.

@mechammatt

7 жыл бұрын

+Robert Wadlington I haven't noticed any deforming at all. I don't think I would change anything if I did it again.

Give it a thumbs up...while you can...before you cut your thumb off on your table saw. Yikes! Regardless, thanks for this video and great idea to save some money.

What is the 1/8 in groove for? Tank you.

May I know the paint color and brand? It looks great

Looks great! Next time your cutting the groove/rabbet on an edge, try putting the fence close to the blade - it's a bit safer that way. :)

Great video... Question: Would it have been easier to PAINT the shiplap fist before putting it up on the wall?

Nice job, but best part of this video is the cute baby at the end. 😂😊

I didn’t see where or how you did the grooves. Do you need to even rabbit or put grooves in?

This is an interesting technique if you want to learn how to file your nails with a table saw while ripping plywood.

Can i ask why didnt you just do a 5" instead of 5-5/8 ? Just curious im going to attempt my dining room just one wall

Do you know if Home Depot would cut them for me?

to each his own but i love stained wood

You should put plastic extenders for your electric box so you don’t have exposed wood beside your screws on your outlet. You never know if it would spark and ignite the wood. Most places it’s code. 👍🏻

What color is on the other walls?

If you get underlayment the wood is beautiful and smooth on one side and its less than 14 dollars a sheet. No marks and no sanding needed. No knot holes either.

Great job ! ... So you cut a groove into the boards then rest them against each other with out use spacers between each.... correct ?? We done this same idea for the floors in our farmhouse bathroom but we used Dimes to create a space =) everyone loves them ...

Matt, Thanks for the video. Very informative but i have to agree with several of the commentators in that you need to be far more careful working around the table saw. The table saw is considered the heart of the woodworker's shop but it's also considered the most dangerous tool in the shop. Just a bit of constructive criticism to hopefully save your hands and fingers.

what blade do you use for your table saw for these?? Your work is always so awesome!!! Jack of all trades!

Matt Mecham I wish I would’ve grown up with women working with wood. It seems like I never saw females doing much woodwork unless it was to paint. Especially as a kid I’d always be playing outside while my dad would be outside in front of his huge building setting wood up and measuring it. I do remember I did love to watch him w his tape measures and pencils marking wood. Then he’d say go stand over there so u will be safe because saw dust might fly in ur eyes... then I’d hear that ever so loud and disturbing skill saw when he started sawing the wood. Now I think about it I’m sure that sound is what prevented me from wanting to learn any woodwork skills. Plus, back then all I ever saw were hammers for nailing wood and that seemed like too much work when I was a kid. I didn’t see a electric nail gun until I was like 20 years old and that still didn’t give me any desire to work w that thing either. But I’ve always had a huge desire of taking old houses and restoring them and also furniture. Then 10 years I found addicted to rehab and was hooked. Then as I watched that small petite girl refinish that wood in those houses and that’s all it took for me to realize how much I loved working w wood...I guess that’s why I loved watching my dad but the saw, hammer and nails kept me from seeing my interest. Now I see meet other females my age that work w wood as hobby all the time. I still don’t saw wood but I do love to sand it. I couldn’t have ever imagined seeing me or any other girls saying we wanted to take Woodshop instead of home economics back then in high school. We would have been laughed at and it just goes to show how much we can be under so many influences with the school systems and it’s not because of peer pressure but the pressure of the system in general.

What grit of sandpaper did you use?

Hi Matt! I'm not familiar with Shiplap. Is it just an alternative covering, or does is serve a specific purpose? Also, I noticed you didn't use anything on the wood--such as a primer. Will the paint hold up? It looks gorgeous and I really would love to tear out this PANELING (no joke) from my mother in laws house that we live in since she's passed away. Maybe I can convince my hubby to watch your video and give it a shot! Thanks for a great video, congratulations on your channel!!

Great job. Be careful with your metal tape measure next to the HOT screws on the outlet.

Thanks for the vid. I'm confused on the grooving process though. Shouldnt the shiplap have an opposite grove on each side of the board? Otherwise how does the wood stay flush as you move up the wall? www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/1000/53/53748401-e5a8-4f0b-b613-96af724aa6f5_1000.jpg

The groove is just there to help it look like shiplap. The boards stay flush because they are nailed onto the wall at the studs. If you think the opposite side groove is needed you would just need to flip the board over and add the groove. Making sure you cut deep enough that the boards lay flat. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I am critiquing now, I liked your idea but; 1. I think dark gray took away from ship lap. 2. Do yo think if you cut 30-45 degree bevel if it would have same affect.. 3. I agree with others, be more cautious.. 4. Buy a longer level::)

thumbs up,,,,while you still can!!! i cringed seeing you put your grappers that close to a table saw blade. Nice video on how to make shiplap!!

looks like an accident waiting to happen. do not rip boards in this manner!

Holy F*#K I thought I was gonna see some blood and the loss of at least 1 finger for sure

Are you supposed to put a nickel between each board to make it look more like shiplap? I have no idea if that is a good idea or not... it seems like I have seen that done somewhere... LOL
