So impressive. Using SketchUp template, pattern boards, biscuit joints for alignment and moving electrical box. We can all learn so much from Spencer.

Great job Mr. Lewis.You are a real pro and it's been awesome watching your channel and learning so much even as a ret. carp..You are a real craftsman and the sky's the limit for you .Stay safe.Ty.

Spencer, I am a DIY’er and love your Chanel. Your detailed explanation is the best I’ve seen and your projects are amazingly precise.

It's a pleasure watching you work.

I have done a similar job, once you get the first piece you can just work the corners and mark the others that join.. I always learn a couple tricks from your vids, keep up the good work!

That is one of the best instructional videos I've seen I love the detail descriptions

Great video. This is the first time I have ever since pinch dogs used outside of my trade. I am a journeyman patternmaker and pinch dogs are a must in every patternmakers tool box. I have pinch dogs that are over 75 years old.

I just love how you make things look so easy another great video thank you great tips on measuring too 👍👍👍👍

Great work! I always learning something when watching your videos and I appreciate the insight into making the job site more efficient. Thanks for producing such great content.

I love how detailed you are !

great flow on this video, glad you did the voice over narration

Excellent work and breakdown of the job

Nice work man. Thanks for the insight of how to do carpentry.

Wow incredible. You make it look easy. Wish I was this skilled.

Thanks Spencer. I like that you address keeping the joints closed. I see so many others just butt and glue and always thought those joints would show up later...

3rd Video I watched! Amazing skill & talent you have! I’m a Journeyman Carpenter & man I suck! Lol! I’m learning from your videos! Thanks for your patience & I gotta say it, you are the best Carpenter I’ve seen by far! Subbed for Life! 🔥🔥👊👍

As always excellent work . Thanks for sharing

Great video and the wall looks great.

I like how you tackle precision.

Nice to see you make an accent wall look good & easy 🧐😄

You are very talented, I wish we could have seen it finished with paint.

Your work is incredibly well done

Clever use of pattern boards for angles. Trying to figure out if you could have used a jig to avoid having to swing the saw around. So easy to put the wrong angle on a board! Thanks for the video.

Nice work on moving the electrical, the electrician will surely appreciate it.

You make it look so easy!

that's a professional job... nice and clean

Very very nice tutorial. Thank you I am going to attempt this project at my sister's house.

Sketch up rules! I use mine all the time. Takes out 95% of the guessing when you are onsite. That's a killer accent wall looks great.

I use an app called right angle. You can work out any triangle, I end up using it quite a lot. It gives area too so good for working out quantities for cladding/drywall

The low ceiling made this one extra specially profitable nice work pal

I love to learn the different techniques and tricks you use in your videos, enrich my knowledge and capabilities. Thanks bro. For a job like that, would be good to use a Carpenter calculator, like Contruction Master , or some other. Thanks again.

I dont care what they say about you Spence you're a good man

My wife will be thrilled you posted this 😅

Nice clean job !

Great work. 🙏

*Welcome back*

I’m getting that Makita. That thing is cool.

I’m surprised you don’t use the festool domino! I bought one for trim a year ago and I wish I would have bought one sooner it’s amazing!

Let the painting begin!

It’s like Florida vibes for sure

That's the best chalk line I've ever used man. The small line is great for interior walls, you don't get chalk all over the place and a big fat chalk line. Retying that knot the first time it broke was tricky though, I wish I would've looked at how it was tied originally. But the pinpoint tip is the extra hand, for the solo man.

Yer one a them smart fellers...un huh. Nice breakdown

I enjoy all of your videos. Always have been a wannabe carpenter. I noticed that the saw dust chute at the front of the blade on your 780 is missing. They are destroyed when one experiences kick back [ask me how I know]. And yours? Please continue with your superior videos.

Good idea

that looks great I think the only difference between my work and yours I use more caulk

Love watching these videos. I make pattern boards for step-treads left and right then pull the difference with a scribe left and right. You do good work. I can’t figure out sketch up so I just do the math on the wall with a level and tape but I’m 37 and that’s long hand compared to this method that makes you more money per hr your way. I’d like to bend your ear sometime if you’re willing.

Nice work

Would like to see this painted/finished

Awesome

Hello Spencer I've enjoyed your videos for some time now I pulled the trigger on that chalk line and was wondering am I missing something I there on board storage for the metal end when you have the pin 📌 on? Such a great product but I will loose it for sure. Ideas 💡.

@1:05 Dang. I forgot that you can use a adapter for DeWalt battery with Makita tools. You even had a video on it before. I should have picked up the cordless Makita over the corded DeWalt one. Live and Learn I guess. Nice work on the accent wall! And PRB for the win!

Thanks

I think you should have showed us the mid after it was painted! 😁 I know your jus the carpenter, but the end result I know turned out awesome

Great video, I like to seal the back of my decretive trim work so it’s not raw wood touching the drywall. Iv noticed on some of my projects like this. That once the wood is acclimated to the moisture in the room. It still tends to to acclimate moor when attached to the wall. If there is a shower or sink in that room the moisture in the air can cause the wood to shrink and swell. So I like to seal both sides. Great video and work 😎👍🏻

Did I miss the discussion about the biscuit joiner?

"Jig" is a word you could use for your template board.

Cool

Very nice use of your pattern reference board, a.k.a. the money maker... The only thing I see that you should’ve done to be totally pro and not to tick off the taper was to screw a piece of 1x in the old outlet hole hiding the screws behind your design and screw the piece of sheet rock you cut out for the new outlet hole into the old outlet hole

Nice work, great tips! The only thing that competes with the pinch dogs in this application is the lamello zeta using the tenso fittings. Obviously way more expensive with the cost of the machine + consumables.

I like the pinch dogs too dog

Do a video on how you used sketch up to design this wall. Thanks.

love this wall but I dont want to use the joiner what if we use wood that isn't as thick and just use the brad nailer?

💪

What kind of blade is on your saw? Great work as always. Beyond great really. There's not any room for improvement. So best work. 👌

Nice work. I feel like it needs a top board to match the base tho.. Just my opinion..

What software do you use to find your angles and draw up patterns for your wall?

did you paint it the same colour on the wall are left it that way thanks

Can you do a quick video on using Sketchup for this or another project? I've never used it, but would like to learn.

Can you tell us how you connect your dust hood to your vacuum? Do you use a reducer? Thanks for the great content

Ideally, one would patch the drywall before installing the trim.

Do you use paid version of sketch up to get the angles?

Hey great video as always. Can tell us how long this entire process took?

Like it

Cool little video as always👍 how long that take u to complete??

What is the material you are working with?

I wish you lived in my city - I would hire you in a heartbeat. I am in the process of having a garage suite built and have been watching your videos for 6 months or so now. It took 4 guys a day and a half to hang 7 doors and case the windows and doors in a 575 sq. ft. suite above a garage and I am left with a lot of sanding and filling to do, and drywall repair everywhere for the nicks and even some PL dried on the walls. Low production and low quality. I hope more finish carpenters watch your videos and learn all they can from you!

Was that a dewalt battery in a makita biscuiter?

Do most lumber yards carry biscuits?

Can pocket screws be used here as well?

I do these all the time and NEVER use buscuits I use pockethole joinery. Never had a client in 15 years complain about anything coming apart.

Spencer y u not just a border around the wall 👀👍

I like your work. But i would have gone with a bigger base & a border all around the 3 sides would have made it pop out more and put the top piece smaller so after installing a crown the top & bigger would look like a door.

What multi tool did you use

do you get paid extra for moving receptacles?

Do you think incorporating the electrical box into the wood path is a better way to flex your skill?

Hey Spencer again I wanna give a shout out here from Seattle Washington I love your videos man and what another brilliant video so my question is do you know I’m looking at this absolutely awesome accent wall and I’m like you know in my mind I’m like you know what I am feeling kind of bossy so I’m telling myself you know I think I can do that you know Ha Ha Ha LOL do you know how to myself I’m thinking yeah I can do that you know I can do it Spencer ya right lol u the the trim Zen master but in reality I know it’ll take me a long time to get to that but I think I can do it but my question is how did you enter cross right there in the middle where were there you got that crossing intersection ofMaterial how did you get it to flow like that what do you do did you do the overlapping did you and I’m not sure did you completely have a an angle cut with a D 45 or 22° whatever movie did you cut and if you did how did you figure out the degree to cut that on your miter saw so it was tight and real tight because it looks real tight from here anyways love it love the video love love what you do keep it up again shout out from Seattle here Washington and let me know what your last golf score was if you if you feel comfortable with releasing that information LOL all jokes aside great video can’t wait for the next one

💯👍👍

I looked at sketchup. But never really used it. This is the first time I've heard of carpenters using it for assisting in projects. How is this done ?

How long did it take you start to finish?

What kind of pencil was that at 2:22?

Ever consider pocket screws instead of biscuits? No need for pinch dogs and holds up as well as a nice cabinet face frame

Very cool, but I don't have and don't want to learn Sketchup for one project. How did they do it before computers? They did it! I suspect they drew or snapped lines on the wall and used geometry.

So, how much time did this actually take? I'm yet to learn sketchup so it feels a bit ominous adding the time for it into my job bids. Seems like the actual wall work is pretty quick after doing the sketchup though?

Spencer just out of interest , if you’d used sketchup for the lengths rather than site measures how far off were they ?

What is the name of the software you used to generate the angle?

Where is the finale result?

May i have wood dimensions and type of wood please?

Is that popular timber?

Here in Montreal I have never seen plastic electrical box, only metal. It is very convenient for an easy removal without damaging more drywall I guess.
