Looks awesome to me, man. You made it look super easy. I'm going to try something similar in my house soon. This is exactly what I was looking for. Well done!
Thanks bill, wife wants this or Stone in the master, so I figured I'd get a jump on what the project will look like. Nice job and great vid, subscribed! Cheers from Colorado!
How easily does it hold up to scrapes? For example, if you stabbed it with a knife would it be super noticeable? I'm trying to figure out if this would work as a macaw proof wall if for any reason they try to get at it.
Im about to do this on 2 walls in my coming "mancave". What I figured for fastening, was adhesive + small screws or a nailgun. But, I was thinking of screw/nailing (no, not like that) in the joint section between the boards to hide screw/nails. Maybe its too weak... Anyways, awsome job. Im looking forward starting mine :)
Will it work with just silicone or adhesive? I have a cement wall that I would love to do this but nails wont work on cement walls and I dont want to screw the laminate. Unless it is to hang stuff
I’m going to do this to wrap the frame on the fish tank stand I built in my garage. Also when I searched “bills how to” I couldn’t find it. Perhaps add that to the title of your videos which might help with people finding your videos
Hi Bill, Love your videos!! Quick Qn: How did you hide the protruding brad nails heads ? I can see them in the video that they are not recessed. Cheers
Hi, the nails are flush with the floor panels. I have purposely left them exposed to give a rustic look with the floor boards. If you wanted to hide them you would have to either set the brad nail gun to to sink the nails in further or if you don’t have a dead nail gun then use a center punch ( which would take a long time ). Then fill the holes with a colored wood filler .
Why not shoot the brads into the tongue rather than through the face of your laminate ? It may "look good" from a distance but close up is a different story. You'll see every one of those brad ends.
You can purchase vinyl planks with an adhesive side to it so just peel and stick, it is more expensive though. Or you can glue the timber planks to the wall
Honestly I have never used an electric caulk gun. I like using the manual version. I think the electric one would only be good for large sealant applications like expansion joints ect...
@@billshowto Thank you! If I use an all-around construction glue rather than silicone, would it be better? or silicone would be best because I can do caulking on the sides of the wall as I finish?
If you ever wanted to remove the flooring off the walls the silicone will be a lot better. The construction adhesive will do a lot of damage to the walls
"Not supposed to cut toward ones-self".....yet does that...and more so....toward the jewels....not too smart, mate. Also ...if you have a nice nail gun like that...I would have nailed the male ( hidden) tongue portion ( that fits into the neighboring female part of the next panel and the nail head is therefore hidden).... not the actual surface !!.......
@@big1923 no. Not at all, but people watch these channels for inspiration and instruction. A shoddy job doesn't help anyone. I would be embarrassed to post this video.
This is so painful to watch. 2 minutes explaining how to take decorations off the wall. 5 minutes before putting the first piece on, 8 minutes for the first row
