    Got to hand it to you, Richard, that's the coolest fireplace mantle I've ever seen! I'm an architecture buff and I've been to Greece and stood in front of the Parthenon and many other structures. You have faithfully re-created the architecture it in your living room. I'm sure you're proud of this one, as well you should be! Congratulations! Thanks also for the explanations along the way during the build.

    That is definitely a top 0.0001% mantle, especially for the DFW area. A masterpiece!! Must be making Brent proud to work with you!

    Richard, I've been following your channel for at least half-dozen years. THIS is definitely the pinnacle of the channel. Now all you need to do is install a few windows, fill-in the nail holes, and paint. Great job my friend! Hoo Rah!

    I've been in houses from 50k to 6.7m and i've never seen a fireplace this nice. Plenty of people who want to throw tacky amount of marble. This is elevated and was enjoyable to watch.

    Richard isn't just any old trim carpenter, he's an artist.

    From a retired trim carpenter, I am blown away with this project. A lot of head scratching but well worth the lost sleep. Well done.
  • @detroitdiy
    I have followed along for this entire build. You Richard are an incredible craftsman. A true inspiration to the craft that many have left behind. Thank you for sharing this project with us. Nothing is more satisfying than sitting in your chair with a cold one saying to yourself "I did that"
  • @jacobdaniels8332
    Amazing! You're the only person on YouTube who is doing trim on this level. What a great series!
  • @greggcoulter6008
    No need to worry about talking to much about it or moving on, we hear your enthusiasm and know you put your heart into it. Everything looks spectacular! Please remember to show us after it’s painted as well. You really did a great job with this and rightfully so should be proud.
  • @shawnfoos7844
    I’ve watched you for years and learned so much. That mantle is incredible. You’ve worked for many years to perfect your profession, and it shows congrats!

    Richard I am in awe of what you did to that bare wall. My words don’t do it anywhere near the justice it merits. It is breathtaking to me. Take a bow sir!!! You did it!!!
  • @Robertb00
    You will never watch the tv again just spend hours staring at your masterpiece
  • @karsonsetzer
    Richard, I’ve been following your carpentry journey for a long time. This is by far the greatest carpentry project I have seen anyone document. Keep up the passion for craft!
  • @mikeinmaryland
    Home Depot has these in aisle 31! 😂 Really nice Richard, way to stay focused on scale. Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • @bigal9078
    By far the best fireplace mantel/ surround I have ever seen. Great work, true professional
  • @winnerzee
    Just amazing this is it… congratulations 👍
  • @chrispugh75
    Richard, that's the most elegant wood working I've seen ! Be proud of your talent, God has blessed you with! That is just stunning!
  • @andrewbrown954
    Well done sir. The integrity that you and Brent bring to the craft is admirable.

    This project and the video format are perfect. It’s almost like watching New Yankee Workshop. You covered everything in enough detail to give me the confidence to attempt this project without going too deep. The collaboration with Brent Hull has really lifted your channel to the next level. I would love to see more video just like this. Brent’s “how to” videos always leave me wanting more, but his discussion videos are detail overload. The two of you make a great team and compliment each other very well.
  • @dansmith99612
    I have very little interest in trim carpentry but I keep watching every video you make. I think it is your dedication and pride for your craft that makes it interesting to watch.
