Alright, this mess of Lego here is actually going to be a fancy bricked fireplace with a wooden mantel.
Now one of the places you want to start with first is a base.
I already got a base in the house but we're going to make a whole new one to show you how to do this
and I'll take that other one out.
So one of the things that I'm going to do
is show you what kind of pieces we going to need here.
Of course you're going to need one of these grey 2 by 6 plates.
A ton of these eyelets. I don't know how many are here.
Let's see there's four,
five, six
seven,
eight, nine,
ten, eleven,
twelve, thirteen. There's fourteen of those eyelets.
Okay the grey ones.
We're also going to need four small red tiles.
1 by 1 tiles. We also need a 1 by 4 smooth red tile.
A couple of these 1 by 2 smooth tiles
and a 1 by 6 red tile.
Also you need one of these 2 by 2 grey tiles for inside the fireplace.
Four of these 1 by 1 brown stud pieces.
All right and then we're going to need two of these eyelets that are brown.
A couple of sloped pieces.
Two of these 1 by 2 plates.
One 1 by 6 brown.
One 1 by 6 brown plate.
A 2 by 6 brown plate.
And a 1 by 6 grey piece.
So where do we start at? We start right here.
We're going to put this right here.
So it kind of looks like that.
Now we're going to take some eyelets and start placing these in place.
All along the front. This is going to be the hearth of the fireplace.
Start putting these here.
Something like that.
Now you are going to come in and we're going to take some tiles.
Some of these 1 by 2 reds. We're going to face it with the tiles here.
So it kind of looks like a brick.
Now the next thing we're going to do. We're going to come and start building the actual mantel of the fireplace.
We'll take some of these 1 by 2 red pieces plates.
Place them as so,
and put one of these 1 by 6 red tiles on here.
Now you got yourself a nice mantel. Nice and smooth. Everything is nice and sound.
Okay.
Now this is where the detail is going to come in.
We're going to start off with one of these 1 by 1 browns, both sides.
Now, you're going to come in, you're going you to need to take four these and tile them with one of these 1 by 1 reds.
So it looks something like this.
Well let's go ahead and let's start tiling all these now.
Make sure all of these all on here squared.
No if you just note if you actually have dark red tiles, it would probably look more better.
I only have is the light reds so it's just the idea.
To give you guys an idea what we're doing here ... well what I'm doing here actually.
Let's see here.
After you get those tiled, just start putting them in here like this.
Now we're starting to look like something.
And we repeat the process again.
Since these are really small peg pieces, I gotta try to keep them lined up or it's not going to look too good.
So it's going to look something like that. So let's get this last one put on here.
Something like that.
Let's build the top of the fireplace.
So we're going to take some of these and we're going to put them behind this red tile.
So we're going to put four of these back behind here like so.
Kind of something like that.
Place it on top of your fireplace.
Now we're going to take some brown eyelets.
Take a slope peace. We're going to tile it with the slope piece.
Something like that.
What we're trying to do, we're going to beef it up for a mantel.
This is all for looks.
This really ain't going to be no structural support So it's going to come like something like that.
Let's do the other one.
And once you get to that point, it's starting to look like a fireplace.
But now we need to put a mantel on there.
Take a plate.
A 2 by 6 brown plate and a 1 by 6 tile.
Tile one half of it,
and the other half, a 1 by 6 brown plate.
Something like that.
Then we're just simply going to come in and place it on top of our fireplace.
And there you have it.
Looks just like a brick fireplace.
Now we're going to come into the house.
We're going to install our new fireplace.
We're just simply going to put it right here.
Press it down like so.
And there you have it.
The smooth tile that we have,
the dark grey is going to go in here.
That's fine and dandy,
but what about doing a chimney?
As you noticed, I've left the wall off my house for a reason.
And I'm knocking other pieces off of it too.
Okay. So we're already here at the wall ... the back wall.
So we're going to start building the chimney up.
So basically I'm just going to take some pieces,
Start building this up.
Okay, now the reason why I had you put that plate at the top is to keep everything smooth.
As you may notice ... I don't know what that was doing int here,
but there's your fireplace.
You can see down inside the chimney there.
So you got a chimney.
That's why I had you do the plate. Now we can just simply come in here and strengthen this up.
There's going to be um.... There's a couple of ways you can do this.
One of my favorites would be to come in here....
Actually I'm just going to put the wall on top of that to keep this thing strong,
because there's nothing really holding this in.
So we're going to come in here
and secure this up.
Let's just get some pieces and get started on this and top this off.
Okay, that's what the fireplace looks like when it's all completed.
As you noticed, I have all the walls finished off on top
around by the chimney.
Now one thing we're going to come in and we're going to put some tiles in the front right here.
I am going to put some plates on the bottom for carpeting
to hide the green floor.
You can do whatever you want,
but I'm going to use some 2 by 2 dark grey tiles in front of the fireplace.
The reason for that is if I come in and stick a pegged thing here with the tile on the front, it will not work well.
Now you could do it,
but it has look really well,
and I want to at least put some tile in front of my fireplace.
And there you go.
You've got tile in front of your hearth.
And now you can just simply come in,
take some plates
and carpet that whole area in.
Now I was getting a question, why do I put smooth tiles on the top of my walls?
Because the fact that I will be setting another floor on top of this house.
And I will show you how to build in nice floor for the second story of your house,
and I'm planning on covering this whole area here.
The garage, I'm not.
So up here there will be three bedrooms and one bathroom. A full bath.
And right over here, we're going to put a balcony on here
right above the patio.
So add as a friend, follow, and
you could see that extra video as well. And you'll know when I'll post up my new videos.
So thanks for watching.
