Design and Build Your Own
Fireplace Mantle
Mantels can be as rustic as a log set in river rock or as
refined as the most elegant piece of furniture. Design and then
build the perfect one for your fireplace with the help of this
illustrated, step by step guide by Larry Walton, from the pages
of Extreme How-To Magazine.
Extreme How-To magazine provides the latest information on
tools, techniques and home-improvement technology for the
extreme handyman. It's a comprehensive resource for today’s
do-it-yourselfer. Having the right equipment, materials and
building strategies to complete tasks is of crucial importance.
Answering this demand, Extreme How-To provides tips on
everything from adding a room, creating a patio or refinishing a
deck, to installing a window, building a retaining wall or
reconstructing a floor.
Extreme How-To sets itself apart from other home-improvement
publications not only with dynamic graphic design, but also with
an editorial focus that challenges its readers with
professional-grade projects. Their stories focus on the tough
projects often relegated to remodeling contractors but doable
for the seasoned handyman. They supplement this information
