I am working on building a fireplace mantel. I took out the ancient cedar that surrounded the bricks. I was using the instructions on the DIY website but can’t see the pictures that well and the instructions aren’t that detailed. The demensions are 67.5″ wide by 44″ tall for the bricks. the brick platform in front of the fireplace is same width as the fireplace with no extra brick on the side. My question is what is the simplest way to do a decent mantel? anywhere I should look that I haven’t tried yet?
