DIY Floating Mantle WITH HIDDEN PLUG!!!

[@peterwatters]

you're a great dad

[@LumenateTV]

I'm convinced Paul is the world's best dad.

[@AprilRaine60]

That's exactly what I was thinking Peter. He is a fantastic father and carpenter.

[@shadowman3320]

Nice job, as usual. I built a few of those mantles for friends, only I mitered all the edges so it looked solid. Extra work, but worth it.

[@davidreed9046]

I would have mitered the corners going from the front to the sides of the mantle. If cut from the same board as the face, it gives the appearance of being one large piece of wood. Other than that minor critique, great job!

[@fifthamendment1]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@curtisbme]

Yeah, don't like the look of the end grain like that as it makes it look cheaply made.

[@lechatbotte.]

It looks like a box sorry just not my taste

[@decosse01]

Yep, agreed, that's how I did mine - well I actually mitered sides AND top/bottom. So the Sides and Top & Bottom have 3 mitered edges, the front has 4. You could maybe get away without the front to top & bottom on this one, don't look quite so bad because of the typical angle of view, it's not so prominent. But the end grain on the sides looks poor I'm sorry to say.

[@SuperDave21]

Paul I love how you are so great with your kids. Warms the heart buddy. Happy New Year, love the channels!

[@dgeoffreyfitton2836]

Nice work, enjoy your tricks and work arounds. That Summer is sweetheart, glad to see her helping Dad & hubby.

[@CharlesBundy-z9n]

LOL on pulling back Summer’s hair! It’s funny, was watching Perkins brothers and never saw the first warning from viewers that Ray should be wary of his beard around power tools!

[@billmurphy5148]

Totally agree. A pure dad moment: love in action.

[@AnitaSquirrell]

Go Summer! How lucky you are to have a dad like Paul!!!

[@kennethmiller2333]

Love the workmanship, as always, but I preferred the old one. But that's a matter of preference, not of quality.

[@rfengr1]

Agree, the old one had more character, could have refinished it. This new pine wood box is too basic. If it was a different species like walnut, maybe.

[@Lyons-rowR]

I love the outlet on the mantle rather than stringing extension cords down the wall, wishes, wishes, wishes.. I had a Dad like Summer!

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

Umm… I thought Paul’s kids were lucky before, but now I see him adding electric to the MANTLE for holiday DECORATIONS! So lucky! 😊 Those kerfs are awesome!

[@briankowald6465]

I probably would have just painted the old one, but that’s me. What you did looks fantastic. The outlet is a nice touch

[@AliAl-Faesly]

Definitely should have painted, replaced art with boring modernity

[@LikeAnOldFordTruck]

“Alright, that did not work…” love it! Story of my life 🤣😆🤣

[@Ryan-vr3tz]

If it didn't happen like that, life would be no funn

[@greggcoulter6008]

Love the family dynamic with the channels. Great job on the mantle.

[@NathanHumphries96]

Always look forward to the vids guys thank you for the content tens to Learn a lot especially from the studpack garage build

[@coburn_karma]

Great choice of the new mantel, with the cool outlet. Also, thank you Paul for teaching us the curf for warped boards.

[@phatcowboy76]

Nice one Everyone. Paul I am still impressed with your long, flawless monologues where you inform the facts and you always know what everything is called. That doesn't come easy. It takes years of experience. Excellent job.

[@tylers6300]

I own a dreo space heater and love it, cheap and the safest space heater ever!

[@philipmiller5202]

Stud Pac you need to hide the wires behind the TV.

[@belight123]

Or get rid of the TV altogether... they are one of most unattractive elements to be on primary display when you walk into someone's home. I don't have even one in my home for this reason.

[@jamesmchugo9422]

Awesome video guys. Nice to see the whole family working and having fun.

[@just-a-person2023]

I have to say it seems to me that you are all about quality! Kudos. also i bet i couldn't even imagine how much prep you put into all the behind the scenes work. Great stuff!

[@yungbroc]

not to be that guy but as a chimney sweep we call those units prefabs. in your case its probably safe to run wires through the void in which the chimney runs, but it does get hot which is why the air space is there in the first place (acting primarily as insulation for all the heat). those flue pipes do get hot, and this doesn't necessarily apply to what you guys did but its usually not a good idea to run anything through that space, especially externally through the siding like one might do with a satellite dish etc. because it can and will introduce outside moisture that will eventually sit and pool on that metal firebox and/or flue pipe. ive seen it many times even when people apply silicone or other products to seal those voids. basically guys just be careful. stud pack did it right but your case might be different.

[@valsomeone2180]

The old mantle looked awesome. I have no idea what they did.

[@ZachAshcraft]

That Kerf tip is worth a million bucks. Can think of a few times that would've saved an extra trip to the lumber yard!

[@jefftabor595]

Thank goodness Summer’s hair was up! Great work as always.

[@Comrade_YG]

I liked the stone back splash in the kitchen but this shelf looks not so great, would’ve been better if it was thinner

[@patrickkenny2077]

Nice job! FWIW, I would have added some kind of access to the interior of the mantle so I could have a home automation relay like a Shelly1 concealed inside that can control the outlet.

[@alastairdallas]

"So excited." Summer's impression of Aubrey Plaza is spot on.

[@sgwsteve1665]

Stud pack and stud pack 2 My favorite KZbin channels

[@briankowald6465]

Second that

[@XIXpop]

I Always learn something from Team Stud Pack. and Stud Pack 2...thanks very much

[@ltfl09]

Would love to see you guys renovate/tile a fireplace front one day

[@davidmessersmith786]

On your planer, you should not leave the chip chute open like that. The blower used to keep the head blades clear blow out with a fair amount of force/velocity and can blow chips into your eyes.

[@qwerty112311]

13:40 that is not how you flatten a cupped board on a planer. The rollers before and after the cutter head force it flat and you just take off uniform thickness. You need something in the void to counteract the pressure from the roller.

[@seasickmike1604]

Big Nope, way too primitive looking, plug is nice touch though

[@wiseyedgirl9]

Great job as always Big Papa. Thank you.

[@jessicahites871]

Always love the content!! Quick question... what makes an outlet tamper resistant? Asking because I added 2 outside receptacles to my house this summer and neither one of them work. Only thing I can think is because they're tamper resistant gfi's and I added them in the middle of existing circuits. Any help is appreciated! Single mom of 5 doing a complete remodel by myself of an old brick farmhouse built in 1892, can't afford to hire anything out.

[@andrejstefanovski]

Tamper Resistant is just little plastic doors that stop you from putting anything into the hole without engaging both at the same time. A plug going in engages both and they move out of the way, a kid putting in a butter knife only engages one and should be blocked from reaching the conductive surface. As for your GFCIs, most common mistake I see is someone swapping line and load. Find the markings on the back and incoming power needs to go to LINE and any downstream receptacles connect to LOAD. When reversed, some GFCIs will power devices but the GFCI function won't work, some just won't work, depending on manufacturer. Also all GFCIs pop the first time they're powered up, so make sure you press the reset button after flipping breakers back on.

[@TexasTimelapse]

Now do them a solid and get those wires behind the sheetrock on that TV and raise the electrical outlet so it's behind the TV. Little things like that go a long way and it's easy to do.... especially for you guys.

[@mrscoot1]

If you did not destroy the original mantle, I would love it! Lol That is perfect color I am trimming my tiny house in! I bet it came out in pieces!

[@ReliableRandy]

The amount of little things done just because us viewers are dumb af just tickle my soul lol. I am starting to pick them up more and more

[@KaelGrant23]

Always love the creative like button suggestions, makes me never forget to hit it! 👍

[@St3al.your.h3art]

[@nw6gmp]

17:50 basically like a replacement female end for an extension cord, but I would have expected you to go the extra step and flush mount it 😆👍🤙

[@jeremyzaloum3443]

We noticed! Why wouldn't you do something anything with that 80s fireplace brick. ... Everything else looks amazing. Can't wait for new windows!

[@cadendion7055]

Why not get some rough cut white oak now that you have the planer?!

[@niklaslindholm4367]

Personally I’d just paint it a different color because I loved that first mantle

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

This was a fun method - I was afraid you were going to steam and bend them. 😬

[@HidalgoLikeTheHorse]

looks like you got a shiner. how did that happen? is Summer hitting you!? :D

[@Branden-h1d]

Stud Pack, the link is not working, can you also supply one for the receptacle you installed? Love the show

[@StudPackTwo]

bit.ly/4ad4Ena try this link, it’s working!

[@jumper233]

So instead of 2 straight cuts on the crown they angled cut the brick?

[@briankowald6465]

Crazy. Would have been easier to cut the crown molding

[@matthewdeline1058]

Where’d Paul get that shiner? Lol

[@JohnWalker-e6y]

Safety squints! Right on!

[@Zii0N]

The link to the fan seems to be broken. Great Video as always!

[@StudPackTwo]

bit.ly/4ad4Ena it works for us, try it again 👍🏽

[@dvpierce248]

5:08 really triggered my "power washer" response.

[@sparky178]

I was yelling at my IPad, don’t put the plug in the center! Great placement!

[@barry7391]

What are you using to power the grex pin nailer? I'm asking because I don't hear it working in the background. Must be outside, I'd assume.

[@Selfhelp-k4w]

Jordan, Dero fan link isnt working bud, haha im sorry for the extra work

[@StudPackTwo]

Sorry bout that, It’s working now! Just tried it👍🏽

[@Britt-h4s]

Paul, is anything you can’t build? I doubt it !!

[@wiseyedgirl9]

Hi Fella's. Unfortunately; the link to the Fan/Heater is not working. Will you please repost it? Thank you.

It's what Summer did after dad said he wasn't cleaning the brick before he installed the new mantle 😂

[@cafemolido5459]

You should had cut the corners at 45 degrees to "hide" the corners seams and look professional

[@justit2015]

That exposed wiring on the LED TV

[@rickbarber6758]

Good Grief!! I can't believe you cheapened out on a little bit of wire!! I run #12 to all outlets. It's just better.

[@nathanielswanson5730]

They likely put it on an existing lighting 15amp circut so the rest of the circut is already #14 so it would be a waste of #12 wire.

[@modockthegreat]

preffered the original mantle,better than that oblong box.

[@mjboy8790]

Didn’t even miter the edges 😂

How far does that romex need to be away from the chimney flue? Looks close and the romex might melt.

[@iamnolegend2519]

I would think the flue is type B vent pipe. That can be in contact with combustibles.
