Dude I just found these guys and shit man I can’t put into words how amazing this channel is!!!!! Talk about covering everything in a remodel to set anyone up!!!!! With a little basic knowledge this channel will help you accomplish it all! I’m addicted been watching them all! Lol

[@Jack-mw7dz]

For the handles and knobs you need to get "the hardware tool true position drill guide" your handles will be so easy to install. After you install shelves use screen molding on the front of the plywood.

[@joshoneill2584]

Y’all are awesome! I check my phone everyday to see if you posted a new video. Paul you really know the trade. There’s no other channel like this one! Keep up the good work guys and keep the content coming!!!

Thx Josh 👍👊

[@travisk5589]

I have seen other comments about the length of time that you all spend on the job and how are the customers okay with it. It’s the quality of the finish work. That’s what keeps the customers happy

[@scotts4125]

I have a low voltage guy that has done a ton of work for me mostly crawling in the attic and getting wires to nearly impossible places. He isn't the fastest or cheapest but he is the best I have ever used before. People usually appreciate excellent work even if it takes a bit longer.

[@jray062781]

Love the channel. Just the right amount of talking. Really like how precise you are. i try, but don't have the tools (table saw, etc...). Looking forward to seeing the pantry completed. A full build would be fantastic!

[@hansangb]

@3:58 after making the tiny hole, you can grab a coat hanger (or any stiff enough wire) and put a 90deg bend on it with the radius that's appropriate. If you need a 4" clearance, use a 2" wire with a bend. Then after you insert the coat hanger, you can twirl it around to see if you hit anything. Works well. You can even raise it a bit higher to make sure there are no obstructions 1 1/2" from the drywall by marking the wire with some tape.

[@StudPack]

[@timcox9650]

Good suggestion for adding a row of tiles below the countertop line where the stove goes. But if you don't have enough tiles, just painting it black will help hide that line.

[@StudPack]

Thx Tim 👍

[@mattwilliamson1714]

@@StudPack Was going to say the same thing as Tim... Also, if you keep a spray bottle of plain water with you, use it to put a fine mist into the air near the ceiling (after you paint); it will knock down the paint fog in any room a little faster. Lastly, you really should use your Groutlet™ to cover outlets before painting. Fantastic work as always. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rockandmeatroll]

@@mattwilliamson1714 I spray painted today first time, lots of overspray in the air, would this trick help speed up the clearing time?

[@mattwilliamson1714]

@@rockandmeatroll Should help a lot as long as you're using it on "mist" setting... "stream" won't do a thing for you. (Obviously, it won't take everything out of the air, but should be a noticeable improvement. If you're doing a large area, you can put AC filters over the back of a box fan and leave that on the "Low" setting and it'll help too.

[@scottyee707]

I have a pantry like that with a pocket door, I put a automatic switch on it so when the door opens the light turns on and when closed the light is off. Love it.

[@StudPack]

Cool thx Scott 👍👊

[@jjandkw8274]

I can't wait to see the finished niche. I started doing my backsplash with same shape of tile (not glass) and decided to add a niche above the stove. Came up with the same idea to do herringbone in back of the niche but then I got stuck and wasn't sure what to do on the sides or how to size the niche so there'd be no tiny tiles to fit in on the sides. Love your idea to cut the tiles to size before cutting out the hole for the niche and now that I can see how the herringbone looks with the horizontal tiles on the wall, I'm ready to move forward. Love your videos.

[@mansfieldcarpentry805]

Better to use a punch on a jig, then use the punch dimple to drill out, if you reuse the same jig too many times like these, you will widen the holes and create errors. Using a punch also allows you to double check alignment before drilling.

[@y00h0011]

Keeping it real!! ..even mistakes. And we all make them. It wasn't costly.. and that's what matters. Pantry looks great. Multi-tool!!! .. the best tool designed since the reciprocating saw.

[@fotobum1952]

Your father/son relationship is a positive force to the channel.

[@ruangg]

I appreciate how you try to optimize the use of materials for cost and minimal waste. Too many builders today don't care, either because they just pass the bill with additional costs to the owner, or it gets considered as fair waste. It feels like you have the best interest at heart. If a contractor can fulfil the contract, and save money for himself or the owner by working smart, that makes me happy to see. You also put so much pride into your work with longevity in mind. I appreciate when a guy can take ownership of his mistakes, even if you only make a few. Nobody's perfect, but I wish there were more people like you. You learn from your mistakes and allow us to learn as well. Years and years of experience. Thank you.

[@shopart1488]

For cabinet hardware I have always used a plastic speed square. I decide where I want the hole that works for all the doors and also figure for drawers. The first hole is drilled thru the door and the speed square then then the square is used for all the remaining holes. The square can be use for multiple placements over the years. I tape off all the unneeded holes for each job so as not to make a mistake.

[@LikeZO]

The progress and before and after visuals are unreal. I've been following this project since the beginning, the work done here is nothing short of amazing.

[@loneranger4175]

I would add a facia board to the front of the pantry shelves. A facia board will make the shelves look thicker and hide the support boards on the wall. A 1.5" facia board would look great , do a temporary piece and see for yourself.

[@rockandmeatroll]

That is a very nice expensive-looking remodel, very nice work. For our own projects you have shown us up, that pantry looks so cool once painted.

[@htownblue11]

[@TedLedbetter]

Another excellent one guys! Great music and editing Jordan! :)

[@RoseGreen]

Love it! But I hate to say this... that area behind the stove will be a constant grease trap. I give 3 years and she'll be calling you back to fill that in. :/ There's a reason they do not make spice racks to fit behind the stove anymore. They nasty. They constantly nasty. And, you constantly have to clean it... constantly. I know you guys do not like polymer grouts, But I would suggest using it on that area at least. With all the grease removers she'll be using on that area, that grout won't last.

[@kajem575]

Yes,you make all the right points about the grease,but in the end it doesn't really matter what you do, the grease will win out. Additionally; especially here on yt SO MANY believe they have the answer/solution when there really isn't one per se (I don't mean you). It's a kitchen,it's inevitable and in my experience only those with the most incessant OCD will ever keep it clean. Sorry not knocking your post/comment,just my 2 cents as well. 🙂✌❤

[@markarita3]

Was thinking the same thing. Should have kept that flat.

[@percyfaith11]

Washable gloss or semi gloss paint is the easiest.

[@rxcalvosa]

Putting a layer of Saran Wrap over the tiles while cooking will keep them surgically clean for a long time.

Ingenuity truly does create success. I always get a lot of great ideas from you on the carpentry end of things and remodels. I have the electrical and plumbing part, but cabinetry and remodels are not really my skill set. Not that I can't do it, I just have not had the opportunity to do much like that. That is why I enjoy Stud Pack for all the great ideas and how-to content. Kudos to both of you!

[@theloneviking9145]

I think you guys do magnificent work however I was a little surprised about the bull nosing of the shelves and doing all that work spackling them to hide the plywood raw edges. Why not just add a piece of one by two to the edge to create a nice lip and it does make thr plywood significantly stronger. But I do agree with the cleat method of shelving. I’ve used all types but I find the cleats are the most strong.

[@28theawesomeman7]

Are you going to put leds on the Bottom of all the shelves in the pantry or some sort of lighting

[@aaronhenry2075]

I like your trick of using the small screwdriver to check clearance for the pendant lights. I do the same thing, but use one of the twirly screwdrivers. You can put it in the hole, rotate it so it is flat against the drywall, then spin it to check for clearance. Works great in an instance where you have finished floor above and cant visually inspect.

[@donniematz]

Looks great! Can’t wait for the next video!

[@jthonn]

[@artursmihelsons415]

Great tips! That small jig for door handles, in reality, is multifunction jig.. In my case, lots of time, I need to drill identical holes when assembled new shelf.. This custom made jig may prevent holes to go off center and save money (No need to purchase factory made jigs).. Thanks for video!

Hey guys, what about adding a piece of 2x1 to the front edge of those shelves? Creates a nice flat face for painting and adds a lip to stop any item on those shelves from falling, especially in a pantry where you constantly put things in an out. Love all the tips guys and great work as usual!!! PS: I just got myself an adjustable drawer handle jig for 15 bucks, saved my life! All the best!!!

[@TheSidneySmith]

I’m surprised by your choice of a wood shelf system in the pantry. I like the idea of adjustable shelves and would have used something like what you can find at the big box stores with fixed standards and options for depths of shelves and accessories.

[@theloneviking9145]

I have used both cleats and adjustable shelving , I find cleats are the most strong. And I was taught a long time ago by a carpenter that people very rarely adjust shelves once they’re in.

[@user-ym2mp4jh2c]

@@theloneviking9145 Did that carpenter also tell you that people rarely adjust shelves ONLY IF they were installed for the customer's use case (for example the customer mainly stores cereal and so needs each shelf to be taller) instead of whatever height is deemed "standard" or "multi-use"?

[@markarita3]

Intro background music was gold! Not sure how crucial that 45° brace @ 19:03 is though...that right cleat is nailed to a stud, no? You would need to put ALOT of weight on that end before that cleat (alone) would give out. The one @ 19:09 though was a must. And to answer your question, ABSOLUTELY no, your not the only one that that happens to! Tricky to foresee some things way ahead of time sometimes. Love that fixture hole-cutting jig!

Thx. The cleat above that 45 brace was nailed in the corner only. Felt like I needed some support at the other end. Thx 👍👊

[@markarita3]

@@StudPack Ok. I know it would've taken longer but, I would've used a countersunk bolt into a butterfly anchor instead, to keep the cleat look consistent. But you know what? After those shelves are filled, no ones gonna notice ;-). Love the backsplash btw!

[@scottcottontx]
