For future reference if you need to enlarge a hole with a hole saw, cut a hole in a piece of wood then stick that to the wall and use it as a guide for the hole saw. Hot glue works well and is easy to remove. 😊
Those drill bits don’t have a pilot bit anyway. That method works great for wood hole saws though. I had to do it when a dopey carpenter drilled holes for me to add steplights for a deck he built. The lights weren’t picked out yet. Why’d he drill too small of holes at heights at all random heights? Because he’s a dopey carpenter.
Nice to see someone was able to make one of these cheap Chinese bath fixture sets work. I had one of these kits we got a good deal on in returned/open box condition. After going through the way these kits are designed, I ended up only using the rainfall shower head. Everything was threaded connections, and none of them were tapered. So when threading in standard NPT fittings, it would not reliably seal. I suggest everyone steer clear of these Chinese kits. However, it is impressive to watch you overcome these challenges and shortcomings in the product and achieve such an amazing result. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, IM VERY EXCITED FOR THE STUDPACK HOUSE.
Nice job on the bathroom guys, professional looking job.....there's so much negative energy surrounding our industry,you guys are a reminder that there are those of us who love what we do and take pride in our work...👍👍
It always brings me joy when you guy’s post a new video. Haven’t watched it yet but I will later tonight. Thanks for doing everything y’all do and I’m very excited for the future of this channel. Thanks studs
The bathroom looks amazing, I can't wait to see the final video with your buddy's reaction. I'm so pumped for you two! It has been quite a journey and I am so thankful you brought us all along for it. So ready to see the next chapter of Stud Pack in Texas!!!
Unbelievable, gentlemen. You guys are the best thing since This Old House and I think your show would be even more successful! Texas just became a better state with you guys in it. Rock On, brothers!
Missed you guys! I love how you show the stuff that ALWAYS happens on every single project/job and the innovative ways you work to accommodate the details for a stunning end result. Such great craftsmanship and integrity. And as always, you and Jordan are just the best!
So I'm an HVAC mech by trade and feel like I can learn anything. A couple years ago I became a first time home owner, and you guys have been my inspiration and part of my knowledge base. This shower is epic, and I'm happy to do something similar to my master bath ! Matter of fact, I was previously insistent to have a professional do the retro, but after watching a few of your videos redoing baths, I feel like I could give it a try.. thanks! Keep it up guys and good luck on retrofitting that house, you got a lotta work ahead of you haha !
The problem solving is outstanding and extremely important. That's the part I have the most trouble with. I don't know all the tools, parts and techniques. If this were an HGTV show, the whole middle part (problem-solution) would be cut in favor of over-the-top "how beautiful" blather. You guys and "Electrician U" are my favorites.
I enjoy watching your videos because not only are you knowledgeable and informative, but you also experience those "uh, oh" moments when things don't work out as planned. That's when Plan B must be devised. Hopefully Plan C won't be necessary. I can also appreciate your "Things I forgot to get" list. We've all been there, right? Keep up the good work and keep producing these videos.
I'm a girl who loves tools....yep, one of them.. A tool lover. I've never seen some of the unique ways you use some extenders to complete securing those fixtures. Very informational videos, as always. Forget This Old House....you guys are WAY BETTER!
Can’t tell y’all how exciting it is watching these videos. Waiting for them is just like Christmas as a child, I just can’t wait for the next vid. Keep up the great content y’all. I always loved helping my dad with tile jobs.
Nice finish touches on this bathroom. It really came together. I hope your friend appreciates the work and final appearance. He should be quite happy with the results. I like the tool tips in this video and the pipe tool was a great find. I haven't needed one yet but I will definitely keep it in mind when I encounter the same issue you all did in this bathroom.
Really takes me back to working on my Dad's house in the 90s. Dozens of little workarounds popping up week after week. Congrats you guys! Now on to Texas!
Thank you, I hope RUclips is worth it to you and Jordan. Learning so much about what it takes in the real world to finish a high quality project. Thanks
All the little tricks you guys use - my dad would have really enjoyed your work. He was the master of tricks like this and really appreciated the FEW others that had that skill level. Great to see your great work and it brings back great memories for me. Upward and onward! Looking forward to whats next.
So...*That's* what those things are. I'm writing about the internal pipe wrench. I inherited all of my Dads tools and shop equipment and I have always seen it one of his tool boxes and wondered what it is, and what it does. Now I know. Thanks, Paul
Before drilling with the saw in that existing hole, you could have put a wood block / dowel (cut it using the same saw that made the original opening) in to fill the existing opening. Then you could have centered the saw with some confidence that you were getting it spot on.
When you’re adjusting the lights up and down instead of tying a knot in the cord to retain it try using a zip tie. The beauty is you can undo and redo the zip tie to adjust the light up and down. And you really wanna do that adjustment on the ground before you climb up
"That's always the question isn't it.. Can I get it all the way around again to line it up..?.. Whoop! It just got really easy! 😳.. I'm gonna leave it.. I'm gonna leave it." 😂 Nice
Great job taking us through the phases of this over the top bathroom job. Like how you tackled all the license setbacks & tackled all the final finishes getting everything to fit & look perfect!
This shower is turning out absolutely gorgeous. Why in a shop though? Did I miss something? This is the kind of shower that gets built in the house and reserved for the old lady.
Im starting a project where I need to screw on a pipe with external threads. I never knew that internal pipe wrench existed until now. This video was worth its weight in gold. Thanks so so much. Just picked a set of them up at lowes for 12 dollars. Stud pack saved me once again.
I have worked for myself as a contractor for about 16-17 years. I am always apprehensive when I go to put the trim on a tile shower wall hoping I don't have issues like you did hear, you burn up time having to modify parts, which is far from ideal. I usually lean something every time I watch one of your videos. My daughter worked for me for about a year when she was in college when I first started my business, it seems like you and Jordan have fun working together. This shower is looking great, I love the bowtie in the shower wall, it looks great. Keep up the great videos guys.
That's a bathroom I'd never leave! Absolutely wonderful! Every motorhead needs a bathroom like this one. You guys have a great eye for this stuff! I bet you Jay Leno doesn't have a bathroom like this in his shop. Maybe he'll give you a call.
So relieved to see this. Just finished my tile shower and had the exact same pipe depth issues with the fixtures. I thought I had followed all the 'standard' ways of building it yet had to do a similar creative fix at the end. I knew it'd work but thought I had made some mistake to create the issue. Now I'm realizing that maybe it wasn't my lack of experience that caused the issue!
Absolutely awesome bathroom build guys!! An unbelievable number of hurdles you guys had to clear to get to this point!!...and you did it! And WELCOME to Texas!!! Can't wait to see the Stud Pack project house! 👍❤️👍
You guys didn't build a bathroom, you built a water park!! Where can I get tickets?! LOL Beautiful! It's been such an adventure! Can't wait to see what you guys have in store in Texas! Safe travels, and Merry Christmas!
I am so glad I found your channel. From learning how to make the best worksite extension cord to watching you guys kill this bathroom, thank you for all of the content!

Clever pan up to the EXIT sign! This series was extremely educational in tools, methods, products, humor and surprisingly...design.
"You been working out?" 🤣🤣 Looking good - both of you guys; & the bathroom, too!

Okay, that bathroom came out RIDICULOUSLY cool! Some AWESOME attention to detail, guys!
The camshaft supports came out great!
Unbelievable, gentlemen. You guys are the best thing since This Old House and I think your show would be even more successful! Texas just became a better state with you guys in it. Rock On, brothers!
Stud pack is just too good. They solve some crazy problems
Not my style but awesome execution, love to see how you had to solve so many small problems. Thanks for sharing, Charles
"We know the wood is back there, because we built it." Darn right. Cheers
Missed you guys!
I love how you show the stuff that ALWAYS happens on every single project/job and the innovative ways you work to accommodate the details for a stunning end result. Such great craftsmanship and integrity. And as always, you and Jordan are just the best!
Whoever thought of using a camshaft, what an excellent idea!
Love it! Honestly, I think the idea to get the cheap Chinese shower hardware is what caused all the headache.
I love the internal pipe wrench. Genius. Thanks.
So I'm an HVAC mech by trade and feel like I can learn anything. A couple years ago I became a first time home owner, and you guys have been my inspiration and part of my knowledge base. This shower is epic, and I'm happy to do something similar to my master bath !

Guys...you absolutely killed it! Looking forward to the next phase of the Stud Pack journey. Texas better watch out.
Great bathroom for your friend, I think he will really think it’s awesome.
Congrats on completing the job. Blessings to you in TX. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE STUD PACK HOUSE(S)
Fantastic idea for the sink supports!
The problem solving is outstanding and extremely important. That's the part I have the most trouble with. I don't know all the tools, parts and techniques. If this were an HGTV show, the whole middle part (problem-solution) would be cut in favor of over-the-top "how beautiful" blather.

Very extravagant shower for a garage... 🙂 Great Work Stud Pack!!!

That application is far better than legs to the floor.
That bathroom is stunning..... in a very masculine way! 😆
Also this guy is just so good, because I would lose my mind (and often do) when I’m working and stuff need to modify things.
one of my favorite DIY series so far. So much content, information and entertainment. It's a manly, man's bathroom for working men!
I'm a girl who loves tools....yep, one of them.. A tool lover. I've never seen some of the unique ways you use some extenders to complete securing those fixtures. Very informational videos, as always. Forget This Old House....you guys are WAY BETTER!
Unbelievable…..looks amazing 👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome job guys. I love watching craftsman at work!
Happy trails! Nice custom bathroom.
Can’t tell y’all how exciting it is watching these videos. Waiting for them is just like Christmas as a child, I just can’t wait for the next vid. Keep up the great content y’all. I always loved helping my dad with tile jobs.
That bathroom looks awesome. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see the new house.

The green showerhead light 16:53 must mean it’s out of this world! 🛸
Too good! Godspeed to the journey that lies ahead out in TX!!
Really takes me back to working on my Dad's house in the 90s. Dozens of little workarounds popping up week after week. Congrats you guys! Now on to Texas!
great job. Thank you for filming and sharing it with us!

I just learned about these earlier this year. My mind was blown.
man... i didn't watch your videos for a while. i already regret it...
GREAT JOB, keep it up
💯Hit me up on Telegram.
you said, "adage." love it.
I had those internal wrench for years. Used them maybe twice....lol
When you need them YOU need them
Congratulations!!!!! Look out Texas here they come!
When you’re adjusting the lights up and down instead of tying a knot in the cord to retain it try using a zip tie. The beauty is you can undo and redo the zip tie to adjust the light up and down. And you really wanna do that adjustment on the ground before you climb up
Awesome job 👏
That bathroom is amazing gang!! You really out did yourselves this time!!!
Best of luck in Texas! We're all excited!
A new video! YES!!!
That is one awesome shower build. You guys rock! One thing though, the owner is a Mopar guy!
Amazing build 👍👏 Super excited for Texas!
Thx to you guys--just did my basement rewire with Wago! Smooth!
"That's always the question isn't it.. Can I get it all the way around again to line it up..?.. Whoop! It just got really easy! 😳.. I'm gonna leave it.. I'm gonna leave it." 😂 Nice
You made my Friday better.

Why in a shop though? Did I miss something?

Have a very Happy Holiday and a safe trip to Texas.
Guys, you can get a camshaft stretcher at Home Depot!!! They are right next to the left-handed wind shifters.....
Bathroom Looks great! I am so beyond excited for the stud pack house in TX. Safe Travels!!
It’s been quite a project. Beautiful results! Best wishes for success in Texas.

Great job and video Paul - Going to buy that tool. Could have used it this past summer.
Congratulations! I look forward to your videos in Texas!
The boys are back!!!!

This is a fairly common tool in the plumbing trade... very handy to have

Nice to have you back!!!!
Amazing project! Really enjoyed watching this from beginning to end, great job guys!
I have several sizes of those, definitely worth it. Been around a long time . Everything looks great
I’ve precut a wooden block then glued it to the tape with c/a glue to guide my bit before
So relieved to see this. Just finished my tile shower and had the exact same pipe depth issues with the fixtures.

BTW a ton of inspiration and knowledge to build our dream home shower came from your earlier videos. It turned out amazing. Thank you!
Send us pictures at studpack225@gmail.com we'd love to see em' Nathan!
Welcome to Texas. Great build, hope to see how it looks in final final finish. Merry Christmas gents. Paz.
