Your systems that you come up with to save time are simply brilliant. To level your trim with laser-sighted screws is genius.

Some things you catch are necessary to fix, but most of them are so small that no normal person will ever see them or even care. The ONLY reason you can get away with this level of pickiness is because UA-cam videos are paying for your project.

Thanks Frank 💪🏼 As far as the Jordan paragraph goes, he’s just as picky as the rest of us! We all care about different things, and he says “it’s fine” to things the rest of the guys want to take time to do! You’re preaching to the choir 🙏🏼
I love this. The more i watch the more wholesome it feels. Son, Building his dream home with his pops. Even if it doesn't come out perfect, your going to have these memories last you a lifetime. Immortalized in these videos, for years to come. Your kids and grandkids will be able to watch how their childhood home was built. They will get to see the silly moments with you and your dad. And once paul passes these videos will always be a great reminder of the amazing relationship you guys share. At the end of the day, even if the house doesn't come out completely perfect, the memories will always be perfect.
LOVE the precision and attention to detail!! Too many people nowadays accept cheap, sloppy work as "standard" and try to talk others into doing the same. So good to see craftsmen who are not in the "cheap and sloppy is ok" camp.
Great advice to start where it’s less likely to be seen. I was taught by a master trim carpenter. I was just a laborer for a while and when he finally turned me loose and let me install he made me start in the closets and told me when I was good enough he would let me come out of the closet lol.
28:04 as a former furniture installer of almost 4 years this really bothers me, they for sure didn't outdo anything on the cabinet part haha (maybe, just maybe, there's a chance that the factory boards were not actually proper dimensions and square but I doubt that
@@jalanc100 with those kind of missaligments theres gonna be issues with the doors, they might be able to get them to look nice but theyll have doors that are not completely shut having gaps on either top or bottom which for a regular person wont be noticeable, but for me and my professional deformation it sure is haha. All in all its Jordans house and not mine
Paul, your channel is a goldmine of building and great trades techniques! I see the justified pride y’all have and it’s like we get peeks behind the trades. Not sure what all I personally will ever build, but at least I could share a tip you taught. Thanks, man. Well done!
@@StudPack I'm a locksmith by trade, I haven't been able to get a good look at whatever you guys have on the doors but if you need hardware suggestions or need help sourcing anything in particular let me know and I can see if I can send things over.
Great job I’m glad I’m retired and I don’t have to do this anymore. People don’t realize all the tools you need for doing trim work sheet rock building siding flooring. They just don’t understand it’s so much work and so many tools need it. It really takes a lot out of you. But when you’re young, you got the energy the older you get the less you wanna do it😮
This man does quality work - I respect him for that. He takes pride in excellence, so I expect he takes that standard with him even when he isn't working on his own son's dream house here.
I was taught the reason for the 1/4-3/8 reveal was to account for expansion and contraction. You won’t notice 1/32 out of 3/8 movement but you will notice if it moves 1/32 out of flush
As always, thank you for all your "insider" tips. Today's for me was the drywall screw level tip. Outstanding. I also appreciate all the product information you also share. While I may be aware of some or general information, you sharing your acquired knowledge with tools, tool accessories, product lines (such as the Bow fence and accessories) I might not be aware of adding to my knowledge base, etc. is always most definitely appreciated. Great job, guys. Looking forward to the painting getting wrapped up so we can see the "floor reveal."
Absolutely wrong. The chisel cut on the nails runs inline with the nail strip/gun. Any blowouts are left/right to the gun. If you nail your way, it will blowout all the time.
Great work as usual my dudes! You guys go above and beyond and it shows! Just have to point out one pet peeve of mine as a finish carpenter. Black chalk should not be anywhere near finished surfaces! That stuff will stain the bejezus out of anything it comes in contact with. Different color chalks have a rating for this, from least to most permanent is goes white, blue, orange, red, black. The more permanent the chalk will have greater visibility at the cost of staining finished surfaces. I think of black and red chalk as rough concrete and framing chalks, blue and orange are less easy to see but clean up better. With those pristine while walls I wouldn't be using anything above orange. Black will always end up where you don't want it. I keep a few different chalk lines loaded with various colours but orange is a great all around colour that doesn't stain too bad.
Paul your experience shows! You have such great insight and knowledge. Obviously you’ve been doing it awhile lol. It’s great to see the progress & team effort work so well. What a blessing to watch a clean, in all aspects, build. Your sense of humor is great & attitude is amazing. Building a cool garage & building a great tutorial library! Outstanding work and wonderful content!
Feels weird to think this garage is almost finished! Been watching the whole time. I get excited every time there’s a new video. It’s a bit unreal how enjoyable this journey has been to watch. Keep up the good work. Cannot wait to see what’s next!
It's been a tiring week, so when I see a new Stud Pack video it's always so refreshing! The positive productivity! Edit: AEROPRESS! What a great sponsor! I have one of the oooold ones and love it. The one you've got looks like it'd be the business for travel work!
This is what I've been waiting to see, all the tricks to make a perfect finish without breaking your back or running up the bill. Love how you tucked that light into the skin and make it still look factory, even taking the extra time to chisel out the overhang so the light fits perfectly flush. Can't wait to see it all done!
Little tip on your nail gun, my shop mate showed me this, but he put velcro the entire length of the magazine of the gun on the side with the tip. then velcro a block of wood to it. This allows you to square the gun to the piece every time you shoot a nail. Works fantastically!
@@remodz6385 how’s it silly, he literally had at least two nail blow outs he mentioned? This was taken from a cabinet maker with over 40 years of experience are you telling me you’ve never had a nail blow out?
Your place is coming together freaking awesome Jordan! I know I’ve said it so many times before, but your Dad, Paul, is a true master craftsman. Keep up the amazing work guys, and can’t wait to see y’all in some upcoming Perkins videos! Going to be epic
Jorden, you should put together a Booper real, that would be fun, it just shows you guys are human. I think we all would get a kick out of it, Love the videos and the work you guys do.
Great job as always, guys! One tip, to avoid blowouts when using the finish nailer on the trim, turn the nailer 90 degrees. When the nailer drives the finish nails, they always bend up or down, but never side to side (I have no idea why. Science.) so if you keep your nailer parellel with your material you won't have any nails coming out the side of your trim.
I have to admit, those frames look great without any reveal. I'm going to use that design for the 15 windows I'm about to put in on my second story addition, Thanks Guys.
I use that trick with the screws too. The good thing about using the screws on the sill is it levels the window across the bottom and it keeps the window stool elevated and away from any water that may leak in potentially rotting the wood.
So glad that you decided to paint the window casing white. It looks awesome. When will you fire up the AC? It has to be like a furnace on the second floor. It’s been awesome to watch your channel grow over the years.
I love all the videos but like a lot of others here have said, more consistency in the output of videos would be great. We understand that you don’t always have something to put out but once a week would be great.
I would of used number 20 biscuit on the corner. I suggest you try turning the air gun long ways on the casing, because the nails are chiseled and they will deflect at the chisel area.
I like trim with a reveal but I gotta say it looks good how you kept it flush. The Studpack LED Garondo is getting close to completion! It really looks great
You never want to flush up casing to the frame like this. There will always be a line that shows and the different rates of expansion/contraction will always make that seam an eye sore. If you want to achieve this look, you have to 45 miter the frame to the casing and glue it. I think a 1/8" reveal looks better anyway and avoids all the hassle.
I’ve used the screw trick several times, probably over a hundred. The adjustability is the best part. Also works great using two rows when you have twisted framing. I always size my liner boxes to be the same overall size as the window itself, which I have installed, therefore trusting its level, plum, and square. Then I just adjust the screws to be flush with the heel of the window. It seems slow out of the gate, but is way faster down the stretch.
Great video! Tip to avoid blowouts from Jason Hibbs, aka Bourbon Moth, turn the nail gun so that it’s inline with the length of the board. You’re more likely to tip the nail gun forward/backward than you are to tip side to side, so if/when the nail goes in at an angle, it’s still in the board rather than blown out…
Thank you for the ideas when I finally get to my window replacement. The only thing I I can even think if doing differently is fill in the seems on the window frames. That being said yalls work is amazing
I just love this channel. I, like every one else, learn so much from you Paul!!! So I’m sending you a usb stick to put in your head and extract everything in your brain!! Jordan can be as picky as he wants it’s his house!!!
I like to use pocket screws to make window trims But either way assembling the whole trim before putting it in the window makes life so much easier Love the tips and tricks. Screws for leveling, great idea
Cool to see you using screws for shims! Something I've been doing for years too. I share my experience with attentive helpers. That's the way I picked up a bunch of tricks along the way!
love your channel and watching your progress. I tried to flush up the trim in my house when i replaced the windows. The paint will crack where the joint comes together. Its better to do a reveal to avoid this. lesson learned for me..
I use cortex screws for this and exterior doors. The reverse thread on them allows you to shim the window perfectly by turning the screw. And they cut a plug hole in and come with plugs.
Great job guys. Just a suggestion to turn your brad nailer so it runs parallel with the trim. If and when the nail tries to bend inside the wood, it will not blow out the side.
I could watch you guys all day, fantastic channel with the new edition of the karate kid at the start , great workmanship guys cheers from Adelaide south australia.
I learned back when I was doing amateur handyman work on family homes and amateur painting my car to pull the painters tape when the paint is either completely dry (but it may chip if a hard paint like car paint) or wet (but you may get paint running onto the masked area.) My worst experience was pulling it after painting high gloss after it had "skinned." The paint just peeled right off the surface! With high or semi gloss paint, I recommend either pulling it while wet, or cutting it with a razor blade. And remember, I'm a full on amateur. 😄
I pick more tips and tricks for your channel than anyone else’s channel, well maybe Perkins Brothers but yours are more channeled towards my work. Thanks again for sharing!
Luv ya boys. Me and my dad run a construction biz but skeptic about flush casing to jamb. Time will separate disregarding however much glue and fasteners. Please post one year update lol.
You guys are really getting close to completion, I have been going along with you building my 420 sqft. tiny house, I got to move in April 1st and still have to insulate under the floors( got the R19 insulation about a week ago but with it getting around 106° callin for 110° tomarrow gonna wait until it cools off before I do that unless I feel great and start at daylight and do it alittle each morning before it gets so hot! Or I can get a lil help from family or freinds and knock it out in a weekend will likely wait until cooler weather before we do that! After that I have my interior trim and Im kinda testing and deciding where I can add extra cabinets and storage (a must in a tiny house) glad I got to see your trim videos and can not wait untill you do rest of your interior trim lower and upper , you always have good tips and tricks! I have same paint as you on walls and my trim is gonna be a dark brown I may stain it dark wood grain if it gives me the look I have in my mind, if not it will be dark brown . If it looks like I picture it in my mind it will pop! I have been doing alittle but after a year and a few months I have taken a lil break, but It is time to get back at it and finish. I was giving you time to catch up! LOL! But thank you for the videos, inspiration, and motivation . Your tips and tricks have helped me and given me confidence and so I again thank u all! See ya on the next one.
My dad went with a no reveal (because he didn’t know what he was doing) not as a choice. And I personally don’t prefer it, UNLESS you fill the gap between the pieces. After paint it always looks patchy, like some places it looks like it’s supposed to be solid (because the paint filled the gap) and others look like they are cracking or splitting apart (because the paint didn’t fill the gap). That’s just me, let me know if it bothered you Jordan!
Yea I wouldn't recommend doing no reveal, it always sticks out later nomatter what... You will see that line unless you patch it but that's just making a ton of extra work.
@@adambell2068You will never ever get it seamless unless you spend days doing some serious cabinetry techniques like a square to square edge glued and clamped or mitered, and or splined. Then probably spackled for paint grade. There’s a reason it’s rare..
I was surprised they didn't fill it. The only way you could even fill it and have it look good is if the carpentry is perfect. Theirs is, so filling is possible and IMO mandatory.

Sorry to say but his nail gun orientation was correct, if you placed it as you described. You’d have far more blow out.

I always size my liner boxes to be the same overall size as the window itself, which I have installed, therefore trusting its level, plum, and square. Then I just adjust the screws to be flush with the heel of the window. It seems slow out of the gate, but is way faster down the stretch.
You guys haven't posted for some time - I hope everything is all right!
Love the trick with the drywall screws to even out the sills. I use drywall screws the same way to adjust the tilt in and out on baseboards. Good job
Great video! Tip to avoid blowouts from Jason Hibbs, aka Bourbon Moth, turn the nail gun so that it’s inline with the length of the board. You’re more likely to tip the nail gun forward/backward than you are to tip side to side, so if/when the nail goes in at an angle, it’s still in the board rather than blown out…
Turn the nail gun parallel with the molding no blow out. Looks great guys.
Thank you for the ideas when I finally get to my window replacement. The only thing I I can even think if doing differently is fill in the seems on the window frames. That being said yalls work is amazing
I just love this channel. I, like every one else, learn so much from you Paul!!! So I’m sending you a usb stick to put in your head and extract everything in your brain!! Jordan can be as picky as he wants it’s his house!!!
I like to use pocket screws to make window trims
But either way assembling the whole trim before putting it in the window makes life so much easier
Love the tips and tricks. Screws for leveling, great idea
Excellent tricks and superb finishing! Nice job guys!
Paul, I hope you consider teaching a woodshop class when you get close to retiring. God gave you the gift to TEACH
I have 14 windows to trim out and will definitely be using your guidance. Thank you Stud Pack!
Cool to see you using screws for shims! Something I've been doing for years too. I share my experience with attentive helpers. That's the way I picked up a bunch of tricks along the way!
Great work! Paul is one in million!
love your channel and watching your progress. I tried to flush up the trim in my house when i replaced the windows. The paint will crack where the joint comes together. Its better to do a reveal to avoid this. lesson learned for me..
Brave to go Satin on the walls -- but you did a level 5 finish so satin will pop! Great work!
Awesome Hacks Gentlemen. The place is looking great.
Just completed a kitchen remodel at my daughters. IKEA cabinets and lighting. Turned out great! Nice work as usual Stud Pack crew!
I use cortex screws for this and exterior doors. The reverse thread on them allows you to shim the window perfectly by turning the screw. And they cut a plug hole in and come with plugs.
Great job guys. Just a suggestion to turn your brad nailer so it runs parallel with the trim. If and when the nail tries to bend inside the wood, it will not blow out the side.
I could watch you guys all day, fantastic channel with the new edition of the karate kid at the start , great workmanship guys cheers from Adelaide south australia.
I learned back when I was doing amateur handyman work on family homes and amateur painting my car to pull the painters tape when the paint is either completely dry (but it may chip if a hard paint like car paint) or wet (but you may get paint running onto the masked area.) My worst experience was pulling it after painting high gloss after it had "skinned." The paint just peeled right off the surface! With high or semi gloss paint, I recommend either pulling it while wet, or cutting it with a razor blade. And remember, I'm a full on amateur. 😄
Great job Paul and Zad
Yall are the best.
I pick more tips and tricks for your channel than anyone else’s channel, well maybe Perkins Brothers but yours are more channeled towards my work. Thanks again for sharing!
Luv ya boys. Me and my dad run a construction biz but skeptic about flush casing to jamb. Time will separate disregarding however much glue and fasteners. Please post one year update lol.
Very cool. Maybe we can fill nail holes sand and spray paint then install??
Great video! You may want to hold the Brad nailer in line with the board rather than perpendicular. Causes less nail pops.
You guys are really getting close to completion, I have been going along with you building my 420 sqft. tiny house, I got to move in April 1st and still have to insulate under the floors( got the R19 insulation about a week ago but with it getting around 106° callin for 110° tomarrow gonna wait until it cools off before I do that unless I feel great and start at daylight and do it alittle each morning before it gets so hot! Or I can get a lil help from family or freinds and knock it out in a weekend will likely wait until cooler weather before we do that! After that I have my interior trim and Im kinda testing and deciding where I can add extra cabinets and storage (a must in a tiny house) glad I got to see your trim videos and can not wait untill you do rest of your interior trim lower and upper , you always have good tips and tricks! I have same paint as you on walls and my trim is gonna be a dark brown I may stain it dark wood grain if it gives me the look I have in my mind, if not it will be dark brown . If it looks like I picture it in my mind it will pop! I have been doing alittle but after a year and a few months I have taken a lil break, but It is time to get back at it and finish. I was giving you time to catch up! LOL! But thank you for the videos, inspiration, and motivation . Your tips and tricks have helped me and given me confidence and so I again thank u all! See ya on the next one.
yeah man Pauls getting jiggy with us!
My dad went with a no reveal (because he didn’t know what he was doing) not as a choice. And I personally don’t prefer it, UNLESS you fill the gap between the pieces. After paint it always looks patchy, like some places it looks like it’s supposed to be solid (because the paint filled the gap) and others look like they are cracking or splitting apart (because the paint didn’t fill the gap). That’s just me, let me know if it bothered you Jordan!
Yea I wouldn't recommend doing no reveal, it always sticks out later nomatter what... You will see that line unless you patch it but that's just making a ton of extra work.
Yep if you are going the no reveal route, it needs to be filled, and sanded flush and smooth as if it’s seamless.
Yeah that made me a little uncomfortable seeing that as well, also would have liked to see an 1/8 round over on those sharp edges
@@adambell2068You will never ever get it seamless unless you spend days doing some serious cabinetry techniques like a square to square edge glued and clamped or mitered, and or splined. Then probably spackled for paint grade. There’s a reason it’s rare..
I was surprised they didn't fill it. The only way you could even fill it and have it look good is if the carpentry is perfect. Theirs is, so filling is possible and IMO mandatory.
