He makes such great DIY vids. His detailed description is just what I needed. I also like when he cuts in with just audio to add even more important details. Thanks Josh.
You are welcome Paul. I appreciate your comment. I did take a lot of time to try to make my videos thorough. Be sure to subscribe for more videos to come!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Subscribed and liked, and will continue to do so on other videos. Thanks again.
Dude thank you your painfully descriptive keep up the energy !!!
Love the shelves idea. They look great. Thanks.....from England
Josh, you make tiling look so easy and now that I have the confidence to do it myself, I will be starting my shower tiling job after I waterproof everything. Using Kerdi system. Thanks for your videos.
Great series❤
Wow beautiful work
Excellent idea about the shelves.
Thanks so much for this so well explained job. I'm watching all the five parts. Again thanks a lot.
You’re welcome. I’ve put as much detail as I can into these videos to help people do this on their own. Good luck with your project!
Oboy so much work and detail ,ill give you a call 😂
Great video!! Love the idea of making shelves from the tiles themselves! I have a couple questions:
-How strong are these? Would you use this method for a leg shaving foot rest?
-have you considered miter cutting the front edges of the uncapped shelves, and of the caps themselves, to hide the visible edge of the cap piece? You wouldn’t even need to do it on the bottom tile, as that side of the cap is hidden-but I have to think it would improve the look of the front edge of the shelf. Is there a reason to NOT do it with a miter?
Thanks again for the great video!!
Hey Josh,
Great job with your videos. I'm 34 yrs a union carpenter. Well versed in all aspects of residential construction. Tho I've tiled in some of my 29 flips, I still found your videos to be helpful as refreshers. As all showers are NOT created equal, lol. I do have a couple suggestions for you tho.
1. I always make sure to establish my 2nd course control line "from the lowest corner" of the shower pan. That way if it's out more than 1/8, tiles can be scribed and cut in to keep the pan caulking gap even end to end.
2. I either use my finger or a carp pencil to remove at least a ¼" of thinset on all tile edges before setting the next tile. Much easier than trying to remove excess after stacking or butting tiles.
3. Use a laser level for your videos. Much better than a 4' Empire. Yup, kinda bustin yor nads a little lol.
I did subscribe. Keep up the good work !

Funny how you measure small areas starting on the 1. Been doing that for a long time on detail projects like tile. Tape measures always have that little bit of play which can make a difference. Great detail Josh. 👍🏻
Burning an inch was taught to my by my father many moons ago. Works great for something like this. You appreciate the detail in my videos and that makes me glad I add them :)
@@TheExcellentLaborer taught by my father as well and my father-in-law who was a builder as well. Loved learning so much from tradesman.
@14:05 he even burns two inches! I’m surprised someone hasn’t asked in the comments about how that works. 😂
Is there video of how to make and install a corner seat similar to this shelf except larger. I’m installing a shower pan and I want a corner seat. Any suggestions?
What about adding a shelf to a pre-existing tile shower?
every time I see you I can't take my eyes off of you....such a handsome man.
Thank you!
@@TheExcellentLaborer - do you only fan account?
Sounds like someone is getting excited when you say to “hammer that ‘like’ button”!! 😂
So my shower base has a slope so do I pull my measurements from my low point to start my second row and then cut my tile to the slop on my bottom run
Yes Baby! I'm the 900th Likke!
What do you do if your tile is a different color on the back side than the front side? We’re installing white and the exposed tile back is a light orangey color. So the face doesn’t look as nice.
if you install your corner shelf on the top of the course/row of tiles below, you hide the exposed cut in the wall tile.
You do an amazing job man and there's no question about that. But that first shelf with the main and inside tile insert has the slightest offset and my o.c.d just absolutely cringed 😂 I understand the difficulty of the cut and the install so please don't take this comment as disrespectful. It was just something I noticed. Keep up the good work!
How strong is this shelf? I'm curious if my kids pull or lean on it, will they pull the shelf off the wall?
No impossible only thing could happen the face of the shelf gone fail i never built my shelf this way look shit so i put shluter trim it never fail this way

After watching this series, I am now convinced, without question that I am going to pay someone to tile my shower stall. :D Currently my shower, ceiling and walls are all one kind of small tile. Is there any recommended alternatives to tile for the exterior walls outside of the shower / ceiling that can save costs? I feel like paying a professional to tile an entire bathroom would be crazy money.
There is really no cheaper alternative when it comes to material per se. You could use beaded board on the outside of the shower around the bathroom for looks. The tile is really the best option for in the shower but yes you will have a good bit of money in labor. I hope that helps!
Lol this is a funny comment. Tiling is easy to mess up. These professionals make it look easy.
I highly recommend you give it a try. Jst knowledge up and take your time. Not only is it emotionally rewarding, it is extremely economically rewarding. Good tile guys are very expensive. But that's generally because they are much more efficient. If you have the time, it will be well worth your while 🙂
Curious why you used silicone instead of mortar to adhere the face on?
The silicone gives a cleaner look because you do not want exposed thin set in this area. I hope that helps!
Thinset is not meant to be subjected to repeating wet dry cycles. It will break down
@@scottcoates7978 the premixed thinset/mastic you are correct. The powder form thinset is cement based and has no issue with water. The premixed is for things like kitchen backsplashes where minimal water contact happens.
Please go to your local stone yard who has quartz and granite and get two cm solid surface material with a polished Edge made for your shelves. Way more professional.
I have been looking for ideas for my tub / shower corner shelf and I don't think I'm going to be doing this just doesn't look right
Ya I’ll just buy the premade shelf. What a pain
