- Hey Gang!
First off we want to Thank You for 100,000 subscribers! We've been working hard for about 2 years building this channel and we're super grateful for the support you show us! Know we're not stopping anytime soon, and we're shooting for 1 million next!
Second, we're starting a PodCast! We know there are a LOT of podcasts out there, but what's going to separate ours is the resourcefulness of the podcast itself. It's not an outlet for us to talk about what we believe or talk about what we have going on, the podcast is for the community. We want this to be a helpful tool for people who need a little help and just can't find any, and we're very excited about it.
Last, of course in this video you see us installing this TV in our custom wall niche for our Kitchen. It came out phenomenal and we learned a lot along the way! We hope you enjoyed figuring this out with us, and let us know if you'd do anything differently! Thanks so much for watching, and we'll see ay in the next one!

Great video guys. To solve the "line of sight" problem, you could use an IR repeater - they work great. Mount the receiver end on the front side and then stick the emitters to the components behind the TV. This would allow you to put the cable box, a DVD player, etc in the pantry and still have working remotes. Congrats on hitting 100K - well deserved indeed.
IR Repeater, googled it, solved my problem! Tnx!
Yup - I think back in the day it was called an IR Blaster. Used at my parents when they put a cable box in a cabinet. Has a battery transmitter that picks up the IR signal the remote gives out and transmits to a a device that sends out the IR signal. Not sure how much different they are today (seems they can be used with Alexa/Google home now) but it worked very well and recommend if you have a line of site issue with IR.
From this day forth you shall be known to me as “Stud Crack”
Holy cow, I love your videos fellas it’s like crack, lol they are addicting.
You guys NEVER disappoint!
Total PROS!!!
Every time I thought of an issue with what you were doing you answered it 2 seconds later. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Hi! Guys! I'm just a simple lady. I will never do any of the work you guys do, but I like to learn from your channel. It helps me to better understand what a handyman might be doing in my home, so he can't BS me. Plus, it gives me a greater ability to supervise. :-) Thanks guys!! Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers!!
Much appreciated Janet 👍👊
You can have the same resource for your car by searching UA-cam just using the year, make and model. That way anything that anybody posted on your particluar car will come up.
First 100K is the toughest!
Glad to see the positive ventilation... When you first stuck the TV in the niche heat buildup popped right into my head!
It’s not that much heat…two fans is overkill.
@@envisionelectronics Perhaps, but it's better than no fans in this case!
Love how this TV looks on the wall! Great idea to put frames around fans - looks professional and completed.. 👍
If you want that coax running closer to the wall (in pantry), they sell 90° coax adapters. Beautiful job guys!
Returning a favor for all of the tips you guys offer: To avoid damaging the threads when cutting a threaded rod/bolt thread two nuts onto it and tighten them down onto each other. You can then place it in a vise or use vice-grips to hold onto it without damaging the threads.
Old, old trick that I'm surprised Stud Pack didn't remember. I'm sure he's done that before.
Definitely a good one of you need the thread in tact.
He might not have a vise mounted in the truck. I think that's why we didn't seem him utilize that technique. But your comment wasn't wasted as it was a very good reminder to me.
y'all work very well together father and son you can't beat it. Thank you for sharing
That was dang smart the way you thought ahead about heat management and electronics. Didn't even cross my mind. Clever solution there.
Thx Nate 👍
I have 90 year old hot water radiators and I made rad covers with just 1X3 dimensional lumber and a piece of MDF for the top! yours and other videos gave me the inspiration. After staining and painting, it turned out great.
I like the small DC fans to circulate air around the TV IDEA.
I felt really silly carrying my 50" Tv around Lowe's to get the right size all thread to fit my tv.
Just kidding, but if it where me, I would want access to all the ports on the back. In case I want to add a fire stick, or roku, or USB, or hdmi or whatever.
👍
Yep, easily done using a utility cover as done for water faucets, water mains, etc. Good point.
Man my contractor is busy but I had so much faith in him that I’m sleeping on a couch for a year just for him to work on weekends in my house
And now I’m going I’m there and I’m seen not even one drywall straight
Everything is so crooked that I get motion sickness
And all those small details that been done wrong and make me act like an ocd or so .But their bill is always perfectly even.
I’m trying to say that you are awesome and you are what we call professional ..there is still hope in humanity.God bless you and whom ever take their work seriously and have the talent to make it look even more serious .
The rise of this channel has been amazing and I'm here for it! I often think it would be worth it to pay for your expenses to come to Kentucky to do some big work for me! LOL
Keeping you guys in my thoughts as y’all prepare for Ida! Stay safe guys!
As a Canadian, it feels good hearing you guys saying centimetres 🤣🤣😅
As a US-ian, I've tried to switch over to metric for my own home over time. Going to the hardware store is much less stressful when all I need to remember it M2/M3/M4 and length rather than getting my fractions mixed up.
amazing attention to detail. I have been binge watching the Entertainers Remodel and I have learned so much. Thank you
Great idea and look really nice; however i can see the fan setup with 2 problems: Heat dissipaters are normally located on the grill (the area you just cover with the fans); 1) forcing hot air into the grill would warm up internal components that were not design it for that. 2) If for some reason the air has a lot of moisture, or dust, or small bugs, they all will be "sucked" into the TV causing damages. I'll suggest to change the direction of the flow to extract air, instead of pushing it.
Infrared remote solution, you can purchase "IR repeaters" for a few bucks powered off of USB port of TV. In this installation for instance you could've put the cable box in the pantry place one IR sender at the cable box and and one IR receiver on the outside edge of your flat-panel TV. As each IR sensor it's about 1/4 inch square it would be virtually unnoticeable.
That’s a good idea. I occasionally have to press a little red button on my cable box to reset it. Having the box in the pantry would make that task easier. You wouldn’t have to remove the tv to access the cable box.
This is one of my favorite things to do, and you guys killed it! 1 tip, use 4"PVC in the fan channel to give it a finished look.
I would cover the exposed drywall and plywood from creating the 8 inch holes for the fans with house wrap tape to avoid having anything getting picked up by the airflow running over them . I would also get some magnetic computer fan dust filters to go over the fan guards to keep dirt from entering the niche. This will allow you to remove the dust filters occasionally for cleaning like you need to do with the air filters on a portable a/c unit.
Congrats on the 100k subscribers! Almost exactly 1 year ago, my main water line broke at my rental property under the sidewalk..I searched and watched that 2 part video jetting for the bathroom drain. It's been awesome to see you guys go from around 10k subscribers to over 100k in the past year! Always appreciate your advice and looking forward to your future growth!
Awesome thx John 👍
@@StudPack what's up studpack
Yoooo a podcast announcement and a super clean install all in one video??? Come on now!!! Woooohooooo
Congratulations from The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg! We love you and keep up the great work Stud Pack team! 💯
The problem I have with installing TVs inside openings like this is they die. Replacement TVs do not always have the same mounting dimensions. Your idea of the plywood in the future is a step in the right direction, I do the same with under-cabinet appliances. Even better if you can find a way to incorporate a hinged mound, then the TV can be swung out for maintenance.
Always install a surge protection outlet to protect the TV and other electronics. For a future project I think you could create a drop down tilt out frame with hidden hinges and safety chains to support the TV and give easy access for future upgrades or support. I look forward to more crafty projects.
Good ideas thx Jim 👍
You guys are awesome I'm hook and nost of all I'm learning so much in every video thanks for all you do. God bless
Paul, I once had to "activate" an AV receiver in a closet across the room from where the tv was in the opposite direction for viewing. Took me a while to figure out how to accomplish that feat. Ended up using a 1/4" round strand of fiber optic strung thru the ceiling. One end was at the TV, just below the right bottom corner, other end was in the closet across the room and pointing at the receiver. I actually didn't think it would work but I was surprised at how well it did . . . IR is 1000x brighter than visible light and has no problem traveling thru the fiber. Keep up the great work, you two are the Bomb.
Thx much appreciated 👍👊
I see you guys have gone all in with the CA glue. Bet you wish you would’ve found that stuff years ago. I know I love it and use it all the time!
Great job and congrats on the 100k!
The only change I would've made is to use white fans, then it disappears into the pantry a bit better. I guess you could always just spray paint them white but white just seems better to me for this application.
Big fan from South Africa!
Awesome job, guys. Imagine doing this with a 70-incher. 🤜💥🤛
Man! that turned out great guys and love the cooling fan idea. Congratulations on 100K+ and I love seeing how quickly this channel has grown. Excellent job!!
Fan trim is looking good. Good idea. Kids know how to trim out fans. I remember plasma and the weight… omg.
I remember the first generation LCDs that came after Plasmas. They would get HOT. Like they would heat up an entire room by themselves.
If I was doing that in my home I would have used a gaming monitor with an IR remote hooked to the cable box instead of a TV. The cable box will handle all the channels so you do not really need a "TV" to view the content. And for a live wall experience the faster response and smoothness you can get from a gaming monitor will really bring that wall to life. But would require a little more work and cable management. Only downfall to that is gaming monitors do cost a bit more, but a far better quality then a standard TV. But awesome idea overall and the finished work look also looked awesome. The Trim for the fans brought it all together. I really enjoy soaking up idea like these. Thank you!
David… I never even THOUGHT to use a gaming monitor for a smaller sized Tv, especially in an application like this. You can’t beat the response times and refresh rates. Awesome comment 💪🏼
I have absolutely nowhere in my house that this will work, but now I want it.
Maybe you could fudge it by surface mounting the TV and framing it with moulding? That way it looks like a picture hanging on the wall.
Great job! Not that anyone doubted you... but that is a small clearance and you guys nailed it! And love your idea of doing a window instead and mounting it all to a sheet of plywood. Cheers!
Hope you guys and your families are safe this week in light of Ida. Hope to see you soon!
We’re good thx Roger 👍
Love it. I did something similar but left a 1.5 inch gap all the way around my 55 LG CX OLED. No fans at all and never had a heat issue. Used a low profile bracket and it puts it right at finish wall level.
Excellent work ,only thing I might adjust is the fan direction.Following the design of a processor and fan in a pc .it pulls air away from the chip ,it helps with dust management
Love it fellas! Congrats again on 100K!!! Stay safe during the storm headed your way. Much love from Houston.
Your channel deserves a million subscribers
Congratulations! the trim on the fans looks great and I like the idea of mounting the TV on a piece of Plywood. Thanks!
when I do those and need line of sight I use IR repeaters for the cable box, I love how you did this one.
Just returning back to congratulate you again on 100K 1 year ago and now you're sitting at 505K! I've watched pretty much every video almost and still working through them like an episode series! I highly recommend organizing your studpack videos into series/focus areas whether its flooring, drywall, or other. Categorizing helps us tackle projects in the right order that make sense similar to how y'all would tackle them! Just an idea and look forward to watching Jordan's house come along.
That looks really clean. I actually did something similar but to accommodate all of my electronics, the TV mounts to a full motion mount to an in wall cabinet where I have game systems and whatnot. That way no electronics will be seen and it looks really modern
This is a very cool look, but I would hate not being able to use the shelf space on the other side. I have a "samsung frame" at my house which is a flat mount tv that functions as a picture frame when not used as a tv - install was much easier, only sticks out 1" and looks just as good - I'm sure it cost less also after considering how much time you guys spent on this.
Why cant you use the shelf on the backside? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Maybe I missed it, but I would flip one of the fans. Given how tight the TV fits, you won't get much flow. The efficiency of airflow when one is flipped is pretty dramatic. Keep up the good work! Best
I just found your channel today and I live in N.Idaho and it's 10/8/2023.
Paul and son. I can't thank you enough. Too much good stuff!
Love the way y'all did this! Looks great!
I just noticed y'all are already up 5k more. you're on your way. I am always so happy to see good, fair and deserved success.
Looks great but in a few years, the owner is going to be driving around looking for a tv the exact same size as that one to replace it. I've seen that scenario countless times when people have cabinets built exactly to fit their fridges then can't find one to replace it without major work.
(With tongue-in-cheek) yes but building custom cabinetry for appliances etc. means that you is a remodel are bound to get return business when they can't find that new refrigerator to fit.
@@mackfisher4487 They should buy a spare now :)
I would hope that they bought another identical TV to have as a spare.
@@bigneilh I was actually thinking the same thing get a tv or 2 and let them sit but honestly I'm sure finding a tv that fits wouldn't be that hard time anything they could go a bit smaller and split the difference on the reveal.
@@michaelb2401 Yeah you are probably right but things get weird with bezels and all. TV's can't be that much money for that size. Also not a simple drop in replacement if its a different make and model for an average homeowner. I bet by the time the first one dies, they will mount a bigger one right over the hole - NOT studpack style :)
I was planning on installing my TV in the same way you just showed me. Love it thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS Fellas on 100,000 !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🎂 🎈 🎉
Outstanding and deservedly so!
On a less positive note; I am hoping and praying for y’all down there with Ida bearing down! Hope y’all stay safe! Peace.
Thx George 👍
You could consider an in wall tv mount. Its how I did mine. It has built in knockouts to attach j boxes. I have a panel on a barndoor track that covers it when its not in use. Art work on the panel with 2 recessed lights spotting the art when its covering the tv. All my low v cable go to a built in cabinet that has fans similiar to what you used (pull fan at the bottom, push fan at the top) . It also has a lcd thermostat that controls the fans with the temp and fan speed adjustments. Excellent video! Love watching you guys
Congrats boys. Love your work and your channel!!! I forward your videos to everyone. Hopefully you get to 1 million Jordan. Good luck gents!!
Congrats on 100+k! Can't wait for the podcast! First day subscribe for me! Hope you'll still regularly release these videos; am eager to see work at the Brothers' sunken place.
Thx Sean 👊
Great Job, father and son team!
You guys do excellent work! 👏 Thanks!
Awesome guys !! I am so happy for you two ... I look forward to every new video, the 1st one I watched was when you two remodeled the garage ... that got me hooked ! Stay safe Ida is headed your way ...
LOL Rob England beat me to the suggestion. The method that he is describing can be used on so many applications and is def. the way to go. Also, this method is often utilized when controlling something from any location via wireless... even 120v supplies. Thumbs up to Rob. And Paul, the method that you have suggested for the next time IS the better way. A telescoping/adjustable backing board is an ideal application for when a change out is required. Your vids are gettin' prime, boys. Yes Jordan.. the 1/4 Rnd was good choice. I laughed when you said to paint the acorns "white". Kid.. you're outta control! lol
Great tutorial! Looks outstanding!
Love what I see, you guys are masters at what you do. This video alone deserves a subscription.
You could also install the TV on to a cantilever wall mount inside the wall. That way, the user could pull the TV out further and rotate it to change the viewing angle, if they so wish
They talked about that towards the end of the video.
Love your guys attention to details, wish there were more contractors like you!! Just hope that TV lasts a long time, will have to modify again for the next one.
A Big Hello from Boston!!!!
You 2 are great to watch...Paul seeing you evolve from your first few videos, you look super comfortable in front of that camera now...great flow....are the projects you do on your house or customers? God Bless
Thx Clinton 👍
Client’s houses
The podcast set sounds pretty reverberant at the moment. Treating your studio with some sound-absorbing material to cut down on the reverb would make a good episode ;)
Been mentioned a couple times already, but I'm curious how the audio on the TV sounds being enclosed like it is - Perhaps a recessed sound bar might be in order for future projects?
Hi Paul, don't forget to tune in the 'rain channel ' watch it rain all day !
Congrats on 100K! It's been great following along as you have built a channel from scratch.
On this TV build...
The articulated TV mount sounds like a great idea. Also a great solution when there is no rear access.
++ Gaming monitor ... and soundbar. (Optional backlight behind frosted PC/Lexan?)
Have you looked at any Magic Mirror builds? Put those ideas together and you're already next level...
I stumbled on your channel because I have huge goals on my first house and I want to redo everything in it and your channel has helped me bridge the gap and some things I didn’t know. This video was awesome because I like the idea of putting the TV in a wall but I would make some slight modifications to your idea. Putting a little trim around the TV like a picture frame type trim to match the rest of the trim to hide the black plastic of the TV would look amazing. And if you turn one of those fans around it would create a neutral fan set up with equal push and pull pressure so if dust were to accumulate it would not pop out in front of the TV. Like I said I love your channel and I’m definitely going to go back and watch a few videos just to make sure I’m doing something right lol keep it up guys!
Congrats on all those subscribers! You may be able to guess by my username, I like TV sets. Beautifully done.
Don't add extra lights. More power bill, even more heat and... tacky. Simple is always better.
Last, I have a soft spot in my head for successful father and son relationships.
Congratulations! You deserve it. The quality of your work is what got you here and it will get you to 1 million subscribers in no time. Keep up the good work.
Be safe you guys with the storm IDA heading your way!! We will be praying for you & the coast..
11:02 Great JOB for thinking about and addressing the heat a tv produces. Myself, I’m partial to Noctua fans b/c they last, are pretty quiet, & can get in even small tiny dimensions (think 20-30 mil is smallest they have…tiny) but I’d say any fan is better than zero fans. This step is what ppl don’t do, and love the attention to detail!
Devils in the details and Stud Pack nails them every time👍🏻
✌🏻
Cool thx 👍👊
I was thinking I hadn’t really seen this done too much and then I remembered that one of the offices my company has actually has TVs about this size in niches. And the funny thing is neither TV has a cooling solution…I guess that’s probably why we have trouble with one of them all the time…it could be overheating. Anyway good job with the TV installation, looks nice and clean!
I love this.
A couple weeks back I had to hang a FSTV that was in a recessed situation but over a fireplace. The old tv was not as large as the new one, but it was a plasma. Lead anchor.
The new one had 3/8” reveal on either edge and because the mounting brackets bolt pattern was different it became a pain to still have adequate clearance on bottom, but the top reveal needed to still be proportionate to the bottom.
Making everything a pita, they refused to accept my insistence regarding tilt only vs articulating.
This was already a huge irritant at the start. The strings from the release mechanism had been removed. So removing the first television took way too much work.
What should’ve been a 30-60 minute gig stretched to hours, and up charging was expressly stated wasn’t acceptable.
I should’ve walked. But being a man of my word I accepted the learning curve as partial payment and carried on.
Later, they asked if I would take the BROKEN, plasma. With LEDs I occasionally say no problem, if they work, they can sell for a few bucks, if they don’t the fresnel lens is fun for projects as are some of the LED strips and recycling isn’t an issue, and they typically will offer $20.
This guy offered $20, and before I was done his wife took off, when it was time to leave he tells me he only had $6!
I should’ve said keep your cash AND the TV. But being nice, I said, $6 is better than $0.
I hadn’t ever opened a plasma, so I didn’t know it was only a heavy glass lens and other useless heavy steel structure along with all the useless circuit boards.
Literally, the next 3 customers ALL were replacing Plasma TVs. They all also wanted them gone. At least these were functional, but still, I learned that goodwill etc DON’T ACCEPT TELEVISIONS.
I thought CRT wasn’t desired, but no one wants anything. The recycling guy I finally found wanted more than I charged these people to take this shit off their hands!
Anyone want a free plasma FSTV?
I was waiting to see this came out...awesome job
105K subscribers Friday August 27, 2021. Happy you do the podcast. excited to see what you guys come up with next. Congratulations!!!
Watching this at 425 thousand. Just found you today. Very likeable. ❤️
Nice job and love the trim around the fans.I think I would add an access door tok where wiring hooks up so that you wouldn't have to remove t.v. in case you need to get in.
I would cover the screws with a white box that pops on and off. the T.v. and everything was awesome, loved the trim on fans.
Congratulations Guys!! Thank you for cooling it, lol. Nice clean work my friends! If there is room for this, I'd add a jam nut on the studs, to lock them to the TV. So, if you need to pull the TV later, the studs stay with the TV, it 'MIGHT' be easier this way. You could have larger holes for studs in wall for easier placement. Fender washers will conceal it. Still awesome to see pride in workmanship. A+!
I will admit the idea is a lot cooler now that I've seen the finished product versus when you were just talking about it.
Sharp dad and son! This is America!!!
I love the tv in that niche! I was worried about the heat, but you guys figured it out. But…. What about the speakers? The tv will sound strange with speakers blocked off by the niche??
Exactly what I was thinking! Also why did he have to cut notches for the fans when he could have just ran the fan wires thru the holes he made for the fans?? Lol!
@@number1pappy Was thinking the same about the fans, had to go back and check. The two fans are connected to one cable so the notches was the way to go
Those 120mm fans generally have a shorter lifespan than a TV. The TV may last for ten years, but the fans won't last more than five or six before they die. Making the trim friction-fit is a great idea, to make replacing the fan easy; just leave enough slack in the fan's power cord to be able to pull it out from the pantry, disconnect it, and replace it, otherwise you'd have to take the whole TV out of the niche.
I'd also plan for a better outflow than just the reveal around the screen. To best vent that heat - and an LCD TV can create a lot of heat - you need a dedicated vent at the top of the niche. Whether it vents into the room, or into the pantry, it should be above the TV, since warm air rises. Placing the intake fans low on the back of the TV as you did in this case is optimal; you're pulling in cool air from the bottom. Venting hot air is best done at the top.
Also be careful of wire, cable, and box placement. No electronics like heat, so the boxes and other devices should be mounted as low as possible in the niche to keep them cooler, or better, outside the niche entirely so they're out of the hot zone. And any wiring or cables you wrap up in the niche can obstruct the airflow, and will gather a huge amount of dust, which can be a fire hazard around hot electronics, so it's better to keep as much of the cabling out of the hot zone as possible.
Awesome job guys !
A Dremel with a cutoff wheel is nice for cutting threaded rod & screws, and any thin metal.
Hope all good after the storm!
Awesome news guys! Congrats on 100k!!! Amazing milestone . Keep doing everything you're doing! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love to see two hardworking dudes get success. Very good content.
Hey guys, for the podcast, not to be a critic, however, as a sound/video tech out of French Settlement, put some sound dampeners, cheap foam egg crate mattress, on the forward walls and along the ceiling along the wall about a foot wide wrap. Keeps the slapback or room reverb/echo from being so bad. Also, your back drop should be either sound board or a tight pile carpet of some type.
Fantastic, excellent idea and work, I learn a lot from you, congratulations.
Thx 👍👊
Neet job. Not that you need my suggestions - especially now that the job is done but you could have installed a solid panel to conceal the fans and mounting hardware. Drill holes in a grid pattern for airflow and mount it to a couple of cleats on the wall. It would eliminate the use f that little shelf but it might have been a cleaner look. Now don’t get me wrong, I think the trim rings look great, but I heard my wife’s voice in my head when I saw the finished product and she said “can you do something about those screws?” It’s always something with her. LoL.
when I was in college many of the professors said the same thing over and over. they all talked about how much better they understood their subject after teaching it to others. it causes them to look at what they know in different ways. that is an education you just can't get any other way. you guys are amazing and how do you find the time to do all this and live life too?
Another great one. Be safe with this weekend with the hurricane coming. Looking forward to the podcast
Cool thx brother 👊👍
Also pro tip - if you have a cable box that requires line of sight, you can get an IR repeater instead of making sure the cable box is exposed - one side mounts to the cable box, and the other end is what you mount in an accessible location. They're very small and easily hidden around the frame of the TV, or someplace else that is inconspicuous.
Nice looking install on the screen side. Not too bad in the pantry, but it could be much cleaner. Mount the electrical and cable boxes sideways through the top of the niche frame, then the TV just plugs into them on the inside of the niche. Or use a shallow box to put the outlets on the rear of the niche. But hide the electrical and cable boxes, makes for a much nicer look in the pantry. The fans are a great idea, but why not recess them in the wall? Doing that would make a cleaner appearance in the pantry. And as someone else mentioned, put a cover over the drywall left so there's no dust being driven into the TV. Also, make one fan a push, the other a pull, placed in opposite corners. You'll get good cooling but less air escaping out from the niche. See, we can Monday quarterback this all day long! LOL
The podcast is ambitious. I see it as a way to eventually move away from actually doing so much labor on houses as you create an income stream from offering advice and tips. Good luck!
That's Awesome! Looks sharp, nice clean lines and very innovative solving the heat problem! I was super impressed with the wall thickness. I've done them in 2×6 walls with pull out/tilting brackets, but I always feel like it's lost square footage, especially when your doubling the thickness of an exterior wall just for that feature. As for the cable box, most modern boxes should have an IR (infrared remote) port where you can plug in a tiny device to extend the remote range these, are great for hidden components.
Y’all are doing great!!!! Been watching since the beginning and y’all have come a long way with your UA-cam channel. Can’t wait for the podcast.
