I like how you take pride in your work but I'm more impressed with the father/son relationship you two have 👌👍
I'm sure he cares about your opinion
@@natemartinez4595 and I'm sure he realy doesn't care about yours a*shole
@@natemartinez4595 Why the negativity? They look like they really enjoy what they do, they do a great job and the relationship between them is awesome. Everyone here really enjoying it and learning a few tips from a clear master of the trade in such a mellow manner. what's not to like?
@@Reevesi Mabe Nates mummy didn't hug him enough as a kid.
I came here to see the same thing it's heartwarming to see father and son working together and doing good work. As for Nate, dude I'm sorry your dad never hugged you.
Just have to say that rarely have I seen someone so comfortable in front of the camera as your dad. His pace, his explanations, eye contact, use of hands... it’s spot on. Excellent videos guys and fun to watch.
Thx Brian!! I wasn"t born that way, I'm actually more comfortable behind the scenes 😊
I've always found that people that are competent are also confident.... Clearly we're seeing both at play.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Very comfortable in front of the camera... Honestly just as good as a professional TV host. One thing other youtubers struggle with is unnatural/uncomfortable breathing while talking. Also, some try too hard to use fancy words or even just finding the correct words to use. You don't have any problems with that... And the acting for your "skits" isn't cringey either. Keep up the great work guys! 👍🏼
He's a master at his craft one can only hope your contractor takes such great care
Love how respectful your son is. You make a great team.
Thx sandi💪👍
I always get a kick when he calls him "dude", because my son called me that one time, and with raised eyebrows I replied "it's ""Dad"" not ""dude..."" with a cheesy grin as well because Dad joke, right!? Anyway, he must have taken me serious, because he never called me that again, or maybe he was horrified I might say it in public, or something :/
I’m a tile Installer and when I use my hand cutter I score soft not to hard or my cut won’t be as smooth the harder you pressed the rougher the cut gets
Thats what I was just typing. Some people wont realize they are increasing pressure or letting it go. Me and you do it all the time so its just muscle memory.
I also think its down to how the tiles are made.. some a fractionally harder/softer than others so they cut easier or not so easier in some cases.. good work though guys love how much your enjoying doing the work keep it going
Push just enough to get that etching sound and it’ll be good. Soft tiles will be super rough if you push too hard. Weird how that works. Everyone’s first instinct is to push hard. Took me some time to get a feel for it.
Yup, Don't put too much pressure or you can get a rough cut. Also there are some tiles that just don't snap well. Typically cheaper porcelains from big box store don't snap very well.
Ive been a General Contractor for 31 years and you guys are the only ones Ive seen to do quality tile work.
Ive had to do my own tile work to get a quality tile job done right. Good job!
sal diblasi does great work
We're out there!
same here building contractor and have always done my own tile work and i hate it.
As a Tile contractor I’m not sure why I like to watch other people work on TH-cam. Looks awesome I’m impressed with that cut 👍🏽 keep it up guys.
Thx 👍 yeah I do the same thing. Tile all day and then go home and watch tile videos 😀
@@StudPack Haha, I edit videos all day and sit watching other peoples videos that they've created/edited. You gotta love your own craft. Great work guys.
I love sitting on my butt watching other people work! It makes me feel better when I'm the one working.
@@StudPack I do the same thing I love watching your videos and I always watch people doing remodel work I believe it's taught me lots of tips and tricks as well
And you never know where you'll learn something new or find inspiration :D
That last tile was the icing on the cake. Watching you two together reminds me of many lessons from my dad.
I love the honest and transparent approach to your videos. You don’t claim to be world class experts in things you are simply good at or don’t do every single day. Yet you can tell you are indeed experts at other aspects but you allow your skills and tips to showcase that fact. It’s what makes this channel honest and awesome. PS- Paul is like the dad/ trade mentor I wish I had growing up etc. Jordan is a lucky man to have him to learn from.
Thx TJ! Comments like this keep us going 😊
Where, it looks good is not good enough, "You know me!" Love to hear that from contrator.
👊
Right? Too many people live by the "Looks good from my house" adage and it's heartbreaking. But, this guy is a damn craftsman!
Coming from a tile installer I appreciate the pride you have in your work. The cutting board will leave imperfect scores sometimes but all you can do is finish off with the tile saw. Also so you didn’t have to mess with the Dremel
The next day to re insert spacers just put them in the same day before you leave. Just make sure your edges are filled with thinset so they don’t move on you.
You guys should consider using a finished edge like a aluminum trim or a mitre so the raw edge of tile is not exposed. Beautiful cut in the crown molding by the way.
I was looking for the first comment about no tile edging. They definitely should have used them on the outside corners.
Appreciate it! Can you recommend a DIY tile cutter? Manual and electric. My skill level: Ikea furniture for a living, but want to tackle fixing up my bathroom.
Depending on how hard the tile is, sometimes the score and snap doesn't break clean, then you have to use a wet saw. But if it cuts ok and you want to clean up the edge, get a sanding/buffing wheel attached to a grinder and you can smooth those cuts real nice.
Thx Jonathan!
Dad reminds me of my old friends dad...awesome man, and one of the coolest actors I thought, as a kid, Charles Bronson...
Love him !!
Shawn, YES!! My thoughts exactly!!!
I's very rare to find a craftsman who teaches as he demonstrates. Thank you and your son for that.
The spacers that are left behind are a PITA. use a non marring mallet next time and swing hard and they snap at the base.
I cringed so hard, metal scratches stay for ever, same for smacking a level on tile, i put masking tape on mine to protect the tiles from metal scratches
This is the most wholesome channel I have found in quite a few years, awesome work and awesome production skills!
Use a stone to straighten the cut and soften the edge and it's better than a saw for most regular cuts.
I used one but I don't know how good it is.
Wet saw is good for finished edges. Mostly used the hand cutter for hidden edges like corners. Must have for flooring where you can hide the bad cuts under the baseboard.
Pops was made to be in front of the camera or he just an excellent teacher. Either way he so comfortable in front of the camera.
Pops is actually pretty shy, a behind the scenes kind of guy. Jordan brings out my YT style 😊
Echo the Impressed with both the work your doing and the father/son relationship. As a father, I hope I can create the same bond between my son and I.
💪👊
Tile job is great looking, attention to detail is awesome. The only thing I would change maybe is the tile layout pattern on the top surround around the tub and look for different angles, lines and patterns for the tile. I worked for a tile contractor , and he always recommended not having too many contrasting angles.
My mind is blown over that last piece around the molding. Thank you so much for explaining that. 🤯
You are leaving a legacy with your son! I'm sure he will carry the professional torch!!! I'm jealous in a good way!!
I have been binge watching your videos. Absolutely love what your doing! As a DIY kinda guy I truly appreciate all the tips! Keep doing what your doing!
Yeh, I went to the first video and have been binge watching them too. Don't know what I'll do when I've seen them all. Great videos
Thx Travis and Reevesi. We'll keep plugging away 👍👍 Those first videos were a bit rough sorry 😁
Really great job guys. Just a couple of observations. Those wedge spacers are good for anti lipage But they dont keep you plumb if the wall is off...gotta use a level to do that the old fashioned way.....also i would have used Schluters for the edging of tiles. For instance where the tub platform meets the vertical tile in shower and all other edges.....ive subscribed. Great channel
You guys are awesome! How cool is it to watch a Father and Son get along so well and do such good work. Makes me miss my Dad so much. Keep up the great videos too.
I love this father/son team. They do great work and are true artisans! Plus, great camera angle work and musical accompaniment!
I learned the hard way on a job, would recommend using a poly head hammer. Reduce the risk of chipping a tile edge when knocking off the wedges.
Cool thx Scott!
Card Board engineering can be used in almost any template making situation!!!!! I use it daily!
I'm a builder myself and was looking up different/new waterproofing options when I can across this series and I've ended up watching this whole bathroom rebuild so far.
Good job lads good to see fellow tradesmen taking care and pride in the services they deliver. You've earned the recognition.
Thank you Daniel 👍👍
The tile cutting board is all about the pressure and your consistency with that pressure throughout the cut and some tiles take more pressure than others it just takes time to master
Love your vids keep up the good work
For spraing water on your hole saw, a water bottle with a hole in the lid is pretty controllable. When you poke the in the led, do it from the inside for a cleaner spray.
I'm hooked on your channel. I like the way you explain what you are doing.
There are not many people that would go back and pull those 2 tiles off, you have great pride in your work, a true professional.
Thank You Mick!!
Great job , I’m from the uk and I fix all my tiles with a tube of silicon , just four Dobs all corners and four Dobs middle and is clean and very strong 💪
I can appreciate any man who would spend that much time on one tile LOL I would have notched out the wood with a multi-tool and slid my tile behind it 😂
You got way more patience than I do 😂
Congrats guys
Thx 50sKid 👊
I was so impressed with that last piece of tile that you cut. Blew my mind. Such care and attention to detail . Awesome job !!
Bathroom is looking great! I always get a strong urge to give my dad a call after watching Stud Pack!
Thx Leedogg81!! Give him a call 👍
I've spent many years being really picky and virtually OCD about any tiling jobs that I've tackled. I hardly ever see any other folk's tiling that I would even call good, but you guys have just blown me out of the water. And then you searched for the wreckage and blew that up too!
Seriously, if I ever get up to your standard of workmanship then I'll die happy!
Much appreciated Dmannic9 👍👊
As a tile installer for years I learned that a med. pressure and one continuous motion to make a clean cut as well I find adding some silicone spray to the sliding bars for the cutter will help it slide smooth. Another one too is make sure to score completely from edge to edge. Other than that y'all seem to know what your doing the bathroom turned out awesome. I Enjoy learning from you especially the pocket door vid.
Thx Jason 👍
“Hey Dad I want to take you outside and ask you about something”
Sounds like a fight
I noticed the dad has more energy in the mote current videos. Must be the excitement of the increased fan base. Well deserved.
Your meticulous attention to detail is outstanding. You guys are better than some so-called professionals. We just had our bathroom and shower done on an insurance claim and if you saw it you'd be cringing. That said, some of the crap they did can be fixed, but if I was paying the whole 10K I wouldn't give then a cent. Another great video. Steal and lobster on me guys.
Junior Stud Packs enthusiasm for the work is very refreshing today, when so many his age are spending the hours playing video games.
Yes I agree 100% Lawman 👍👊💪
Some bran new cutters are off by 1/32 or so sometimes. We will make a Mark in both ends for a 1x2’ and figure out the happy side of difference. It’s usually the bearing or wheel that flexes just a tiny bit. Smooth quick score motion helps with consistency.
Good work guys, that really looks sharp. When I use my tile cutter I take a rag and wipe the tile surface before I run the wheel across it. That helps to make a good cut.
It has the best video I've see in a while , very nice to see what you've done , explained into details and nice person too ( at least what we can see from the video . I've watched few videos , very nice , congrats , and looks an amazing job to.
Besides myself, you two experts are the only ones who ever even mention thinset slaking. Thanks. You may want to explain this more thoroughly as I'm sure many don't know what it is when you say slake. Great workmanship. It shows you care. I have four dust control recommendations that you will really like. One is the whale tail that fits onto your vac hose over the bucket you are mixing in. This simple tool allows indoor mixing of cement products. The other recommendation is to add a dust deputy to your vac. Mostly all the dust and debris will fall into the pail and not clog your vac filter. You won't believe you ever worked without it. Thirdly is a dustless sander for the drywall finishing, mine is a P-C brand but there are many on the market. Lastly, at least for your demo phase, get yourself a portable dust collector. Set it up outside and fit a piece of plywood to the window with appropriate hole for 4" hose. This will save your lungs and again you will not believe that you ever worked without it. I have wanted to share these tips with you for a long time. Great channel and work. I can provide details on where to get these items or you can find them for yourself.
Thx Robert 👍
Wale Tale ✅
Dust deputy I’ll check that out
Dustless drywall sander ditto
Exhaust fan... looking at a Build Clean but they are $$$. I’ll make my own for our next project
👍👊
Best tip to cut square ... mark both sides of the tiles and lined them up with the scoring wheel before scoring.. works 150 percent .. also always hold the center of the tile while scoring.
I noticed Jordan marking both sides especially when the cutter was out of square. I'll let him know about holding the center, thx hunterghost!!
Congratulations on being featured. It's so great to see local companies in this area getting recognized. Y'all do excellent work!
Thanks so much!
I’ve done remodeling on the side for years you’re very informative for the Lehman very very informative that’s really good
The last tile was the cherry 🍒 on the cake 🎂. Absolutely loved it. You boys are the awesome.
May God always Bless you boys🙏🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽
@16:00 genius !! 👌👍💪
Snap cutters are a life saver lol. Only score once. Make sure the starting score and ending score make good contact. Sometimes pressure is reduced while your pushing forward and the score wont be true and even at those two points. Too much pressure on the score will pass thru the glazing and cause an awkward snap. I hold my hand on the back of the tile if it is long so it dosnt shift off the spine. Long tiles can also have an arch to them which make a long snap more tricky. Variances in texture of the tile face may change the outcome a bit too. Smooth tile almost always snap cleanly. Textured faces not so much. Looks good guys good work and that scribe to the trim was a great professional detail.
I can see it now. The homeowner showing their new bathroom to people. Showing one impressive feature after another. Then, finishing off by showing that crown molding tile. Very impressive.
Now I know why you weren't using a tile break (what I call them) in your prior video. Glad you got one. Less mess, more accurate cuts, and you can cut the tile in the same room as the tile is being laid! The best tile layer we ever used didn't own a wet saw. Nothing against wet saws. I have one. But, IMHO not to have/need one is the way to go.
Thx Tony! I can't imagine tiling without a wet saw but there are some highly skilled tilesetters who simply don't need them, pretty amazing to watch 👍
Really enjoy your work. The relationship you two have is real honest and sincere. You've got a great boy who really loves his father. Thanks for all you do and all that you share!!!
watching you 2 work always reminds me of when my father and I used to do work in the house.... Keep it up guys
Thank you 👍
I am not a tile guy, but enjoyed this video. Thanks for showing how you completed the cornice. While watching the video, I wom+ndered how you would tackle that. That alone is why you can charge more for your work.
Way to go boys, that last trim piece was sweet.
Thanks Kurt!!
@@StudPack I use a dremel with the tile cutting "drill" blade and it works great - so much control
@@SNORKYMEDIA - That sounds awesome!
My husband has a lot of different Dremel tools, bits, & blades already. (The router bit is the coolest thing I've ever seen in action!)
I have a small kitchen sink tile job I need him to do for me and we're trying to figure out our options of cutting 2"x2" tiles to size wisely.
So far what seems logical to use is the "freehand" glass scorer tool, then put it in the vise and gently wack it with a hammer to get a clean cut. Having never done this before, it sounds risky....
Next is incorporating tile nippers to achieve our small cuts. Again, having no experience with this before, I'm not yet convinced it'll result in clean cuts.
Being that my entire project is only 5 feet long by 25 inches deep with a 25"x18" sink in the middle, we're certainly not getting a wet saw or even a tile snapper machine.
Can you tell me anything more about this Dremel tool attachment??
I LOVE their attention to detail and demand for PERFECTION. Great company the area is lucky to have.
Those homeowners are very lucky to have a contractor who cares about his work, and does it properly.
May I share my way of cutting the tile piece for the crown moulding:
use a oscillating saw to cut the crown moulding, instead of cutting the tile to fit . way more clean and easy.
And what do you do to the crown moulding afterwards? Sand it down and paint it? Isn’t that just as time consuming?
I was going to that until I realized that the small cove at the bottom of the crown didn't project out as far as the tile. I had to scribe that part anyways so I thought I would give the whole thing a try to see if I could do it 😁👍👊
Attention to detail, nice.
The attention to details is awesome. I’m very impressed with your work. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Love your work ethic and attention to detail...the smallest things matter...
Stumbled across this video, glad I did these guys are cool 😎 and they both are knowledgeable and know what their actually talking about
Nice to see youtube gave you guys a shout out. You guys make great content.
Thanks Lord Ginger!
Omg that sliver cut dough!!! Super easy to crack during the cut. Nice work. I grew up laying tile with my pops. Cherish those moments forever. You guys are awesome !!
Yep, along with these others, congratulations. Very nice tiling job and a very cool tool. I know your customer is going to be very pleased 👍🏼
Thank you DIY King👍
You two are great and the videos are too......True craftsman doing the best job possible covering it all. I've done many home projects but nowhere near as good as you do.....
Thx Rich 👊
I always press down pretty hard to score tile on my boss's tile snapper, otherwise it doesn't make a clean cut or shatters the tile. Look at the line before you snap it, make sure it's consistently scored.
And I like the. Way Hess cleaning those tile edges before setting that tile don't have to worry about alot of joint cleaning later safes a ton of time . Hes Definitely a pro
hey Guys , i just LOVE your video's
the interaction between father and son is amazing
the work is awesome
greetings from Frank from Belgium
Thanks for watching frank !!
You can set the sponge against the hole bit instead of just splashing it in. Just a tip. Also works with angle grinder. After a bit of practice you’ll be doing it one handed.
Also I watch a lot of your videos and you guys do top notch work. For not being tile guys you do, Bravo!
Hey Paul, We love you guys!!!..you are awesome!.. my son and I provide a handyman service in pinellas county Florida. I love working with my son and it's great to see you and your son have such a great working relationship. Thank you so much it gives me a lot of hope. Thanks for all the tips and shortcuts and great ideas I really appreciate it as I know you do if I see anything I can offer I will happily do so looking forward to many more awesome videos!! thank you so much!!

With the tile cutter give you an unclean edge, I noticed with mine that I get a better clean break if I keep the foot close to the end of the tile when snapping it. If you get 2 or 3 inches from the edge where the foot depresses the tile you get a rougher break. I am just guessing at this point but I think the speed of the break is faster when you snap it from the edge of the tile and you don't get the little flakes. Love the channel guys.
Love how to two get along, dope to see. Love the Of Mice and Men tee as well… sick band!
Nobody commented on the amazing tile you cut that ran into to slope of the deck? That was amazing.
Yeah we had some nice comments about it. Thanks Jay 👍
I use snap cutters every day for my tile work, I'm a tile setter in New Zealand. The key I've found with any score & snap cutter is to have easy, even pressure, especially when your scoring wheel is new and sharp. As you use it more, the blade "tames" or dulls, where you can put a little more pressure. Different tiles also affect how much pressure you should put on your scores, but regardless of how much downward pressure you put while scoring, the most important thing is to put very very even pressure while scoring to get that perfect cut every time :) hope that made sense
Congratulations on 'Creator of the Day'. You guys definately deserve it. Awesome work as usual. Looks great.
Thx Reevesi!!
with the tile cutter if its a new wheel it will be very sharp so don't press so hard in till the wheel has time to where in also the softer the tile the less pressure you need . The tile cutter will make cutting around windows a breeze .
tiler from aus here, have you guys checked out the sigma tile cutters? i have found they are really good to use and you can do slight adjustments to keep it cutting straight and also you get adjustments to cut on certain degree angles, great for doing herring bone or anything that requires allot of 45 degree cuts etc.
Thx Jimmy. I'll check them out 👍
If you can get them I think Thickster brand blue gloves are the best. We get them here in California from most tile shops. Pretty durable and probably last 3-4 jobs per pair for me. I usually don’t wear them unless I’m floating or grouting or setting while it’s super cold but for those they are perfect.
Congratulations on creators of the day ! And great work.
Thank You Rbarr!!
Hey Paul thanks for the speedy reply. The one I have is from Penn State. Works great.
Awesome thx Robert 👍
That is AMAZING! What your doing with the tile.
I'm loving this channel, what you're teaching us, plus the entertainment factor!
😁😁
I've been a subscriber for a while and have thoroughly enjoyed your content. You are so blessed to be able to be with your son day in and day out. Reminds me of a time long ago when my son worked with me. I miss those times.
Thanks Bart really appreciate that!
On your scribe cutter getting ruff edge ? Don’t move the scribe handle left or right ! Check out this waterproof system saves you all the time. Ardex 8+9 isolation cracked membrane waterproof!
Great work guys!
Great cut on the crown. You could've used your multi tool and cut 3/8 out the back of the crown on the return and slid the tile back behind it. Easy peasy
16:45 Wow! Just Wow!
Honestly, you do a way better job than most of the professionals I know.
They wouldn't bother with the complicated finicky cuts and just grout everything...
Thx Tim 👍
@@StudPack Still doesn't change the fact that as a german I really dislike the american "paper-mache" way of building houses.
I need my concrete and brick walls.
When I spend sometime in Canada I moved into the basement, at least there I had a nice cold concrete wall 😂
But it has it drawbacks, e.g. a new window is a real pain in the butt if possible at all.
A saw wouldn't suffice.

On your tile wetsaw. its better to have the water pumo in a bucket of clean water, the tray is for catching the used waster & grit only. The pump will last longer and I think the blade works better with clean water too. Thats why you see pumps for sale next to the tile saws, the grit in the water destroys the pump when its used in the catch pan.
all you need to do that is a piece of clear hose and a brass hose barb to join on the longer section of hose. I've had me wet saw setup that way from when it was new and the water pump is still working fine.
That last tile detail, just beautiful.
I have been doing Tile and many other projects and I still learn from you. great job
Thx Eddie 👍👊
That’s quality workmanship.
Wow, twice as fast, now you can charge half as much...think of all the work you will have and all the customers you will make so happy :)
You are a braver man than i using a hard head hammer on those levelers. I did that and chipped a tile knocking them out, after that I switched to a rubber mallet for knocking the leveling pegs out.
New to the channel. Love your video and more importantly, love seeing a man and his son working together
Thank you Gary 👍
I've got those tile setter hands right now too. Nice job guys, lookin good !!
Thanks Bradyn !
