This type of content had me watching long before the dream house build. As much as we all love seeing the house build, a change up was a welcome surprise too.
Ok so I was taught that you always hold a Brad/finish nailer perpendicular to the edge of the board you are nailing into, as the brads will bend left or right but not forwards or backwards. Then you don’t have to worry about blowouts. Anyone else?
In the movies they call those “shiners”! I worked on a few movies and shiners are a no no! And youre right about holding the gun perpendicular! Same goes for staple guns and framing nailers! Sometimes though it just doesnt matter how you hold it and it goes where it wants!
Not that we're tired of Jordan's house or anything, but it is great to see some different unique builds from time to time. Stirs up a lot of creativity. 🙂
Hey, Team Stud Pack. I noticed in this video that Paul still doesn't have a lumber rack for his truck. I have a rack to spare. I'd be glad to bring it to you when I come to Texas in early 2024. I don't have a fixed date to make the trip, but if you want it let me know an early Spring date range that might work for you and let's see if we can connect. Glad to help with the project in any way I can help. My dad was a general contractor/ jack of all trades too and I'm really enjoying the father and sons programming. You all seem to have a great family and very supportive siblings and spouses. Great to see a hard working American family, raising kids to prosper in a modern world. Paul, my dad wouldn't have understood this CZcams channel as a vocation either. Good for you to go with your kids into the unknown and share your life and work experiences with them.
As someone single-handedly building my own home, I know the importance of stepping away from the project and just doing something that makes you feel good!! Great video guys!!
Really cool to see a switch up from the house/garage build. Awesome to see you all out helping some people too. Thanks for taking the extra time to show us this! I hope y'all are doing good for the holidays!!!
Mike Fairrington rules! Love his work, I knew I recognized that sanding disk. Great video, Stud Pack! Always nice to have a change of pace while you're on a long project like the house.
The primed finish on your boards is a two pass, buffed gesso primer. Gesso is clay that is mixed in with the primer. It also appears the boards are made with Albasia with is a south American wood product. It is a very stringy wood product that is inexpensive but does not machine well. That's why they have to have such a thick primer coat.
Love how you still have time/make time for the community. I love the dream garage build but the break away to your previous style videos was great! I have to get me the sanding disc.. never seen that before!! Merry Christmas Stud Pack team
I wish I had the brain power to remember all of the excellent tips that Paul has shared on the SP channel. He is a stud builder/maker. I love the channel guys!
Wow, great job! That is a LOT of work. It sounds like you were trying to help out the church. Using the electrical tape on the window edges is pure genius. Your concern for your clients is just exceptional, measured by every metric. I wish you the most amazing success with your projects and, more importantly, with your lives. May you prosper mightily in everything you do.
I used to use a 4' diameter disc sander at my family's factory. With a brand new disc of sandpaper, you could destroy a 2x4 in a few seconds. Those sanders are vicious, keep your fingers away and also install a guard, because if they catch your wood, it will fly up very quickly. That said, they are extraordinarily useful.
Another great video! It is a good thing to temporarily step away from a project and then come back with a fresh mental attitude. It is always great to watch you guys do anything. Painter here with over 37 years of experience and that tape trick on the glass was genius. Keep up the good work and Stud Pack nation we’ll continue to watch and support you guys. 👍🏼
Fantastic job on the windows and the frames! They look spectacular. The tape is a great trick to hide the edge. I'm stealing that one... The only thing I would have done different would be to add the outside of the casing during initial assembly, just to speed installation, but I get why you didn't do that for transport purposes.
I made one of those several years ago. I love it! I set the blade at an angle and run my planer blades through it on a clamp block with multiple grits to take out nicks and make them perfectly straight and sharp(I do a little super fine work before installing them)
The contractor that recently installed my new windows asked me what color I intended to paint my window trim. When I told him he pulled out a woman's nail polish kit and found a color similar and that is what he used to color the edge of the glass. Didn't realize why he did that till ur video explaining ur tape method. Good tricks of the trade.
Contributing to the community. Great I love it. In the memory of: do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Merry Christmas from Bavaria
Great work again guys, love the channel,and content you put out. Really surprised you guys haven't been offered a TV slot somewhere! Much, much better than a majority of stuff out there👍
IMO you should only use self taping screws for metal studs 18 guage and down,. 20 and 25 guage metal studs work the best with fine tread sheetrock screws. For refernce only. I have many years doing metal framing , sheetrock and finish work for commercial application. And your absolutely right that the trim head scre would of been best. Great job !!! Looked great
Love the irony of putting Sherwin Williams paint in a PPG bucket @19:20 - I lived with my cousin for a year and he worked for PPG. When I painted my room, I bought the paint from Sherwin Williams. He gave me some trouble for that! LOL
I think seeing you do a lot of stuff for the first time, it was easy to forget how dang good y'all are at finishes. Can't wait till the drywall's up and y'all can really shine.
Thie old Shopsmith tablesaws had a 'conical sander' that worked in the same way as this sander. I'm glad to see the idea implemented on modern machines that contractors can have on the jobsite.
I have had Mike Farrington's dt disc for a while now. I setup a second saw in my shop dedicated to it. My two table saws are side by side and share the same rail and fence. I cut to the left of the fence and "glue line rip" with the taper disc on the right. It works out great. I can't tell you how much it improved my panel glue up results. Final dimension on the table saw and "glue line ripping" on the taper disk are my workflow with the disc. I also do a lot of small parts work and have built a jig to use it to joint and thickness small parts. It's just a modified mortise and tenon jig, but it works a treat to replace my shooting board and hand plane for more than a few jobs.
That sanding disk has sped my sanding days up astronomically. Glue up with face frames and doors without a wide belt sander has become more accurate and less head ache's. Glad to see another way I can use it when my days of trim carpentry come back.
My dad was a contractor for his hole life and never advertised but the freebies he’d do for different organizations made him more valuable business than ever.
Hands down, this is the best CZcams channel. Stud pack never disappoints. I’m usually skipping to get to the good part on other channels, I never have to do that on this one!
Be kind and have fun. My life’s journey has taught me that these are what really matter. You guys just live this in ways I couldn’t describe. Respect! Huge respect. C
Great job, I like the sanding disk and all the tips and tricks you did to pull off a wonderful job! And I made sure that the Like button was properly smashed for you guys.
That tablesaw disc is awesome! I am going to have to think about that one. Also, I was unsure about the electrical tape and could not figure it out, L O L! Outstanding work!
Awesome video! The camera work was espcially great in this video - it really made it feel like a home improvement show you see on TV. Great work on the windows as well, they look excellent! The only I would be concerned with is the electrical tape over time, it may get sticky and start to brrak down
Initially I was a little anxious to see that that this wasn't a dream house update but of course it turned out to be a worthwhile diversion and a wonderful episode nonetheless. That disc sander mod is cluuutch!
I have a similar tapered sanding disk. As a hobby woodworker there's no need for a jointer, much safer too! Also, you need to use RockHard water-based putty. Comes in a powder and doest shrink. Super easy to sand too!
The filler is shellac. It's not what's making your blade dull- that is the sap and tar from the pine gumming up the blade. You can use a blade cleaner to make that thing cut like new
That disk is crazy cool :o Also cool to see a "classic" style SP video :D I love the house build but videos like this to fill in the empty space between big house projects is definitely something I wont complain about! The electric tape tip too is a banger! I love electric tape ❤ world's best waterproof bandaid 😂 great for fingertips and palms
Damn Studs! I personally loved the change up. Don’t get me wrong I watch everything you guys make anyways but I love all the little detail stuff. You guys are awesome keep up the good work! Much love from Las Vegas NV!
I love that y'all give back to your friends and community.❤❤❤❤❤❤ Could we please lower the volume on the music when y'all are doing a montage? Especially when Jordan picks that techno-dance music. It distracts from watching y'all. Love y'all! Keep up the good work. 🥰
As someone who's been following along the dream build, but also has a 2yr old daughter that LOVES these kinda play places, this is my ideal side content.
I watch every single video because I love what a Godly man Paul is. My second favorite part are all the funny outtakes you film of him “coping” or saying pain/pane. I love renovation and furniture making but y’all’s personalities are why I love forward to your videos every week. Never stop doing things the way you’re doing them.
These guys @Studpack are just great people. They’re helping out their friends with their project all while in the middle of their own project at the Studpack Dream house.
This type of content had me watching long before the dream house build. As much as we all love seeing the house build, a change up was a welcome surprise too.
Sponsors out there, send this man a truck rack system!!
Great to see some random jobs mixed in too. I love it when it’s Stud Pack episode day.
Ok so I was taught that you always hold a Brad/finish nailer perpendicular to the edge of the board you are nailing into, as the brads will bend left or right but not forwards or backwards. Then you don’t have to worry about blowouts. Anyone else?
In the movies they call those “shiners”! I worked on a few movies and shiners are a no no! And youre right about holding the gun perpendicular! Same goes for staple guns and framing nailers! Sometimes though it just doesnt matter how you hold it and it goes where it wants!
And don't keep your hand anywhere near that blowout area. They hurt going through your finger nail.
yep you are 100% correct. Very little chance for a blowout when turned the correct direction.
Not that we're tired of Jordan's house or anything, but it is great to see some different unique builds from time to time. Stirs up a lot of creativity. 🙂
Nah I miss the house build for sure lol
The Paul 'tricks' keep on rolling. My dad was the 'trick' master....this brings back great memories. Always great to see you guys work.
My favourite time of the week!

Its like Saturday Morning Cartoons from when I was a kid 😊
Love my Saturday morning Studpack!!
As someone single-handedly building my own home, I know the importance of stepping away from the project and just doing something that makes you feel good!! Great video guys!!
Good for you Jessica! My grandmother built her own home with a lot of help no doubt! Its mostly all rock and is still occupied today after 100 yrs!
Super cool that you’re doing work for the local church. God bless!!! 🙏
Really cool to see a switch up from the house/garage build. Awesome to see you all out helping some people too. Thanks for taking the extra time to show us this! I hope y'all are doing good for the holidays!!!
Mike Fairrington rules! Love his work, I knew I recognized that sanding disk. Great video, Stud Pack! Always nice to have a change of pace while you're on a long project like the house.
Mike Farrington is a self important pompous JO
I agree. Just saw the thumbnail and was like how cool for them to use that.
Wide electrical tape as painter's tape, and the tapered sanding disk, were awesome, unexpected tips!
The primed finish on your boards is a two pass, buffed gesso primer. Gesso is clay that is mixed in with the primer. It also appears the boards are made with Albasia with is a south American wood product. It is a very stringy wood product that is inexpensive but does not machine well. That's why they have to have such a thick primer coat.
Here in Hawaii Albizia is an invasive tree that likes to fall over in storms. But I guess it has its place in the woodworking world.
Hate that stuff. That primer also will chip out sometimes when you’re nailing it. Any time I need fjp it’s Windsor one
Love how you still have time/make time for the community. I love the dream garage build but the break away to your previous style videos was great!
I have to get me the sanding disc.. never seen that before!!
Merry Christmas Stud Pack team
The little details are the ones i like to see, having passion for what you do and doing it with pride. Great job
I wish I had the brain power to remember all of the excellent tips that Paul has shared on the SP channel. He is a stud builder/maker. I love the channel guys!

Rad needs a raise

Really nice to see the change of pace from the house build, looks fantastic and love the new sanding disc and other window frame tips!
My wife wishes my shop was only $10k!! Great video guys. I love how you always find a way.
My wife has no idea what my shop cost.
That is a great idea. Jordan the gray in your hair looks really good on you man!
I made one of those several years ago. I love it! I set the blade at an angle and run my planer blades through it on a clamp block with multiple grits to take out nicks and make them perfectly straight and sharp(I do a little super fine work before installing them)

Great job helping a community is a blessing for you an them !

Love that I can come back and rewatch these and learn so much more
I love watching you guys building the house and I hope y'all have a great Christmas and a happy New year
Great work again guys, love the channel,and content you put out.

I've had a 9" version of this for my DeWalt radial arm saw for 30 years. They are awesome.
Electric tape trick was absolutely priceless. Thank you for that one!
You shouldn't use an impact for pocket screws. Use a normal drill and dial down the clutch to ensure perfect torque to avoid over tightening.
Always happy to see that smiling face Paul! 👋
Always happy to see a notification for a new Stud Pack video.
Merry Christmas! You guys are awesome!
I think seeing you do a lot of stuff for the first time, it was easy to forget how dang good y'all are at finishes. Can't wait till the drywall's up and y'all can really shine.

Man i love Mike's channel. I'd recognize thatdisc anywhere. Love his great sense of humor.

Always a blessing to bless others. Great job that looks fantastic!
Hands down, this is the best CZcams channel. Stud pack never disappoints. I’m usually skipping to get to the good part on other channels, I never have to do that on this one!
You guys are watching Mike Farrington - He’s my hero. Love that sanding disc too - I’ve had mine for about 5 years and it is a kick ass tool.
Well done Paul. Hope you and the kids have a good Christmas and new year.
This was a pleasant surprise to watch and glad to see you already fitting in in your new community
NICE WINDOWS
Be kind and have fun. My life’s journey has taught me that these are what really matter.
You guys just live this in ways I couldn’t describe. Respect! Huge respect. C
Nice change of pace. Love this channel
Thank you for keeping it real with the projects you tackle. I like that this channel has remained wholesome and family friendly.
“DAAAAAAD!!! Stud Pack is on!!!!”
You guys really are amazing ❤ I love how you give back to your community the way you do. It is super inspiring to see it keep up the good work guys
Great job, I like the sanding disk and all the tips and tricks you did to pull off a wonderful job! And I made sure that the Like button was properly smashed for you guys.
You can write that expense off as charity . Jus make sure you save thee receipts for your CPA and include the labor. We do it all the time
Enjoy anything you guys do always great to watch
Awesome Job Guys!
Great looking windows and great hints and tips!
That tablesaw disc is awesome! I am going to have to think about that one. Also, I was unsure about the electrical tape and could not figure it out, L O L! Outstanding work!
Y’all are awesome!
It is a nice break and change of pace from the Stud Pack Dream House build.
Great video Paul, Jordan, Rad. Glad you could help out a friend & save him some money. Also bet you were glad to get a break from the house.
Nice tricks! Thanks SP
Awesome video! The camera work was espcially great in this video - it really made it feel like a home improvement show you see on TV. Great work on the windows as well, they look excellent! The only I would be concerned with is the electrical tape over time, it may get sticky and start to brrak down
I wonder if you could just color the edge with a sharpie… I’m sure someone out there has tried it. I wonder if it makes a difference.
Initially I was a little anxious to see that that this wasn't a dream house update but of course it turned out to be a worthwhile diversion and a wonderful episode nonetheless.
That disc sander mod is cluuutch!
Great so see some of the things that made me watch to begin with
I have a similar tapered sanding disk. As a hobby woodworker there's no need for a jointer, much safer too!
Also, you need to use RockHard water-based putty. Comes in a powder and doest shrink. Super easy to sand too!
To me, variety in content is a big key to success in the CZcams thing. Good video.
Hmm someone needs a lumber rack for their Stud Pack truck?? Let's see what the new year brings?? Another great job by the Stud Pack crew. 5 Stars!
The filler is shellac. It's not what's making your blade dull- that is the sap and tar from the pine gumming up the blade. You can use a blade cleaner to make that thing cut like new
Great video glad see a new topic.
I love this style of video with Paul's voiceover. This is sick!!
Merry Christmas!!!
That disk is crazy cool :o
Also cool to see a "classic" style SP video :D
I love the house build but videos like this to fill in the empty space between big house projects is definitely something I wont complain about!
The electric tape tip too is a banger! I love electric tape ❤ world's best waterproof bandaid 😂 great for fingertips and palms
Absolutely missed the upload guys 👌
Good for you! Giving back.
Damn Studs! I personally loved the change up. Don’t get me wrong I watch everything you guys make anyways but I love all the little detail stuff. You guys are awesome keep up the good work! Much love from Las Vegas NV!
I love that y'all give back to your friends and community.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Could we please lower the volume on the music when y'all are doing a montage? Especially when Jordan picks that techno-dance music. It distracts from watching y'all.
Love y'all! Keep up the good work. 🥰
FYI...there's a slider volume control at the bottom of the video in case you haven't noticed it.
@@mjbjr1944 Thanks, i lowered the volume, but it is embedded in a much higher volume than the rest of the audio.
Great job as always guys!
As someone who's been following along the dream build, but also has a 2yr old daughter that LOVES these kinda play places, this is my ideal side content.

What does that mean, a "godly" man?
That black tape is a cool idea. Thank You!
Loved the video and tips. Stud pack always comes up with innovative ways to do things. I really liked the electrical tape tip. Great job
That double camera perspective at the end was cool! Nice idea 😁 and always love the content!!
Good stuff, as always!
Mad shoutout to Mike Farrington!! Love it when my favorite channels intertwine!!
Awesome video! Thanks. I see them use double stick tape as well along both edges of the glass but that electrical tape looks like a great solution. 👍
you guys are awesome, great knowledge and a great video!
I love the black tape idea that’s great👌
These guys @Studpack are just great people. They’re helping out their friends with their project all while in the middle of their own project at the Studpack Dream house.
Congratulations on a great project. Community service is always satisfing.
Came for a Table Saw review and got a whole step by step on window installation fundamentals.
Yes prime for trim does have gypsum in the primmer to fill in the wood. Thats why its so smooth.
always love the stud pack house videos but also nice to see a video of just great woodwork from the team!
Great video! But I expect a Christmas Special!!!
We need Paul reading Twas the Night Before Christmas next to a roaring fire 😂
It looks great the way you did it also you guys do great work keep doing it your way
