Beautiful Job. One suggestion - I would set the bottom piece of the shelf first and then the back on top. I makes a better directional flow for the water to run out. Also make sit better to avoid possible leaks.

One of the best how-to's I've ever seen. So many others are too much talking and not enough showing.

I think this guy does a pretty good job...I’m 31 years in the trade. The only thing I do slightly different is I set my schluters first. Then measure cuts to fit inside snug as a bug...definitely a good informative video for the diy’er

[royaljimenez]

Well done.The fact that you took the time and purchased the materials to make this tutorial. As a tile installer myself I always look for helpful tips here and there, keep up the good work.

[fideliskaspa]

You are just exceptional in this magnificent demonstration.
One of the best and liveliest, done that I have viewed in a long time.
This process could not be made more clearer. You got 5 Stars rating. Thank you.

In my view your the best tile guy on the net.Your work is primo.!!!!

Great video. We just remodeled our entire bathroom and the shower tile installer made a niche for us. However, he did not use the orange color box that you used. He had used durarock and baker board to make the cavity. Also, he used decorative tiles for the back - these are the tiles that he had used as a water fall effect in the shower. However, instead of using tiles around the inside sides of the niche, he used white stones and made the bottom side 1/4 inch wider for the water to fall on the floor (from the niche since it is on the side wall only 1 foot above shower floor) as opposed to dropping on the shower wall below the niche. He did not use the stainless steel pieces either sine he had used the stones. It looks really nice.

He even butters the back of tiles with his display demo. Love it.

# things about this:

1. GREAT VIDEO - thank you for taking the time
2. I learned more about the tricks you did than anything else lol.. lighting the miter saw had me on the floor
3. great technique..

As im doing my bathroom, This si the video i follow.! - THANKS Subscribed and liked!

wish I seen this before I started and finished. My inner niche is good, my outside, not so good, but it's my house and I did the whole bathroom, not just the niche. Looks good and I saved $1000's

I would have used the spacers you are using and the cutting technique maybe. I had to use a wet saw inside. I also framed my own niche, not pre-made and I used mosaic inside. I then trimmed that it "after" with an 1 inch aluminum corner trim. Had to use an adhesive, but it's rock solid. Small problem, it catches a little water at the lip of the niche. All my mosaic is lined up with the drain and centered. Thanks for the demo.

Always install the bottom piece first (shelf) then the back ; so the water runs off better. By installing the back piece first you are creating a gap for water to possibly penetrate. Also, the shelf must be installed on a slight angle for water run off.

I did this in my showers in Wichita Kansas 15 years ago. They never leaked. It was awesome. I had to force my wife to not leave the shampoo bottle uncapped.. I used St. Cecilia natural stone counter top white subway tiles and St. Cecilia tiles. When I sold the house. The bathrooms were the biggest selling point. I received 95k over the asking price of the home. All the fixtures are high-end from Ferguson.

Nice job on getting the veins to flow. I do that on all my projects. Takes some time, but sure looks so badass when it's done.

[carwerks]

i have learned so many things during, before and after my bathroom remodel I wish I had the money to rip it all back apart and do it again, Also this video wasn't around when I did it

[TomEzzo-kiyg]

Great video thanks for being so clear.👊🏼👊🏼

[OB]

This was an excellent demo and it’s going to help me on my project. Thank you for the great tutorial.

[stevied]

I would save the drops from the niche face cuts. They make the back of the niche, no waste perfect cut.

[ozupgrades]

I prefer continuing the joint through the niche, but props for the inward facing jolly

[grayr]

Amazing. Couldn’t find an example of someone using jolly and a step by step process. This is superb. Thanks so much. And thanks for explaining all the tools like saws that can be used etc. you have my up vote and subscribing coming your way.

That little area would have taken me a whole day to finish haha. Love your channel, your delivery is a mixture of dry, straight to the point and seems like you really enjoy your work. Your Tile work is art. I kinda got stuck doing the tile in a house we were building years ago. Never had any training or certification but for some reason after crashing and burning a bit, I was hooked which is crazy considering how much work tile installation is. Of all the trades it's definitely the hardest in my opinion. And it's not even close haha. Thanks for the videos. I know it takes allot of extra work and time.
