    I took on mudding our entire home, (after all new drywall), and I had zero experience in anything renovation. Your excellent videos has not only made it possible for me to do the job myself; I am already only leaving mistakes that would take the close eye of a pro to completely dime me out on. Thank you very much!!!

    You’re real time “mistakes” are my favorite; not only do you demonstrate what to do when unexpected things happen, you handle these situations with such grace and fully explain why it happened and how easy it is to fix it.

    He makes this look so easy! I’ve finished drywall many times. It’s definitely an art to “cut” the inside and outside corners in properly. Anyone can slop It on ( but make the sanding a total nightmare). This guy is very good.

    When I started finishing I learned from some old timers and got really good with a hawk and trowel. I still have my trowel one of the guys gave me when he retired. If you are good with it you can do it a lot faster than a pan and knife and with better results.

      A double butted trowel would probably help to get a better finish & always go plain steel, not stainless as it keeps a sharper edge. Less sanding down after.

    Great stuff to hear!!!! And now I don't feel so lonely. So many ppl say... "oh that's good enough" or when they know better but yet leave it. My conscience kicks my butt everytime and I just can't leave it. So it was refreshing to hear!! 👍👍👍👍
    Also wish more tapers would consider the carpenter.. I've been a carpenter for 35 years and things are to the point nowadays where I have to clean 3 out of 4 inside corners when running base and hanging doors has become a nightmare also due to the taper cleaning his trowel off in the door opening or running the horizontal tape long and folding over into the door opening. Ughhhhhhhh next thing you know that half inch you have to shim a door plumb is now an 1/8" or less. Or they let the drywall hang into the door rough opening. Good grief.
    But alas... Your a carpenter too so you know about what things can hassle the carpenter thus you don't do it to those extents.. Lol.
    Nice video and I'm subscribed. Thanks for the upload. Again... 👍👍

    I'm currently finishing a small room in our house with lots of weird jut outs and outside corners. I would love to see another video on finishing a corner bead, especially seeing more of the texture that you're happy with. I find it extremely hard to get a perfectly smooth finish on the first coat. The more I try to finesse it, the more I mess it up. What is fixable once dry (can be scraped off or filled with second or third coats), and what do you want to fix while it's wet. Thanks

    I learned to finish drywall in the 1970's . It paid a penny per square foot to tape and do one coat on the bead. approximately $50-60 per typical 3 bedroom house. I was concerned when I first saw you filling bead w/o taping seam first!!! Since I was paid by the job I had to learn to do it fast so that I could complete the first coat in one long day. The tape coat was all done with 6" knife so I did the first bead fill with that knife as well. All with tape mud. I changed to finish mud for the next coats ending up with a finish trowel skim coat last.

    There is an old journey man behind some of your skills. It very rare to see a young man using a Hawk and Trowel.
    I am a man of many hats myself, it’s good to be versatile in a fluctuating economy. 50 years building commercial and residential.
    The way to a successful small business is to start with a big one. LOL

    Drywall mudding, something that soothes my mind when watching it done, but exhausts me when actually doing it myself. lol

    Thanks for the video. I’m only learning about drywall and picking up pretty well on a flat wall but corners I’m having trouble with. I think I see what I need to do now
