Master at work.. gotta say, not many people these days have any pride in their job.. no one cares anymore.. It's sad.. but every once in a while , I see something like this. And it gives me a little more hope.. keep up the perfect skills, man.. not only do you have pride, and do a great job, but also tryin to teach your trade.. thats keeping it 100..
Painting and Plastering are the two trades in the industry that are more art than building. Flats and outside corners are easy to learn but doing the inside corners is where most are challenged. As a painter I like the inside corners sharp; looks good when changing colour from either wall to wall or just cutting walls at the ceiling. I find that corner tool leaves a round corner some painters avoid. For all those reasons I prefer the one side at a time method with the 4" knife for the insides. The pre folded feature of Paper tape also helps make a sharp crease at the corners. Two coats on the tape of All Purpose compound is enough to make them look good with little sanding. Keep up the good work, young man.
100% agree with you painting and plastering are finishing trades and are more Art than building. I have been painting for over 20 years and I also made the effort to learn how to plaster aswell I believe it is an important part of the painting trade and every painter should know at least the basics of plaster work…
Hey OG … Your videos are addictive … so entertaining. The more I watch the better they get. You cover it ALL! Oh … I agree with the many deserving compliments by your commenters. Definitely seems to be the trend. However, hats off to your Camera man as well! He’s Excellent! (apologies if I’ve assumed incorrectly on the gender) ! He never gets in your way, zooms precisely, and anticipates your every step. You make a great team!
Hey mate. Fellow plasterer here. Also a fellow internal tool user. Your method is almost identical to my own.l, except the final bit where you wait a few minutes. Have to say, impressive work. I'm going to give it a try next time. Love your work brother.
Because of you, i tried an internal tool. 1). Hand not big enough to span the tool as you show. 2). Tool angle greater than 90 so i was actually having to push it in to corner to reach the corner. Basicallyn despite multiple attempts, all i got was more frustrated. Hars off to you for the exceptional craftsmanship. That truly is a beautiful corner ready for tape.
Hey brother I'm a geordie lad living in NZ. I've been doing this for about same time as you (but plastered solid back in UK for 6 years) and was taught to do it one side at a time but in the last 6 month I bought the pump / flusher set up. Still learning but man I could never go back to doing one side.. soo damn fast its not even funny. But because I had never used a corner trowel I appreciate the tips on using it as I do awkward ones (inside face of cupboards etc) with a corner trowel 👌 All my stuff is colombia gear btw
The issue most have with the inside corner being rounded and not sharp can be easily overcome in seconds by simply running a sanding block one time straight through the corner, immediate results as long as the mud is dry. The only issue or challenge I've had with my corner trowel over years is three ways, since here in the states cornice is not standard.
How do you get on with the tool leaving a small radius in the corner? Sand it out later or not a big deal? As a carpenter I like a nice crisp internal so it's less work to fit skirting and cove tight in the corner.
Internal looks good but it seems like too many steps for me, I pull each side separately, one at a time, just a preference.....as long as it is finished correctly why be concerned how each person does it
Winter is not a good time to be doing one side at a time flush or angle heads all the way man i find those corner trowels to leave a hump trim guy hates it
I have been hanging finishing and texturing drywall since 1986 any finisher I've ever seen worth a shit never used a corner knife like this you use a four inch knife and run all you top ceiling angles and one side of your wall angles let them dry and clean them out then run the opposite side of wall angles and bottom side of ceiling angles when dry texture ceiling and skim bottom ceiling angles and all bitts flats and angles let dry and sand or use aims tools and box everything in any finisher that has ever done any serious work knows what im talking about
Brother no one has gone into this much dept on how to do corners.
FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU.
Much respect from an Aussie plasterer,great work always 👏

Anyone who talks trash to this guy, clearly has never touched a mud knife. Everything I've seen him do is perfection 👌

Good advice on internals and perfect job. Now I have an idea of doing internals now. Thanks!

I've always shyed away from the corner trowel, but the more you get used to it, it saves you a lot of work. Especially for small DIY projects.
I have one for years I haven't used. I tried it recently, and I need to practice more to get the the knack of it. Worked!
I always did one side and let it dry then the other. All though it isn’t practical on small jobs only big ones.nice job brother

Yeah geordie F that one side at a time stuff and flushers are ok in my books i can do that all from the floor no bench !!!
I'm going to get one of those corner trowels asap. I never used one before, but, it looks effective... better than what I'm used to doing.
Nice work! You've got some skills!
Yeah you go boy looks just as good as a mechanical tool my friend 😎👍👍🇨🇦 from Niagara Falls Canada

Big Ups ! Excellent work.
Good stuff
nice tip for internal angles keep them comeing
I got you
very good tutorial thanks
i like it
This guy knows the job
Dip the corner trowel in water each time and it will be smooth as silk
Very nice my man 👌 no need to sand that lol
Been trying to finish internals without corner tool to avoid rounded corners. How do I keep corner sharp?
Ragni corner trowel is best angle trowel on the market in my humble opinion
thanks..

If you struggle to fit skirting to that you need to get a new job me old fruitcake
Do you work in the New York tri estate area ?
I like to use some dishwashing liquid in my topcoat.
Internal looks good but it seems like too many steps for me, I pull each side separately, one at a time, just a preference.....as long as it is finished correctly why be concerned how each person does it
if it work then its good

Adjustable internal tool much better
