And now we know why you're called Vancouver "Carpenter." Beautiful job Ben. Your attention to detail is amazing, but what really stands out is that you crafted this from start to finish all by hand. It looks flawless and I'm sure the homeowners loved and appreciated all your hard work. Also, it's very cool to see your Daughter learning amazing skills from her Dad. Nicely done!
Ben, you should keep doing more variety projects like this on your channel, you seem to be a highly skilled builder/carpenter. I also recommend you do separate videos on how you price these jobs, as many people (including myself) are equally as interested in the profit of high quality jobs.
Nice job! It’s always hard doing something challenging the first time when you have to figure it out yourself without someone showing you how to do it. Turned out great
Man that's absolutely beautiful! And as a contractor, I find vids like this just as helpful as the intricate long format vids. Because even the little bits of knowledge like the small knife in the corners, to the hassles with the corner beads. Gives any contractor the foresight of, damn, I didn't think of that, I better work another two days of labor into my estimate. Which as we all know, could be the difference in making none, some, or what we're worth in profits.
C'mon man, the channel is called "Vancouver Carpenter," not "Vancouver holy-crap-this-guy-is-a-wizard!" LOL That is absolutely beautiful! Being a kid in California in the early 90s, the bullnose corner look was insanely trendy and popular; every new construction house had it. There's some appeal in the nostalgia of it for me, but WOW does it look good as part of the whole design package you've got here! Absolutely makes sense, and a great compliment to the aesthetic. Killer job with the Venetian plaster, too!
Enjoy your craftsmanship, it reminds me of watching and learning from my late father-in-law (who was an old time plasterer) as he skim coated and repaired sheet rock ,in my then new house. The finished walls looked like glass. No sanding needed. It's good to see that craftsmanship is still alive. Keep the videos coming.
Your videos have been the biggest help for our last 3 years of finishing our basement and drywall repair throughout our house. You give the best tips and ways to finish drywall so easily and efficiently! Thanks for your videos.
wonderful work, and your voice-over was super on point. Just like the walls there was something smother about the feel of your voice, no harshness, even though it had some nice texture to it.
The only time I’ve ever built recessed curved niches was in a Venetian palace ( in Boston… figure it out) that had a compound curve that mirrored the window openings. I had absolutely no idea what i was doing, but the clock was ticking _heavily_ in the background so I simply figured it out. It was the most satisfying build I’ve ever done!
Great job Ben. I'm hoping we don't go back to the bullnose bead. Did so much of it in the 90's. It is finicky and time consuming, but 25+ years later, I guess it could be considered retro.
Watching you framing those arches makes me kinda miss my framing days and building arches. Then I bend my knees and remember, oh yeah, my knees say no way, man. Results look fantastic VC, excellent job!👍
For someone who has never used those bull nose corner beads, you did an amazing job, and 100x better than I ever could've. Pat yourself on the back for this one brother. Would've loved to see a finished result painted. Beautiful work man 👊🏼
That looks amazing. The vast knowledge and level of skill that you possess in different areas required on this project is very very hard to find in just one person. You usually have to find a good framer then the drywall guy not to mention someone that does Venetian plaster. Ben , take a bow my friend!!! Absolutely stunning!
I believe very few people have the patience and skill to finesse their way through a job like this:) Attention to every little detail start to finish to achieve this kind of Masterpiece carpentry! That's all I'm going to say about that💚
Always a pleasure to watch you work! Your attention to detail, discipline in how you work (no "looks good from my house" garbage always shows in your final product. And I so happy to see your daughter working with you! As a former contractor, it is always great to see women in the trades, but especially with you supporting her! Kudos!!
Well done Ben 😁🖒👊🍻. I only did Venetian plaster in taping school and it didn't turn out well 😂. You sure do got a gift and it's nice to see you passed that knowledge onto your kid, She rocked that plaster 🖒. I wish I could post a pic of My disaster plaster from school.
I find it ironic that during a Vancouver Drywaller, errrmmmm, uuuhhhh, Carpenter, video, I got an ad with Brian Baumler touting the benefits of Trusscore over drywall 😂
Hey Ben. I have a small Lathe and Plaster house and the Living room + hallway had cracks in the ceiling. After studying some of your drywall tips, I installed 1/4inch sheetrock on the ceiling, did the mud and tape. It took me a few days, but I was going to shoot a texture on it today, but my wife said "Do we really need texture? It's so flat and smooth , texture might ruin the look." The PVA primer was applied by her yesterday and it turned out perfect. So , thank you for doing these videos, I was able to adapt my tile setting skills to doing the drywall. Yes I used a hawk and trowel. You have done a great service by sharing all your knowledge and skills, again , thank you and happy new year!
Finally, you made a video that actually involves carpentry!! Lived up to your channel name! And a very nice job. You should do more carpentry videos. You actually do very nice work!
I did not know what to expect starting out with this, but wow!! How great does that look?! The texture looks really organic and soft, total game changer. I don’t know if I could spot mistakes on video, but it looks freaking perfect to my eyes. All your work impresses me, this seems a little next level imo. Great job
Tell you what it's good to see you challenging yourself like this. You could see the pressure you were under in the video and it ended up coming out good. Nice job.
Ben that was sick! What talent! And I love that you are passing on the skills to your daughter! Very rarely do you see craftsmanship like that! You would make a killing restoring and renovating historic buildings in my neck of the woods (New England)!
You put so many helpful tips in your videos with words but also by showing your technique. Thanks for sharing your creativity and knowledge even if it was your first time Doing something like this. Aren't those always the most intense and exciting and terrible? Lol!
Nice job! This looks super fun to build. I’ve been thinking about redoing my fireplace with a white oak wainscoting type of look. I think I’ll try to tackle that at some point in 2024. Oh I just noticed that detail of holding the arch up and flushing it with the claw of a hammer on a screw! That’s a great tip
That looks amazing. You have every right to be proud. I think it's fantastic you passed on some of those skills to your delighter/ I know my skills and knowledge have benefited from your content. Thank you for sharing.
Very nicely done.....I really enjoyed seeing how you approached the task and the processes you used to get the desired result.....this from an old hand (74 yr old finish carpenter)....still do some framing and drywall......this would be a project I would tackle......( Maybe).....lol
Ben… this is where precious allowances comes into play! Both you and I know that square openings fall in the majority of not being square. Sometimes we are deeply pushed into something I call “MacGyvering a previous job”! It’s okay, because they are only limited to what they know. The added plus side is that they create job security for us.
Great Job!! Can you please do a step by step video on Venetian Plasta?… maybe a small bathroom ceiling.. it’s such a beautiful look.. Thanks for always putting out great content))
Great Job Ben, During the time i have been watching channel. I have only seen you doing Drywall. It was great to see you doing nut nail and stud construction. Keep up the good work.

Thank you 😊
Mr. Vancouver Carpenter, there aren't many folks doing work like this. You are a true craftsman. 🙂
Thanks ☺️
I really like the voice over format. Gets a lot more content in a reasonable amount of time.
One of the only RUclipsrs that won’t make a how to video if he’s not 100 percent sure how to do something properly . 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice job!
It’s always hard doing something challenging the first time when you have to figure it out yourself without someone showing you how to do it. Turned out great
Not a lot of people do quality work. I was happy to see people that care, not just to get customer money.
😂 That is an art piece congratulations. I’ve done nothing like that I believe you’re a perfectionist genius.
Been looking for a video tutorial on this subject. Glad Daddy Degro made a video
Damn it feels like the 70s are coming back again. Its time to start making pallet furniture and hanging flock wall paper.
Just saw you on the nine club! I never even knew you skated! Followed you for drywall a while ago. Skater turned house flipper here!
Man that's absolutely beautiful! And as a contractor, I find vids like this just as helpful as the intricate long format vids.

Hell yeah, Ben. Beautiful job. Loved your interview on the nine club as well. Respect!
I forgot you were a carpenter, not a dry waller. Fantastic job!! I have a similar arc design in my house, and I was curious how this was made.
That's a Beautiful piece of art! Be proud !!! Sk8 or Die!
Nine Club?!?!? I was so excited to see you were the guest!
What a blessing being able to work with your daughter!... may your children's children be blessed....
Driving nails is therapeutic. Looks great
Really nice job Ben, I appreciate your attention to detail

I would have loved to see the finished reveal. You - and Miss Vancouver Carpenter - did a beautiful job on this very challenging job.
You and your girl did a great job your teaching ger right looks like
I can tell what a very good carpenter you are by how you drive in nails. Flush, square contact and no wasted motion, professional all the way.
That looks amazing. The vast knowledge and level of skill that you possess in different areas required on this project is very very hard to find in just one person. You usually have to find a good framer then the drywall guy not to mention someone that does Venetian plaster. Ben , take a bow my friend!!! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you!!!
I love this project. Your daughter seems to have the same attention to detail as her father. Well... She has learned from one of the best!
I believe very few people have the patience and skill to finesse their way through a job like this:) Attention to every little detail start to finish to achieve this kind of Masterpiece carpentry! That's all I'm going to say about that💚

Beautiful work. Now I want to build one too. Thanks for your great videos and tips.

Perfect timing! I’m working on the same thing at my house. You always seem to give me the info and confidence I need, right when I need it. Thank you!

Doing something like this. Aren't those always the most intense and exciting and terrible? Lol!
your daughter is a total badass for picking up the tools 👍👍
I love a good challenge! We grow as a professional when we step outside our comfort zones and it is a great feeling to make unique projects happen.
Nice job! This looks super fun to build. I’ve been thinking about redoing my fireplace with a white oak wainscoting type of look. I think I’ll try to tackle that at some point in 2024.
Oh I just noticed that detail of holding the arch up and flushing it with the claw of a hammer on a screw! That’s a great tip
Some of my favorite memories of working are with my dad. Always cool to see it happening.
Man, what a job eh!
You always underestimate your drywall skills, whether it hard, lite, quick set or plaster. Awesome work, that's all I can say ! 👌👍
Absolutely beautiful! work!!!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
That looks amazing!
I loved this video format, epic final product too! Hats off.
You are best at your job ❤

Where is your electric T-50 stapler?
Excellent job…looks really really nice.
Amazing job!!! Thank you

A MASTER with the drywall knife!! 😊
You should be happy with it. Masterful. And you even got in a bit of carpentering.
Really nice work!!! 👍
Beautiful job.

Great job
Arches seem to making a come back.
Wow love it.
Thanks for this little inspiration. My drywalling itch is going to need scratching again soon
Very nicely done.....I really enjoyed seeing how you approached the task and the processes you used to get the desired result.....this from an old hand (74 yr old finish carpenter)....still do some framing and drywall......this would be a project I would tackle......( Maybe).....lol
That looks really good Ben

That looks amazing! I wouldn't try it myself though.
As always love your work😎
Gracias maestro 👋🏻saludos 🇲🇽

I like the voice over style
Excellent!
Let's go big BEN! 👏👏👏👏👏
Great Job Ben, During the time i have been watching channel. I have only seen you doing Drywall.
It was great to see you doing nut nail and stud construction. Keep up the good work.
