IVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR THIRTY YEARS AND ITS CLEAR THAT THIS GUY IS GOOD AND KNOWS HIS STUFF!!! BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN THE CONTRACTING GAME , PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT! THEY ALL THINK THEY ARE THE BEST PERIOD! I DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IVE HAD TO LISTEN TO SOME JACKOFF TELL ME HOW GREAT HE IS AT EVERYTHING ! AND MY RESPONSE IS ALWAYS THE SAME! WHY DO YOU THINK I CARE? I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU AND LEAVE ME ALONE! THE GUYS THAT ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO DONT NEED TO BRAGG OR TRY TO IMPRESS YOU
You are so so right John ! Always someone thinking they are the best. In 50 + years in Contracting I have seen a lot of hot shots come and go ! Yes I agree he is a true craftsman. Something kinda like a Unicorn these days.
@@jimbuzash2177 If I were a young man today I would have the bazooka and all the parts that go along with it. They are an amazing tool !! But at 68 my hard days are kinda behind me "I HOPE" !! Ha Ha Ha !! Every craftsman has little tricks they have developed over the years.
ive lived all over the US and drywall is a dying art. Most everything in the midwest is 1 rough coat and textured. the south is still hanging in there, but the yanks still have it mastered. Great video
He is from my area .he is good and so are the guys he has working for him .he is always busy ,and has even written a book on it,he is pretty succesful,.so I imagine he knows a thing or two about it.and he is a decent enough guy not to post some of things that few of you are.
This guy is good, actually checks as he is sanding. I run a painting business and wish I painted after this guy. Most "flushers" as we call them here in Australia are useless. 1 in 10 people can actually do it like a pro. And 10 out of 10 think they can haha.
No different here in USA. Drywall guys suck so bad I had to learn to do it myself just to get a presentable finish. I tried overpaying people paying by the hour so they would take more time and every time got a shit result. I hate it but I will finish my own. these guys truly are the bottom of the barrel
No offense to anyone. But some of you need to stop complaining. I dunno whats the persons name but he did pretty good job with drywall. I have checked out bunch of videos new and old, and have not seen no one handling 6 inch like he did. Sorry guys again no offense.
so he uses a 6inch broad knife for tapered joints every coat and with his square set corners. leaving gouge strokes in his centres which defeats the purpose of each coat he could use a corner trowel. he sands between coats which is not needed if his trowel work is spot on. the only thing ill give him is using a light while sandind
I have a company called Tradesman Painting & Drywall Lic.778435 Why are so many of you being rude to this guy!?Look at the jobs he gets look how quick he stripes the screw rows.He knows what he's doing and has his own way of using the 6" and that trowel he is a pro.
That is neither fast nor done well, is why, Double doubling up the angles? Not the best method. That being said, he seems like a perfectly fine person taking time from his busy day to show people how he likes to do things.
Mr Idiot. Pros do angles with an angle head. Glaze with a 2.5" head. Finish with a 3.5" head. But no, pros do not do angles both sides at the same time by hand. How many units have you finished? How many sheets of level five smooth wall? In my forty years as a drywaller, perhaps hundreds of thousand. Doubling angles does a horrible job. Hence the fact that this guy does it twice.
Well done bro! Not how I was trained I use typical taping knives 6" 10" 12" and a 14" pan, but your technique is awesome, are those concrete trowels custom bent with the 1/8" gap for curvature to leave enough mud on the surface? I like the roller for skimming pro job! We use the roller sometines for a final glaze to cover the entire surface. Very impressed good job, there's not enough quality trade training videos on RUclips for taping and finishing drywall, so I wanted to compliment you on a professional job, well done! And that there a many different ways to get the job done, whatever works for you and whatever ends up with a quality surface, well done.
Ken that is a crown trowel its not made for what hes using it for,You dont want to be building the joints up in the middle when hes gets done hes gonna see the joints,nothing he is doing is right
I don't know what u guys are doing wrong, maybe your gaps are too big and need to be pre-filled before u mesh tape over them, but I use mesh tape all the time for patches and small jobs. I never have any issues
Tim Caldwell same here. Maybe they need to make sure the Sheetrock screws are taught. I've only seen paper tape (especially on ceilings) turn loose from one side.
After a little bit of time hairline cracks form where the mud joins the paper of the sheetrock. Since mesh tape has lots of openings, the hairline crack shows in those openings. Paper is solid. So if there is a hairline behind the well adhered paper tape, the hairline crack is hidden. I agree with prefilling all joints. Cut out all loose paper. V the butt joints. Prefill with a tight layer of setting joint compound. When that sets, tape w/ paper tape.
Endo Alley I guess on paper (no pun intended) the science of it all says paper tape is better. But I as well have been using mesh tape for 20 years for recessed joints and NEVER have seen a crack.
I have seen perhaps hundreds of mesh tape cracks from back when people used it for taping flat joints. Nowadays you would be escorted off the job if they caught you taping a unit with mesh. We do use mesh to reinforce staple on corner bead.
Good work except he failed to mention if he was using a setting compound or joint compound for bedding and 2nd coat. Mesh must be bedded with setting mud. Personally I've seen too many cracked ceiling seams when mesh is used to ever use it there. I'd only use it on wall flats and butt joints.
WOW!!!!! We never have to sand. We do not sand. Work those trowels so you don't have to sand. Been in the drywall business now over 36 years. Doing home in the 300,000.00 to 2.5 million dollar homes. But hey....if you want to sand...knock your self out :)
Taper leans up against a cornerbead, then starts rubbing it and says, 'did you do this?' Me, 'yeah'. Him, It feels like glass. You don't even have to sand.' Me, 'yes you do, it's smoother than the paper and will flash when painted.' Everyone has to sand.
I've used mesh & paper & have never set either in topping & never had a mesh problem..This guys doing a great fast & efficient job.. it's an art & he's got the touch.My biggest problem is fuckin with the mud too much.
Where did you get your mixer my mixer is big enough for a 5 gal bucket but it's just a couple inches over for the bucket I can't find one the lengh of the one you have its so irratating. Lol
Its not even my trade and I can do a room 100% done in 2 days primed. Turn off the lights and sand with a bright flashlight held perpendicular to the wall. If the flashlight don't show it you'll never see it under primer. I was forced to learn cuz I couldn't hire anyone who would do it right. But everyone I talked to is the best there ever was. Fucking scumbag dust suckers
And by the way....mesh is horrible. Tried it 28 years ago for about thirty minutes. Threw it in the trash. We always make fun of guys standing at the cash register with a roll of that junk. Paper...paper...paper...paper. The only way to go
This guy knows what he's doing It takes years to develop the "hand" to really do the job a pro finisher. Most of us are aiming for adequate, which isn't as good but for most jobs will be great. I hire a finisher for most of my med to big jobs because they are much faster than me hacking at it
You dont need 3 coats if you know how to leave enough mud in the first coat. And in the corners you cover one side first and then when it dries you cover the other. Those screws don't need to be cover that wide. Sanding sucks lol.
He Must Use Wider Spatula the Second Application . It must be 8' if its Not Gonna. Be P,astered the The Whole Thing . Then no 10' spatula Last or Finishing . But It must be About 12 ' Wide . Same Procedure Which is the Edges are Flattened Left & Right .
Using a pan to hold your compound would allow you to carry more compound and make your work faster. Also, when you wipe your seams try using a broad knife so you can span the entire seam. Your production will be much faster.
I have 6 bazookas. A dozen flat boxes. Maybe eight angle heads of various sizes. And too much other stuff. How do you sell an Ames? They are for rent, not for sale. Must be hot. Ames are pretty good, though.
Hello, how do you finish a drywall seam where the ceiling and wall meet at an angle greater than 90 degrees and would like to have a curved appearance where they join.
You don't cove your obtuse angles. You run one side cleanly. Lt the mud dry over night, and coat the other side. You can use a straight flex type product to help straighten the angles out.
Funny, the guy who asks why he's not using a compound tray, when trays were originally intended for DIY homeowners who couldn't handle a hawk. This guy is good, but the time, dust and energy for drywall is why we're doing plaster these days.
my aunt always hire cheap mexican labor, with no formal training, in los angeles....now her house looks garbage...walls are ugly... now i want to learn how to drywall and tape...i want to redo all the walls of her house....LOL
What's the difference between compound and spackle, if there even is any? Also, when you put in your second and perhaps third coat do you use the same compound/spackle? Also, I don't know if you always does your corners this way but in some places they use this -> husplaner.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/P1010742.jpg to reduce the cracks!
Never use that mesh ever it will crack but thats ok i make a lot of money redoing a lot of houses where someone used that mesh crap i go in cut everything out heal it in with Fibafuse tape texture and repaint
I would like to ask you a question if I may. The question is on the exterior wall on the inside of the house, some one can slap, not very hard, the wall or sheetrock and several feet away you can fell the sheet rock vibrate. What do you think the cause of the vibration to be? Thank you for any information.
whats with the wrinkles in the tape? shouldnt be any.Plus why are you doing both sides of the angles at the same time?,if you do one then let it dry then do the other your done with them. you cant do both of them at the same time and not have to fix one side or the other.Why are you putting mud on the flat with a 6in knife? The trowel you are using is called a crown trowel thats not for finishing a flat,your trowel should be perfectly flat. The mud youre using with the roller is all purpose not made for final coat it has glue for putting the tape on,and it sands very hard compared to the mud you should be using.
Pro tapers are able to peel through jobsites, doing superior work, because they don't make the time-wasting mistakes this guy in the video does. Use a hoc or a mud boat. The more mud supply at hand the faster the work, instead of dicking around with a trowel substituting for a boat and having to reload every 15 seconds. That's a lazy painter habit. In hand-taping, all joints are taped with a 6" knife where the knife edge is always run parallel to the seam. It's all side-hand. At 0:19s you see the handle parallel to the seam. Turn the handle 90 degrees down so the handle is down for recess joints. If bedding right to left, load up the right hand side of the knife and tip the left side off the wall. It's a wheelie action. This guy is perpendicular applying a 6" wide bed of mud. This is a total waste of time because over half of the mud will have to be skimmed off. Why put it on if just going to come right off? All that's needed is to bed the width of the tape plus a quarter inch other side for clearance. The wheelie technique does this rapid quick. Takes a bit of practice, The whole objective of taping is to trowel on no more mud than necessary to coat the seam on every coat. If apply too much, one will spend a lot of time sanding away material that should never be there. Never use plastic pails for an ad hoc scaffold stand. That's just ignorant and asking for trouble. Get a rolling step-up scaffold. Never coat recesses with a 6" knife, OMG, unless due to space restriction and only it can do the job. All coating is 12" knife with mud boat or hoc. Minimum 10". Again, it's about the more mud that can be troweled across the longest distance per time. And where pros destroy amateurs in production. Only briefly shown in the video is why one should never hand coat opposing wall-ceiling angles in one pass with a 6" knife. It doesn't work. The knife always pulls out cavities or leaves unwanted lumps. It should be coating one of ceiling or wall but not both. Then the next coat muds the opposite angle. It's always staggered. A machine flusher can do it in one pass.. Hand coating can't do 90 degree or 135 angles.
Really? Don't use plastic buckets....? If it weren't for plastic buckets, nothing would get done in America. By the way, when should I expect delivery of that rolling step-up scaffold?
A tray is annoying to clean, and make efficient use of the mud in a way that prevents it from drying in the corners. Im no pro but that's my reasoning: it's just too cumbersome.
Usually one day is long enough, 24 hours, but in basements or other humid areas (especially in summer) it could take 2 or more. You really want it to be dry and the moisture out to prevent future shrinkage. Good luck!
Mess tape is shit....always cracks due to no lateral strength unlike paper. Paper is the best. If you want flat butt joints then think outside of the box. We all have secrets to be better than the other guy.
#1 corner trowels are actually a plaster tool - not a drywall tool #2 no pro drywaller I've ever seen (and I've worked with 100s over the years) uses a corner trowel. Mud too thick- impossible to get a square inside corner. Myron is the man when it comes to drywall.
I did taping/plastering for about 7 years and I worked exactly like this guy. nice job..

If your a pro use boxes and flushers. Get a boozoka while your at it. That's what pros use. Time is money
@@jimbuzash2177 If I were a young man today I would have the bazooka and all the parts that go along with it. They are an amazing tool !! But at 68 my hard days are kinda behind me "I HOPE" !! Ha Ha Ha !!
Every craftsman has little tricks they have developed over the years.
He’s intermediate at best.
I like what I see, dexterity at its best. Seems easy but isn't, good work!
Totally agree with you. It isn't as easy as it looks. I'm not sure at this point what has more mud on it, my floor or my shirt. Andy 🇨🇦
Great video. He gets right to it. No stupid boring intro or explaining what stupid tools ya need.
I'd hire this guy. I guarantee he does a better job then I ever would.
This video on RUclips tube 5 years ago looks like it was recorder for beta max
This guy is the best I've ever seen!! He's the G.O.A.T.
Good videoing. Good taping. Good mudding. Good sanding. Good commentary. Good job
Good grief
This guy is really good.
No he’s not
To use the 6 inch so perfectly is art
ive lived all over the US and drywall is a dying art. Most everything in the midwest is 1 rough coat and textured. the south is still hanging in there, but the yanks still have it mastered. Great video
He is from my area .he is good and so are the guys he has working for him .he is always busy ,and has even written a book on it,he is pretty succesful,.so I imagine he knows a thing or two about it.and he is a decent enough guy not to post some of things that few of you are.
Where's that?
I think he is good. Fast and neat. Better than me. I'm just a mesh tape hater & I never walked on stilts. It's a good video
Maxkil , Christopher Handy - Do you guys ever watch "The Drywall Doctor" videos? What do you think of his taping style?
He's terrible and you are all terrible if you think he's good.
The numbers used in minute 2:44 What is its name?
This guy is good, actually checks as he is sanding. I run a painting business and wish I painted after this guy. Most "flushers" as we call them here in Australia are useless. 1 in 10 people can actually do it like a pro. And 10 out of 10 think they can haha.
Ryan Morgan then you must not know anybody good at all cause the guy is doing shit wrong
Doubling up angles when run by hand? The usual method is one side at a time with drying in between.
No different here in USA. Drywall guys suck so bad I had to learn to do it myself just to get a presentable finish. I tried overpaying people paying by the hour so they would take more time and every time got a shit result. I hate it but I will finish my own. these guys truly are the bottom of the barrel

he is a hack
doing double angles is the sign of a pro and I saw guys get fired cause they could not do double angles and it is much faster

I don't even know how long I been at it but I was potty trained on a mudbox! Was spotting nails and running on stilts when I was 6!

Lots of comments about how he could be faster. What? Are you guys gonna miss Happy Hour?
Ha Ha ha !!! Good one !
These are some really great videos. I just completed finishing my garage and it looks amazing.
It's a garage.
When hand sanding, Don’t wipe loose dust with your opened bare hand. You’ll feel the thinness of your skin burning.
WOW!!!!! We never have to sand. We do not sand. Work those trowels so you don't have to sand. Been in the drywall business now over 36 years. Doing home in the 300,000.00 to 2.5 million dollar homes. But hey....if you want to sand...knock your self out :)

Can't use mesh tape with regular mud read the USG handbook
Regicide 79 you are correct when taping joints... however I wouldn’t be too concerned about a small ding like that.
why?
Where did you get your mixer my mixer is big enough for a 5 gal bucket but it's just a couple inches over for the bucket I can't find one the lengh of the one you have its so irratating. Lol
Ok could you paint at this point or do you have to put a primer on the drywall before painting
Thank so much for sharing. I just started a business about home remodeling and this video helped a lot to understand the process.
Much respect to drywallers out there. I hate doing this! 😂😭
whatever this guy is a pro it would take most people a month to finish that room
Bluegrass Diggers i could do that in 2 days
Good for you

Why 3 applications and not just 2? Do I demand 3 if I chose to hire a contractor?
theres no way he should need 3 coats, amateur awful
Not saying he is not professional but in the housing and commercial industry the going price for finishing is pretty low and speed is a necessity

Coating ceiling flats with a 6? Can you not use a 10 or 12?
Some people prefer quality over quantity. He may not be fast, but the dude does the job well. The drywall guys my boss uses don't clean a damn thing.
Como se llama the vatos that your boss uses?
Gracias maestro. Aprendi bien.

Quality Drywall Finishing I would like to know how much charge for instal drywall and put mud.
Try using a bazooka for stringing tape.
where do you live cause I got a ames bazooka 10 and 12 inch boxes angle plow and roller pump for sale and more stuff
I have 6 bazookas. A dozen flat boxes. Maybe eight angle heads of various sizes. And too much other stuff. How do you sell an Ames? They are for rent, not for sale. Must be hot. Ames are pretty good, though.
" your bazookas are shit compared to Ames ' Really? What kind do I have?
You don’t need to finish the recessed joints 16”
The hawk was too much money? I mean come on? Ha ha ha
He’s filling his imperfections with green mud which shrinks
MrScrapman77 all mud shrinks dumbass! Even beadex 20 minute mud shrinks at least 4% the manufacturer claims (its more than that)
This is old news, probably from the eighties no one works like that anymore. No recessed lights? Yep old news!

Good job
500,000 views - fair play to him.
Don't mesh your joints people!
Does anyone even care about the strength. Rather than just being fast
Dude I watched tons of your videos. You and your guys move super fast. So wth are you talking about?
using a curved knife is kinda like cheating but you go guy do you thing just don't come to buffalo you wont cut it
The numbers used in minute 2:44 What is its name?
Or don’t finish that seam at all. Place a 1x4 stained board on it.
Do you ever use a corner trowel ?
Never use that mesh ever it will crack but thats ok i make a lot of money redoing a lot of houses where someone used that mesh crap i go in cut everything out heal it in with Fibafuse tape texture and repaint
Komponnya pake apa ya.? Keliatannya lama keras dan bagus
Not to be rude. There are many better ways to do his. At least he takes time to share his knowledge.
imagine 40 ft tall ceilings w plaster only no rock hahaha theres framers like that make ya sick ud be scared of a double hip

wow man, respect !!
You always put mud the whole length, never by 3 inches.
White kind of mixer is that
He gets the job done but he ain't a finish man. Too slow. He would starve if he got paid by the square foot....
He literally wrote books on drywall finishing and owns a drywall company
Half hung, half taped?? Throw that hawk away & get you a pan.. stretch your tape tighter. Cut it with a 5" knife. . Flunky!
Wow! I need him to show these clowns how to do my house.
Pro tapers are able to peel through jobsites, doing superior work, because they don't make the time-wasting mistakes this guy in the video does.
Use a hoc or a mud boat. The more mud supply at hand the faster the work, instead of dicking around with a trowel substituting for a boat and having to reload every 15 seconds. That's a lazy painter habit.
In hand-taping, all joints are taped with a 6" knife where the knife edge is always run parallel to the seam. It's all side-hand. At 0:19s you see the handle parallel to the seam. Turn the handle 90 degrees down so the handle is down for recess joints. If bedding right to left, load up the right hand side of the knife and tip the left side off the wall. It's a wheelie action. This guy is perpendicular applying a 6" wide bed of mud. This is a total waste of time because over half of the mud will have to be skimmed off. Why put it on if just going to come right off? All that's needed is to bed the width of the tape plus a quarter inch other side for clearance. The wheelie technique does this rapid quick. Takes a bit of practice, The whole objective of taping is to trowel on no more mud than necessary to coat the seam on every coat. If apply too much, one will spend a lot of time sanding away material that should never be there.
Never use plastic pails for an ad hoc scaffold stand. That's just ignorant and asking for trouble. Get a rolling step-up scaffold.
Never coat recesses with a 6" knife, OMG, unless due to space restriction and only it can do the job. All coating is 12" knife with mud boat or hoc. Minimum 10". Again, it's about the more mud that can be troweled across the longest distance per time. And where pros destroy amateurs in production.
Only briefly shown in the video is why one should never hand coat opposing wall-ceiling angles in one pass with a 6" knife. It doesn't work. The knife always pulls out cavities or leaves unwanted lumps. It should be coating one of ceiling or wall but not both. Then the next coat muds the opposite angle. It's always staggered. A machine flusher can do it in one pass.. Hand coating can't do 90 degree or 135 angles.
Really? Don't use plastic buckets....? If it weren't for plastic buckets, nothing would get done in America. By the way, when should I expect delivery of that rolling step-up scaffold?
Must be union.
If you're good, you can coat both sides of a corner without damaging the other side. You'll get there one day.
the best compound its murco dont crack
This old school taping
why use a trowel when u can carry a tray with more mud
Because he's better than you.
Because he's the boss
lol so true
A tray is annoying to clean, and make efficient use of the mud in a way that prevents it from drying in the corners.
Im no pro but that's my reasoning: it's just too cumbersome.
a craftmans doesnt draft pulll off his mudd its a warming product
You did not bad of a job, but can use some fine tuning
ty soo much so many great ideas your the man!!
This guy is a BEAST!!! Wow...
How long got to wait to do the 2 coat
Usually one day is long enough, 24 hours, but in basements or other humid areas (especially in summer) it could take 2 or more. You really want it to be dry and the moisture out to prevent future shrinkage. Good luck!
How do you mix drywall compound so smooth add water???
Yes & mix very well
Nice!
Very nice
i don't think hes doing it right
I'm also a jointer
Mess tape is shit....always cracks due to no lateral strength unlike paper. Paper is the best. If you want flat butt joints then think outside of the box. We all have secrets to be better than the other guy.
OMFG HOMEOWNERS WHO INSIST ON DOING THIS... DO NOT USE MESH TAPE!!! IT IS GARBAGE
those are huge room whole house its a slobb big thick cooat or a two coat wonder them crews could get stuck in bed w sand paper dealers
Awesome
why doesn't he use a corner trowel for that
You mean an angle head and mudrunner? Or an angle box? That is how it is done.
Cuz a corner trowel packs too much mud in the corner that will crack in a year or so
Because corner trowels are for homeowners.
Because a corner trowel doesn't make a better corner.
#1 corner trowels are actually a plaster tool - not a drywall tool #2 no pro drywaller I've ever seen (and I've worked with 100s over the years) uses a corner trowel. Mud too thick- impossible to get a square inside corner. Myron is the man when it comes to drywall.
