This is one of the better taping videos on youtube that I keep coming back to. Straight and to the point. Not a lot of superfluous talking.

@kjbrand 5 лет назад

Just had a guy tape/mud a small job - amazing skill and dexterity. He was a philosopher about the job. "Every building . . . commercial & residential . . . has wall board. There's always plenty of work." He went on to say how he like to leave his jobs 'invisible.' He worked to keep the surfaces and joints the 'secrets' he left behind. I talked to my wife about how he turned the intention of a design: shapes, surfaces, angles into reality. That is what the 'trades' do - they deliver aesthetic reality where designers & engineers simply contemplate intention. He also said that he like the low stress of the job. "Floor and cabinet guys have to stress about mistakes, they can't do it over." he said. But he gets to start over to make it right anytime he wants. Brilliant video!

@DiscoFang 5 лет назад

So true. The design made real; the mistake stress; the therapy and meditation of repetition in drywall stopping. I'm a designer (a degree and all - architecture first, then graphics) but have been involved with and doing construction since I was a kid. Dad was a philosophy propfessor ( I kid you not) and he was also involved with demolition (again I kid you not). Design and construction is what I do now and much prefer the "making it real" side of it. Nothing says truth like making something real. My favourite things are timber framing and mud/stopping/plastering. It's like playing as a kid. The stress part of construction/creating you mentioned cannot be underestimated. By far the most stressful thing is bench-top cutting. One slip, chip or mis-measure and bam! Start over. With plaster it's whack! Chip! Redo. Done. Smooooooth & crisp.

@michaelgilkerson1361 5 лет назад

Good clean work brother. Began as a Plasterer here. Certain disciplines, good and bad, from that training now mingle with my drywall work. Often I am in residential, often with wild board work , terrible corners and gaps and what not. With plaster i can "form" and build up quicker and cures faster and denser. You do clean work with that tape. That's the hardest thing to master I've used the self-adhesive mesh for so long I use it for both materials. I'm messy with the tape.

@kirm8137 4 года назад

I'm renovating my own house doing my own boarding and taping. From the very beginning of this video I started learning new stuff. The bucket dump (why didn't I think of that?!?!), the way he applies the mud and seats the tape and so much more. This guy is an absolute pro. It's still comforting to see that even a pro like this drops a little mud on the floor occasionally. I've got enough mud on my floors to tape a small house. :) Thanks for this!

@eyespy3001 3 года назад

@@melanierust7129 The beauty of finishing walls is that, in most cases, you can always improve upon an already-existing bad job without having to start over from scratch. There are different levels of finishes you can apply to the wall using mud with some sanding in between applications. Look up drywall level finishes here in youtube to get an idea of what I’m talking about. Good luck with your projects!

@Iven2320001 5 лет назад

Go watch again, a good finisher, would have applied the mud, and then the tape to the flat with a total of 5 movements. This guy had 9 just applying the mud. A real finisher, Would have pulled from the corner of the flat that hits the corner, pulling 4 to 6 ft on the first spread, Then Another load and spread finishing most likely the apply of mud, but I gave another movement just in case. Then go back to the start of the mud spread and apply the tape, This is one full non stop movement taking about 5 seconds. Then after cutting the tape. The wipe is starting at the corner again, pulling into the corner, tighting the tape and good seal in the corner, and then the final fifth movement, pulling the tape tight, wiping the mud down, leaving no edge like this guy, Tape is tight, unlike this guy, good pack on the seam, unlike this guy.. and is over in about 15 seconds, Not the 4 minutes like this guy. Also, you would not need to go get a scraper and clean the floor like you will after this guy is done. He dropped about half a knife worth of mud just wiping the flat. Also, As someone who has been taping for 20 yrs. This guy has to be single, As no wife would put up with their washing machine being destroyed every few months. This guy is bathing in the mud. A true finisher, would have a few specs on his clothes. He knows when the mud is gonna fall, and how to not stand under it. This guy is doing a wall, an he is this sloppy, I would hate to see him doing overhead work. To be honest, I would probably pay this guy 70 bucks to 100 a day, no more, and base that on a 8 hour day. He is a floorman. The stilt man, or second lead, is a 250 dollar a day man.. who is doing all the overhead and having to get down off his stilts and help this guy finish up hos 40 boards he ran all day, when the overhead guy in the same area just ran 100 to 140.. and finished a hour or two before him, and is now running 30 to 40 boards in 2 hours.. cause they are 3 times faster then this guy. Lead man is in the high cealing and doing the high dollar work, putting the corner bead on, straight flex, doing the 45 angles, Then jumpin on stilts, and showing the second lead why he is still the second lead cause he is just to fast to keep up with.. then they both get down and make the floor man look like the beginner bitch.. Rant over.. That is a REAL Finishing CREW!

The builder was still in the neighborhood knocking out other houses. He stopped by and checked out my work. One thing he noticed was the "pocks" or little holes in the mud here and there after I applied it. He suggested before I mix the mud with water in the 5 gallon pail, add an "X" of dawn dish soap at the top of the mud. I did this in preceding batches and it helped alot.

Hi and Hello. I gather people for a good cause: I wanna provide people with Links leading to bad or toxic people. Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i need help with reporting them. RU-vid is in a bad state and i think you heard of that. Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan. But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something? So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use. Yeah, unorthodox, i know, but whatever. Its my Try to help. You can at least pre-emptive 'block user' regarding the Racists and all those, but you can also do one thing more and report them. You surely know what a mess youtube is, so? What do you think about all this? I mean, its a good cause, improving the internet and the world, and it costs no money, just time. Nice or not? I'm sure this comment didnt made it all clear, but point is, i wanna act and help others to act, not just complain. If somethings not clear, ask Questions; that normally helps with confusion.

@rodneywilkerson9854 5 лет назад

I'm an old timer; this guy is good. This is how I was taught the trade. Way back they didn't have Ready Mix mud. It was a powder and had to be mixed perfect or you would have lumps. I use to use the old hawk and trowel. The webbing tape is better. Later 8"- 12" inch knives were incorporated to do the bedding. The only fall back about the webbing tape is you can't use it in your angles. Still, have to use paper. I use to wear stilts. I was young and fast I could hang 250 ft roll of tape in 30 minutes. I have used bazookas, bed boxes, angle tools, nail spotters. It is good to watch a professional do it the old fashion way.

So much fun to watch a great craftsman at work. I've tried this and it's a lot harder than it looks.

@markwillride 9 лет назад

Me too. I actually chuckled out loud watching because he's so fast and smooth. I'll know to thin the mud some next time.

@MrPinoyako1985 9 лет назад

John Buffaloe if you love what you doing it wasn't that hard, I've tried this too and of course it's hard in the first time, but when you keep doing it, you will like it...

@theodorep9569 6 лет назад

My thoughts exactly, RU-vid vs when I do it are always very different.

@punrein 6 лет назад

Damn he's fast.

@ChildofGodforevr 6 лет назад

John Buffaloe it really is. But these guys are pros, they do this over and over for years so it’s like breathing for them.

After seeing this video I try to copy your moves man this is skills and good labor at its finest. You seem to be active af with a sense of urgency. Something lots are not aware off.

You guys have got mad skills. Props to the both of you. ✌️

@ant2464 5 лет назад

This guy is phenomenal... Awesome job and thanks for the tips

@RickJones222 7 лет назад

So interesting to watch an expert make it look easy. This is NOT easy, I've tried it. Chad's a craftsman, and has obviously spent years getting good, and fast at this.

@OneEyePI 9 лет назад

I like to watch skilled people at work. Very interesting, thanks for posting

@roncalabrese305 6 лет назад

OneEyePI does this mean you actually know something about the craft.

@loydjenkins 4 года назад

Pro's are cool to watch when they are THIS skilled. Awesome tips... I always make a mess on the floor just getting the mud on the wall.

@Faruk651 2 года назад

He is way to good. Makes you feel like anybody can do taping because he does it so easily and in an artistic way. One of the best drywall taping instructions in youtube.

Wish I watched this a few years ago, I like how you just do it and dont spend 3hrs explaining it.

@drewsuschrist 5 лет назад

and the camerman knew exactly what questions to ask when he got a little *too* into it, haha

@jacjuet1464 4 года назад

How bout doing 3hr but bump it about 2p

@f.i.l.d.e.p.s 4 года назад

@nixonnow33 6 лет назад

PROFESSIONAL!!!! Nicely done! Thank you

@michaelmendillo4614 4 года назад

A Hawk & Trowel, and a Pan & Knife Man ! My kind of man !!! Easy too see you been at this awhile,,, I am retired after 35 yrs, my back is completely fucked ! Wish I could be out there though ! I always loved finishing drywall, and made some good money doing it !!!

@dreckigerbacker8310 2 года назад

Following dry wall videos for a while and saved the comments until I was halfway through, thinking: what do people now have to complain again? But I see, you’re RU-vid approved, congratulations.

@Gizzard4400 7 лет назад

awesome job . thx for the lesson.

@merkinyall 4 года назад

I just got better at taping from watching this. Always cool to see a master do his work. I’m a framer by trade, but I do a lot of remodeling work. It’s so easy to take something away from videos like this. Thanks for sharing

@uptokode 4 года назад

Great comment!

@dmech5135 5 лет назад

A true professional at work! Very rare, like a big foot sighting!

@1965JB 3 года назад

I’m 63 and suddenly I want to live my life over as a taper thanks to this video.

@ottokriete1153 8 лет назад

Wow...... I've been a trim carpenter for 28 years......... worked around many a sheetrocker, but lately I've been doing more general carpentry and have found myself doing small sheetrock work. Looks like I've not been adding nearly enough water to fresh mud, which has made the job a lot more difficult than it should have been. Thanks so much for putting this up...... it will help a lot. I have no desire to do more sheetrock work, but if I do, I want to do as good a job as I can........

@twistedsymbolics 6 лет назад

more water equals thinner mud. The result is way less sanding and a smoother glide. Of course too much water and you are just wasting your time and materials.

@heckshotgamer652 10 лет назад

I'm glad I watched this. I'm mudding/taping tomorrow in my basement, and would have done the corners 1st. I'm and electrician by trade so I can bend pipe and pull wire like this guy but Damn, he's good.

@9and7 10 лет назад

Not good, phenomenal. One of the best on the 'net, hands down.

@phillipbridge5009 4 года назад

As a tiler , waterproofer....this dudes work is perfection! Also good working with a team explaining stuff...

@johnwaters7847 3 года назад

Great decision 👏 👏👏👏 Woman also can make a decent salary in construction

@traveler7353 2 года назад

So finishers don't hang the drywall they just come in to mud and tape?

@ghettoaquatics5244 2 года назад

Yo if this dudes your hero im here to take his cape . look into hoppers and banjos ! This is like the 1980s way of taping . i dont know how people still do it like this and keep up production. It doesnt even do a better job his way 😒🤦

@cdurkinz 5 лет назад

I'm a painter and sometimes I have to do a little of this.... you guys make it look so easy lol. I cannot for the life of me figure out how you guys get such straight runs of mud. When I get done it's wavy on the outsides so I know I'm doing it wrong. Also probably takes me 10 times as long as you guys to get the same look. (mostly lol)

@DeuceGenius 2 года назад

Press harder use thinner mud

@TheHempforlife 3 года назад

Awesome job! Thanks guys. We need more professionals teaching people so they can get off the couch and work.

@dgruszka249 4 года назад

I don't do drywall very often, maybe once a year or less, but when I get to mudding I always come back to this video to get my mind right.

@david9783 5 лет назад

I am a carpenter,who also has done lots of drywall,but I never would have reached your level of expertise.That is hard work,and someone like me is a pro at making it even harder.It is so easy to have a nightmare on your hands.Thanks for showing us how it is REALLY done!

@uptokode 5 лет назад

I am a carpenter as well and know exactly what you mean! That’s why I have Chad is so many of my videos.
