Dude thank you so much for making these videos. I’m just starting out and my dad passed away so I got all his level five tools and I have no idea how to work on this and other videos you’ve made have been a lifesaver and I feel energized to go out there and earn some money.
Great video Brian the only other thing I have to add is to try to leave your lot marks with the angle box on a joint flat giant but joint whatever because you are sending that joint regardless
Beginning after you figure out how much labor this is, your going to spend extra and buy the mud runner . Your still a good teacher. My least favorite tool in drywall. 😂
Q1. Do u thin mud first using water? Q2. How did you get your mud out of the store bought bucket into the 5 gallon bucket so easily? Q3. Does the Amazon $1200 basic bazooka come with the pump or must pay another $600 for it? Q4. How to clean the machine? Q5. On the beginners video you used the standard bazooka for inside corners. In a later video you used an inside box. When would I need to switch? Q6. Do I need to go back over in the corners with my trowel if I cannot get the clean look or stretch my tape like you do? Q7. I noticed you hung your drywall with a horizontal seam. I’m not used to doing that. I usually hang vertically. Thank you so much. Do you usually start with the upper sheet first then add the lower sheet? Q 8. Do I need to go back over with layers of trowel if I do a butt joint? This unit looks super complicated to use but your video is fantastic. I could hear you well and these videos were informative. I could not have used this gun without watching.
Good videos. A tip for your vids: mix a color chaulk into your mud. So when the camera zooms in we can see what your referring to for over fill etc. Easier to see a color instead of white on white.
I recently bought a used corner box and the gasket is "chattering" like you said. I put some lubricant on there to loosen it up but it's still very sticky. It's way too snug. Any ideas ? Thanks
What brand corner box? There's some adjustments that can be made depending on the brand. Feel free to send me an email with more info at Brian@drywallnation.com
I didn't think you could tape with a flusher then finish coat with an angle head. I thought the inside of the angle would be too rounded from the flusher for how sharp the angle head makes it. Learned something new.
bro do a video about how to adjust the angle head... I've checked through all the shops in Ontario and i can tell you that no1 knows how to do that. there was one guy at CSR back in a day who knew how to do it... but he quit.
I’m learning this tool and the whole crew hates it. It’s now my job. The box is referred to as satans box on our jobs. It’s very tough to get the correct pressure to evenly coat. Almost takes 4 passes. It is a total workout And it is torture after a few rooms. Seems like it needs oiled and maintained better. All we do is soak it in water, which I feel is not proper maintenance. Any suggestions?
Hi Matt. Sorry for the late reply. The corner box definitely takes some getting used to. It's all about mud consistency and applying the proper pressure. Make sure to check out the rest of the videos in this series to understand how to properly clean and lubricate the corner box, that will make a big difference. Hope that helps, if you have any other questions feel free to send me an email at Brian@drywallnation.com. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uWDg2KKZK04.html
Lol! Semantics. Do you think I just make up these terms on a whim? You're right, Angle Box is a common term used by finishers. However, almost every tool manufacturer in the industry calls it a "corner box" or "corner applicator". Inside corner, inside angle. Same thing.
@@drywallnation when Ames put automatic tools on the market in the 50s it was and still is an Angle box. All your so called manufacturers are a direct copy of the original patent . And couldn’t figure out how to improve on the original design and aren’t smart enough to know the difference between an angle and a corner
Well, I'm not trying to argue with you. But you're wrong again. Literally on the Ames website, it's called a "universal corner applicator." Even "angleheads" are called "corner finishers."
Well you guys down below must not be tapers for a living because the corner box way of doing angles is much faster and if your mud is not to loose finishing three ways is easy as far as the tube goes it works good but if you use a direct flusher with it you have to make your mud like soup and clean up is much more that way what i do is use the corner box way if doing piece work cus it faster and less clean up and i use the tube and flusher way for hourly work so you get your full 8 hours in and your foreman see's you working all the time it just tricks of the trade.
You're a great teacher. But man, finishing corners with a corner box is like taping them with the good old painter's roller and your god heavy 5 gallons in your hands. But i understand you're probably sponsored by level5 to do those videos.
@@Rob-mv7oj Get a mud tube, put the angle head on it, give it a shot. You will soon realise 1: you can do 4 times more angles without refilling 2: you won't have that junction in the middle for vetical angles 3: you work wayyyy less 4: you can finish your ceiling corner to corner, so you have minimal 3-way to finish by hand 5: it's wayyy faster. 6: if you find it too hard to do your ceilings from the floor, you can get on your stilts. And on and on and on.
@@ProbeGT2 true it holds more mud but then you're stuck trying to maneuver some giant heavy tube full of mud around a room and there's no way to fit inside closets. Id personally prefer to make more trips to the pump then burning out my back and shoulders carrying all that extra wieght around. My cornerbox handle is also extendable so I don't have an issue with reaching high ceilings, and as far as 3 ways go, I can get my box right into the corner pretty tight with little touch ups. I'm just a bigger fan of the box over the compound tube but to each their own I guess.
