I gotta tell you, man, you're really a refreshing voice in the weird world that is tool reviews--I was telling people with complete amazement that you said you preferred the DeWalt 12 over the Milwaukee 10 straight up as opposed to, "Well, for different jobs..." and even though it's a $110 brush and you probably wouldn't have been able to pull over the "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT A $110 BRUSH WILL DO" video over on people, it's really a stand-up thing to do. If you're half as honest with your customers, you deserve every bit of business you get and more.

@FinishCarpentryTV 6 лет назад

HogsHeadStudios thanks a lot!

@HogsHeadStudios 6 лет назад

Any time and always--you've got me trying to get the hell away from flooring and into more finish work!

@FinishCarpentryTV 6 лет назад

HogsHeadStudios I actually am really interested in flooring. You should make some videos!

@HogsHeadStudios 6 лет назад

Haha, the installation we do is mostly tile in restaurant kitchens/retail stores, but I do hardwood refinishing on the side--you talking about being able to do stuff like paint/frame/trim and just generally wear many hats as a huge asset got me to thinking about flooring and finish work. I'm cleaning up after a college kid now who bailed mid-project who was sort of doing the same thing, just totally in the wrong order (floors, then paint the walls, then do the trim?). When you're working on old houses versus historic homes around here (I work in Mass, there's a reason TOH started here), in one room you'll often find 60s carpet over 300sqft of beautiful hardwood that usually doesn't need a lot of work along with 60+ LF of baseboard, Wainscoting and big crown. And people typically want to keep the authenticity of the home without going broke or putting you up for months, so you can A) make a lot of money in one place and B) the referrals are way better and usually worth at least as much as the job itself. I quote anywhere between $3-7sqft for sanding/refinishing ("condition" aka how flush the edges are/water damage, nails/holes, shape of the room, if they have any specific finish requests, etc), but I know when to pass on floors that I know I don't have the equipment or manpower to prep. Other than regrouts and touch-up, I mostly turn down residential tile jobs, but there's good money in regrouts (my baseline is $3/sqft on up), again especially if you can bundle. You have to deal with light plumbing (remove & replace toilets, pedestal sinks, etc) but it's kinda fun--vanity installs and stuff like that are good money, and all this stuff keeps you in place for a few days in a row, which I really prefer. I've seen some good videos on flooring but maybe I'll contribute myself! If you have hardwoods in your rental or some iffy tile, you should see if your landlord would let you tackle refinishing/repair--I learned to refinish doing work on the side for my landlord and my mother-in-law, it was a great opportunity. Shoot me a message if you want some info on products for tiling--I'm not much an expert on finish/wood flooring products but I can point you in the direction you want for tile. Awesome to hear from you either way--almost like being part of a community helps you make more money!

@jessekrestal1081 3 года назад

@@FinishCarpentryTV watching this very late.. Im not sure if your opinions on this paint are but you're likely spreading it too thin and "playing" in it too much. I liked it a LOT but the emerald urethane trim enamel is worlds apart. Have used them both in Pittsburgh and Vegas so very different climates/humidity levels and temps.

@seanmcaleavy2369 6 лет назад

Just a tip from a lifelong painter who actually went through an old-school apprenticeship. When painting trim, or anything for that matter, you want to start your stroke from the unpainted side of the piece and paint into what has already been painted.For instance, if working from right to left, as is being done here, you would start at the corner and stroke left to begin, but then all subsequent strokes would be from left to right, (ie. from unpainted into the previously painted area). This eliminates lap marks. It is especially important to do this with modern latex paints as they dry way too fast and the window for working the brush marks out of the paint has been drastically reduced. The latex extender products do greatly help but you have to test them first with the paint that you are using because they are incompatible with certain paints and can screw with the sheen. For example, Flotrol works great with Ever-Guard paint but when used with Dunn Edwards it will turn semi-gloss almost flat. I am not trying to be some "know it all" dipshit here, just throwing out a useful tip for anybody who may want to use some tried and true techniques. Peace

@Road_to_Tolaria 6 лет назад

Your advice is correct. I would add to that: Don't wipe your brush on the side of the can. You just took off more than 1/2 paint you dipped to put on. Tap the brush on the inside side of the can instead. Tap both sides. I like using full gallon cans as well for the space to do this. Another advantage is that it will help keep paint at the top of the brush from drying out, because you won't be smearing it out thin. Second advice, if your painting with waterborne, before you begin, wet your brush in water. Then shake out all the access. Keeps the hairs flowing smoothly and reduces efforts when it comes time to clean. Love your work. I learned a lot from watching you.

@seanmcaleavy2369 6 лет назад

Good advice! What I like to do with the gallon can is run a regular kitchen can opener around the top of the can to remove the whole top lid receptacle. That extra inch in the diameter of the can opening makes a huge difference and also helps when tapping the brush on the inside of the can. Of course, this should not be done if you only have that single can and you are not going to be using all of the paint.

@hj8607 6 лет назад

was true for oil and even more so for faster drying latex . level into the wet or you will drag( thin out) and brush stroke the wet . (may not show till it dries )

@briansierzega 6 лет назад

Great advice with working back into the wet edge and tapping the bristles inside the can (esp using an expensive brush like this one). Constantly rubbing the bristles on that metal edge will deteriorate them very quickly... Question for you guys: When painting trim, base, molding, etc, etc....(and assuming you are painting the walls after), have you ever used a 3.5” hot dog roller to apply, then lay it off with a brush? Just curious if you have and if you got good results. I showed this to an ‘experienced’ painter once, and he looked at me like I was nuts..lol

@Road_to_Tolaria 6 лет назад

Brian Sierzega I'll "roll and tip" moldings it casings if I'm pre-painting the first coat before install. I don't generally do it after because I find it a bit hectic for my taste. But, if it's giving you good results keep it up

I love all of your videos. I am 45 and am a life long carpenter and you are an inspiration I have been a trim carpenter for the past 20 years everywhere from Georgia to Maine and D.C. to Montana I have worked with some great artisans of our craft. But at your age to learn the things you have is amazing. Thank you for the videos. I know you are more a trim carpenter than a painter but I would love to see a video on paint additives.

@jake9716 6 лет назад

"You pay this much for a brush and you see a bristle come out, you almost die a little inside" 😂 Nice looking brush but I'll stick to a Purdy or Wooster.

@deman817 5 лет назад

I have been painting for many years and I have used the Luks brush. It's not worth it. I am a Wooster man at heart but I have some Purdy brushes I love for certian projects. The biggest deal with brushes is the quality and type of bristles. Certian bristles react and lay different paints better. I wouldn't use my exterior brush on interior work or visa versa. 90% of the quality of the paint job relies on the person behind the brush. Don't go cheap but $25-35 is plenty for a solid reliable brush.

@keilow885 2 года назад

I'm with you on that wooster gold edge and silver tip but the good thing about purdy monarch is its inbetween the two making it the perfect all rounder

I’ve heard you mention in the past that you try to stay humble and teachable. This video is a perfect example of that. Good on you for not bowing up and raving about a $110 paint brush just to justify the purchase. You gained several metric tons of credibility with me by doing this review.

@Flores828 6 лет назад

I was always told it's not the tools but the person using the tools that make quality work. I see these tool review channels and they always using the newest tools but I've seen some bad ass carpenters etc using cheap tools but their work speaks for itself

@Texasknowhow 6 лет назад

Do you have a video which explains your method of painting trim (Crown esp ) as it pertains to Wall first or second, the cut in you use, etc - we bought a house and Someone installed pre primed crown, and never painted it after! We are painting walls too. Enjoying all the videos. You are a great teacher and easy to watch/listen to. Keep it up, Clay

@mcsportcer6792 4 года назад

It could be a bunch of reasons I'm a painter and I'll say it could be because it doesn't leave as much brush marks or it's an easy brush to clean up or is made for a specific task or specific finish I like your channel

@skhateanddestroy1252 6 лет назад

Try the Emerald Urethane, I highly recommend it! Also, if you tap your brush on the inside of the can after you dip it, it will hold more paint. I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing, peace!

@bearwoodcarpentry 6 лет назад

The cost represents the packaging, the cover gizmo , and the superior construction materials, shaping of the wood etc, the bristles will be the same i am sure as other top brands. A decent painter will do a superb job even with below par equipment, a nice item to own for the kudos but not necessary. Now where did i leave my Festool slippers?

@vegaflores48 6 лет назад

first, I love your channel ,, 2nd,, that brush is like an expensive watch,, it gives you the exact same time as a 10 bucks digital but it looks better and feels better and builds up your confidence

@construction-productscemen4935 6 лет назад

@oldproji 6 лет назад

Good brushes are quick and easy to work with but that price you paid does sound excessive. But you never know until you use one. I use Hamilton Prestige brushes here in the UK and a 3 inch Purdy. The Purdy cost £23 (30$) and the Hamilton Prestige brushes around £ 8 -12 (10 -16$) each. For any DIYer like myself these may seem expensive, but they are a real treat to work with. I always rinse out new brushes in warm water before using them just to get rid of any factory debris that may be in them. Perfectionists always look beyond cost of course. You do some great work by the way. Also, as a perfectionist, you should clean all paint from the rim of the can with a clean cloth soaked in brush cleaner/water so that the lid fits with a proper air seal. Another tip that was given to me is to cover the ferrule with some masking tape before painting. It saves some hard cleaning at the end of the day.

@hj8607 6 лет назад

I think your evaluation of the brush is on the mark . When oil base was the only game in town (with any finish quality) I had Leibco Angular silk fine bristle (chinese bristle and ox hair etc. ) brushes that today would price at 60 - 75 $. Latex paints (water) can only be used with man made bristles that are no where near as rare or expensive . But paint stores see guys that think price can buy them talent walk in the door every day and they are ready for them !!

@peteryeung111 6 лет назад

Nice honest review...even if you'd said it paints by itself, I'd still buy the Purdy for $19.99

@davidbalderston2751 6 лет назад

I prefer a Purdy 3" Moose brush. It's only around $17 @ Home Depot, but it doesn't come with a fancy box, just a standard shuck! On a different note, I've got to say that your videos are awesome, not only because you explain in great detail what you do and why, but also because you are a seem to be a very methodical and ethical person.

@ouimetco 3 года назад

I like and use purdy, been professionally painting for 25 years. They are excellent quality and if for some reason I screw one up it does not hurt so so much at 20-25 a pop. Cheers

@flippopotamuss 3 года назад

Another great video man. I paint a bit, but not on the level of a pro painter with decades under their belt. That brush looked great and I would assume the value would show more as you use over the next few jobs. Some things I look for would be.. Of course how well it holds and spreads paint, hand fatigue during the job, ease of clean up, and longevity of use. I’m willing to bet as it breaks in you will like it more and more. I liked the resting nubs, I think more brushed should include that feature to save on carpenters pencils. The packaging was very trendy, but a plastic wrap would suit me just fine. Just never...ever evaever.. let a customer use it! They just don’t clean them right...

@ultimateimpressionsautodet3065 5 лет назад

Just wanna tell you that you do amazing work. Keep up the excellent work. In this video towards the end you showed a transition piece for the crown moulding. Not sure if you had a video on how to do that so perhaps you can make a video on how to cut that transition piece. Would love to see it. Thanks.

As a DIY'er I love finding great sources of information and very much appreciate the level of detail and commentary you offer. While a $110 brush is outside my realm, I am about to kick off a trim/door project. Replacing everything in the house, so we're not covering existing paint. That said, I did start off with the common DIY'er paint... Behr. After a few doors I have to say it sucks. :-) Given your comments about Sherwin Williams paint, what would YOU choose for your house?

the brush may last a lot longer than other brushes. i noticed you taped under yor moulding before painting. does the paint come of the wall when you remove the tape? and doesnt it sometimes bleed through if the wall has a texture? ive painted the moulding before installation in the past and touched it up where needs be afterwoods.

If you put some nail holes around the rim of the paint can it will allow the paint to fall back into the bucket instead of having to try and brush the paint back into the can

@choimdachoim9491 4 года назад

A few things I notice about the brush...the bristles seem much longer than typical brushes, they seem to stick together better instead of spreading out by the end of the day and the bristles are not bunched in the typical flat configuration. Maybe this different bunching holds more paint. I personally cannot do trim without a skew. The skewed brush was one of the greatest discoveries of my entire life. I do love Purdys but I'm also a big fan of cheap brushes. Some of them are really good. I especially love the really cheap ones with hollow plastic handles. Painting overhead all day with wood Purdys will wear you out.

@adamr5535 6 лет назад

More expense gives u a longer lasting brush, easier cleaning properties, bristles stay stiffer over a longer time, finer brush strokes, and it seems like a perfect fine trim brush, not meant for big area but more setting up the borders without tape and small trim. It worth it in the long term for a premium brush like that, and bristles will stay in place for a lifetime of use usually. I inherited my dad's premium brushes after he retired from commercial and private paint jobs and I still use them, but a premium wide and narrow brush should be available for any job if ur a painter. Just wash it good with mineral spirits and rinse with water keeping it clean is essential.

What I can tell is that if I roll over it with a 3" roller to blend it, it's all fine. If I use it alone it leaves brush marks - but so I read about the Purdy in a review. Any advice?

It's an elliptical brush. You should compare it to the Richards Fat Boy brush. Sells for $25.00 CDN - no idea what it would sell for in the U.S. Stiff bristles are for cutting. You tape your joints, so you really don'y need that brush.
