Watching you on your channel gave me the courage to skim coat my whole house… hated the textured walls. Then I went on to fixing a crack in my ceiling drywall. Success! You are truly a teacher! Thank you!

@lespaul36 10 месяцев назад

If not for this guy and one other (also Canadian) i would have hired people. I had to cut open walls to do my old trade (electrical and telecom\datacom). Cutting a lot of walls open to do my original intent. My first couple of [atches were dogs**t. After watching many vids, I am pretty proud of my patches. I cannot texture for crap though LOL.

@@lespaul36 watching ben from skate videos to this is probably one of my greatest experience. from learning crooked grinds to learning how to skimcoat my own house. i learned it all from ben

My husband and I remodeled our entire basement and later renovated a rental property. Your videos are absolutely the best and helped us do the drywall work needed. Thank you for what you do and being a great teacher!

@skiball83 10 месяцев назад

Im so happy you went back to the beginning. Honestly the best drywall teacher out there. My first drywall job went so smooth because of you buddy. Thanks.

@Blayzn18 10 месяцев назад

This is really helpful. Some of the simple things don't get filmed because everyone thinks "meh everyone knows" but this actually shows some of those often overlooked things. Those little things add up to a better looking job, less failure over time, and make the job so much easier when done right!

@1965JB 10 месяцев назад

I’m 65 years old, laid up with Sciatica, and this video has me wishing I had a few rooms to tape. Great video once again.

@ClaytonBigsby5452 10 месяцев назад

Ben, I’ve been watching your videos for years. So helpful with many small projects. However, after watching your work, whenever I have a big project that involves a lot of taping, everything you’ve shown has convinced me to hire a professional. And I mean that with the utmost respect. You’re so good at what you do. Mad respect!

@philipcatuogno2968 9 месяцев назад

Just showed this video to my teenage son who wants to help his old man rock a 1950s home we are renovating. The best teaching videos. Thank you. The younger generation needs more hands-on work. Cheers!

@michaelpacini2169 10 месяцев назад

This Channel is amazing. I have been doing maintenance/construction work for all of my life but was never taught the official way of doing things. My mudding and drywall knowledge was gained through experience and this channel has really helped me tighten up my skills. I've learned the importance of using corners, what kind and where to place the drywall tape and the importance of various mudding products. This guy teaches things in a way that i never could. So if you are new and wondering if this channel is worth your times, i give an enthusiastic YES.

@wadebeauchaine1297 7 месяцев назад

I've done a fair amount of sheetrock work, though not a professional, and just recently found your videos. It's good to see that I have not been too far off on how to tape joints. You make it look so easy. I have certainly learned some tips and tricks from watching. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.

@PeterKeefe 17 дней назад

Everytime I do drywall, I search for you and watch a video to refresh. Great tips and technique as always, thanks!

@jimsubtle886 10 месяцев назад

I wish I would have been able to watch this video years ago. So many simple mistakes I have made in past projects. This is such a great primer of how to avoid more work in later sanding steps. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!

@philjacksonphoto 8 месяцев назад

Dude, I'm a furniture maker / trim carpenter down here in Austin and you have helped me SO MUCH with the drywall work I'm doing in my own home. I cannot thank you enough for these videos. You rule :)

@DD-ur2iq 7 месяцев назад

I watch a lot of content on RU-vid University and I gotta say this is one of the BEST teachers I've seen ever regardless of content. The Vancouver Carpenter speaks very well and the video is organized. WELL DONE SIR!

@tombauer7330 8 месяцев назад

Best basic taping video I've seen. We had water damaged sheet rock in a closet from an overhead HVAC air handler that froze up over a clogged drain pan. Tore out all of the sheet rock as we are in Florida and mold is an issue. Dried the wood over 3 weeks and now am taping the new sheet rock. I have the tools but not the talent. Thanks for doing this video! It was a great help.

@joeyoungs8426 10 месяцев назад

I’ve always had very good outcomes doing my own drywall work. The most significant tip I got on this channel that made life so much easier was thinning the mud when taping. Total game changer for me. Thanks VC.

Thanks for doing a 101-level taping video. I watched some of your other drywall videos a couple years ago, but I needed this one to be more successful on my DYI stuff. Good work considering your prior content and what some parts of audience may be interested in.

@daveplenty5495 9 месяцев назад

When it's made to look easy you know you are witnessing a true professional in their field. You make it look easy, and your attention to detail in the explanation, belies the detailed extent of your knowledgeable understanding of your trade. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

@kimolee8358 7 месяцев назад

You are an excellent instructor! Very clear and concise. No over explaining. Great techniques Very helpful and much appreciated. I went out and bought a hawk and trowel today and tried them because of this video. Still getting used to them but liking using them in addition to my various knives. Didn't know about that prep step, e.g., chamfering butt edges, filling big gaps.Thanks!

I have become a Jedi master caulking! I never was worth a crap at caulk! But I watch and practiced your technique! My bathroom came out perfect! Just wanted to say your videos helped me and my wife tremendously on renovating my parents house! Sold it last year! Thank you my friend!

@mattski1979 3 месяца назад

My friend who was insane at taping would one at a time screw hole mud them so he could remember that there was only the first coat. If there was a line then you knew it was second or third coat. You run jobs you have a lot of stuff going on in your head. It seemed helpful to do. I like your videos. I live in textured coated heaven because apparently people in the Portland, OR area aren't gifted or all that interested in mudding walls correctly. Your work looks sweet. Thank you for the lesson.

@marcuscicero9587 7 месяцев назад

pretty physical activity, but not nearly so rough as frame carpentry. always had a fascination with the tapers when I was a young guy bangin nails. at 68 taping is what I enjoy now. rarely do big jobs. no production tools but I do power sand. I watch this man closely he is excellent. a treasure trove of tips

@mujthiru3223 8 месяцев назад

This video series has been invaluable to me, never taped and jointed before, and wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near a half-decent finish without them. I ended up watching a whole load of Vancouver Carpenter's other videos, and the amount of quality content packed in is very impressive. Thanks very much, please keep doing what you do

Your videos would have made it easier, faster and better. Oh well. I still watch just in case. You never know what the future will bring. Plus it’s weirdly interesting to see what I did wrong.

I came back for a quick refresher before I start tomorrow. Thanks

@brodie29a 9 месяцев назад

thanks to your videos my tapping skills have improved greatly, here in st. louis drywallers and tappers are 2 different trades, drywall and non paper bead is ours and tapping and mudding is the painters. thanks to side work everyone wants me to tape ; ; so i had to learn and i dont get much time to watch the tapers because im trying to stay far enough ahead of them so they have work.

@richardgab7591 7 месяцев назад

Been production taping in new residential since 1986, mostly in Alberta. I now do repairs and service work. When taping new work I most definitely v-cut my butt joints and cut out any loose paper and prefill with concrete fill or thick taping mud. Most in my trade DO NOT do this, and it shows up later on warranty work. When people are paid by piece work without quality control by a supervisor, they often cut corners and leave problems for the painters. You do a good job of explaining the basics, and could teach apprentice tapers how to do it right.
