Seems to me that traditional drywall and blueboard is outdated,theres got to be a better way to finish interior walls.

No sanding needed?

Does America still use traditional plaster or is it all tape and jointed now?

how should you hang stuff on a plaster wall ? ? carefully ?lol or use a strip of wood before?

Todays materials are cheap and made out of the poorest quality megacorp can do and legally get away with. Back then people made homes to last just like all there products last now they're planned obsolescence so there's shareholders can make money.

Why did they add sand if it reduces strength?

Please tell me at the Gypsum Association Global Headquarters, there's a statue to this guy.

Looks like Ward Cleaver

My house was built in 1915 with this method.

What other countries have done it this way..lol😂😂

Wow thats how are grandfathers wored.. unbelievable... design by genusese but ran today by dummy's

18:00 For those of you that were unaware, that was the Canadian flag before we got the Maple Leaf.

my god i love gypsum 😔

You need a 2024 edition of this type of video.

Very educational and perfect for a school assignment I need to do. It could use an update though.

I’ve been a plaster for 40 years good to see traditional plaster we used a lot sand cement back in day new houses it’s all dot dab today not lot young lads do it which’s is a shame bloke in the film looks good trade man’s 🇬🇧🇬🇧

my little house from 1957 has this type wall plaster, hard as rock. no cracks. the trade has been simplified to save labor , drywall of today is not as durable but is much faster to complete

Plaster walls are better at sound dampening, but drywall with tape n mud is better overall. You can hang pictures. Make repairs diy. If rolled bats of insulation tree added to interior walls n ceilings, then sound is dampened - almost as good as plaster.

I'm not a plasterer so I remove the least possible amount of plaster when renovating.

You can really tell that guy is a pro buy a how slick his hair is😂

You mean they didn't have cordless drills and screws ? And the Architec was the only guy with a tape measure ? And the Expert didn't have any idea how toxic the coatings on nails are ? Yeah , That was the generation that gave birth to all those babies that screwed everything up and voted for biden . Now you know not to put drywall nails in your mouth .

Commentors , very often , take themselves way , I say , way more seriously than they oughta

Watching in my mobile home. I look around me...... I feel cheated.

Nice

When you got paid to work 🇺🇲

Nailing ,specially near the edges, without splitting the Gypsum board is an art in itself!

👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

sharp hammer

That’s the kind of board my 1950 house is made with. Full one inch thick. 1/4” board with another 3/4” over that. I’ve had contractors in and they’ve told me they’ve never seen it done that way before but it’s solid as a rock.

Back when the working class was known as craftsman, artisans instead of contractors. I wonder if the illigal labor was just as skilled in those days.

That’s not traditional lath and plaster, that’s just small gypsum board. Real lath and plaster is timber slats with a small place between them, and the gypsum lime is troweled over…brilliant nailing skills though

Back when construction had Craftsman instead of fly by night illegals.

All those nail in your mouth for years cant be healthy???

Dude 😂 is this sped up? That’s amazing

Talent has disappeared over the years.

Been in construction all my life ,just learned what the blade is for on a sheet rock hammer! 😂 never seen anyone use the blade

This is not lathing and plaster.😢

I’m a plumber, and have worked in houses built as far back as the Civil War. Plaster walls and ceilings have always intrigued me. I always approach tearing into them for a plumbing repair with great respect. It breaks my heart having to destroy something that has been in place with no defects for so, so long. It especially hurts if I am forced to remove and destroy any plaster moulding - I do my very best to stay away from it, even if it is going to require an inordinate amount of time and effort to make a plumbing repair. I have seen so many different methods used and types of lath used for plaster work and have always wondered why there are so many different ways to do it - I have just chalked it up to the evolution of the discovery of better ways or more efficient ways to do it. I know that most plumbers will just take a hammer to it and not think twice about the time and skill it took to originally install it. I take the opposite approach and do whatever I can to preserve as much history as possible. I have a great respect for plasterers of years gone by who are most likely no longer with us. Their work has passed the test of time. I do know that this skill has faded away to almost nonexistent because it is extremely difficult for people to find somebody who can make satisfactory repairs to the damage a plumber will do to their plaster. And, if they do find somebody with the skills to do it properly, it costs them dearly - as it should. Plastering is an art that is deserving of the highest pay.

If you ever have to remove this plaster lathe off oak studs, bring your lunch - and supper.

He looks like the beavers dad

I use C Panel galvanized metal roofing for my interior walls Its whats for dinner

I still don't believe it is possible in real life to sink a nail in sheetrock like that. This is black magic. I've done my share of sheetrock and even with a real screw gun I still have problems

They had to move an insane amount plaster to put a 1/2 inch over every wall.

NICE!

4:42 then along came the bean counters who said “why are we using plaster at all? After all WE don’t have to live here.”

What’s a darby?

Why don't we talk in this accent anymore

Oʻ0p😊😮e6😅4e

the fact that this dude puts like 10 nails perfectly aligned in his mouth in half a second is impressive

Thanks nerd!
