Building My Shop : How To Drywall, Plywood Walls & Fiber Cement Panels

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks for watching y'all! In next week's video, I'll be covering installing vinyl plank flooring in the front area, so get subscribed and stay tuned for that! Thanks to 84 Lumber for sponsoring this, find a location near you: bit.ly/84LUMBER

[@pennyjensen5959]

On a video that you posted on Instagram where there was some guys moving a cabinet or something, I swear I saw a friend of mine, was it Mark Vieth?

[@craftedworkshop]

Not sure, I hired a moving company!

i don't know how many square meters of drywall i have placed in my life but i can say for sure you did a great job! well explained video. Well done.... once again!

[@SSBailey77845]

Johnny, you're in my world now! First, Justin has some mad skills...I hope you bought a nice bottle of "brown water" for him! Second, a $5 wrecking bar worked for me 30 years ago and still works great...a razor knife pried over a thumb is a good bottle opener!

[@craftedworkshop]

Oh I’m definitely paying Justin for the work, he’s been working with me daily for close to a month now! And yea, a bar works great but we both loved that lifter for $12!

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Good job. What kind of screw are used to secure plywood? Drywall screws or wood screws? Please advise.

[@nafnaf0]

Nice job with the drywall, one of the better videos I have seen

[@DetachedGarage]

Great video on some alternative wall covering solutions for Workshops/Garages. Great content!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@DetachedGarage]

Crafted Workshop 👍👍

[@AndreaArzensek]

A lot of work but well worth it. Your shop is going to look awesome and it'll make me jealous for sure. Keep up the great videos.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot!

[@CMAenergy]

was taught t leave a gap between all dry wall before muding, This allows the drywall to bond when the mud is pressed into the seem, otherwise after a few years the seems will crack from movement. temp etc.

[@CReevesMakes]

I hate drywall! I appreciate people that can mud like that! Also, thanks for the tip on undercutting outlet openings! Keep it up Johnny! Its comin together!

[@DerekConwayTX]

CONGRATS on the new shop!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@sgsax]

You know it's a pro doing the drywall mudding when you only have to sand the last coat. I've had a lot of practice on my own house, but I still have to sand a lot. Looking good! Thanks for sharing!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! Justin definitely knows what’s up, so glad to have his help.

[@hondaboy945]

I cannot wait have a shop one of these days. Looking good.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Kris!

[@dbergman23]

I have a couple of questions, but first my comments. I love the fact that you used plywood to wrap the shop, as i believe its a lot better to hang tools and such from. You dont have to worry about finding a stud to hang most things, and it wont break as easily as drywall. My question though is about the office and front area. Why did you do a mix of drywall and plywood. I can doing the office itself with wood, but why wasnt the outside of it drywall? Is it just because the drywall sucks so much?

[@debybrooke157]

really coming together! i'm beginning to realize why it took so long to build our house - so much work involved with the drywall process!

[@CamrunThomas]

Dont ever judge someone elses work, if you have never done it yourself

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the new shop space Johnny! Thanks for sharing the video. 👌👍😎JP

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks JP!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Johnny!😎

[@Manny.64]

Amazing to see the new progress !!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@CrafterMaker]

Shop is looking so good. This is so exiting! 🤗 😀.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot!

The moving time lapse 👍 can’t wait to see the next episode 👏👏👏

[@asianoodleman7587]

Man I LOVE this series!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot!

[@ReallyGhey]

Loving this series 😎

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@chrissinsigalli7336]

Really enjoying following this project! Didn't even know 84 Lumber was still around!---even found one hiding in my area.

[@walterbartek6830]

I've heard that its good practice to do taping vertical, then horizontal, then corners. This way the horizontal tape covers the tails of the vertical tape, and the corner tape covers the tails of the horizontal tape.

[@TheLingonator]

doesn't really matter here, the vertical tails ended up in the bevels of the horizontal joints before the feathering passes of mud so everything stays flat either way

[@anthonyfauci2343]

Looks very nice & neat. Good job! I'm jealous of your spot.

[@SKTWoodDesign]

This was well done! - You learnt a lot and I learnt a lot too.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@n-gov]

A Giraff drywall Sander is so worth it when drywalling!

[@SilvaSRT4]

I am a day away from mounting plywood on the walls in my garage remodel, so this video came at a PERFECT time. I have been stressing about cutting the openings for Jboxes, and your angle tip made my jaw drop lol. So simple, but I can already tell it will make like so much easier. Great work!

[@craftedworkshop]

That’s awesome, good luck on it!

[@Dfrantz87]

Nice job brother! Been working my kitchen rebuild and I'm looking forward to moving and setting up a new shop soon. Thanks for this vid!

[@larscw74]

I learned a lot from this video, thanks. I checked out where my closest 84 lumber store would be and that would be 3 hours and 17 min away from me.

[@craftedworkshop]

That’s great, Lars! And that’s a bit of a trip, not sure how far they’ll deliver.

[@amwtm]

I put 3/8" plywood behind the drywall in my shop so I could hang anything anywhere without worrying about finding a stud. It works out really well

[@craftedworkshop]

That sounds sweet!

[@marklongchamps8002]

The first video i have ever seen on You Tube where the blade guard was not "removed for clarity" on a table saw ;) Great job on your shop.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, thanks! And the blade guard makes the dust collection work better!

[@bkxc]

So many screws! Digging the series so far

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, no kidding!

[@Gehlleny]

Freaking awesome!! Congrats!!! Nice job!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thank you!

[@sharynhughes1061]

Awesome! and you make it look easy. Having the right tools does the job . ThankU!

[@drewaugust]

I always thought if I had to drywall some rooms I would hang it myself, but hire out someone to come mud and tape. I think I could do it, but the pros make it look so good and less frustration on my part.

[@craftedworkshop]

I would definitely pay someone to do it. It sucks!

[@MadeByMarylou]

Looks awesome so far! Thanks for sharing!

[@loidis9347]

The plywood you used is gorgeous - lovely grain. Where can I get this type of plywood please?

[@mikededmon]

Thanks for the shoutout at 11:48 ;)

[@craftedworkshop]

😂

[@heyimamaker]

Looking soo good!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Looking good Johnny! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Fred!

[@JohnnyS37]

Johnny! I'm really loving this shop build series! I can't wait to see next weeks video! Keep killin' it, man! 🙂🤙🏼

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot man!

[@mmagbee]

.. very satisfying. well done!

[@HickLif3]

When I have to put screws in a panel vertically I just hang my take measure off of it, it basically becomes a plum-bob. Quick, simple, and I already have the tape measure on me

[@zhifangwang1367]

Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoy watching your videos. I have learnt a lot from you. I want to change my one car garage into my workshop. The garage has drywalls. How can I change them into plywood walls? Thanks 🙏

[@chris_mastoroudes]

What happens next? Do you paint the plywood? Or do you leave it like that? I mean, obviously you can paint it any colour you like right?

[@bradbusch9585]

Excellent video

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@WelcomeToJ]

*Line laser is the real MVP.*

[@craftedworkshop]

No kidding!

[@leonardorojas1781]

It's looking very good! I definitely need a laser level!! Leaving marks on the plywood is so unprofessional. Good job!

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, thanks!

[@loidis9347]

what type of plywood did you use please? It looks cool!

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Hey my Brothers you guy's are Rocking it,Yeaaaaaaa Boyyyyyyyyyys good job :)

[@RyanOHalloran-r1w]

Did you butt the edges of the plywood together? No worries about expansion?

[@schroederb2007]

Looks like that jig saw has a tilt base so you can bevel? Just throwing that out there :) i'm looking forward to your new space!

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, yes it does but I've locked it down at 90 degrees because it would come loose occasionally while I was cutting and not cut square.

[@boazmulder1934]

I hope I get a shop like this sometime.

[@craftedworkshop]

Took me about three years to go to this point, keep at it!

[@Sewcialitecrew]

Wow that was a lot of work but it looks amazing

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks, and yes it was!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Shop is coming together nicely!! So glad for you bud!! It's awesome to tackle something outside of you skill set isn't it?? I absolutely LOVE learning new stuff!! Until the next one, God bless and Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@noelleonnoelleon]

can you put a link for the plywood you used?

[@jtslim32]

A little late to the video, but what thickness plywood did you go with? 3/8, 7/16, 15/32?

[@jtklop]

Love it!!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@matthewbryson3693]

Looks like my first Minecraft house out of oak planks

[@trishh6916]

Wow! So impressed! If you were to fill in the gaps between the plywood sections, how would you do it? I did something similar, but the seams are uneven between sheets! I tried joint compound, but it looks terrible! Also, if painted, would you use standard latex paint?

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! I'm not sure that I'd try to fill the gaps really. You could either add battens over the seams as kind of a decorative accent or accentuate the seams and leave a larger, more consistent gap. I really like that look and plan to do that inside the tiny house project I'm working on.

[@kirkweaver6721]

Sorry for another picky comment man, you do such good work, I see you using glue of some description when your fixing anything like to bits of furniture pieces together, why didn't you use stud adhesive for the plasterboard (drywall) thats quite a common building requirement when plastering/drywalling ... only asking as I deal with plasterboard regularly and using stud adhesive is a building requirement here

[@kypass]

Looks awesome. Alex "Singletrack Sampler" wants to know if there is a shower there.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, no there isn’t. Thanks!

[@mr.macmaker]

good workshop are you doing!!!

[@iammdplaymaker106]

May I know is it necessary to use mesh tape where cement board meets plywood/wood? Any idea for my small project?

[@Ash-op2ql]

What do you do with the plywood wall after if you want to make it look closer to a residential wall?

[@jonathanhall7903]

Any future windows for the office out into the shop and towards the front door?

[@dujbzy8119]

I liked the video but just a couple of things Is it not standard practice in the US to not glue wall panels as well as screw? Also for the future, cement sheeting is easy enough to just nail up rather than screwing and you wont break the corners as easy

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea, since I’m renting, we tried to make everything easily removable, hence the screws and no adhesive. Thanks!

[@xalted6991]

when you are doing drywall every seam except corners has to have a bevel, if they dont the "mud" wont get in between the seams properly

[@craftedworkshop]

That's not true, the ends of drywall sheets are not beveled.

[@jhans3278]

Did you apply a finish to the plywood?

[@doubledarefan]

2:22 Drywall Sword.

[@pantomasz856]

nice work :)

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@animationcreations42]

Would it not have been faster plastering the drywall rather than taping and mudding? Thats what we do here in the UK

[@animationcreations42]

@brianohbrian burns I actually used tape and mud for one of the walls in my house and although it was quicker, the dry time between coats meant it didn't take much longer than the plastered walls I did and imo the plastered walls was smoother

[@jimdenton3925]

What kind of plywood is that? Any special kind? Thanks

[@BedfordJoshua]

What is the magnet on the drill? -Is it a special version with a built in magnet or an attachment? My Dewalt 20v impact isn't magnetic like that (I don't think... ha!)- Edit: I commented then immediately saw it better in another shot. I guess I'm one of those people.

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, no worries, it’s the FastCap Pro Hold for anyone else wondering! amzn.to/2LwSwFN

[@bryandelacruz9066]

whats the name of the cement like texture before putting the drywall?

[@seattleplasma]

@craftedworkshop - what grade plywood is that? Want to do similar scenario in my garage. But want the Plywood to look decent and not 50 diffrent colors. How thick was it?

[@craftedworkshop]

It’s ½” A/C plywood, nice and not terribly expensive.

[@mchingxm]

Whats that thing behind the drywall?

[@indigo50003]

Hi all, I'm from the UK. Does anyone ever plaster walls in the USA, It's all we do here.

[@craftedworkshop]

It’s definitely less common but seems just as quick to me!

[@Mostviews111]

What kind of plywood is that?

[@jonraccah5984]

@craftedworkshop - what mag attachment (visible at 1:25) do you have on your Dewalt Impact Driver?

[@tsnstt]

What else did you guys do to the plywood?

[@craftedworkshop]

Inside the shop, the plywood is unfinished. Up in the office area it’s painted.

[@tinacastillo6920]

What kind of tape did you use.

[@vdsabev]

Thanks for this video, I'm building my own workshop right now so this was really informative! 👌 Is this plywood stained or finished in any way? I'm wondering if I need to apply a protective coat of polyurethane or just leave the plywood as is.

[@craftedworkshop]

I actually ended up painting it, glad you enjoyed the video! If you watch my most recent video, you’ll see my finished office.

[@EvendimataE]

is there a code on using plywood as ceiling or walls?

[@jamesharris7868]

why no stud adhesive on the studs b4 you put the drywall on

[@craftedworkshop]

Adhesive is optional, it just allows you to use less screws. I wanted everything in this space to be removable since I'm renting.

[@jamesharris7868]

It also stops the plasterboard from rattling I do drywall for a living never not put it on.Looks good though.

[@zachtutor7998]

What's the story on the right wall near the middle where the plywood wasn't matching up with the frame?

[@craftedworkshop]

The floor was that jacked up, had to raise it up off the ground over an inch and it actually went above the blocking. No biggie, still attached to all of the studs and we’ll cover the gap with trim.

[@freshoffthesaw8090]

Tool pouches and laser levels, next thing your going to be a general contractor!

[@craftedworkshop]

😂

[@jeremyzornes9342]

Out of curiosity, did you use 1/2" plywood?

[@enduman]

...I am not sure why, but everytime I go to the shop I get hungry for Chipolte

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah 😂

[@BluegrassHiker]

#1 take away from this series. Buy a line laser. :)

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely!

[@davidpermenter6527]

What length screws did You use for the 1/2” plywood?

[@craftedworkshop]

I used 1 5/8” trim head screws. www.rockler.com/trim-head-square-drive-screws-select-size?sid=V9146?PL&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqsXOhMbA4gIVhYvICh3PwAsAEAQYASABEgJk6_D_BwE

[@nickc856]

was it 0:28 or 2:50 ? make your mind up

[@Parkhead_workshop]

what are the pros/cons when deciding between drywall and plywood/OSB for shop walls? Drywall cheaper, good fire resistance vs Ply/OSB is stronger and simpler to use? I've got a bare shop and dont know which route is better

[@craftedworkshop]

Plywood is so much easier to install. You can also hang stuff pretty much anywhere, which is nice. I prefer it quite a bit.

[@crossan008]

What’s that Dewalt track saw setup?

[@craftedworkshop]

Got it linked in the video description. Flexvolt track saw and Flexvolt vac.

[@Subscriber-zq2fd]

Did you buy new tools to build this shop

[@craftedworkshop]

Not for the most part, we used a combination of my tools and Justin’s.

[@korazuko7389]

Why did you use plywood and drywall?

[@29102jmoney]

How Do you Want the Shed to Look?

[@richardkaz2336]

No stud adhesive?

[@craftedworkshop]

Nope

[@markpalmer3071]

Loving this series, I know how much work that is when you don't do it every day, great work. I bet you're not planning on changing to constuction! :)

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot! And yes, it’s definitely been overwhelming, just so many decisions to make and so much new stuff to learn!

[@travistaylor6110]

Who else had no idea the back of the drill was a magnet for the screws?!😱

[@davidpermenter6527]

How thick was your plywood?

[@craftedworkshop]

½”!

[@davidpermenter6527]
