@Vancouver Carpenter. Thanks Ben for your practical advice in drywalling. You've given me the confidence to properly tape, mud, repair, and skimcoat walls. While it's a good thing I don't do it as a paying job, I have the satisfaction of doing the work myself and getting into a zen while doing it. Gives me a appreciation for the professionals who do this for a living , do a good job and what they go through. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

Old man doing home reno here. This is good demo. I'm picking up some helpful tips, like drink too much coffee B-) But really, watching you work gives me a bit more confidence in my own efforts. Question1 : do you ever use a corner tool to apply mud to both adjacent corners at once? (maybe its in a another vid). Q2: Is your big trowel cambered? Mine is manufactured with a distinct bow, and it and requires a certain amount of "just-right" pressure to cover joints, but feathering is no problem, if i've had decaf in the morning ;-) Thanks for your videos and sense of humour.

Hey Ben, I've been meaning to ask you for some time why you don't use a pool trowel for skimming and general work rather than a straight edge trowel? I get that it's easier to get into corners with the straight one but I would think it would get a softer transition on most everything else. Thanks man, I really appreciate your videos.

Mr. Vancouver Carpenter, are u renting or did u buy your home? I appreciate all your videos. I have about 5 holes that the handy man and electrician created. I fired the handy man bc he kept telling he couldn't come to finish the work. It was the electrical that still needed to be finshed up. Anyhoo, the electrician said he doesn't patch holes (even tho he created them) so I'm over here looking at your channel so I can get the courage to do it myself. U make look easy & almost therapeutic 😄 but tell me why i still can't get myself to do it. If you reply, you with ANYTHING or if i merely get any LIKES I swear I WILL GET IT DONE! And i might even record just so it goes down in history. I just need motivation and strength...MENTAL STRENGTH!!!

Hello from Vancouver Island! Ben, I'm hoping you have some advice on how to skim coat a coved ceiling. We're currently renovating our 1949 built house and your videos have provided some great information for skim coating these textured walls. We've tried to look up if someone has skim coated textured coved ceilings before but can't find any videos. If you could do a video on it or even better, we could hire you to skim coat these coves we would be soooo grateful! Haha -Jeannette I can provide pictures if you're interested in seeing what we're dealing with. We've started...just not sure how it's going.

It's intriguing to see the difference between how you fit drywall in the US and how we plasterboard in the UK. There is a method in the UK similar to what you are doing in this video, but we don't cover the whole wall with mud, only the areas where two boards meet. The boards have tapered edges so the joints can be taped and filled with jointing compound. Then the surface can be decorated. The other method is to use straight-edged boards and the whole area of plasterboard is covered in a thin (2-3mm) skim coat of plaster. The compound used on tapered boards is similar to mud, but when skimming the whole area, we use a gypsum plaster.

One of the polysymes (the numbered entries from the dictionary) for feather is to vary the angle of a blade or propeller. I think that's the definition you are using and it certainly does not have a translation in French
@tridium-go6hw3 жыл бұрын
Actually I believe the term implies thinning out the edge of the mud so it tapers out to nothing, i.e. "thin as a feather", rather than defining the angle of the knife or whatever.
