You can tell by his technique and energy this man loves what he does, takes pride in his work, and gets the job done in a timely fashion. I went back to see what drill he was using because of one of the comments and found myself watching this video all over again.

This is one of the better taping videos on youtube that I keep coming back to. Straight and to the point. Not a lot of superfluous talking. Just watch a pro do his thing and try to absorb his technique. For someone like me, who does drywall a room at a time every couple years I'm really just looking for a refresher and this is it.

Because if it does, your ass will be coming back to fix it all.

Just had a guy tape/mud a small job - amazing skill and dexterity. He was a philosopher about the job. "Every building . . . commercial & residential . . . has wall board. There's always plenty of work." He went on to say how he like to leave his jobs 'invisible.' He worked to keep the surfaces and joints the 'secrets' he left behind. I talked to my wife about how he turned the intention of a design: shapes, surfaces, angles into reality. That is what the 'trades' do - they deliver aesthetic reality where designers & engineers simply contemplate intention. He also said that he like the low stress of the job. "Floor and cabinet guys have to stress about mistakes, they can't do it over." he said. But he gets to start over to make it right anytime he wants. Brilliant video!

So true. The design made real; the mistake stress; the therapy and meditation of repetition in drywall stopping. I'm a designer (a degree and all - architecture first, then graphics) but have been involved with and doing construction since I was a kid. Dad was a philosophy propfessor ( I kid you not) and he was also involved with demolition (again I kid you not). Design and construction is what I do now and much prefer the "making it real" side of it. Nothing says truth like making something real. My favourite things are timber framing and mud/stopping/plastering. It's like playing as a kid. The stress part of construction/creating you mentioned cannot be underestimated. By far the most stressful thing is bench-top cutting. One slip, chip or mis-measure and bam! Start over. With plaster it's whack! Chip! Redo. Done. Smooooooth & crisp.

@@melanierust7129 The beauty of finishing walls is that, in most cases, you can always improve upon an already-existing bad job without having to start over from scratch. There are different levels of finishes you can apply to the wall using mud with some sanding in between applications.

The bucket dump (why didn't I think of that?!?!), the way he applies the mud and seats the tape and so much more. This guy is an absolute pro. It's still comforting to see that even a pro like this drops a little mud on the floor occasionally. I've got enough mud on my floors to tape a small house. :) Thanks for this!

Go watch again, a good finisher, would have applied the mud, and then the tape to the flat with a total of 5 movements. This guy had 9 just applying the mud. A real finisher, Would have pulled from the corner of the flat that hits the corner, pulling 4 to 6 ft on the first spread, Then Another load and spread finishing most likely the apply of mud, but I gave another movement just in case. Then go back to the start of the mud spread and apply the tape, This is one full non stop movement taking about 5 seconds. Then after cutting the tape. The wipe is starting at the corner again, pulling into the corner, tighting the tape and good seal in the corner, and then the final fifth movement, pulling the tape tight, wiping the mud down, leaving no edge like this guy, Tape is tight, unlike this guy, good pack on the seam, unlike this guy.. and is over in about 15 seconds, Not the 4 minutes like this guy. Also, you would not need to go get a scraper and clean the floor like you will after this guy is done. He dropped about half a knife worth of mud just wiping the flat. Also, As someone who has been taping for 20 yrs. This guy has to be single, As no wife would put up with their washing machine being destroyed every few months. This guy is bathing in the mud. A true finisher, would have a few specs on his clothes. He knows when the mud is gonna fall, and how to not stand under it. This guy is doing a wall, an he is this sloppy, I would hate to see him doing overhead work. To be honest, I would probably pay this guy 70 bucks to 100 a day, no more, and base that on a 8 hour day. He is a floorman. The stilt man, or second lead, is a 250 dollar a day man.. who is doing all the overhead and having to get down off his stilts and help this guy finish up hos 40 boards he ran all day, when the overhead guy in the same area just ran 100 to 140.. and finished a hour or two before him, and is now running 30 to 40 boards in 2 hours.. cause they are 3 times faster then this guy. Lead man is in the high cealing and doing the high dollar work, putting the corner bead on, straight flex, doing the 45 angles, Then jumpin on stilts, and showing the second lead why he is still the second lead cause he is just to fast to keep up with.. then they both get down and make the floor man look like the beginner bitch.. Rant over.. That is a REAL Finishing CREW!

I'm an old timer; this guy is good. This is how I was taught the trade. Way back they didn't have Ready Mix mud. It was a powder and had to be mixed perfect or you would have lumps. I use to use the old hawk and trowel. The webbing tape is better. Later 8"- 12" inch knives were incorporated to do the bedding. The only fall back about the webbing tape is you can't use it in your angles. Still, have to use paper. I use to wear stilts. I was young and fast I could hang 250 ft roll of tape in 30 minutes. I have used bazookas, bed boxes, angle tools, nail spotters. It is good to watch a professional do it the old fashion way.

I watched multiple guys doing taping 2 years ago and then mudded 4 rooms. I have learned: the following: 1. I taped in a different order than Chad. His order makes more sense 2. I didn't overlap the tape like Chad did. I like his reasoning 3. My mud was way too thick. 4. On long flats, I didn't put a few feet and then tap in place and then a few more feet and tap - like Chad did. His method makes way more sense that what I did. 5. I'm way to finicky about the tape near the floor on the butts. I mess around trying to cut the tape perfectly for some stupid reason 6. The other guys videos who I watched were not nearly this fast or could handle thin mud like that. Great video.

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to film, and share! Years ago I was mudding and taping my garage on a new house I bought. The builder was still in the neighborhood knocking out other houses. He stopped by and checked out my work. One thing he noticed was the "pocks" or little holes in the mud here and there after I applied it. He suggested before I mix the mud with water in the 5 gallon pail, add an "X" of dawn dish soap at the top of the mud. I did this in preceding batches and it helped alot. Thought it was worth sharing! Thanks again!

Guy is a pro and should be a foreman for drywall jobs. He explains things clearly. KNOWS his material so well, its natural and fluent for him to "just talk about it". Very little mud on floor. Awesome. I will be "attempting" to do half that size of wall in 4 hrs. However he might have shaved 15 minutes off my upcoming 4 hr "mud" job.

He showing this for beginners to have a good clue whats going on with mud & tape... pros usually use a tool that we call the violin is a quick and efficient way to add mud & tape at the same time makes this job way easier, we usually do all the flats around the house first & then go around again doing (joints, angles) that way you have all the bottom done and move on to ceilings & walls‼️

Time to snuggle in a warm cozy blanket with a hot cup of tea and relax with some taping. Don't you want to just squish the compound in between your toes? The sound of the 4" knife swiftly glopping compound into the pan and swish, swish, swish 3 times on the edge of the pan to clean it off? The swift sound of the first swipe of compound being applied to the wall... It's hypnotizing! A human being purposefully and deftly getting the job done quickly is pure magic💖 I am so grateful my father took me along with him to job-sites with him when I was a kid.

Good clean work brother. Began as a Plasterer here. Certain disciplines, good and bad, from that training now mingle with my drywall work. Often I am in residential, often with wild board work , terrible corners and gaps and what not. With plaster i can "form" and build up quicker and cures faster and denser. You do clean work with that tape. That's the hardest thing to master I've used the self-adhesive mesh for so long I use it for both materials. I'm messy with the tape.

I been doing this trade for around 17 years now... so nice to see someone who takes pride in his work... and knows what he's doing. Only thing I do differently is instead of applying mud sideways I use a full 5 inch knife and just cut the excess mudd off the corners of the knife... that way none falls and never worry about going back to fill the bevel. Awesome job.

I didn't dump half the bucket on one area of the wall.. your imagination is probably going somewhere far.. far from reality! Besides, any normal construction labourer would know exactly how much is too much, your sanding arm will let you know after just one wall of experience 😂

Hi and Hello. I gather people for a good cause: I wanna provide people with Links leading to bad or toxic people. Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i need help with reporting them. KZbin is in a bad state and i think you heard of that. Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan. But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something? So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use. Yeah, unorthodox, i know, but whatever. Its my Try to help. You can at least pre-emptive 'block user' regarding the Racists and all those, but you can also do one thing more and report them. You surely know what a mess youtube is, so? What do you think about all this? I mean, its a good cause, improving the internet and the world, and it costs no money, just time. Nice or not? I'm sure this comment didnt made it all clear, but point is, i wanna act and help others to act, not just complain. If somethings not clear, ask Questions; that normally helps with confusion.
