I recently started watching ur videos for some help on my diy project. Dude. Ur videos are super helpful and great. Thanks for all you share.

[@ihechialozie5779]

Thank you so much sir for your explanations. I have watched several of these videos and this is the first time someone indicated how long to sit the iron before sliding it forward. Very helpful indeed.

[@miguelmartinez-zy2lg]

Thank you! I got my first one done today 🎉 I appreciate the step by eye

[@dreafierce1161]

Omg thank you so much been trying to do a seam for days. After watching you did it the very first try thank you!!!!

[@eastcoastt8272]

I always use a little three foot strate edge when cutting door way seams I’ve never free handed a carpet seam

[@pacsoulpavon9649]

2:01 lmao I do the same move ! I use all my body parts 🤣💯 that part so accurate, great video

[@Mrkevi123]

Thank you sir. You are the man. I will be doing this in my home now

[@greggorywalton7091]

Everyone has their own way of perfecting. This technique could be effective. I do believe in using a straight edge. This is straight up Eyeballing. You could run into a lot of trouble using the Eyeballing technique. You have to be absolutely spot on

[@shirleytyree276]

Loved the video!

[@reesemaster73]

Your voiceover is so awesome, keep it up

[@Grayback1973]

Wow,that's awesome! I hope my carpet guy does it that good on my mom's room edition.

[@darrylosborn511]

I like how the guy uses a ‘ loop pile cutter blade ‘ in his knife … I prefer to use concave blades , however, everyone has their own different styles. Good job mate !

[@stickcatanimations5719]

Looks good to me you just saved me a few hundred bucks. Thanks

[@jamesdeubanks]

Hey bro love your style thanks for the tutoring

[@cameelsworld7529]

Good video,great explanation,unique character....

Hey, you’ve got style and you got class...I like it and the finished product looks flawless. Good job!

[@AkashColvin]

Awesome! I am going to try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@waltbee6333]

Thanks for the video. I’ve been wanting to see a close up of how you do that. I’ll have to try it. 👍🏻

[@CarpetExpertBlueprint]

Walt Bee thanks! Keep me in the loop, let me know how it goes

[@waltbee6333]

Carpet Expert Blueprint Ok. I will. 👍🏻

[@waltbee6333]

Carpet Expert Blueprint I did a seam your way today. Worked fine. Thank you.

[@tumbleweed1976]

Great visual and verbal play by play.

[@CarpetExpertBlueprint]

Daniel Nicholson thank you!

[@eddievasquez6280]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@timbell1415]

No weight or sealer? You tucked both sides as well ,what about your stretch?

[@yupyip7561]

Come on man are you even a carpet installer? The gloves act like a weight And sealer

[@mikekelley5033]

You’re right Tim Bell This guy is getting by like so many others in the carpet business he doesn’t have a clue. The only thing he did right was cutting the seam from the back it is totally wrong and straight edges are not for beginners it’s a mistake proof tool if you know how to use it correctly.. he does not have the sense to stretch away from seams this joker has more callbacks on wrinkled carpet. And seams coming apart no doubt. Over 30 years experience Speaking here

[@justinlambert440]

Question do you pre load your seam iron with glue off the tape? I noticed if you keep it on there to long ittle pickup glue onto iron. Thanks. Quick response be appreciated im doing my carpet now

[@phakyou]

2:08 😂 My man's roasting hard.

[@rrose002]

Wowgreat video and it was fast and worked

[@ghettygreen3541]

Love the smooth talk😂

[@looking882]

Can this procedure be performed if you have two carpets of different colors

[@lllfff3359]

For a d.i.y. .......what if I don't have the carpet seam iron......can I make the cut and use some kind of glue along both edges once cut, and may e put a weight on the seam overnight?

[@samclyde1622]

Way to go carpet mike!!!!

[@yeeteryeets6490]

Ok to be clear , using a straight edge does not make you a beginner...the way this dude is cutting his seams is ridiculous...if it works for him that's great , but this method is nonsense

[@robertbirchfield4939]

Why do you say that

[@susdad]

@@robertbirchfield4939 for a nice seam you want a straight edge on both sides of carpet. This may pass for plush carpet but those crooked lines won’t work with looped carpet

[@carlcardigan6439]

Can you not follow the "grid" on the bottom? Is it not perfectly straight? D:

[@stevehamman4465]

@@carlcardigan6439 , back in the day when carpet was made better, we called it ,, reverse rowing! Following the lines on the backing! You can still do it if its your only option but I've never been in that situation. In this video he is seaming last. It should be the first thing you do. Most plush carpets are straight edged, they sell a 2 4 6ft special straight edge for carpet. I have them all. Berbers, you use a row finder and a top cutter and theres still tricks on how to use them! Southern boys, have some good videos on carpet! Good day.

[@LVCID777]

I have some installers putting my carpet in and I could tell when they walked in it was going to be a mess. Patna hanging down, using box cutters.. They are still working on the seams, I’m gonna give it awhile and try not to jump the gun, but if I can see the seams I’m gonna raise hell with the store owner

[@jasonmeanshealer]

Bro you’re nice with it

[@paulpooper2504]

Good meme keep them coming

[@SuperKillbill1234]

would you join it first before laying?

[@eagleprey4216]

Can you use clothes iron ? 😮

[@cruzjorge064]

What type of jeans you got on

[@ManWytch]

Could I use this technique to join two 4x6 rugs together to make a 8x6 area rug or does it need to be used for wall to wall carpet only! Would the tape hold the seam??

[@LoudStereoTINYDICK]

Of course it would work

[@robbiegreen7338]

Been installing for 20 years and I have always used a straight edge, never free hand cut never

[@TheEdytedy]

The logical inconsistency to not use any of the correct tools but than tell you not to “chintz “ out and change your blades 🤣

[@robbiegreen7338]

I always use roller to roll on the seam

[@jasonsmith120]

good one

[@samuelquijas2886]

Always do the seams first than Stretch the carpet

[@wilfredolibra87]

How much for yard on labor

[@douglaspaxson7604]

This is complete hack work!

[@lewishenry5324]

So I can't tell you missed 2 and some might say 3 steps. You definitely need a board under so you don't burn your padding and also you need a small 16in 2x12 on top of the seam to press the glue into the carpet to make sure no return for repair is needed

[@WeaponX-mk6lo]

Can I use. Regular iron if I don’t have a seam iron

[@davidrobertson2730]

Not a chance in hell.

[@brassplyer]

I watched a carpet guy install mine - he used the lid of the toilet tank to press on the seam as he went - seam is completely invisible.

[@friskyazelf8473]

Another thing why don't you use the seam roller and weight?

[@jeremyfinan5737]

Bro can you imagine what this seam looked like after the home owner vacuumed once

[@stevehamman4465]

@@jeremyfinan5737 , Right!!!! Lay the rug out,, burn the seams using sealer, tractor, a weight or vac! Then stretch with power stretcher! Watch some of his other videos, there must as bad!

[@topreview3791]

Because he really doesn’t know the correct way. 😂

[@scalo462]

Is there a way to fix a seam without that iron.

[@pacsoulpavon9649]

With glue ..

[@MrJoshcc600]

But that's super loose its already rippled. How do you seam it under tension properly

[@stevehamman4465]

Josh, this video shows how not to install carpet!! The carpet was rippled. You generally always burn seams , then stretch the carpet after ,pulling away from the bubbles. You don't want to stretch carpet before seamming! I've watched some of his other vids and it's like he's showing the wrong way on purpose! Southern boys have some good videos! Good luck! And don't be afraid to ask questions!!

Yeah don’t cut seams like this from a 36 years of carpet installing.

This is the most unprofessional seam I have ever seen. Why not use the straight edge?

FriskyAzelf, back in the day we would flip the rug over and cut down one row, trying not to jump rows. We called it "Reverse Row Cutting". I love all the new tools they have now. Makes it easier, faster and more efficient! I also am old enough to see a seam. Learned when I was like 14 haaa
