Finally a good TH-cam channel that actually shows you how a jobsite runs and shows an actual worker doing his thing and not stop so much for the camera. Great great great work with the camera skills and from the crew. Thank you again I'll be showing this to all of our workers to learn even the basics. Fast but right not fast and sloppy
The hardest work is the ceiling work. Looking up all day is a neck breaker so I hope you ground guys alternate with him. We always used a bazooka and all the AMES TAPING TOOLS, which has been around for at least 70 years or so. We also always let the tape dry for 24 hours and used a 7” box to fill, a 10” mud box to finish, and a 12” to skim it perfectly smooth and flat. We ran a roller and glazer in the angles for perfectly square angles and boxed them with a 3” Angle head. The AMES tools have the same specs they have had for many decades, because they are damn near perfect they way they are. You guy do a great job, and clean work is key to speed. A sloppy guy going balls out can screw up a ton of great drywall hanging, creating a ton of unnecessary wasted labor. Great job!
I don’t think because their being video taped,it’s probably because of the base coat that only have 45min less or more then it’s gonna dry,so their have no time to chit chat,once it’s dry,the base coat wasted,and gonna do the mixing again,wasting time/money😁
I agree, this kinda hustle and craftsmanship is rare these days. Being in construction I’ve seen some lazy and under-skilled workers. So it’s nice to see someone take pride in their work
@Tony McSteven Yes as a matter of fact Craftsmanship is not what it once was. These 250-300,000 stick homes being built today , will not last. Don’t get me wrong, there are some awesome crews in all fields of construction! But I have found quality now takes a back seat to quantity. JMO
I'm 71 and been doing drywall since I was 13, not full time like these pro's but I still pick up things watching these craftsman. I have a funny story. When I was in my 20's I had a banjo box and had it sitting on a bucket in front of the garage. I went to lunch and when I came back the owner said he owes me a new one. He had a rat problem and was waiting with his shot gun. He saw a rat dart into the garage. He shot , missed the rat but did a number on the Banjo box. I should of saved it.
Lol, that's a funny story Tim, I hope he got you a new banjo for sure. Big honour to have you watch my videos. I bet you seen so much in your time in the business. thanks very much
Yes! I just watched all 12+ minutes of this video in complete amazement because I know this isn't as easy as they make it look. I'd still be in my first pass on my first wall trying to figure out how to get the first coat even and these guys have the entire house done in 1 hour. Bravo fellas!
I've watched several "How to ..." videos on different aspects of drywall installation, taping, finishing, etc. This video is more of a "How DO they do it!" and is very instructional on many levels. I've already stopped the video about 3 times to replay certain sections to really understand the nuances in the techniques and how the individual components all come together in perfect orchestration. Kudos gentlemen!
I'm just a DIY, but I tape like this with a tape box also. The real key, which you mention is to use a setting mud for the bed and first cover coat. Doing it this way, you can be completely done in one day with all the taping, dry overnight for the top coat which can be all purpose or easy sand setting and then sand the next day. If done correctly, there is very little sanding at all. For sure it helps to have at least two people with one person on the tape box and then the other behind, but you can do it one person, but a lot harder, especially with setting compound. I spent one summer sanding drywall for a commercial outfit (neighbor owned). You really come to appreciate not over filling in a major way, especially if you have to be sanding above your head on 9-12' walls when it is 90+ F.
Remember guys , these guys do this at least five days a week,every week !! That's why they make it look so easy and effortless, what a crew ! Fast and flawless . Awesome video on how the professionals do IT !!
I like the division of work in this. One guy for each job. Tape machine, horizontal lines, vertical lines, corners. No one tripping over each other. So fast.
I've been taping for 15 years n like to think I'm damn good at it and when a home owner watches they say " you make it look so easy" watching this guy makes me say that lol
SAME! I get it every day, these guys are definitely efficient. I’ve always wiped all mud out behind tape on flats, interesting that they leave a lot behind and just take a little out
Travis Lee these boards are quite deep so we don't like wiping too much out as you just have to put it all back later might aswell just press enough so that they are just under flat and the tapes are stronger because there's more mud behind them. Well thats our thought process 😂
I’d love to organize the Taping Olympics and watch the best crews from different countries compete against each other. Well done boys! G’day from Canada 🇨🇦
I have been slinging mud for a long time. I do all aspects of construction from framing to finish. I must say, you guys are a well oiled machine in the tape and mud profession. Just like an Orchestra, you guys are in synchronicity at every second. I tape and mud very well, but you guys are incredible in speed and quality work. AWESOME!
@@shawndejohn63 they usually texture the living shit out of most homes nowadays to avoid having to third coat. I run my second coat thick in commercial and then pull tight with a third regardless of texture *or smooth wall finish.
Knowing what your doing is 99% you can get some of those tools for a couple bucks at a garage sale thats bout 1%.... must say didnt see a drop of wasted mud, for a rocker that is the art.
1. Proper tools 2. Correct experience 3. Adequate time on the job to acquire accurate experience 4. Caring about your job 5. Working around people who care about their job 6. Not working with people who don't care about their job 7. Recording an area that falsely implies that all areas are this easy to install 8. Having a clean work area 9. Having the underlying drywall work done correctly 10. Years of personal and team failures and the actual intelligence and caring to mold those failures into success 11. Editing recordings to avoid showing failures 12. Having enough people on the job to allow for proper and efficient working patterns 13. Knowing you are on camera as to avoid showing unwanted variables 14. Having the proper climate controls in place. (Proper temperature/humidity levels) 15. Relying on unknowledgeable TH-camrs to praise videos that only show a portion of what it takes to install a job. There are more but I have to go actually install something or I don't get paid. But just with this limited list, the "perfect tools" are only 1/15th of the battle.
Must be nice to be able to find that many guys that know what there doing let alone find anybody that wants to work. I have been doing whole houses alone for two years now. Sometimes with a grunt worker.
@@edgarfloresmartinez8040 who’s they and it’s 60-70 a sheet finished in cny. As a contractor. If you guys are doing it for 6 bucks a sheet you ever move up here you got a job.
@@edgarfloresmartinez8040 also a unlimited amount of work. I get 10-20 calls a week for the work just can’t take on large jobs like apartment complexes I did one a couple years ago a 15 unit. I probably had a total of 10 guys work for a day or to then gone.
@@edgarfloresmartinez8040 I was paying 20 a hr now I’m at 25-30 a hr for some one experienced. No one gets 25-30 because almost no one is experienced in mudding.
I'm glad to see people doing this old school way my one critique though is the T joints, we always staggered our joints we never broke them on the same joint. It strengthens the houses structural integrity when settling and less likely to breaks joints if the house hasn't fully settled.
My best friend can tape and level 5 finish a 10,000 board ft house in a week by himself. He is the best drywall finisher in the area and turns down work he is so busy. I helped him do 6 houses in 30 days a few years back. When he gets the bazooka out it is a sight to see and hear.
Wow. So I am a woodworker and I don't do sheet rock work hardly ever, but this video is amazing. I taped and mudded the first coat on a ceiling in my garage over the weekend (20' x 22') and it took me 3 hours! And it looks like a kid may have done it. Haha. Great work. I am very impressed.
You guys are amazing to watch. You're stepping all over each other, but everybody knows where each other is, what each other's job is And it's like the epitome of a well-oiled machine. You guys have done this before. 😃
Speed and efficiency aside, I'm also impressed with their neatness. As a flooring installer for 44 years, I've had my fill of cleaning up after messy drywall companies!
People will often dismiss these skills as no big deal. These kinds of pros make this look so easy. It's certainly not. Appreciate the videos. Really helps.
I have the tapepro mud box, it works great but taping top angles is tough by yourself. I do like the mud box for smaller jobs but I prefer the bazooka if I’m doing more than 50 sheets as it goes further on fill ups and you don’t need someone holding tape in your angles. These guys are great to watch and they run that mud box very well!
Hey mate. Not many guys use both. Well.. that I've come across anyway... You know I have a bazooka. A Northstar one. Was given to me broken and I got it fixed for a couple hundred. Don't tell anyone but I don't know how to use one. I've been shown one but still. You could make me a video that can show it and I will post it. Thanks for watching Andrew
Ya, the bazooka is difficult to learn, but with persistence you will be very happy with the amount of board you can tape in a short amount of time! I've been running the "tube" (bazooka) for 20 years and still remember learning! Make yourself keep trying! You want to learn to adjust the tape feed and cutting blade. Also the consistency of the mud is the most important thing to getting the bazooka to run right! The amount of water you need to mix in the taping mud is almost a litre or quart here in Pennsylvania! At least with the mud we use here. The green lid, all purpose sheetrock is my preferred taping compound, but any all purpose should work. Don't use any kind of light weight because of the bonding ability and time of staying wet needs to be long as possible.
i do general contracting so my job usually involves the whole process, demo to finishing touches. i like to think im "okay" at drywalling but watching a master do his craft is very satisfying and i realize how much more i need to learn, you guys would laugh at me lol. or teach me, you dudes seem nice to work with
Great video been drywall for 32 years good stuff guys we need a crew like you all in Alys Beach Florida! These drywall companies down here just care about the money not the quality its a shame. Keep on doing what your doing.
I prefill everything with quickset , if you dont those joints and butts show through over time! I have repaired a ton of jobs after many tapers have done jobs this way ....not cool
Man, you gotta love teamwork! Everyone aware of where the other guys are. If I'm not mistaking, these guys walked out of the construction site before the mud was even dry!
Look up drywall finishing bazooka, will change your life and make what your doing a 2 man max job (in Canada that would be a 1 man job with a bazooka). Another tip, use a fast set mix for your pre-fill, it will shrink less. Now that youve done that, look up drywall finishing boxes and a mud pump....."BOOM" you have just reached the 21 century in wall finishing....
I wish I had more people around me my age so we could rock out a bunch or jobs but you guys do a great job you make that trowl look way to easy lol props!! Love the video ill definitely watch more
His joints are good....and he keeps the mud in the joint....minimal sanding.. Also tape is in middle of mud layer no bubbles....this is a good team of tapers spacklers
I have so much respect for these guys.. their skill is absolutely insane.. I am pretty capable in most Reno jobs, except muddying, tiling and roofing..
All my years in the trades I never thought I'd be impressed by mudders; but here we are. Sitting here still in half disbelief at the impressive teamwork and coordination, the clean worksite and complete lack of swearing/unnecessary chatter. If I'd worked with you lot I'd have chosen to stay in the trades!
Hey mate I use the same tape box but there’s been a lot of mud dripping from the head when I do horizontal joints, the gauge is a good consistency, I’ve played around with thick, running and medium body mud mixes and also played around withthe mud adjustment but no matter what it still spews out on the wall, any suggestions?
Honestly not sure why, sometimes when you don't have it open enough (too little mud on the tapes) it leaks or if the mix is too wet. We don't usually get any leaking
The mud flows between the adjuster flap and the underside of the lid which causes the drips. Fill between the adjuster flap and underside of the lid with cornice cement. The adjustment of the flap isn't necessary, set it half way and lock it in for good.
I’ve been doing skim coating and dry wall stuff the last month and my god these guys make it look so easy! It’s crazy. I wish to be this fluent with my knife and trowel
Cornice was always amazing to me. I’m from the states and I worked as a tradie in AU for a year. It’s basically crown moulding made out of gyprock that they install with stickier joint compound. Freaking genius.
Worked behind many..MANY drywall guys.. been on a few drywall crews..in the trade for around 30yrs...I don't see this type of quality..much less speed..can tell you like what you do..GOOD JOB FELLAS...I don't impress easily
They are very thorough and systematic, meaning they are quick and do good quality work. They go there to complete the contract and get paid by the client rather than taking the piss out of an employer and dragging their arse doing a botch job knowing the boss is still going to pay them even if the contract hasn’t been complete in a respectable time frame
@@kc3481 you get paid a set price per sheet example.. $2 a coat per sheet You average 2 bedroom apartment is 70 Sheets of 12’ drywall so you get paid for 3 coats and skim coat and have to sand it once last coat dries

Also the consistency of the mud is the most important thing to getting the bazooka to run right! The amount of water you need to mix in the taping mud is almost a litre or quart here in Pennsylvania! At least with the mud we use here. The green lid, all purpose sheetrock is my preferred taping compound, but any all purpose should work. Don't use any kind of light weight because of the bonding ability and time of staying wet needs to be long as possible.
i do general contracting so my job usually involves the whole process, demo to finishing touches. i like to think im "okay" at drywalling but watching a master do his craft is very satisfying and i realize how much more i need to learn, you guys would laugh at me lol. or teach me, you dudes seem nice to work with
yeah, same here! Thanks for watching
I don't have any need to learn drywall but i watched the whole video. A testament to your crews skill
Wow! Truly artisan tradesmen at work and kind enough to explain what the master is doing. The how? That's from lots and lots of experience.
I don't think it gets more pro than this. Huge respect to this crew.
Great video been drywall for 32 years good stuff guys we need a crew like you all in Alys Beach Florida! These drywall companies down here just care about the money not the quality its a shame. Keep on doing what your doing.
Thanks , I'm sure the boys would like a trip to Florida.
I prefill everything with quickset , if you dont those joints and butts show through over time! I have repaired a ton of jobs after many tapers have done jobs this way ....not cool
We tape with quickset
Well Done boys
Cheers mate 🙏
Whoever layed that street rock is the man dude, made it eaaaasy for yall!
A four man crew of good journeymen can do a scary amount taping in a short time.
They’ll do the entire apartment compound in a week 🤣
@@Frankie431 that's Mexicans in America, white boys got nothing on them
Always that one idiot that likes to bring up race for no reason lol
@RuleofVicus stop hiring shitty crews then? Mexicans are the best there's really no question about it.
@@rtreyk but they never pick up their trash 🗑
Man, you gotta love teamwork! Everyone aware of where the other guys are. If I'm not mistaking, these guys walked out of the construction site before the mud was even dry!
Watching these videos remind me how bad I suck at mudding LOL..
Very great team work, i like the way the tapping guy switches back n forth b/w ceiling and walls so none of the orange guys needs to wait
This is a perfect crew..
Professionals.
Yeah the boys are cool as. They are all related you know. Two brothers and a cousin
Too bad people like this don't exist in real life.
Definitely not professional......... just a decent house crew.
@@downintheshed2449 🤣 always a critic. Loser
Look up drywall finishing bazooka, will change your life and make what your doing a 2 man max job (in Canada that would be a 1 man job with a bazooka).
Another tip, use a fast set mix for your pre-fill, it will shrink less.
Now that youve done that, look up drywall finishing boxes and a mud pump....."BOOM"
you have just reached the 21 century in wall finishing....
Mass respect to your trade. I tried to do this and it about killed me. Of course, it gets easier with experience. You guys rock!
This is pure professional. Your team is good at the job.
I’m just here for all the drywall experts opinions.
Now, this is a good crew. Very professional and very neat.
I wish I had more people around me my age so we could rock out a bunch or jobs but you guys do a great job you make that trowl look way to easy lol props!! Love the video ill definitely watch more
I've been in the game since 2005 and this is the best crew I've seen, well done lads.
works as a electrician my self...somehow i find this awesome to watch
Where is all the electrical in that space? I don't see any switches or outlets roughed in...
If you are looking for an instructional video, keep looking. These guys are just showing off!
Great technique and efficiency.
His joints are good....and he keeps the mud in the joint....minimal sanding..
Also tape is in middle of mud layer no bubbles....this is a good team of tapers spacklers
Hey boy's, nice job! Canadian drywall finisher of 18 years here!
Hey mate. Thanks for tuning in.
Cheers 🙏🏼
"Take off eh"
@@u.s.paratroops4633 don't forget the comma, eh!
@@ceeqeur hoser...
I have so much respect for these guys.. their skill is absolutely insane.. I am pretty capable in most Reno jobs, except muddying, tiling and roofing..
I can't believe you guys aren't using a bazooka and a pump way faster
C XS no
Sometimes they do, watch some of their other videos.
Faster than being done in 30 minutes?
they’ll be done by the time you clean your bazooka and pump lol
Finally, some real competition 😎
WTH, what are the dimensions of the drywall? looks like 4 x 25 ft? things would go much smoother with the remodeling of my 12 x 25 room.
6m length (just under 20ft)
6M x 1200mm. We can also get 1350mm wide sheets for 2.7M (9ft) ceilings.
All my years in the trades I never thought I'd be impressed by mudders; but here we are. Sitting here still in half disbelief at the impressive teamwork and coordination, the clean worksite and complete lack of swearing/unnecessary chatter. If I'd worked with you lot I'd have chosen to stay in the trades!
Hey mate I use the same tape box but there’s been a lot of mud dripping from the head when I do horizontal joints, the gauge is a good consistency, I’ve played around with thick, running and medium body mud mixes and also played around withthe mud adjustment but no matter what it still spews out on the wall, any suggestions?
Honestly not sure why, sometimes when you don't have it open enough (too little mud on the tapes) it leaks or if the mix is too wet. We don't usually get any leaking
The mud flows between the adjuster flap and the underside of the lid which causes the drips. Fill between the adjuster flap and underside of the lid with cornice cement. The adjustment of the flap isn't necessary, set it half way and lock it in for good.
@@notoriousmt My man, appreciate it! I did have a look and can see the gap that would be causing the issue I’ll do some Macgyver work on it
What box is that I can’t find one similar
I’ve been doing skim coating and dry wall stuff the last month and my god these guys make it look so easy! It’s crazy. I wish to be this fluent with my knife and trowel
Cornice was always amazing to me. I’m from the states and I worked as a tradie in AU for a year. It’s basically crown moulding made out of gyprock that they install with stickier joint compound. Freaking genius.
Yeah it works a treat and is really strong, easy to install easy to finish
It’s the hole in the ozone that makes us Aussies so clever😉..... but seriously, are our cornices different from the rest of the world???
No matter how good you think you are there always someone better. Great job guys. I'm impressed
Where do we get those 30' long pieces of wallboard?
Australia mate
Lol you know you love them butt joints
Man I love taping been doing it for 16 years and still learning new things in the trade
Damn that is solid. I need some new tools lol. That taper is slick
Just a bottom load banjo.
Wait till you see a bazooka lol
Worked behind many..MANY drywall guys.. been on a few drywall crews..in the trade for around 30yrs...I don't see this type of quality..much less speed..can tell you like what you do..GOOD JOB FELLAS...I don't impress easily
Right on, thanks for saying.. please subscribe to the channel
This would take me a week. And then I’d have 2 weeks of sanding.
It's just a matter of having a bazooka and some boxes
And a couple of days in the shower to clean myself
And it would still look lumpy
And after that I have been told by my wife and my kids: the room has to be redone for sure...
It would take me three weeks and then a month of sanding! Haha
Great crew with a great team approach. A lot of companies can take notes here.
I see beards are a requirement for employment, 😂
My beard grew a beard after your comment and watching these guys!
I'm a plasterer bro and good at my job
U gt that banjo hit cranking mean work
Love ur tidyness
You can tell they are not getting paid by the hour.
How can you tell? And what does that mean?
They are very thorough and systematic, meaning they are quick and do good quality work. They go there to complete the contract and get paid by the client rather than taking the piss out of an employer and dragging their arse doing a botch job knowing the boss is still going to pay them even if the contract hasn’t been complete in a respectable time frame
@@kc3481 you get paid a set price per sheet example.. $2 a coat per sheet
You average 2 bedroom apartment is 70
Sheets of 12’ drywall so you get paid for 3 coats and skim coat and have to sand it once last coat dries
People that work per sheet work alone better than per hour that is facts!
You could take that attitude on a union job in NYC and find yourself out of work in a day. Good luck with that.
That was a joy to watch. Incredible touch and technique.
That's art.
Bad ass crew. Thanks for sharing . I do drywall finishing. Crazy how fast you guys work together.
This is one job that the computer can't take away,and will always be in demand..
Don’t speak to soon. Technology can’t be stopped. But yea, these guys are A1!
Wait until they REALLY start 3-D printing houses.
these dudes are the best ive seen. nice work fellas.
