Is there something this man can't fix without it looking as if it never broke? Amazing Tommy!
Tommy is the man for sure!
Facts
Two things I think when I see Tommy: 1) this will turn out awesome and I can do this
2) this will be a big damned job
After being a drywall finisher for 20 plus years . .that was actually impressive.
Yea this is awesome. I wanna know where u get plaster like that.
He said molding plaster! Lol...sets way to fast. Maybe someone should tell him about lime/gauging
Cutting the profile in the knife was genius.
@@ultramaga3359 he’s actually doing it the way old school plasterers did it. You take a cross cut, stick in a piece of metal and trace the profile to the metal. Cut it out and it matches the cornices profile
@@ultramaga3359 absolutely.
Yall see Kevin throwing the water from the brush like he was a priest with holy water
😂
🤣🤣🤣
In nomine Patris et fillii et Spiritus Sancti 😆
@@watching999 what language is even that
@@justinwoods240 that’s Latin. It’s what the priests would have said in a catholic mass a few years back.
That was pretty slick how he cut that 6 inch mud knife to follow the pattern of the previous crown...good stuff!
I do this for a living on listed buildings and tbh it wasn't bad, I like the fact nothing phases him he just gets on with it. Greetings from the UK.
Oh Thankyou. I know where i will need to use this. Been trying to solve the job for weeks didnt know how to make a start.
Valuable experience.
Done this myself once after seeing how they did it on that “How do they do it?” Shows
Looks hard but actually it’s not too hard if you manage to make a good template from a knife. And TAKE YOUR TIME! I did 3 layers/mixes.
What IS difficult is the corners. THAT takes skill. I found that very tough.
Any tips on how to do the corners? I'm really not sure how to approach it...
Wowwww just learn how to fix the molding of my old house. Thanksssss!
the ending is great when Tommy tells him he has a job too...to clean up 😂
Wow Tom you really are Talented hope to one day have at least half of your knowledge and skills
That cutting the knife to the shape of the molding is genius. Defiantly going to use that.
Craftsmanship at it’s Best 💥👏🏽
I thought I was pretty good at building up plaster and sanding to match, but this is extra clever. I can use this.
I hope he leaves that custom spackle knife with the home owners in case they need to do any repairs in the future.
TOH made it available to them for $399
@@MrJoshua182 At Tommy Silva's hourly rate, that's a bargain!
This is GENIUS!! WOW!!
You fellas always deliver! xoxo from Canada
Tommy is quite the Artist.
If you add bit of hydrated lime you could work with plaster better because plaster dries very fast.
Whoa the knife method is clever
Next up Tommy paints a ceiling fresco.
that would certainly be something 😂
Brilliant work Tommy 👍
Got it.
1. Hire Tommy.
2. Pay Tommy.
3. Relish in the skills of Tommy.
I guess that's why they call it "molding".
Nice job Tommy!!
Wow, impressive.
Tommie can fix anything. And he does it with such S T Y L E.
Tom, you’re the man!
Thank You Very Much!
Tom! Great job.
Wow that’s awesome idea looks great
Great that Miss Molly loves TOH !!
Mr. Silva!! You da man!!
THANK YOU !!!
When you’re too early to see the wholesome comments
Nice
AmaZing Tommy 👏
fking bingo @ 1.30,, i have to plaster into a door frame thats rotted at the bottom and i couldnt for the life of me figure out how to get the profile. God bless you Tom..
IMPRESSIVE!!!!
Amazing
Nice!
Excellent...
Beyond Impressive. What type of plaster do you use?
Amazing 🤩
Good to know this things😊
Tommy is the step dad we all wish we had.
Bet you wish you had a LASER cutter on a robotic arm when you fashioned that spackle knife Tommy!
NICE
Any suggestions for the best way to cut a clean slot in the plaster in order to get the profile?
I love when they do old-fashioned stuff like that as though they had apprenticed a hundred years ago and it was second nature to them.
Seriously! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do plaster molding like this on TOH and he seemed like an expert.
I wish they would show more; I like seeing the old school way of doing things
Im curious if they would actually cut and make custom knives like that bitd. Definitely using that to tune up some of mine.
Slot to trace profile!
Trimmed out a very exclusive home ...15 million in value...had a man come in an did a lot of ceiling crown this way and made it look easy..plastered the walls with a pattern that home owner requested...would hate to demo walls thinking it's sheetrock
So can I do this with joint compound? Or do I have to mix my own plaster?
good question, fast set joint compound would probably work, but once it is set up, it is difficult to sand and reshape, but it would be stronger than plaster. You noticed Tommy was rewetting the plaster and smoothing the shape. Doubtful you would be able to do that with fast set.
Don’t take my word for it, but consider using Plaster of Paris. Mix it in with a little regular joint compound, 45 or 90 minute setting compound to extend the working time. Vary the amount you mix in to get the setup time you want. For making a molding in multiple lifts, maybe about 1 part PofP to 2 parts 45. That’d give you about 20 minutes of working time. Let dry and spray with water between lifts. Make a donut and mix the parts wet.
Wow
3 minute clip yet YT attempts to run a 24 minute ad before the clip starts.
Alright he out did himself on this one
Tom 😎
I stole Tommy's idea but I used a plastic knife and made my pattern on it to accomodate a 45 degree angle instead of a 90. I built the 90 first and thought the 45 would work so much easier. Don't tell Tommy, but it did.
Why would someone hit the thumbs down??
Gee Tommy. 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Moulding plaster.. is that just plaster of paris? Tried copying your great tip but plaster of paris sets really quickly.
Where do you get plaster powder?
the plaster mines
I want to know what Tom can’t do!
That's easy.... nothing lol this mans a genius
I think it would be easier to make it out of plywood rather than ruin a scraper. Plus plywood withe be easier to cut.
I’ve heard that adding vinegar to the plaster mix will slow the curing time. Someone with more knowledge than I have could chime in to comment.
Just in case you own a museum
Smart as f***.
Hope it looks better after it drys?
It’s Tommy’s work buddy. It’s always gonna be better..
When I worked on my house I did the same think. Except with a more steady guide. The reality is that plaster swells the longer your working it, so your for ever trying to scrape it level. The other thing is like in the video its never straight. It wobbles and weaves. The original crafts men were artisans.
Anybody could do a new build, but our house is separate the Masters from the amateurs.
What cant he do
Seems like too much work I'd rather install new molding.
rookie
It's much easier to do if you apply the plaster with a hawk and trowel.
.......jeez take the day off 👏👏
Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Amazing
