I'm so glad I found your channel! My husband was a builder for years, and I would help him. I would help him hang dry wall and wall paper, and help hold anything he needed me to, and cut in for him when we were painting, and he would do everything else when we worked on our place or my parents house. My husband passed away in 2015 and I didn't think I would have another paint brush in my hand, but the past few months I've been helping my brother-in-law paint who used to be a builder, but he's 78 and needed help, I've just been cutting in for him and he's been doing the rest. Just recently, a widow friend of mine who lost her husband asked me to paint for her because she had nobody else to do it and she's needing to sell her home. I told her I wasn't a painter, just a painters helper😂 but she has entrusted me to do this, so, I began desperately looking up videos to help me better understand how to do everything on my own and I came across your channel. Your videos have really helped me a lot. Thank you♥️
Glad to hear we have helped, thanks for watching & supporting Cherie!
My boss asked me if I knew how to paint and I have a bit of knowledge but He asked me if I knew how to do cuttings and I didn’t want to say that I could do the job if I didn’t know how so here I am learning before I go to bed wish me luck this video taught me a lot
How did it go bro?
I had no idea that when I was learning to hold a cello bow that I was also learning to properly hold a painting brush for cutting-in. 😮
From an OCD musician, love the detailed instruction!
Thank you!
Good to know! Thank you for sharing🤙
You have saved me so much time and pain as a home owner painter. Thank you for sharing your trade techniques with us.
You are welcome!
Thanks man! I love watching people who are really good at a thing, to do that thing. It will help me do my first paint job. in my bathroom.
I'm a single mom of two little girls and in the process of joining the painters union. I stumbled on these videos and I'm hooked lol. I've learned so much in just three videos and feel way more confident in my apprenticeship. Thank you so much 😁 totally dig the shirts too
I love this!!! I'm a year behind but from one woman to another I'm so happy for you. I hope things are still going well for you! I have owned my own painting business for 8 yrs and just signed a new contract for us. Most of my employees are women (not purposely but just seemed to work out that way for us).
Good for u, its been 4 yrs since u made this post, I hope your career is going well now and you're a master painter 😊
Thank you. You are so generous to offer these videos for people who want to complete home improvements on their own. So helpful!
I’m painting my room by myself for the first time and I’m struggling like crazy cuz my dad usually used to paint it for me but this video was so helpful
I'm a handyman here in northern Michigan. Been doing a ton of painting last couple months. So much money to be made here, we live in a tourist town with multimillion-dollar homes as well as rentals.
I probably spend a good 30% of my time taping. Honestly don't have much confidence doing cut in.
Spent $60 in tape on my most recent paint job, lol.
It is very important to me to give my customers the best job possible and for now that means a lot of tape. This is your first video that I've seen and I'm definitely going to look up your past videos.
Thank you very much for your effort and time
Thanks dude! I am painting my bedroom and having the hardest time painting than clean line at the ceiling! Now I know it's all about that brush!!! I am using a really cheap brush right now that does not come to a point at the top and it's giving me the blues. Then I used the painters tape and that's taking forever and I don't have forever to finish this bedroom. So, tomorrow I am headed back to home Depot to get the proper brush so I can paint like a pro like you!!! Thank you soooooo much for sharing this valuable information. God bless you continually.
Thank you for sharing and watching! I wish you Great success on your bedroom painting project!🤙
Superb video!! Great detail! Yesterday I bough the 3" Purdy sash angle cut brush. Today I tried your four finger method; & the holding of the breath I saw in another video. They worked amazingly!!! Thank you! Huge difference. I love to paint!
Travis Borden ... don't hold your breath... actually breath out and you'll have a steadier hand....ask any sniper.....
I have done renovations for 15 years and I still enjoy your videos and your sharing knowledge, appreciate that, thanks.
Glad to help
7 years later, I appreciate your helpful videos.
Thanks so much, this was very helpful! I should have watched this before I started painting! LOL! Oh well, 7 more rooms to go, by the time I'm done, I may know what I am doing.
7 rooms!?!
Thank you for your advice on how to start a cut in, I start my first year of painting in May of this year and I had no idea what a cut in was when I was reading my module.
Glad I could help!
That intro was intense... thought maybe he was painting somewhere in Middle Earth.
LOL
Hahaha right?!?
Ha ha! Super Mario right there!
🤣🤣🤣
It's a Christian thing. Adds the "glory" effect where likely utterly unnecessary in the eyes of God or man 🙄
Thanks Chris, myself been painting many years. The trick to being a good painter is making it look easy painting that comes with years of practice
Very true!
You're great with your explanations brother. Your technique is flawless. Thank you for helping us beginning professional painters.
Thank you for watching & supporting!
Bruh. Love your videos. You should start a painting class if you dont already have one. You're the only painter/teacher anyone should listen too. Youve said many times that everyone has their preferences so theres not a wrong or right way, but you're the man!!!!!
You’re awesome Chris! Thanks a lot for being so thorough and detailed. I really appreciate your awesome how-to videos!
Dude I just started a professional painting job 4 days ago and this video will help me soooo much. Thank you
That is exactly the way I do it Bro!!! I'm going to be a great painter. Just as soon as I sell the LawnCare Company!!! Thank you for the positive reinforcement!!!
wish you well
This was great! It made my painting go faster and look better. Thank you for sharing this, I never would have thought of back rolling and it made a huge difference!
Found this after my wife and I painted our first floor and it looked horrible. We cut in and back rolled ceilings and walls. Looks awesome now. Thank you
Bruh ur videos are so instrumental! I did my daughter's room last weekend with the knowledge I gained from one of ur videos!! Thanks for the info!💪🏾💪🏾
Nice job with the instruction! I have to say THANKS for including the most basic stuff in your videos - like how many fingers on the brush, how to hold the brush while using the roller, rotating the brush so you don’t glorp on the wall, and when to back roll. I have gotten lost in a lot of videos on painting wondering things like how often should I dip the brush back into paint, and trying to rewind so I could see what the dude was actually doing with the brush because it looked like he just went slash-swish and got a perfect line. If you ever have the time and inclination, editing in close-ups of hand and brush would be gravy. Anyway, for a guy whose parents seemed to be allergic to fresh paint and who never did any painting in younger life this is pure gold. You have to crawl before you walk and after painting a bathroom at a dead run after water damage fouled things up a few days before we had guests coming, I am really happy to go back to crawling and figuring out what I did wrong as I proceed to repaint and move on to other rooms.
Thanks for sharing
Great video. I’m an professional painter so I don’t know why I even watched this 🤷♀️ but leaned about back rolling your edges. Never heard of that before... I’m a cut - roll - cut - roll type painter. I never roll out a room and cut after. But I’m going to try rolling the walls out first and then cutting, because of your back roll technique. See how it goes!
do you typically/always clean a ceiling before painting it? I'm thinking of a bedroom, not a kitchen or bathroom? thanks!
Rt L I don’t clean ceilings. Typically ceiling paint isn’t washable anyways so it would be a daunting and unnecessary task :)
Kaitlyn Wiggins Thanks!!!
@@Avital4414 if you think you ceiling in the bathrooms that dirty. Wouldnt hurt to do a whipe down, then apply some killz primer, then paint.
Hi , really appreciate the videos and am learning a lot. I am not new to painting but I am new to sprayiing so all of your tutorials have been helpful. I just purchased a Graco 490 so i am on a learning curve.
I thought I'd mention a cutting in method that has served me well for many years. The advantage this technique gives you is the ability to make much longer cuts. So what you do is load your brush ( i use purdy 2.5 in angled sash brush) so that it has all the paint that it can hold. Then, paint a 24" to 30" line 3/8" to 1/2" from the ceiling working towards a wet edge. Load your brush again but this time shake it off well so that it is wet put not dripping. Now, cut in to the ceiling painting over the first cut in. The paint that is already on the wall will make it easy for the brush to slide on the wall and will feed paint into the brush so you can make much longer cut. Then I back roll just as you do in your videos. I can usually cut a 36" line at a time using this method.
Let me know if you know this method or how well you think it works. Also, I wouldn't mind if you could give me your thoughts about the Graco 490.
Thanks

Love the attention to detail with the ergonomics. My paintlife shirt came in last week. I would like to think I'm the only one in Louisiana who has it.
Thanks for the support Nathan!
Thank you so much for the helpful tips; I always trash my brush and am known for it. I appreciate your advice.
Thnx 4 the technique tips for holding the paint brush in the pail while manipulating the mini-roller and vice versa. 😀
You know what i appreciated more than some great explanations? 1:47 seconds in. Thank you Chris
Easy to follow and understand. Scripture demonstrates your character. Thanks.
Always good to learn something new, despite decorating for many years. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
So true!
It's nice Chris takes the time to help painter's that are just starting off or ones that just want advice!
Thank you for this because I will be painting my apartment myself for the first time.
Wow, I’ve been painting for a long time and never thought of using a taller ladder for better balance 🤷♂️
Back rolling🤯 game changer. Thank you 👏
You bet!
Excellent. The ladder is the key, good point. Subscribed.
Thank you for sharing and watching🤙
I'm a painter too, but in Germany. It's interesting to see techniques from other countries, in this case the US. We use a slightly different method although it may be just the company I'm in which prefers our method. But this looks very helpful to me and I sure will give it a try.
Super tutorial on technique, Chris. You get right into the details, that make a difference.
One thing I found helps is I keep my focus on the work peice, and not on the brush as I paint. I watch the brush position via peripheral vision.
I like how you go out of your way to explain detail thanks..
You are welcome!
So Much easier to cut in with a regular 3 inch then roll with an 18 in roller. No need to back roll...just something extra to carry around and get un the way. Just my humble opinion!
agreed
Very practical guide here. Thanks for this. I'm going to check how this works here in the UK.
The brush holding tip when holding onto a bucket at the same time is so simple! But yet i have never thought of it. Great tip, going to try it when i am doing some painting next time☺
Great video!!! Straight and forward to the point. I will attempt this method. Tired of taping everything. Thanks and much appreciated Chris.
Thanks Sammy
I can tell you done that a few times before. It's one thing to be good enough to show off a little bit but to be able to break it down into detailed basic steps that most anyone can use isn't easy. You know more than other painting channels when it comes to productivity
Thank You for your detailed and well presented method.
You are welcome
I've enjoyed watching your videos. I'm an old doll, but I do my own painting and I'm also always looking for tips, tool and ideas to help make my projects turn out better each time. Thanks a bunch for all.🤗
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
Outstanding, easily-digestible advice. You rock, Idaho Painter!
Thanks Andy
Good job, I like cutting from left to right, and I use a two ladders and a plank. Less hassle of getting up and down from ladder. That’s just me though. 👍🏽🤙🏽
Right on
Super helpful video, thank you! We're closing on our new house next week and I'm going to be repainting the entire interior. Your tips will make the job so much easier!
VERY good video, even down to finger placement and leaning on the ladder. Excellent!
Always amazing to watch a pro at work. Impressive!!
This was kinda what my Dad told me but the tips were super helpful since I have to paint outside and I have to cut in and I was nervous so thanks for the video I feel so much better!
I Love this video thank you soo much I was doing my cut-ins all wrong lol this is way more comfortable and worth the ladder that position makes you feel more confident when painting
Thank you for taking the time to show on how to make the cut ins. It was Very helpful on how to properly hold the brush. I'm less nervous about painting my bathroom now with your videos. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
Thanks for the great tips... I would be interested in seeing a video of you cutting a ceiling line without stopping for commentary for about a 10 foot wall so we can see how it is done in real time. Thank You for all the tips, I'm about to paint my new house using your tips and am a new subscriber.
Thanks for watching & subscribing!
You’re the man! Thanks. You’re a great teacher.
Man I really appreciate this video. I paint as well. Learned something today
the Ladder direction note is sooooo helpful! you rock. thanks so much for the awesome help. I am using expensive paint for a bedroom at my Mom's house and don't want to mess things up. Wish me luck.
Great job,great tips,thank you, God bless
So helpful.really informative about every section everything you do makes perfect sense 👌
Awesome videos, really helpful. Wish I had seen your videos before I spray painted my whole house.
Thank you! :)
This is so helpful! We just bought our first house but the whole UK is currently in lockdown so our parents and friends can't come and help us paint. Thank you for the video.
Thanks man. Pretty cool how you're willing to show tricks of the trade. Not many guys would do this because they wouldn't want to lose business. I'm learning quite a bit from you. Thank you and you are a Christian that's awesome Jesus is King
Thank you again for the great tips!!!always follow you I’ve been painting for over 30years and drywall finisher you do great work!!!
Thank you for doing these videos. I just starting painting and needing these helpful tips as I am a new painter working on cut ins.
Lots of detail. Just what I needed. Great video.
I started painting my condo before I saw his videos..big mistake! But I used his tips and each room became better, and more professional looking. What did people do before youtube?
1st year apprentice learns not to hold the brush by the ferrel.I was a painting for 26 years and never once used that method.Still doing the same way you do.
Thank you - I have taught me that I was doing almost everything wrong: no wonder my lines aren’t straight!
God bless you brother, thanks for sharing your craft
Ty. Hoping I can get on a ladder and start painting. This video gave me some confidence.
Glad it helped
Lance Armstrong’s new line of work
Thank you!! I’m a beginner for sure. Super helpful. And thank you for the scripture! 🙏🏻
What we do, is screw in a nail slanted on the side of the brush, so then you can sit it on the bucket without having to hold it. Seems to work pretty good
Nice. You make it look easy. I'll be doing this tomorrow. Thanks for the vid.
Excellent work!!! Professional painting is such an art!
Thank you for sharing and watching 🤙
He’s a pro, nice job.
thanks
Thank you you taught me something new much appreciated
You are so welcome
What an epic intro ! 👏 👏👏 great tips too. Thank you!
a good insight on process ive Just subscribed. New Zealand painter No different from skilled masters I know GREAT STUFF
I've never seen someone cut in like this in my life. You should cut in first then roll and no mini roller is required. Just figured I'd point that out
whatever works for you
I Think his target audience is DIY painters. Definitely not contractors, I would go out of business if my guys worked like this. but it's very helpful to everyday NON PAINTER.
Thank you so much that was awesome!!! I'm a new fan of your channel. I'm Mark from Toronto
You are the only painter I enjoy watching and learning from. Gracias
Very good indeed! Thanks! I’ll have a look at that ‘cutting-in’ playlist.
Thanks for the proverb. I googled it! Good content ❤
Awesome. Thanks, brother. Good verse, too. Right on!
Thanks for listening
Gee, I wish you could paint my house! Thanks for your helpful videos. :D
Prefer a now hard to find 2 1/2 square cut sash brush. You can reverse direction with a twitch of the wrist. Also if paint is sagging out you can flip the brush and keep going in the same direction. Sometimes I start with paint hanging swipe short of the cut line. That way it can’t sag out of the brush and you pick up that paint as you cut in. A brush loaded paint edger pad can very effective but don’t go to far or the coverage will be thin. Early versions of the edger pads had adjustment notches so you could hold the pad a little bit shy of a ceiling so an imperfect mud job doesn’t rag up your line. Of course you painted the ceiling down the wall slightly to help it fill in. Sashman. PS my dad claimed my grandad could cut a sash with a 4” brush. Make mine an 1 1/2 square sash.
Actually, I actually like his tips - actually
Your a master of your craft thx for the detailed videos.
You are welcome
Thanks for all the tips! I’ll use them today to paint.
Would be nice to see you transfer paint from 5 gallon bucket into the smaller bucket and know how much paint you have in the bucket. When I cut in I seem to get a bead of paint and I do not know why. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for these videos 🙏
Thanks for your video will be using your method today 👍🏻🏴💯
Thanx for the ‘paint Hack’ or Pro Tips!
you are welcome
I guess I'm naturally a good cut in. I do all of this without being told to. But I wanted to watch this too see where I could improve but the only thing I do differently is I don't use a roller to fill in the area, I just use my brush.
