I was wondering about the blue tint. Great idea. I’m not a drywall guy but I do drywall work from time to time. Hence probably why I don’t know the tradesmen’s secrets. I love learning new shit.
@@johnbagewll2321 I never tried any other colors. I was just guessing since it is touted as less permanent by the manufacturer, it would be easier to paint over. But now that you mention it, the permanence has nothing to do with bleed through so I dunno why I made that correlation.
Thanks so much. I’ve been enjoying your videos for 4 years now. You’ve been so much help. I renovated the back of my house into an extended mudroom and hallway/ doorway with your help. I never could’ve done it without you. Thanks
I will probably never do anything with drywall but, I really like to watch guys that seem to know what they talking about and they have clear communication on how to... load, feather, finish... got it...
I was working with a master carpenter/renovator and he told me that in addition to working with him to learn, I should watch your videos. He was right: you provide good instruction on drywalling.
Lol I was thinking that too. He forgot to show the “whoops, I didn’t have enough mud so I’m adding more” pass or the “who scraped the bucket and left plastic bits in the mud” pass, and we can’t forget the “oh shit, I forgot this was only 20 minute mud, not 90” pass.
The videos are great but as I’ve just learned from mudding my basement nothing can replace experience. By the end I got some decent mud joints but I’m currently spending my day sanding my mistakes and pride away. Thanks for sharing how it should be done though!
I need these quick tips, I got my first drywall job coming up and I REALLY need help on taping and finishing tips, I’m using a 6” knife and a trowel, just cuz that’s how I was taught, but any ideas and tips would be super useful especially in a TH-cam short, I love all ur vids man ur the best
i use a 10 inch knife to feathering the edges and i do my last pass with a different trowel with more flex ... its a pain to deal with so many trowel but i like the smoother finish of a flex trowel
I do 4 to 5 coats.. less sanding.. but 3 is the way to do it if you do it everyday for living. I do small jobs here and there. Thing is with the way i do it is that i gotta give back 2 more times lol then go back a6th time to sand.
Good to know I accidentally figured out how to do this correctly while skim coating to repair the shenanigans the previous homeowner did in the master bedroom. I started using the role on technique and a magic trial and lately I've just been using a taping knife to fix the bad spots.
I cant decide if this guy is serious or not when he says "there are the 3 passes but it'll take more passes usually" and the other video "now it just needs a sanding and one more coat." A drywallers life is a meme of it's own accord :)
Just finished a plaster repair, real happy with it until I rolled paint and a few spots pulled off onto the roller?? It was dry, not dusty, what did I miss?
Did you take this idea from me and the video I did? Just curious cause I thought I was being so original by changing the colour of my mud in a ‘how to video’ for the camera to pick up on it better. Anyways, been following you for a while and always liked your content! Cheers from the east coast
Nice job, BUT, even though I’m a self taught taper (I don’t recommend self-teaching for ANY trade, but I grew up a LONG time ago (long before TH-cam)), I predict a lot more work for doctors using that recent drywall finishing rage of using a cement trowel instead of a taping knife. Wrist, elbow, and shoulder carpal tunnel, along with knee wear-out (because you have to get lower to the base because of the handle, and they don’t have near the reach to the ceiling) will be much more prevalent. Oh well, doctors and Marshalltown are probably smiling..
Can you make another tip video like this but for ocd folk? I can’t keep wiping maybe that’s why I have a chafed rear all the time no but seriously I can’t just do three passes I always find myself messing with the mud too much. Lmao.
The only way to be good at something new is to actually do it. There is a feel to most construction that you will never get by reading about it or watching someone.
Been watching his Video's for over 10yrs on TH-cam. @vancouvercarpenter you're the fucking man! Reno'd 2 Houses fully using your guidance for drywall..Thanks my man
Yay! Blue chalk in the mud so we can see it better!

No smurfs were harmed during the making of this video😂
@@johnbagewll2321 thanks for the tip. I always embrace tips from pros.

@@johnbagewll2321 I'm interested in why are colors used on a job?
This guy is a great instructor!
Sometimes you learn more by a simple quick demonstration than a long drawn out one.😊
I cannot agree more.
Totally agree, I've learned more from these shorts than watching some thirty minute video.
Thanks so much. I’ve been enjoying your videos for 4 years now. You’ve been so much help. I renovated the back of my house into an extended mudroom and hallway/ doorway with your help. I never could’ve done it without you. Thanks
Videos like this are why I like TH-cam. To the point, clear, and showing us something actually meaningful. Thanks!
OMG I so needed to know this several mediocre DYI jobs later. This is transformational!
You have single Handedly taught me to mud better than the contractor I hired… haha thank u
And if the final pass brings you back to bare drywall, you've pushed to hard...
This is true. I proved it this weekend a few times. LOL
Same 🥴
You should.make Load Feather Finish Merch. That would be a great slogan on a tshirt
Load feather finish. A nice life lesson. Works great in relationships.
Looks easy but like many things experts make skilled work look like it is easy to do.
I will probably never do anything with drywall but, I really like to watch guys that seem to know what they talking about and they have clear communication on how to... load, feather, finish... got it...

Glad you moved over to shorts! Your vids are great but the shorts are an excellent move too!
Excellent communication & demonstrations
You make that look too easy.
"It will often take more passes than that".
Yep, that's how I work.
Lol I was thinking that too. He forgot to show the “whoops, I didn’t have enough mud so I’m adding more” pass or the “who scraped the bucket and left plastic bits in the mud” pass, and we can’t forget the “oh shit, I forgot this was only 20 minute mud, not 90” pass.
As a new maintenance mechanic, this was a great lesson. Thank you.ive never known how yo mud right.i feel like I take a long time.
Thanks for all your help 🙏 😊❤
In the process of learning. I appreciate this insight!
Ben you’re amazing, you make it look so easy.
The videos are great but as I’ve just learned from mudding my basement nothing can replace experience. By the end I got some decent mud joints but I’m currently spending my day sanding my mistakes and pride away. Thanks for sharing how it should be done though!
I love this dude skill ..feather your edge
Didnt get selected for drywall job. Ill keep applying.
Thank you!! You make it look easy! There’s definitely a knack for it! I hope you are staying busy in this build back better economy we are in😏
Thank you for everything you show I greatly appreciated 👏
Omg great instructions…Could have used this 10 years ago but I’m still learning
Every second is gold. This is how tutorials should be made.
I been trying to use a hawk n trowel for 40 years. I give them away. Knife n pan man myself. U looking great 👍 bruh nicely done
Thank you! I have a few holes to patch after repipe
Load. Feather. Finish.
Feather the edge.
Ben, we need some some Vancouver Carpenter t-shirts!
I’ve been thinking about it
@@vancouvercarpenterI want one to VC.😊
I been looking for a drywall video that explained the steps in feathering. This guy nailed it. LOAD, FEATHER, FINISH. That should be a T-shirt.
I need these quick tips, I got my first drywall job coming up and I REALLY need help on taping and finishing tips, I’m using a 6” knife and a trowel, just cuz that’s how I was taught, but any ideas and tips would be super useful especially in a TH-cam short, I love all ur vids man ur the best
I did see another taper for the hard line uses the 6" or 8" blade and for this 3rd time you can use the trowel
My advice don't do it if your a do it yourself home owner...
I love watching drywall videos and actually doing drywall/mud work. It's so soothing.
Sir, you are a very professional instructor, thanks for sharing this video. Leroy Chavez.
No matter how many video I watch I'll never be this good unless I see it in person.
A fantastic skill to have you'll never lack for work. Knowing spanish is a plus in my region
Love you teaching videos
This young man had a ball and socket joint intalled in his elbow so he can do that slick backward pass. Excellent. Thank you, young brother.
I already know how to do that..but explain it really well.
i use a 10 inch knife to feathering the edges and i do my last pass with a different trowel with more flex ... its a pain to deal with so many trowel but i like the smoother finish of a flex trowel
you're the only one that teaches this basic tip! ty
Really lovin these shorts man! Super helpful!
I scraped a popcorn texture ceiling and used the same method to create a smooth finish. Was a lot of work but turned out nice. Works well 😎👍
Clear. Simple. Concise.👍
The intro alone in most 'How To' videos are at least twice as long as this entire clip. 😣
I learned watching Laurier. Instructional videos.
Me too
When I was in Vancouver I Saw this job and I wanted to try to do drywall... interesting job.
Love watching experts do this!
I do 4 to 5 coats.. less sanding.. but 3 is the way to do it if you do it everyday for living. I do small jobs here and there. Thing is with the way i do it is that i gotta give back 2 more times lol then go back a6th time to sand.
Beautiful!
Good to know I accidentally figured out how to do this correctly while skim coating to repair the shenanigans the previous homeowner did in the master bedroom. I started using the role on technique and a magic trial and lately I've just been using a taping knife to fix the bad spots.
You are the best thanks for teaching me us
Thank you for your vids! I’ve learned a lot 👍🏻
You have such good techniques ‼️🫡🫡
Excellent !
Great video!!!! Like the blue mud too...
Awesome tips Bud !
The second pass sounded like a 50-50 on a rail.
Load Feather Finish !
Sounds Kinky
Thank you for your videos
Curry trowel for the win 🏆
I like how he pronounce the “W” on trowel do well. When I first started hearing the world in videos I thought people were saying trail.
I'm going to have a crap load of sanding to do since I didn't know this stuff. Oh fun.
Nice. Wish mine were that nice. Lol.
❤ love it great tutorial
I am doing level 5 finishes because of Ben many of you already know he is one of the best teachers out there - the Drywall GodFather…
Wow... someone who knows what they're doing! Impressive, well done, sir!
Leg end. More tips plz mate. 💪💪👍
Load, Feather, Finish.
Cheers bro.
🤝
Good to see you back big man!!
I cant decide if this guy is serious or not when he says "there are the 3 passes but it'll take more passes usually" and the other video "now it just needs a sanding and one more coat." A drywallers life is a meme of it's own accord :)
Exactly how I learned
Ur doing a great job in these "shorts" Thanks
Did you know the directions actually recommended using a damp sponge verses sanding?
And did you know you haven't got a clue what your talking about
Thank you😊
Perfect 👍👍👍
Just finished a plaster repair, real happy with it until I rolled paint and a few spots pulled off onto the roller?? It was dry, not dusty, what did I miss?
Your videos are excellent.
Thank you for this. 🙌🏾
I love this video ❤❤❤❤
I've been following you for a while good information thanks for sharing
when the light its it ,you can see the joints .
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks for these
Drywaller and Skateboarder.. never knew that
I was getting worried until the end when you said it generally will take more passed. I'm thinking wow I'm way too slow
Did you take this idea from me and the video I did? Just curious cause I thought I was being so original by changing the colour of my mud in a ‘how to video’ for the camera to pick up on it better.
