This reminds me of the good ole days, when i used to hang and finish... the only this different is i used pan and knives, but i actually think this is faster.... i also had the bazooka and boxes, its odd that i didnt use hawk and trowel for finishing drywall because i could plaster too....now i just watch videos of the the work at 71 yrs of age....good job guys.
Nothing in the world like getting a full spread with a hawk n trowel countless generations have used those tools something about that is what makes a true plasterer love what he does
I love these videos. I appreciate the videos when other guys walk you through the process, but it is amazing to see a well-oiled machine on the job, at a construction site. When you get some skill mudding, you think, “Hey, I’m pretty good.” After watching these guys, “Uh, no I’m not.”
I work with drywall in Brazil, and what I have more difficulty is the treatment of joints, I smooth the mass and never look good in a coat, you are really fast and amazing, the finish is perfect! I need to learn more from you!
Really need to get a hawk and trowel and spend the time getting used to it. I do just fine with my pan and knives but it seems you can really put a lot of mud on in a hurry and more efficiently with a hawk and trowel. Always wanted to try them out but after watching your video I'm definitely going and getting a set tomorrow. Thanks for the push guys. Just added something for me to be excited about again at work. After 25 years of using a pan and knives I'm making a switch. That's exciting to me. Guess I'm not switching. Just going to run bead, butt joints and flats with it. Wait till I'm better before trying to skim any walls out with it but that's what I'm most excited about using it for. Getting rid of the roller setup for skimming. Anyways again, thanks for the push. I get too excited sometimes. Lol!
Did you try it? I have been using knife and pan for about a year, and I finally made the switch to hawk and trowel. It was a mess. It is a lot more difficult than these guys make it look. On the rare occasion I get a good run, I do like the “bulldoze” effect of the trowel over the knife. But I lost patience and converted to a knife and hawk. I’ll keep practicing.
Finally a guy on YT wit some serious skills. Check how he hasnt drop.a single plaster on the floor. His wrist is so.flexible...damnnn thats what I call a professionalist
Interesting how you use your forehand to apply from the bottom. I've always used backhand. Been taping 25 years and I can tell you guys are very good with the tools!
Thanks for sharing this video, I hope I become as good as you guys some day, I’ve been doing drywall for 6 months now an these videos help me a lot thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Cleanest stopper iv ever seen not a drop of mud on him . Must be the boss . Great technique using 1 edge of his trowel and only using his knives to load the hawk. Quite impressive 👍👍
A lot of "plasterers" could learn a thing ot two from you boys. That bloke trowling up the externals is good tradey. You can tell he gives a damn about his work. Much respect
I use Hawk Trowel and broadknives. Tried a pan once, a merican let me try , was ok but I will stick with Hawke, Hard to break 27 year habit. Good to see the workcover approved milk crates still around!
What’s crazy is I’ve never used hawk on bead but love it on the ceiling. I believe this old dog needs to up his game. They have given me something to learn. Wrist gets very sore these days coating usually use box on bead but Cat man was definitely on his game. Hawk doesn’t keep up with big boy boxes but it’s definitely lighter using hawk and trowel it’s definitely better on ceilings with hardly any end blade spills. If you’re open to learning to be efficient I would say you can always learn something new.
Im a very old plasterer. This guy is pretty handy with a hawk and trowel. But no doubt he is showing off a bit for the camera. lol Anyway a good finisher could no doubt show off as well by using a traditional blade type tool.
Holding it that way, in my own experience at least, feels more stable and consistent. Nowhere near that level but still, it made sense to me seeing you holding it that way.
It is because they are going to put up cornice. There is no need for the wall and ceiling to join together perfect when it will be covered with 90mm cornice.
Just curious why the gap at the ceilings? Crown molding maybe? I wouldn't pass inspection here doing that where I am. It wouldn't meet fire code. It would have to be type x with no penetrations. Unless there is something you're adding maybe?
Great drywall work but does Australia not have any building code for air seal or insulation? 8:04 no sealing around bottom of window or pipe penetration. Not to mention the drywall gap while a time saver for the drywall hangers and finishers is a huge issue for building a tight house.
taylor vooght not for stand alone houses. If it is a dwelling connected directly to other properties then yes a partition wall has to be installed between the properties and fire and sound insulation on top fire and sound board and has to be installed with fire resistant silicone used behind the skirting and has to be boarded to the ceiling tight and taped tight. But in standard house just lightweight board is used which has no fire rating different climates require different codes.This house was yet to be wrapped and bricked/boarded on the outside hence why you can see light coming through those gaps. it gets sealed from the outside. Cornice is being used hence why there's a gap between the wall and ceiling because a plasterboard cove cornice gets installed over the top. Hope that helps clarify how must residential homes are done in Queensland. If the house needs to be fire rated then there's also no use of glue as you can see the limited screws on the walls is because stud adhesive is the code here unless it's in a water resistant or fire resistant part of the house. or if the walls are being filed completely then only fasteners are used for the those walls and no glue.
Much respect! I would love to see the consistency of mud you guys use before you start these videos. Would be nice to know how the mud should look consistency wise for every step of the process you guys make videos on! Definitely my favorite mudding how to channel!
Thanks for watching Julio. Yeah these guys are a great team. Also some of the cleanest finishing work seen on their Instagram account, side of the best I've seen
Hi guy can I just say what a pleasure to watch you guys work True skill.im a plasterer from the uk and we skim the hole walls and ceiling I’m looking go work in Canada and never done tape and jointing be for just want to know how easy it is for someone like me pick up.thanks
Because they hang the walls first instead of ceiling first, completely backwards. Ceiling should always be first so the walls butt up under it. The base trim will fill the gap on bottom.
I've been watching other videos on plastering, and on many they actually plaster the whole wall, not just the seams as you are doing. Do you know why that is?
Base (powder mix + water) isn't allowed to go over topping (compound that's in a bucket) here in Aus. So we do all the 1st coats together then 2nds coats together and then 3rd and so on
Rick Bentley Also we try to do less wear on our body and tapers are known for getting carpel tunnel in their wrists so it's better to spend an extra second to move the crate or ladder over and do the other side comfortably then putting to much tension on the wrist trying to do both in one go and 20 years down the track need surgery
Nice work I been plastering over 30 years with hawk and trowel and that's the best I've seen👍

I’ve been using the pan & knife method for 15 years now but I’ve always wanted to try out the hawk & trowel method. You guys make it look so easy
It is easy once you master it pan seems like a slow way
These guys are absolute plastering professional. Genius

Always good watching you guys work. I spend too much time playing around with the mud, lol.
You and me both!
@@Maxkil what size Trowel is being used here? Amazing work btw
How you run that trowel is your business ! However you my friend are applying that mud with surgical precision ! The best I have seen ! Well done 👍
That's the Drywall Gangsters. Look them up on Instagram. It's the best I've seen too! Top blokes
Thanks man

I could watch this all day
Using good product is the key, good job again 👍
Great video. Guys are good at what they do. I havent seen people that smooth and fast with the hawk and trowel. amazing!
A lot of "plasterers" could learn a thing ot two from you boys. That bloke trowling up the externals is good tradey.
You can tell he gives a damn about his work.
Much respect
Respect from spain,Valencia, great team
Guys the way you work..trully open up my mind..
Hayatımda ilk defa bu kadar temiz bir inşaat alanı görüyorum. İşçilik çok iyi görünüyor.
You guys are awesome, you make it look so easy, but your skills are wonderful.
I hope someday, I will be like you guys to work.
Great job 👍👌

Hahaha nice broad surface area for stability, and bows under weight to support the joints. Couldn’t ask for a better step ;)
Fantastic control boys! Well done!
Can’t stop watching your videos mate, great job!

What you guys do is an art!!!! Great work!!!
incredible !!!! the way he is using the trowel and hawk.
Man, these guys are very fast and neat. I like the way he runs the mud, and feathers out the edges. Leroy Chavez.
Thanks for the upload the video. It helps me alot one day I want to be like them.
Odd way of holding the trowel but very effective. Very good.
WOW !!!! These Guys are GOOD !!! I could never get used to a hawk, Fine Job Gentleman !! Thanks for Sharing !!!
Yeah they make it look easy. Thanks for watching!!
This is fabulous mastery...mud poetry in motion...very inspiring 👏

Beautiful work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
7:14 what happens with the ceilingcorners ? What is there a gap of 2-3cm ?
They're in every room. I noticed that too
It is because they are going to put up cornice. There is no need for the wall and ceiling to join together perfect when it will be covered with 90mm cornice.
Aiden01 ah okay, i see, thx a lot. 👌🏻
Knowing the drywallers personally looks really nice ....
The guys are great love watching them
👌🏽👌🏽 they really know what they are doing, they use different tools but their professional, I do finishing
Thanks Andres - Send me some film of your work ! I will share it here👌
I can watch this all night it’s so relaxing lol! How can I learn to plaster like that!
just keep watching and most of all keep doing it.... thanks for being a subscriber, say hi again
Maxkil can you teach me how to plaster?
Sure I can. Where are you?

Pros make it look so easy.
Yeah they do don't they..thanks for tuning in
Today I learned that I drywall wrong. You guys make it look effortless.
Thank you bro. Just bought ox utraflex 14’’. Good job
smooth and precise not dropped any mud
1:10 can you tell me what you are putting? Is that cement or bond? Or putty? What is the white thing?
amazing , I wanted to do the same but I put more on the floor than on the wall
Really good Team!
Cheers from Australia
Beautiful work
( Onek Sundor Kaj ).
Just curious why the gap at the ceilings? Crown molding maybe? I wouldn't pass inspection here doing that where I am. It wouldn't meet fire code. It would have to be type x with no penetrations. Unless there is something you're adding maybe?
Great work! I do not drywall everyday, so why leave a gap near the ceiling?
props to you boys from Melbourne.
Very professional, good job
Thanks Jose

Never seen a man in short shorts do such a great job .
@doc hall if u say so .
He is amazing 100% wow but it's better to give us like lesson step by step as we understand well but you show us you are worked well
Makes it look so easy, it takes a long time and a lot of mud to get that quick
He’s fast and good i do this job to i like to keep watching
Thanks for watching Julio. Yeah these guys are a great team. Also some of the cleanest finishing work seen on their Instagram account, side of the best I've seen
I hold the trowel like this guy! Nice work!
Is he dritfting that trowel upside down cause i am learning and they all be useing it the other way ?
Nice work! Very clean. I'm a finisher in US.
sdeedenzacker finisher ? They called setters in Aus
@@mdoh8209 Here in the U.S. they're called drywall finishers.
Super nice work. Wow.
Fast nice professional job
Very nice plastere.
I got shoulder ache watching this!
Good job very professional 👍🏼
Good looking work I just can't give up my pan and knives
I'm a hawk and knife guy myself. I do appreciate the flatness you get with the trowel though. Im going to switch it up for a while see how I go
Easily my least favourite job to do, this guy makes it look so easy
I would love to know the tool lists those guys r using
Excelente aplicación.. De los mejores videos para apreciar la técnica
How many inches is the trovel and how many inches is the best to buy it . ???

Easiest thing in the world. Put a thin coat on. Scrape off the excess. Let it dry. Sand it. They pay £120 a day for it in the uk
Very well. Hello from Ukraine
Hi my brother is in Ukraine right now visiting
@@Maxkil I hope you enjoy in Ukraine.
@@bewennuu you do this job in Ukraine?
@@Maxkil Almost, I'm just doing repairs in my apartment. And sometimes I help friends.
Anyone know why there are gaps around the ceiling
Cornice.
Se puede aplicar masilla de yeso en la juntas de denglass??
I wonder why the corners are open?? Are they putting crown molding to cover ??
Yeah most likely.
He has an interesting backhand technique.
Yeah, he says a lot of people say that
He holds it totally backwards from anyone in Canada
I have never used hawk and trowel but man thats some nice clean work
Dude’s fast and skillful
Excellent painters.
What's with the crazy large gaps where the walls and ceiling meet.
Crown
It will be covered with cornices
Because they hang the walls first instead of ceiling first, completely backwards. Ceiling should always be first so the walls butt up under it. The base trim will fill the gap on bottom.
I was noticing that as well. Very odd going walls first and then cutting it ~3-4" short on the top.
Sean No it’s because there’s cornice to be installed.
I've been watching other videos on plastering, and on many they actually plaster the whole wall, not just the seams as you are doing. Do you know why that is?
Awww just look at that, great finish and fast too......I’m so slow lol 😂 great vid guys 👍
Is this a simulation don't see many screw's electrical boxes or light's
Very fast and nice finish but what are for those big gaps up in every corner?
Enjoy the videos. Question? Why doesn't the drywall on wall butt up to ceiling drywall? Thanks.
Scotty Donaldson Cornice goes on the gap here in Australia that's why it's a standard practice here
Thanks
Is the material used for fix the joint the same like you used for.plastering ?
Just a question. How come he's filling corner bead, and you're not finished taping?
Also, filling corner bead one side at a time? Bad habbit. I love watching these vids, but I don't understand some of your mechanics
Base (powder mix + water) isn't allowed to go over topping (compound that's in a bucket) here in Aus. So we do all the 1st coats together then 2nds coats together and then 3rd and so on
