Good video with some very good tips. your first initial mark with the level was abit off on the floor! like you said, even a cheaper laser level is worth it, for any trade realy. good piece of kit to have in the van.
Thanks Blaine. Top vids as always. What do you suggest the best fixings to use if you are keying a stud wall to existing stud wall. I need to add a stud wall in the bathroom to take a shower cubical but the other walls are all stud and plaster. We moved recently from a solid brick Victorian house. It’s now like living in a box of matches and the sound insulation is shizzer! 🙄
Concrete floor just drill and rawlplug it in. drywall it really needs to be fixed to a stud or end. If you cant id personally cut into the drywall and add a stud to fix too but if the bottom plate and header are fixed solid the end stud could float i guess
Cheers for the video Blaine. Are the noggins necessary if plasterboard is being fixed to the uprights??... I can't see how the noggins add strength??.... what am I missing?? :-)
It's designed to pull the timbers straight - it's not necessarily strength. It helps to make the wall straight when the timbers are pull together in the centre 👍
Great video Blaine , I put up a stud wall before the lockdown 3 months ago no plaster at the moment but when I eventually get some is the plasterboard still ok to scim over regardless of how long it has been up?
should be fine man, what can happen if its been a particularity long time is the boards dry out slightly and they end up having a bit more suction, if you get this problem just put a coat of pva and go over it once its tacky
Thank you so much for posting. Is it possible to ask you for a bit of advice? Have you heard of it used Knauf Goldband? I'm trying to establish if I can use it directly into plasterboard but struggling with finding this information! Any advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the very helpful video nicely presented. I take it the height of the wall is less than 2.4m so you can use one board? I always seems to get a higher wall where I have to have a second board on top the requires noggins in line, which is more of a pain to do!
Hi Blaine, great content as always. I hope you have time to answer this question. I have wattle and daub wall with lime plaster. In the hallway the plaster is blown and cracked. I was thinking of treating it with a fibre glass mesh then apply multi-finish on top of it. Do you think it’s a false economy or should I take it back to the brick? 🧱
Hi mate. You shouldn't plaster over a lime rendered wall - you would essentially be trapping the moisture. Lime render is designed to breath whereas the plaster we use now isn't. It's probably best to use a lime based finished plaster or start again as mentioned. I know it's a pain but that's the right answer. Hope this helps my friend 👍
You don’t - you usually have to parallel that line for the opposing wall or measure it according to the room. The last will only give you the plumber like is facing 👍
Hi Blaine great content as always! I just have a random financial question here first off how do customers usually pay you, in cash cheques, or bank transfer etc? & also do you need a business bank account or just use your own personal one? Cheers
The closer your cut is to the step the less wobble you get, also please move your hand away from the saw. Slightest knot or slip and could be In Trouble. Great video though
Great video, process well explained, need to extend bedroom with a stud wall
How good was that!! I’m now ready to do my stud wall thank you soooo much have saved the video for future reference again thank you ❤️❤️
64 years and you've taught me saw handles are 45 degrees lol thx
Just the video I needed Blaine. I need to take down an old block partition in my renovation and replace it with a stud! 👍🏼
Yep, another amazing video Blaine, thank you for the great tips!
Thanks Marcus!! You're a legend - I really appreciate it 👍
Another great video, have you thought about doing a tutorial video on walking/plasterering on stilts
Thanks matey!! Check out the Big Ceiling video on my channel!! I cover that there my friend 👍
Brilliant video! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!!
Great video well explained keep them coming 👍👏
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that 👍

Cheers pal and your right...they make the job so much easier! I couldn't live without one now! Great hearing from you pal 🍻
Good morning sir any chance you could do a video on how to board and mesh under a winding staircase. Great videos

Good job 👏 mate
Cheers matey!!
Brilliant video! How would you attach it to a concrete floor and a drywall?
Concrete floor just drill and rawlplug it in. drywall it really needs to be fixed to a stud or end. If you cant id personally cut into the drywall and add a stud to fix too but if the bottom plate and header are fixed solid the end stud could float i guess

Man of many talents, do U get much call on metal studding, Price of timber now watching 💸 out of your wallet, good vid 👍
Thanks pal! I'll be honest, I've never done metal studding but I've still never been asked. It's very rarely seen domestically!
the line is wrong as you put a line on the floor with the level then the Lazer wasn't following it.

Yeah mate... It's 2.3m so I've got enough height! That is a pain - I'm lucky with this one pal 😂
I see a new zealand chippy Scott Brown do PB horizontally. What's your thoughts on this Blaine?
It's sometimes better on waste so if it works for the room then it's great. He's got a great channel 👍
hi I have outside solid concrete can I build a wooden shed screwing in concrete will it hold it

@@PlasteringForBeginners Thanks for answering my question Blaine. Would that apply to a inernal dividing wall?
Great video I would love to own a paslode, hopefully one day :)
They are amazing!
Great work, what nails did you use in the paslode. 90 or 65 ish?
Thank you mate!! These were 90's 👍
Isn't that plaster board on the right?, if so doesn't the frame not need to be the thickness of the plasterboard further back rather than flush?
I'm over boarding the the section on the right. It saves waste and helps with sounds insulation 👍
How do you know that the line on the floor from the laser level is straight
You don’t - you usually have to parallel that line for the opposing wall or measure it according to the room. The last will only give you the plumber like is facing 👍
Where does the door lead to?

Hey Pal tried to pay for ur blueprint on plastering but my credit card wouldn’t allow it
What nails size should I use?
90mm Pasloade Nails. That's what I've used with this gun...hope this helps!
After many years of using a wood saw I never knew those edges on the handle were angle edges 🤣🤦
Lol 😆
Yeah I only found out a few months ago too 😅
