MF stands for metal furring not metal frame or fabricated
Interesting, if you google it, different manufacturers of the product will give you different names, frame or fabricated being the most popular mate
@@Onthetrowel âThe Metal Furring System (MF Ceiling) is a suspended metal frame which allows for the direct fix of plasterboard sheets to create a smooth and seamless finishâ
To be fair, I've only ever known it as MF so I googled the meaning...
You're probably right mate.
Do you minds if I pin your comment to the top so others can see it pal?
Think youâll find Samuel l Jackson will disagree what MF stands for!

Very rare for someone to truly know how to explain something in a concise and accurate way. You're a natural teacher
Just glue it what's with the screws
@@clairewiseman-cq8ct REALLY????
@@clairewiseman-cq8ct Screws will still be there when the house is demolished, how long will the glue last?
@@pcb1962EXACTLY! đ Belts n braces as me old dad used to say and itâll last forever!
I said the same thing after watching just one of his videos.
No idea why I watched this as I'm not in the Trade, but watching somebody who is an expert doing what they do well is always a pleasure. Great Job.
Thank you
Same here. I'm a DIY biff and know my limitations. He makes it look easy but this is one job that I know I'd make an absolute mess of and end up having to get a pro in or just have to live mpwith a messy lumpy uneven finish and hope nobody notices...
Me too! đ I'm not in the Trade or anything related, but I really enjoyed the video. He's such a great teacher that right now I feel I would not do such a bad job, if I attempted it đ
Exactly. my thoughts as well.
Same here
This Muck Slinger is a real Pro, heâs a great Teacher, and a Kind Hearted Gentleman to boot! Good on you, Kirk.
American here - I could listen to this guy all day.
i have absolutely no business watching vids like this, lol, not a home owner, don't do diy, sit on my arse infront of the computer most of the time, lol. but its good to learn these things, never know when you might need to lend someone a hand. cheers for the knowledge and keep it up
@wizardofcheese Loved your comment, gave me a laugh. Thank youâ€
Iâm a tradesman in the US. 57 years now actually. I like your style dude. I almost never subscribe on the first video but I think you do what is SUPPOSED to be done with your trade and that sets me at ease.
Most contractors can't understand it, but doing little jobs for free (not always, just every now and then, when you are in the mood) can get you really far. It costs 1 hour of your work, but it's almost guaranteed, that person you did that for, will praise you among friends, family and neighbors. That is cheapest form of advertising and from my experience, also most effective.
To all you honest trade persons, a big salute of respect.
Excellent offering up the job for free- always great to look out for the elderly and vulnerable. Good job all round, professional.
Just glue it what's with the screws
What a guy!
And, bonus, giving us scousers a good name too! :)
Scousers and Irish, the best.
@@noelstephenryan4837 absolutely my friend!!
@@noelstephenryan4837 absolutely right. I spent 4 years with scousers in the Royal Naval Reserve in Liverpool back in the 1980s, and they are my favourite people. And if ever I was in difficult times, Iâd only want scousers with me.
Agreed but heâs deffo not a scouser but either way he obviously top of his trade đŻ
I thought it was eddy Yates
Never thought about cutting the ceiling to the replacement piece. Just goes to show that the best ideas are the simplest ones! Good video buddy.
Same technique for replacing a small patch of carpet
@@iskrajackal9049 - and repairing steel car body panels.
by far a much easier way....especially out of square or round patches....
Always a pleasure to see quality craftsmanshipâŠ. Itâs quite rare these days đ
Offered to do it for free , kind of thing you rarely see these days , massive respect to you pal and thats coming from a manc lol .
Customer is happy and he got paid anyway. It's just the kind of thing that gets you recommendations and more work.
Not sure why this popped up in my recommended videos, and even more unsure about why I actually watched it, but it was entertaining and informative - even if I'll never do anything like it.
Great attitude, itâs good to see that there are people who give a shit still out there. Obviously you know that, what goes around, does indeed come around. Hats off sir, good job.
Fair play to you for offering to do it for free, brings a tear to my eye.
Comes across as a complete pro and a top bloke.
Trades man no? Craftsman very much so my man. Different trades but I know a star when I see one. Keep doing what youâre doing mate. Act of kindness is rare but a good advertisement for a a craftsman with good work ethic.
Perfectly put, Andrew.
You are a natural for explaining everything concisely but simply, as they say "keep it simple stupid" keep up the great work !
Cheers pal
Great video, well explained.đđđ
20 minute easy fill is also a good option for these little patching jobs ,2 neat coats and a quick sand job done đđ»
In 20 min you will still be standing there waiting for it to go off, then you need to rub it down. 20min only applies when you lay in on paper thin
Not true ,Iâve been using it for years and I guarantee it would be quicker and get better results than plastering it, if you put it on nice and neat it will just need a quick rub down afterwards and youâll never know it was there but that depends if you know what your doing and not everyone does especially these keyboard warriors đ€Ł
@@jamiedavies8795 That's fine if the customer is sanding it themselves, but you can't hang around waiting for easifil to cure before you can sand it.
@@jamiedavies8795 Easifill is fine, but there are trade offs between these two approaches. Easyfill is much softer than plaster (more easily damaged), requires you to wait for it to dry out properly before sanding, and sanding means creating dust.
Well I'm a plasterer so it's just as easy for me to work with plaster.
If a tape and jointer turned up then I'm sure he would of taped and joined it and likewise a decorator probably would of caulked it.
There are many ways to skin a cat. It's just easier for me to work with tha materials that I'm used to.
Fellas know this, there are different ways to do alot of stuff, non of them are necessarily right or wrong if the job is done and it's perfect. So each to their own đ
Your a good man đ
I can't imagine how this dude turns a simple job into something
much more. Tape and texture and be done with it mate. That's
the way we do it here in the good old USA. Forget the SBR and
obscure tape and get it done my friend.
Exactly. A simple job turned into war and peace.
Great work, and really pleased to hear that both you and the customer took a gentleman's approach to the bill.
Awesome video! Clear instructions and right to the point. And no annoying music edited into the video!!
I did an apprecticeship as a solid plasterer, as a young man in Victoria, Australia. Many times, I was having to work on Gyproc and Plaster sheets. When I came to the UK and saw that brown cornice cement, it took me by surprise. Then seeing, entire walls rendered with it, left me completely stunned. Very different techniques and materials, only separated by 16,000 Km. Eazyscrim, a nice tip! Great work, best wishes with your channel and educating the world. A talent learned, becomes a gift only when shared.
Iâm in Australia. I was thinking wtf is he doing.
I like putting a screw in the old drywall as well right next to the repair. It's unlikely that edge will be especially strong and many repairs are from things like water damage that will cause the old stuff to sag.
You seem totally brilliant in your craftsmanship here, plus your presentation is splendid. Thank you, for creating and sharing this.
I love to watch skilled professionals. They can be so hard to find.
You would make a brilliant teacher mate. Perfectly explained đ
Very well explained, informative, concise, and clearly spoken. đ
Female here, loved it, especially joke about no time to fart!! Great job...
Glad you thought it was funny love, just a bit of banter
I missed that joke damn it.
He only replies to women. đ My man!
Nice tips for someone who occasionally needs to fix walls and ceilings around the home. Thanks!
What a great teacher. I teach up here in Glasgow. The kids would love your lessons. College kids too.
Great work & thanks.
Just subscribed based on this one video. Great narration by the way... "corner of me trowel". Love it! Am glad that the home owner insisted on paying you. Honest work, honest pay. From Canada.
Cracking video, Iâll show it to the trainees
You sir are a legend and have been watching you from the start of your channel.
I now use a couple of your tips and can't believe how it's improved my plastering..
All the best to you and your family and look forward to all the new content đ
Fantastic stuff ! Listening to all your pro tips is captivating ! There were so many in this video, hard to believe it was only over 10 minutes. Cheers from France !
Really well presented. Each part very well explained. Obviously a seasoned tradesman. Well done.
Video production and editing getting better and better, quality of information and learning top notch
Plaster board is known as drywall in North America, my Dad was a Brit, he kept calling drywall plaster board, now I know why. We had some work done by a young guy whom I have nicknamed "The Manic Depressive Carpenter" because when talking to him he sounds so blase'. He does very good work, gets stuck-in, when he gave us his bill, he subtracted the material he returned to the lumberyard, this impressed me deeply as I didn't pay for material he would be using on his next job, he is my GoTo carpenter, I would recommend him if asked. I'm in Canada by the way.
Amazing that you offered it for free. Good on you and well done the owner for paying for work well done.
Good job Kirk, plus some good tips. Many thanks.
Enjoyed this so much! Really good video. Well narrated, good job!
Beautiful work , love watching this artist
Nice job, and top bloke for offering to do it for free
Great patch; now, go have a cold pint. đ»đđđšđŠ
Great video, the bit I find most impressive is when you said your conscious about not dropping any plaster. I have never know a plaster yet who doesnât get more plaster on the floors, windows and anything else that isnât a wall.
I've done a fair amount of drywall but still saw so many excellent techniques new to me, as well as products I never see here in Canada! Thank you!
Lovely to see such craftsmanship in action
Nice job, great video, superb, honourable action.
what an awesome human, awesome job, awesome tutorial, and awesome accent (he says from CA USA)
Great to see someone who knows what they're doing fix this up and educate us with a proper narration and what you use. Thanks. I've subscribed.
Top work as usual, and great tips. A feathered corner patch is one of the most difficult jobs to get right and your finish looks excellent.
Well done Kirk.. great video. đ
What a guy, hell on there yessir ( Manx salute )
Kirk is real genuine guy I don't know him but i wish he was my best mate keep it up mate your a star
Nice one mate. Great job & I loved the fact you wanted to do it for nothing but fair play to the old boy to. Because of your decent morals I've subscribed to you. I'm retired but was a plumber & us tradesmen have to stick together & also help the elderly that can't always afford it or get blatantly ripped off by a shitty scumbag. I'll look forward to watching your videos mate.
Thanks for your expertise. I love your accent
𧰠*Great tutorial, in both explaining the subtle and important details, and also in showing the overall and total technique.* Seeing your whole process and listening to you explain the reasoning is helpful in bridging the gap from good to great. _This is really great content, and do please keep up the great work. TY!_ đ§
Top bloke and top job. Thanks for this
I learned a lot in a short time here!
Great info and great editing! Thank YOU đ
I like your style Kirk. Fantastic and to the point. Total pro and sound fell to boot.
How kind of you! Super explanation and video âŠnot that Iâm ever likely to do it at my ageâŠđ. Lovely job, young man ⊠well done you! đđŒ
I do a lot of painting & decorating at work, I've probably met two other plasterers in 25 yrs that take as much pride as you.
đ
Wow, thank you!
Great video well explained and edited. Top Job đ
Well done Mate your a Gem ive fixed a few roofs for free for our older generationđ
Nice little video ...I watched it all the way through even though i was looking for videos on drilling through plasterboard đ. Top bloke who you'd have a pint with...subscribed đ
Plasterer in StL here. Iâve used all the ways mentioned of accelerating the plaster set but have got to say Iâve never peed in it! đź But I just may try it on my brotherâs house this weekend! đ
Good man with principles - not wanting to charge a pensioner in the first place. But also wise enough to not make the customer feel bad or inadequate by staunchly refusing payment when they really insist on paying.
Your just a great bloke and i wish you all the best
Wow, what a fantastic simplified video for a rather complexed task. you made it really easy to understand. First rate tutorial sir. Beautifully presented !! I'm now subscribed.
Brilliant video.... loving the tips you share. Subscribedđ
Nicely narrated đ
Great video Kirk!
That was as good as a medĂtationđđđ
You made that look easy and for me, thats the sign of a skilled tradesperson
I've done a little bit of plastering. Some nice tips there, cheers.
That was great mate, really well explained
Top fella for helping out an old boy who's been let down. Some tradesman see the bigger picture, and some don't đ
Excellent work!
Good trustworthy tradesman, great service.
Must admit as a layperson, I was a tiny bit sceptical, but at the end of the video there with the final shot with the angle close to the ceiling. The finish is near if not pure perfection. Wow.
Very nicely explained, great video
Absolute gold mine of information đ
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job! I have to do this above my mantel. Many thanks!
What a lovely guy you are.
Nicely done. I have a similar mess to clean up in a closet that had some water damage. Thank you. Thank you.
Top Man.đ
Thanks Iâll be using some of these tips đđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
I enjoyed your work!
Plasterers blow my mind
Great video. You make it look so easy!! Iâve tried plastering but I find I put more on the floor than I do on the place requiring itđ€Ł, itâs a voodoo technique. Good job mateđ
What a great video. How nice to offer your work for free because of what had happened with previous builders. Well done mate. Namaste x
Your a good Plastering teacher mate.
Yeah, that was great.
YOU'RE!
@@Jeff82556 *You're
Thanks. Splendid video.
Brilliant video đđđ
Well described and a nice bloke
