Great work as always. I finished an entire office in my house with your teaching, and I’ve had more than one person say it looks like a pro did it. Thanks for teaching!
Your videos are not only informative and educational, but even therapeutic. Love watching you work!
I wasn't sure how the exposed studs would look being a lil rough but holy crap. The work you did really makes it looks great. It has the juxtaposition of acknowledging the age of the house along with current new work. Really amazing job and thank you for bringing us along. This was really unique!
Thanks!!!
Can't say I like the look but I sure can't fault the work
@@tmmtmm that's an easy fix tho, it just needs some casing/trim!
You got what I was going for. VC is masterful. And I gained 16 square feet of space.
From the US and I've never heard the "dog's breakfast" slang before... you learn something every day.
A good tip is to use tear away beads all around the studs where they meet the ceiling. They will definitely get movement in those studs ( especially in an old house in Canada) which will cause cracking and a gap to form. Not to mention the tear aways eliminate the need to mask off the stud and you get perfect lines against the studs.
If you don't want the shadow line from the tear away than putting a good sliconized caulk will last a century, even with all the movement from old houses .
You have a gift! Not everyone can explain their process, especially in an easyily digestable way. We appreciate it! Thank you for continuing to boost my confidence and knowledge so I can continue my remodel instead of hiring someone who probably wouldnt do it as correctly as I want it done 🙏🏼
Ben, I love watching you tackle interesting stuff like this. My struggles with drywalling stemmed from trying to get stuff too perfect too early, and watching your videos made me realize that's not only a waste of time, but sometimes counterproductive to getting a nice finished product. Thank you. (I went ahead and converted my closet access to side attic to a flush cabinet panel using that video of yours, btw. much better than removing 4 pieces of trim and nails/screws every time.)
You really do fantastic work, thank you for all of your help and taking the time to upload these videos. Helped me a ton while renovating our place!!
Awesome work Ben! Thanks for sharing all the details of this rather intricate project. It looks great!
Love this video. Your patience and attention to small details is awesome. I’m not afraid to work on tape and floating anymore. Thank you so much. 👍
I'm so glad I found your channel. You're very calm and nonchalant, and that's so reassuring for someone learning about drywall for the first time.
I'm renovating the kitchen in my 1910 house after a leaking baseboard heater rotted half the floor away. We just bought the house last year and everytime I look too close at anything I find just the worst and laziest work by the previous owners.
They had fake wood paneling up in the kitchen, held up by a few nails. Tore that off to find drywall that wasn't taped or mudded, attached to the original studs that are 24 inches apart. Pulled out the old, moldy insulation with no vapor barrier only to see the outside tar paper between the orignal wood siding and light shining in from the outside, and no attempt at flashing around the windows. I live in New England so you can imagine how not great that all is haha
I've watched a lot of your videos because I've been renovating an old house over the last year. You make it look so easy. The videos have been very helpful.
Love your spirit and videos. You've given me the courage to do my own drywall work. Thanks! "Everybody got to deviate from the norm." RUSH
Its because of that moment at 13:29 i would have wrapped the entire stud top to bottom. 😂 I am a mess tho. Still learning, which is why I'm here. So keep up the awesome work!
It's been a minute since he's posted a video like this, I've missed them. Also, I like the exposed studs as well, it looks sick.
I love when you have weird-ass projects like this that make my brain scramble to look at 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too
@@vancouvercarpenter give yourself a pat on the back for this one!
Maybe your most Bob Ross video. Amazing work.
🙂❤️
Very nice! And i am finishing drywall in my living room today. Youre beginner series was extremely timely.
Found your videos before drywalling my basement. Watched probably 5-6 hours of your drywall videos and I want to thank you for teaching me how to hang and tape. Took me probably 2-3 days longer than it would have taken you to tape , but my results were excellent. Thank you again , wouldn’t have come out nearly as good if it weren’t for you.
Excellent execution on a unique space. I love the outcome and I'm sure the owner will too!
BUD! I have been a professional all trades remodeler for going on 23 years.. @1:12 is the BEST hack EVER!! with that pencil holding that guard for those angle cuts.
Oh, so you ARE still a carpenter! Enjoyed the video and I always like watching your drywall/mudding mastery!
The Bob Ross of drywall ladies and gentlemen
I still saw that gigantic blob of runny mud plop on the floor even though you cut it! :) :) :) LOL Thanks for teaching me how to skim coat. You're the Go To!
This viddie was most definatey something I've never done. It was like an adventure for me to watch you sort it out. Good show mate.
You make it look so easy!!!! It’s stuff like this where the customer tries to save money by leaving it but all the framing, insulation, VB, boarding, taping…. Takes a ton of time and it’s a pain. Keep it up love your content
Your exactly right, on the sanding, it does make a difference.
Excellent, a work of art!!!
Wow that turned out way better than I expected.
Beautiful work, as always.
Another fabulous video Ben, thank you 😁👍
I am always learning with you man!!
2y working as a painter/plaster and most of process I learned here.
Thank you
The sanding giraffe at double speed sounds like a great metal concert!
This is an incredible work. Looks very nice!
amazing workmanship
Wow, that’s quite a complex job. Lots of details and so well done.
Excellent work! Ive been missing the long form videos. Keep em coming!!
It's awesome to be able to watch a pro, thanks.
The fact that you show your mistakes, not edit them out, doesn't go unnoticed.
Question: can you address good and bad things to use to mark drywall measurements?
Pen, marker, pencil? What'll bleed through etc...
well I wouldn't use a marker unless you're planning to prime with oil-based primer. even bleeds through shellac primer. i just use the knife to mark on drywall but a pencil would work ok too.
My wife asked what I was watching. An artist I said, an artist.
your videos have helped me a lot with remodeling rooms in my house
Ben, the stud master. Awesome work man!
As an American, I had to go Google "a dog's breakfast" 😅
Excellent video as always!
Chunks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 6. I like how you count.
Nice job. Coming to the end of my project so I don't have much if any drywall stuff left, but this was interesting none-the-less.
You've worn the look just fine over the years! 😊
Love your bead choice, trying to decide why you don’t use your angle tape. Level line works amazing
amazing work!
Really satisfying watching the layers build up around the studs. Finished product looks great.
I was thinking you could make more vertical relief cuts in the bead for the cut outs, so you're only bending off a smaller piece each time.
For me the new one was the phrase "dog's breakfast." Never heard that one before
You’re the Bob Ross of drywalling. Love your work!
Agreed!
I like the look, thanks for sharing. I probably would have shimmed the drywall to avoid cutting the corner bead, but I'm old & getting lazy! LOL
We working men. It is the way to be learnings something new every day never close your mind,and never I no everything...
Keeps the good work Rolin. That the way😊 love your mind set
You're work looks great. Why anyone would want exposed 2x4s is beyond me.
Great video. Now I’ve got an idea how to tape and mud in around some stairs with a support post at the landing.
Dang nice work cutting that corner bead and all, VC!
Another AMAZING Job!!!!!
Had to do that at a commercial site with their I-Beams. Was absolutely annoying. Glad it was easier for me to clean off.
Impressive work
Very technical work Ben ~ it turned out nice.
Hmm? I enjoyed the video. What I learned: NO!
I was going to suggest lightly sanding what looks like redwood studs, but upon closer look they have a lot of defects. I would also have done simple trim/wood where the studs meet the drywall. Guess I’m lazy. This vid certainly showcased your skills.
Interesting video, but what struck me the most, is the fact that you called that space a "dogs breakfast" 😂
This was great like always!
Am I going to need to come up and teach you how to cover the wood up quickly. Fiba Fuse is amazing.
This was a fun one!
Thanks for teaching
Awesome job! Always love the new videos! Ive used a trim tex edge bead around posts, but flat taping works great too 👍
The tear away is great for bigger details but for small things like this sometimes flat taping is just easier.
@vancouvercarpenter absolutely, and setting tear away bead would be really finicky and not worth it around small studs. I like the finish of flat taping because there are no gaps or shadows, just perfectly tight finish.
Amazing!
I'm thinking it would be beneficial to have both a left and right cut snip for this job, so you can come in from both side to cut the slot off. For people who don't know, the left/right hand name has nothing to do with which hand/direction you can cut with it, but which side the waste curl goes.
It would have been but my tool box was in the van.
@@vancouvercarpenterare oscillating blades also good for it?
Used FibaFuse for the first time this week. Aside from how thick it is, I love it!
Nice corner 💯👏
I have learned so much that I think I could do it myself! I have watched quite a lot of these vids. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
That looks amazing! What if they ask you to case them in next? 😀
I did this with the rafters in the entryway of my house. Then I wrapped them in alder and stained them to match my front door. I figured if it didn’t look good, I would just drywall over it like normal and no one would know about my dumb idea! Came out great though. People always comment on it.
That corner bead is reason enough to carry a nibbler tool. But great alternative if you don't have one!
pretty cool!
masterful
🙌 on top the game wit drywall and youtube still! 100💯
Very nice! I’ve been doing similar work in an early 1800s farmhouse. One thing though-I like to avoid getting mud and dust on the exposed framing. Beat up/aged is a good look, but in my opinion mud on them doesn’t feel the same.
I’m curious if you have a preferred approach for that? I’ve just been wrapping the exposed framing in plastic all the way up and down, and laying the mud right up to the plastic. Then, as you’ve done, I cut a clean line to remove the plastic at the end. If i get any exposed plastic at the seam that I don’t like, I can always put some trim up to cover the connection.
Beautifully done! Just curious as to why you wouldn't use a vinyl corner there to make the cutting around the studs much easier
Hey Ben! Thanks for so much informative content. I'm building out a home studio for voiceover. Basically a small room contained within my office. Following some advice from a friend, I plan on using Quietrock for the exterior of the mini-room and Green Glue acoustic caulking to pre-fill the seams. My questions are: Have you used either of these products before? Any advice on installation/application? And would you recommend mudding over the seams after applying the acoustic caulk? All the best! Thanks!
Damn son, that shit looks nice, i like it.
21:54 feels like a certified Bob Ross moment. 😌
I wouldn't do the vapor barrier on that house. Those cavities were engineered without a vapor barrier in mind. I don't know if code in Canada would let you do that though. Like you said it probably doesn't do anything because you only did it where you opened the wall. But reinsulating an old wall requires that you engineer it keeping mind things like what the exterior wall is doing in-regards to moisture. Putting insulatation in there may even be a bad idea, it looks like those beams have gotten wet and that's okay if they can dry. I hope if there was no insulation that they put up some air flow solution before the fiberglass insulation.
Great job. I see what looks like mud on the studs, how are you going to clean that off?
Great work as usual, Ben.
Just a thought... When you're notching the corner bead to fit around the studs: after you scored it and made the outer cuts, why not make a few relief cuts across it, like you would if you were chiseling it out? Smaller pieces would bend and break off easier, less stress on the corner bead.
Like I said, just a thought. You do excellent work, my friend.
It would be easier. Just didn’t think about it.
Very interesting video. But I’m trying to figure out the “why”. I’d hate to waste that space. And reframing would be tricky (and pricey).
This wouldn't be allowed in the UK for fire regulation reasons. Maybe there are exceptions, but generally studwork needs covering with plasterboard to prevent spread of fire. Interesting though
rip to that mud you dropped on the floor at 16:40 LOL
Proooo. I think I would have carved out a bit of the mud around the posts and filled it with caulking so it can expand and shrink with movement
You're amazing
I always wondered what the pros were doing in those exposed stuff scenario. because of wood movement I would have thought it needed some sort of special corners to wrap arround the wood and to have a sharp edge, but I guess all this is not required and we can just plaster on wood.
Can't be a much better architectural detail finisher than Ben. He's damn good at what he does.....I might be a tad better but he's damn good 😜🤪😜🤪
Love all your videos, I've learned a lot!! One question, fibafuse...where can I get it in the US, or what is it called here??
Outstanding job ... probably should have wrapped the studs in paper to avoid splatter. I would have left the tape on until the paint job was done too.
They are pretty rough. Nothing a wire brush can’t handle.
Not certain on the correct term, but front cutter pliers seem like a good tool for that cutout.
well done
I don't know Ben but maybe it's time to re-name the channel to Vancouver Carpenter & Drywaller. lol
"Vancouver Carpentry, Drywall, and Etc., Ltd." 😁
Looks great. Would you ever use a metal angle along the edge of beams? In Australia, the angle is called P10 and gives you a nice clean edge without the need for tape.
We have metal corner beads. I just prefer the tape on ones.
looks good from my house 🤪
when do you use J-channel for exposed edges like this, and when not? longer continuous edges, maybe? i'm dealing with this in an old job where there are a lot of wooden beams and drywall butts straight up to it. Also... do you ever mark your knives or put a texture on the handle so you know which way they are beveled so you don't have to look all the time? works well for me
could you do a tearaway strip around the studs?
