These sounds are some of my oldest memories. My father had me on job sites at all phases of construction from about 4yo on. For me, now, doing drywall work is very cathartic.
Love this! I learned to love doing drywall and this reminds me why. There is nothing better than a skim coat to blend old and new drywall. It makes old drywall look new again.
i was an electrician for many years and i found weirdly at certain points during the day i would be in some sort of trance . id be up on the lift working on pipes and id slowly just start kneeling down and my spine felt like it was buzzing, It took me a while to figure out that it was the drywall finishers like you who were causing it and its the sound of the scraping against the pan and the smoothing the mud out that were the triggers for me .I had no idea what asmr was at that point but i sure do now and it is deeply powerful if you find the right trigger for you
I found it very relaxing. Not entirely ASMR, but it has that focused, intentional pace to it. It was also super great to just get a visual guide, I know the more I see the more I learn, even if it's just by forcing myself to really -look- for things you're previous explained. Thanks for posting!
Im not a big ASMR person, but I did enjoy just sitting back and watching the drywalling process with all the sights and sounds that come with it. I think you should put up a video like this every once in a while.
not really an asmr guy. but the way the clip was shot + listening to the actual sounds & being able to observe the tehnique close up was pretty awesome.
I wish I'd seen this before retiring from a property management job of 8 years. Now I know why my drywall patches were lousy. Enjoyed seeing the working video; nice departure from the others (which also are helpful). No flash, music, or gimmics/sponsors etc. Truely Canadian. Thanks.
the crinkling noise made when you spread the mud with the roller is the most satisfying, could listen to that all day... well until I fall asleep at least lol Thanks!
been watching/listening to various asmr's for nearly a decade and the drywall ones are rare for some reason. When I saw you made this video I knew it would be a good one and yes it was remarkably relaxing. One thing (and I know it is not the funnest part) but the sanding aspect is a huge one i.e. really good; also for masonry a trowel over wet cement is awesome too. thanks and happy 500k in 2023 ;)
My father has done drywall work for 17 yrs I haven’t seen him in a couple months .. but when I listen to your video it feels like i right along side him on a school summer 💯💯💯💰 well done thank you
almost impossible to believe that back wall under the sky light could look so smooooooth ( !) especially considering how it's looked through all the videos
I did enjoy this very much. As I watched I was “hearing” in my head the coaching from past videos trying to ingrain it so I can get better. Thanks again for teaching and showing how to do it as well as how it should look.
I originally subbed to this channel to learn how to fix stuff around my house. However, there was always something calming about watching Ben work. I’d happily watch this kind of thing all day 👍
I could watch you do an entire project this way. I do enjoy hearing your thought process and you why/how you do certain things, but I found this kind of video thoroughly relaxing. Would be all for another like it.
During our reno my son thought I was insane when I told him I found this a strangely meditative process. The scraping of the knife, smoothing it all out ... everything about it. Maybe the feeling of being close to the end contributes, too.
I've been binge watching VC's videos, and I thought, "I wonder if anyone's ever done drywall asmr?" I should have known the first result would be the man himself. 🤣
Thank you for clarifying why and what was going on with that roller. I had to back the video up and show my husband who spent many years in the builder and handyman field to ask him if he'd ever seen that before and he hadn't either. At first I thought maybe you were going for a super unique way of texturing the wall. 😂 But the air explanation makes sense.
Using the roller is similar to how I texture ceilings, except a use a concrete texturing/ wallpaper brush to slather on a layer, then follow up with a round texture brush to swirl the texture into it. Gives an amazing result
I’m not into asmr but this was strangely satisfying I freaking loved it and it really help me process everything plus in my head I had the commentary going “feather that edge”!!! Thankyou so much really wished I had discovers your channel 6 years ago when I fracked up a drywall job I did in my bedroom which I then hid behind a giant bed frame! lol
This is a very good video, detail and technique are excellent, you work a little different when not trying to entertain and teach verbally. Thank you very much, encourage this every now and again, am sure your followers will love it !
Can I coating drywall if the wall is painted? I learned how to do drywall repair watching your videos. Just want to say thank you so much for all the videos that you do. I do have another question for you can I prime and paint on top of the coating drywall? Thank you again for all you do. I am just a beginner and still learning myself.
I use this when mudding and fool myself into thinking I'm doing a good job. Welp. Gotta scrape that chunk off I left in the corner where the baseboard is gonna go, gotta run.
This was a nice video to play in the background for ambient noise. Not watching this for relaxation or anything, but just to have some non distracting noise going on while I do some boring work.
I’ve been working on fixing and skimming my townhouse walls so I can paint. Since finding your videos, I’ve gotten so much better at everything drywall related! Thank you! I definitely a DIYer and slow (and short - 5’ 1 1/2” definitely makes it tricky!) so I’m only able to do sections at a time. Out of curiosity - do you clean the roller you use for rolling the mud on the wall after sessions? Or if you just wrap it, will it keep from getting dried out and crusty? I’ve been cleaning the rollers each time, but didn’t know if there was a better way.
Go buy some press and seal. It's a glad product most big stores gave it but I wrap rollers and brushes with that and can get 30 days without cleaning my roller. That's with paint so mud should be about the same. Though generally i only do this for the life of a job so a week or two but works great for me.
Tank’s Ben for this video. I learn a lot just looking at the way you work! I did watch most of your videos and my skill improve a lot, by using your technique. Keep doing vidoes. Tank’s. Sorry for my english writing it is not my first language.
I have a bucket dolly I roll my bucket of skim mud around on...very convenient...I have a set of automatic tools but I work by myself now and prefer doing everything by hand
ASMR aspect is great. And for absorbing technique from watching over and over, even better. It"s how a lot of us learn. Loved the sounds. Even the steel on steel which I thought would be jarring at first ended up teaching the rhythm. A quiet voiceover on key learning points would be ok (the Dashner furniture restoration guy's volume and calm style that doesn't mess with the ASMR works for me). Like others said, occasional closeups of key things to see and how it should look could be good. Been watching all your videos as I get ready to hang and finish a 1300 SF house. Wouldn't have even thought to do it myself without your videos. Thank you!
2 things - the sound of mud being spread, if it is a dry mix, has a slight squishing sound. Close up on the visual and close up on the sound for this one. And do it slowly. Second thing, uise the 24" (widest you have). Do the same as today. Roll on a thin layer that looks super bumpy, Then do a wide - one pass - smooth. So take chaos and turn it into order in a single pass. Both of these would need to be done purposefully. So for the first one, it would need to be a prepared set p specifically for capturing the sound. Second one, you could - over the course of a couple weeks - pick the top 10 - 15 times you did a wide one pass smooth. Them assemble those in a seperate video. Outside of editing the video - which I know takes a lot of time - there would be no need to do anything different - set up wise. Mike out!
This was awesome. I always enjoy watching videos of people mudding. A suggestion that of course you don't have to try if you don't want to but what if you edited the cleaning of your blades out and just had the troweling on the wall?
I liked the sound the mud made when you rolled it on. Kinda tickled in my body. Otherwise I don't actually watch asmr videos but this was just a pretty relaxing video
The ASMR was nice because it helped me understand how slow or fast it usually takes to skim a wall. It looks like you may have watered down the joint compound when rolling it on???
You could post 4 hours of this a day. Deeply relaxing.
Need to see if he has a playlist of only taping knife work.
It's like porn for handymen!
These sounds are some of my oldest memories.
My father had me on job sites at all phases of construction from about 4yo on.
For me, now, doing drywall work is very cathartic.
I was saying 'feather that edge' in my head. Great idea for a video.
This dude's been pumping out the videos like crazy. Good work my man
Flattening the mud is the most satisfying part. Would love a really close-in, shallow angle, slow-mo shots of this.
Love this! I learned to love doing drywall and this reminds me why. There is nothing better than a skim coat to blend old and new drywall. It makes old drywall look new again.
i was an electrician for many years and i found weirdly at certain points during the day i would be in some sort of trance . id be up on the lift working on pipes and id slowly just start kneeling down and my spine felt like it was buzzing, It took me a while to figure out that it was the drywall finishers like you who were causing it and its the sound of the scraping against the pan and the smoothing the mud out that were the triggers for me .I had no idea what asmr was at that point but i sure do now and it is deeply powerful if you find the right trigger for you

Whiping the trowel onto the hawk every time "cling clong" & "cling clong cling" ... Fantastic...!!!
I am NOT into ASMR, but it was nice having my girlfriend walk in, watch for 3 mins, shake her head, and leave.
I wish I'd seen this before retiring from a property management job of 8 years. Now I know why my drywall patches were lousy. Enjoyed seeing the working video; nice departure from the others (which also are helpful). No flash, music, or gimmics/sponsors etc. Truely Canadian. Thanks.
Never thought I'd find a drywall video taking a stab at ASMR
the crinkling noise made when you spread the mud with the roller is the most satisfying, could listen to that all day... well until I fall asleep at least lol Thanks!
I liked the sounds and just listening to the scraping of the trowel and the roller brush. Its soothing

Shut up, you actually did it! Love it!!!!
This is better than those fireplace videos!
My father has done drywall work for 17 yrs I haven’t seen him in a couple months .. but when I listen to your video it feels like i right along side him on a school summer 💯💯💯💰 well done thank you
It was nice to see someone working at speed and how some the techniques you have shared can be applied.
So satisfying watching and hearing scraping off mud
almost impossible to believe that back wall under the sky light could look so smooooooth ( !) especially considering how it's looked through all the videos
Ben, now you need to put up "shorts" and Tiktoks. This kind of stuff is wildly popular
That was really good just to see your technique without you being distracted. Great flow
I did enjoy this very much. As I watched I was “hearing” in my head the coaching from past videos trying to ingrain it so I can get better. Thanks again for teaching and showing how to do it as well as how it should look.
Now.... this is more like it.....also whatever happened to the skimming blades?
I originally subbed to this channel to learn how to fix stuff around my house. However, there was always something calming about watching Ben work. I’d happily watch this kind of thing all day 👍
Thank You for your Videos!! It is Thanksgiving here in the States!! We are so Thankful for all your videos! Keep up the good work!!
I could watch you do an entire project this way. I do enjoy hearing your thought process and you why/how you do certain things, but I found this kind of video thoroughly relaxing. Would be all for another like it.
Good skills with your tools nice work
he knows 😁💓
I could strangely hear your voice saying feather that edge even tough you said nothing. I guess I am ready master.
During our reno my son thought I was insane when I told him I found this a strangely meditative process. The scraping of the knife, smoothing it all out ... everything about it. Maybe the feeling of being close to the end contributes, too.
I've been binge watching VC's videos, and I thought, "I wonder if anyone's ever done drywall asmr?" I should have known the first result would be the man himself. 🤣
Still love the paint roller application. Still have to try it for myself, must find a project wall soon.. :-)
The sound of that first pull of mud with the small popping and crackling as the air is pushed out. OooooooooooooooOooo
I like the regular content describing the work, but this was cool to watch and listen.
"Bob Ross of plastering" your skills is surely an art form, an innate talent.
exceptional
Thank you for clarifying why and what was going on with that roller. I had to back the video up and show my husband who spent many years in the builder and handyman field to ask him if he'd ever seen that before and he hadn't either. At first I thought maybe you were going for a super unique way of texturing the wall. 😂 But the air explanation makes sense.
It was good to see the flow, since watching your vids, I was able to anticipate what you were going to do :) Thanks!
I love this
Using the roller is similar to how I texture ceilings, except a use a concrete texturing/ wallpaper brush to slather on a layer, then follow up with a round texture brush to swirl the texture into it. Gives an amazing result
0:53 Bro, I could totally feel the smoothness coursing down the wall.
I have a Nela-Flex skimming trowel with rounded corners, works really well for skimming walls in the way you are doing these....
Brand new purdy white dove for putting mud on the wall eh? That's right up there with using the good towels for wiping paint off your hands.
I AM LEARNING FROM THE BEST. YOU ARE MY HOW TO GUIDE...DOING IT RIGHT. EVERYTHING YOU TEACH IS SO HELPFUL....
Forgot to mention, very satisfying video. Good instructor.
It looks like a bit of a Zen experience.
See? Now I have to get a drywall float. I have another 50 square feet to skim coat on my project.
Been learning a lot from your videos. Thanks Ben. You should do more of this kind of video. I play it while working.
Action speaks louder than words....🤪
Your videos are the best. I love taping and finishing,and have learned so much. Wish i could skim as nice as you.
On the thumbnail it looked like you're repairing a bath;-)
There are three things one can watch forever: fire burning, water falling and friend working
I wish I could float like that man
Perfect relaxation for post Thanksgiving feast while sipping some Woodford Reserve.
Why roll the plaster on top of an existing wall that looks allright? Id like to know please! Cheers
I’m not into asmr but this was strangely satisfying I freaking loved it and it really help me process everything plus in my head I had the commentary going “feather that edge”!!! Thankyou so much really wished I had discovers your channel 6 years ago when I fracked up a drywall job I did in my bedroom which I then hid behind a giant bed frame! lol

It was fun watching you do your craft. We can learn alot from just watching.
I have seen many of your videos and sometimes I think " eh, he's ok" but you are NICE with drywall work!
This was a nice video to play in the background for ambient noise. Not watching this for relaxation or anything, but just to have some non distracting noise going on while I do some boring work.
I think I heard Zamfir and now you’ve reached level 6 drywall

@@timort2260 Thank you! I will give that a try.
Yep keep doing it with the sound and the ceilings preferably 😎👍🏿
Great! I just sat there with my eyes closed……..very relaxing
Yes to everything you asked at the end. Could put this on as background noise to fall asleep. Lol. Great video.
Great!!!
Making it look easy man. Good stuff
Tank’s Ben for this video. I learn a lot just looking at the way you work! I did watch most of your videos and my skill improve a lot, by using your technique. Keep doing vidoes. Tank’s. Sorry for my english writing it is not my first language.
Darn it Ben!!!
You always remind me why I like taping some much!😁
ERIC!!!!! Hi :)
Oddly satisfying lol. I watched 5he whole thing.
I have a bucket dolly I roll my bucket of skim mud around on...very convenient...I have a set of automatic tools but I work by myself now and prefer doing everything by hand
Great video

The sound mud roller makes is better than asmr tubers
Awesome!
Looks like a lot of back breaking work.
You have a good hand with those blades, reminds me of when I did work in New York City
I...LOVE...DOING...DRYWALL!!! Yea, the spreading of the mud is really cool...
Ive got a few all stainless knives that make a schinggg sound when you scrape em! Yep, I'm always schinging em just to make the sound!
2 things - the sound of mud being spread, if it is a dry mix, has a slight squishing sound. Close up on the visual and close up on the sound for this one. And do it slowly.

Mike out!
Awesome 🤩
Great videos I’m learning lots - is there one on a bathroom drywall or waterproof green board ? Thanks
just gorgeous - Vancouver Carpenter is worlds more tidy than the dry wall company that did our addition 10 years ago ---- !
It must be ASMR, I fell asleep halfway thru it.
been in your shoes many times. you did good!
This was awesome. I always enjoy watching videos of people mudding. A suggestion that of course you don't have to try if you don't want to but what if you edited the cleaning of your blades out and just had the troweling on the wall?
Totally relaxing. Thanks for sharing! More of this, plz!
Great job…learned lots
I liked the sound the mud made when you rolled it on. Kinda tickled in my body.
Otherwise I don't actually watch asmr videos but this was just a pretty relaxing video
The ASMR was nice because it helped me understand how slow or fast it usually takes to skim a wall. It looks like you may have watered down the joint compound when rolling it on???
You got some insane plastering chops mate👌😉
oh man you are getting better.
The way you handle a trowel you should be plastering instead of drywalling.
Nice work , happy Thanksgiving from Wisconsin.
Do a video on hand or trowel texture. Great videos!
Sorry bout your voice and throat, but wow, brought out the artist in you. Thanks.
