I´m just taping a drywall here in Sweden after watching your excellent instruction. My only problem is talking to the tape and mud in english intesad of swedish because they seem to understand you much better then me.
Hahaha, I have the same problem with my Volvo.

Thanks guys.
You made me laugh.
I needed it.
Soon we are all going to have to learn chinese.
This comment is perfect. 😆😆. mycket bra.
Thanks for not having splash screens and music, like so many UA-cam tutorials have. Just plain simple instruction, exactly as we need.
He also does short videos, which costs him ad revenue.
@Dean Sage go away scammer! Nobody likes you!
If the intro is more than 10 seconds I go to another vid, hate long intros, thank you VCC
@@mrbmp09 I love this guy though. Even his longer videos are only long because they’re so full of solid info and technique. Hate the short “3 fasters tappers knock out an entire apt building in 3 minute time lapse!!” Boo! I learned nothing :-) his time lapses are only when he’s going through a whole room after explaining what he’s doing and why.

I just did my 1st inside corner from watching your videos and it came out perfect, at least to my eye. Thanks for showing this lady how to fix my drywall.
Finally after watching 1.4 million videos, I started mudding and taping. And after being jedi-mind tricked into thinking I could come within a galaxy of these guys, I watched about 1.2 million videos over again to see what went wrong. This guy is now my favorite. Has reinspired me to think I can maybe get within two galaxies. Not sure where the h I'm at right now, but it's in the dozens of galaxies away. Who knew thin thin mud at the corners makes life less painful. I'm sure lots of video guys did....but this is the only guy who actually said it. He really is thinking about the first timer....who else tells you to leave the tape 1/4" away, and to set the outside corner first....and then why. Outstanding teacher, and many thanks.
Thanks a million for your clear and concise instructions without insane music and distraction! A real help for a 64 year old millwright who's drywall work has improved greatly thanks to you!
I watched several of your videos in January and did my own sheet rock, tape and mud in a bathroom which I must say, came out pretty good thanks to you. I am reviewing your videos again so I can tape and mud a new wall in the basement. You are a great teacher. Excellent explanations. Thank you!
I been a painter 20 yrs..over time I've had to learn about mudding an drywall,patching,things like that...being diverse helps to keep me employed more often..Thanks for your vids..they are really great,simple an no long intro,an thats appreciated. Thanks!
Sir, you have been an absolute help. My grandfathers bathroom had a mold issue and so it was gutted. Thankfully it's about 40 sq. ft room. Due to a NEED to save money, after the plumbers finished, I decided to tackle the drywall, etc. Felt in over my head pretty quickly. A handful of your videos really helped me get my feet underneath. The presentation and knowledge has been a BOON. Thanks for taking the time, great work!
I’ve been drywall finishing for 12 years now. I would say it’s definitely a skill of hand/wrist dexterity. I was just doing as a way to earn a living at the time, not knowing that it would end up changing my life.
I feel very blessed to have learned it. It has literally saved my life, and today I am extremely grateful for it.
Good on you man! Putting in the hours… learning a skill. I got fired for nefarious reasons from an office job and was so disgusted with the corporate life that I started as a helper on renos… learned drywall and a bunch of stuff over 5 years. It was very satisfying, but eventually dove back in office work for ten years. Now seriously thinking about going back in physical labor in my late fifties, mainly due to binge watching Vancouver Carpenter!
This young man works so hard at providing us the know how, and gives us the encouragement to tackle a project and save us so much money on our drywall project in the end. Let's not forget to give him a THUMBS UP after we view his techniques. It's not fair to watch the whole thing, garner all the info from him, and forget to give him a welcoming THUMBS UP. This gives him the impetus to put out more informative videos. We need more like this. A hearthy THUMBS UP from a guy in Michigan. Make more videos please, and thank you.
Agreed. I feel that his videos are the best there is, and his technique is incredible. Feeling the envy! 😁😁
Great comment. I absolutely agree. This has made me more conscious to give a thumbs up when I watch a video tutorial.
I totally agree Ben is an awesome Teacher BID THUMBS UP every time I miss the button SUPERLIKE ;-)
In addition to thumbs up leave him a comment
Ralph Magnus Agreed.
drywall inspection by my Hubby went well. He said it looked great! I finished the entire master bathroom today! (minus the shower waterproofing). OMG You really did teach the best! It is now 8pm but its done!!!!!
Hey bro you've been so helpful. I'm a painting contractor by trade, but got a little uncomfortable on a few jobs where I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing. I have been told by homeowners and contractors that I have been to have been doing it for a long time, but I just watched your videos and translated my brush into a knife with a different kind of paint. Thank you very much for your videos I extremely appreciate them. They're extremely informative and actually make me look like a professional that I'm not. ^.^ God bless you bro! Thank you again!
One of the simplest best explained videos I,ve seen showing this technique, great job, thanks!!!!!
your a legend for this. contractor of 8 years new to drywall. this is amazing tutorial. seriously thank you so much
Big fan of your skate channel. I'm a 30 year old maintenance tech in North Carolina and I reference your skate stuff at home as fuel for my motivation to still skate in my 30's working full time. During my working life I often reference your DIY tutorials for work orders I have less experience on like sheetrock. I love it! Keep it up man.
OK! You are seriously good!!! Not only at mudding, but also at explaining the big picture overview of the main technique plus a number of very tiny but hugely helpful "tips". BUT WAIT:... there's more! You're also good at being clear and concise in your video presentation and don't ramble and/or add extraneous and boring filler. You are an excellent communicator with a serious focus on the subject matter while being light and airy personally. I came here because I couldn't get the mud onto the ceiling without making a God-Awful mess and watched you do it effortlessly and beautifully. I usually never subscribe but I will with you because not only do you deserve it but your material was so excellent I feel I owe it to you as payback! I cannot thank you enough. Not merely for the video instruction but also for your classy and perfect presentation.
This was THE FIRST video that helped me improve the finish coat of mud on the inside joint: The difference with this video is that by putting on a finish coat on (only) one side at a time--and letting it dry (that is the important part), it (side one) was much more resistant to me inadvertently digging into it with the edge of my knife, when I put the finish coat on the other side. I ended up doing the corner faster because I did not have to repeatedly coat, sand, coat, sand to fill in the wavy corners.
Fantastic video and thanks for it. I followed your advice about thinning all purpose compound with a little water and it made my bathroom renovation SOOOO much easier. Too bad I didn't do it until about a third of the way through.. You're right. All purpose is way too thick for taping. Thanks for your channel.
edit- also, your video about prefilling was a life saver. Never would've thought about doing that. An extra step that saves time in the long run.
Absolutely amazing job of explaining the process. No one ever showed me how to do it and I have fumbled through this for years with varying results. Thanks for an awesome video.
Thanks for the videos you put out. I’ve been a DIY guy and have done several projects over the years. I have spent so much time on mudding and sanding. I wish I had had these videos when I started. But I’m sure I’ll do more work at some point and I will definitely be doing your techniques. You make it look so easy but I’m sure even doing as you show takes practice to get it right. Many many thanks to you for putting out these videos.
Omg! I’ve been doing it like 90% right the whole time and have been suffering with the last step. I would of never thought of coating only one side than waiting for it to dry and do the other side. This tip has made my life so much easier. I have been using a corner knife to get Both sides perfect.
Yeah you might not want coat your tape on one side right away if there's a gap and it's not setup you will wrinkle the tape into it best to let dry and pinwheel your angles if you have many
I just wanted to thank you for all of the information you share. It takes a lot of work to record, edit, and publish these videos. You’re sharing invaluable hard won knowledge and experience in a well produced, clear format and i want you to know how much you’re giving to us all. Thank you, sincerely.
Seconded
Thirded! LOL
I can't thank you enough for all of the informative videos. I would have never tried tackling my remodeling projects without this very extensive set of tutorials. All of the videos are perfect.
Finally a video that covers one of the more tricky parts of the job when working with drywall. Thanks man, much appreciated.
As a guy who did this(hand taping )for 17 years this lad does it exactly as I did 30 years ago. The only thing I would say is that it's a lot easier with a good "worked in" set of tools. Brand new trowels and filling knives are a pain.
Should’ve watched this before I did my corners today
Me too
I said the same thing

You sure make this look easy! I'm fixing bad cracks and tape that lifted off an inside corner, came back here for a refresher!
Just did two 23 foot off angle, wall to ceiling joints with this stuff. It was a bit of a chase to do it by myself, but they turned out much better than if I hadn't seen how you do it. They may be perfect afer getting the topping coats. Thanks a million for making the videos.
DUDE!!!!!! You're a smooth operator!!!!! That's beautiful work!!!
Great video, Ben! I'm about to give this a try.
Is it strange that I find watching drywall finishing to be satisfying and therapeutic? I have no idea why.
Thank you! I haven't taped in years and was frustrated with a bathroom reno I am doing, watching your video brought back a good deal of memory for technique! things are going better now. Great video. I wish I was as practiced as you though, you make it look too easy!
Awesome videos, I was having a terrible time with taping inside corner's, wasn't getting my mud thin enough, after watching several of his videos, I was able to to get it done the correct way. Awesome videos, keep them coming!
Oh man, I’ve watched your skating videos forever - imagine my surprise when I searched for tips on drywall corners and there you are, top of the list.

Just found your channel new sub. Was in concrete trade 12 years and home maintenance for family and friends always hated mudding plaster !!! I have no patience, your a good teacher . I appreciate your skill !!!
This old House needs to take tips from this guy. As a weekend warrior, it's programs like Home Again and people like this guy that help me to a half way decent job most of the time. Thank you for your time and wonderful speech pattern drywall dude.
Thanks for taking the time to create these videos. Giving this exact thing a go today and your videos are extremely helpful.
All I can say............Dude....You're GOOD!
Great instructions lead to great results I was nervous as hell to do this in the field for the first time but your instructions were perfect and I must say my coworkers were impressed with the work
I just want to say THANK YOU for showing the upclose shots when you are done with your passes. It's So Nice to actually SEE what it looks like.
You appear so calm... Not my personal experience with taping 😂 I could have cried. Round two, here we go
Guy could paint the Mona Lisa with a drywall knife. His skills are out of this world.
Your videos have been such a great help. I am in the metal world and do a ton of training myself. Your explanations are great and you're skills come through very clearly! Thank you!
You really are the best explainer of home improvement on UA-cam. Makes me feel confident to do it.
I REALLY REALLY hate taping corners. But after watching your video and learning your technique, I still hate taping but not as much. Thanks for your tips and tricks!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Aaahhh, coat 1 side of the corner, genius!!, I was always in a hurry and tried to do both. Always took 6 coats and 2 hours of sanding.
You can do both corners if you use a inside and outside corner knife. It's angled to fit both sides of the corner
Your videos are truly the best I've seen. You give great instructions, explain the whys, and are human. I actually burst out laughing and rewound when you dropped the end of the tape "because I don't care". Thanks for the help you provide.
Hey man I'm a carpenter from Indiana we sub our drywall on new builds but usually do it in house on remodels and I have stuggled with finishing drywall these videos are insanely helpful
I'm working on my house and this was great for me to see.....good job.
You’re brilliant!! After watching this I REALLY think that I can do it!!
My favorite diy instructional channel on UA-cam, no fluff, just substance
Love this content dude. As a 27 year professional Painter I'm always working on my tape and mud game. It's like COVID 19 to so.e painters but I always take it on because I can control the ultimate finish for the customer. Got a new sub! 😎🇺🇸🤘
You are the best dressed spackler I've ever seen.
Yous guys make it seem so easy. I just did my ceiling hallway. It’s hard
Thank you.I have been in the business for over 25 years> For me you are a go to for advice and real no bullshit video instruction. Good stuff!
Thanks, I actually did this a long time ago, grew up in construction doing everything, playing in sawdust when I was 4,😁 prototype machinist now, but I love your videos, I'm remodeling, insulating, putting widows in the whole back side of my house and was looking for "reminder" of how best to do this, I've watched a bunch of your videos, I've watched others on here too but like yours the most, you're a great teacher, keep up the great work!🍻
Thumbs up...you do good work. Keep providing knowledge to those who need it. Much respect.
I tried finishing with a corner tool. The buildup in the middle is truly annoying. Was wondering how to avoid it, but using just the mud knife seems to help. Also thank you for the tip on how thick the mud should be. No other DYI seems to mention it. I was using the mud straight from the bucket. Sweating up there while doing wall/ceiling joints. 😓
You can't really avoid the build up. It's annoying because its so thick it cracks as it shrinks.
Visionist try a TapeBuddy tool for your corners and flats. It applies just the right amount of compound to the tape so helps with the speed and mess of taping.
The corner trowel can tend to roll the tape around the corner. A lot if this is because of the amount of compound applied to the corner. Again, the TapeBuddy tool applies just the right amount of compound to the tape so you don't need to precoat the corner. It makes the tape lay flat and tight to the drywall. You should try one out. It works on all seams.
Press on the entire upper edge with your fingers to keep it flat, if you do it right you wont have a problem.
Corner tool makes for an awsome door stopper
I wasted money on a corner tool.
It is now my “frustrated throwing apparatus”.
Thank you for all your videos! I was able to corner bead and corner tape a soffit this week with your instruction. I'm sure it is ugly but I'm proud that I was able to do it myself!
Thanks so much for all of your content. I exclusively watch Vancouver Carpenter for every question I have about drywall, it has helped so incredibly much.
you make it seem so easy. I'm glad I found you on youtube....it makes me want to sheet my own house.
It’s actually not easy, takes a few years to get anywhere close to being professional at it
what do you do if the ceiling is finished and patterned or textured? (replacing wall drywall)?
Repairing my bedroom and I've never touched drywall before. This video was the best I found! Thank you.
Pretty solid advice over all and in a systematic way which is how you want to end up being when doing something like this. A good thing to note is how you went from the middle out and the benefit to that is so you're not pushing a lot of mud if you start from one end and go all the way to the other end which can sometimes tear your tape just enough to damage the job as well as just cause an over all pain in the tapping process in general.
I was an air traffic controller for 32 years. Nothing stresses me out so much as taping drywall.
Ya, because its physical labor......tech ops guy lol
I work in heart surgery. I feel the same way.
Sanding the job after the mudding sux much worse
I think that's funny! Most people feel the same way.... I guess there's a trick to handling mud, but it's not really that hard if you relax and become friends with it. I find it relaxing. If it's just the tape that frustrates you.... maybe try the sticky mesh tape. I think it's easier, and really it's a better product. It'll never pop off, and you put it on before mud... nice and neat.
That was a brilliant comment Sir!
Bro. He makes it look so easy. Mine was a complete disaster
I was literally just thinking the same damn thing lmao 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Well, if it makes it better... You are not alone!
🤣🤣🤣
Okay, so that "cheat" one side at a time works amazingly well. Amazing tip! You need to do a compilation of all the things you've said that no other drywaller ever mentioned. You've helped me out so much in just a few videos!
I'm a DIYer who always appreciates seeing a Master at work. Nice.
Thanks for the info! You do a great job explaining and demo'ing--I'm off to give it a whirl.
Thank you,i am become a pro at this stuff! Hubby does the sheet rock i do the plastering,we are all happy.😁
YariGlows215 now that’s love 😉
Your videos are absolutely outstanding. I'm doing a basement project for my daughter and your videos are helping me do the job much more professionally. Thanks you!
Trust me,my man been doing that for years, that's why he makes it look easy.I repair houses on weekends for extra cash and it's tough to run spackle like that evenly.Kudos to you bro.
Vancouver Ninja Jedi, excellent share ßen!
I should have watched this video before I started. My mud was to thick for my butt joint. Great video!
just corner roller and flusher to start with
SMITH of all TRADES good teaching. A TapeBuddy tool will make this process easier and faster.
Just finished my corners and NOW i watched your informative video, go figure. Probably need to look ahead before i am totally done on this project. Great vid, sir
Ben does the best at explaining all methods of drywall techniques
I really like the finish and the fact you dont used 3-4 steps to apply compond plus the good pro tip on laying the tape + scrape the bottom first because it most likely will have a hole r bubble than the top + con on 45 degee angle when appying the mud so it doesnt come off👍👍👍👍
How yu know gurl👍😍
Damnnn gurlllll
But you do need at least 3 coats of compound for a professional finish. So....
Grasias me ayudaste mucho haciendo mi primera casa Sheetrock and finishing mil grasias por el video
De nada mi amigo
Great video, I think folks really struggle with the finishing part of drywall work. Time and patience.
I am a 64 yr old frame carpenter and find myself doin more taping than nail banging these days. love the tips. the California patch is slick
Great tutorial! I've watched it a few times now. One question, though, on longer walls, can you cut the paper tape to smaller lengths, let's say 5-6 ft, or must it be in one piece in order to avoid possible movement or settlement cracks? I can't easily find the answer with general internet searches, either. If it's cut, do you overlap tape ends on a run or simply butt them? Thanks for the vids, and the sense of humor!
I use shorter pieces of tape. My thought - if my wall is going to move enough to break tape, then whether or not there are several joins won't stop it. I butt, and do not overlap, as overlapping doubles the thickness of the tape - might not seem like much but it's still a bump and unless I sand the paper off (which makes overlapping pointless), it would be noticeable to my eye and more work than needed. JMO.
Young man, I am 57 years old ... have been doing my own DIY projects for years, even drywall. Over the past year doing some major home repairs and you sir - "hands down" been my most valuable asset in nearly everything I've been doing. I do have question as I cannot seem to find the video again... (anyone else can please answer also) what is the name/brand of the "top coat" you recommend. Thank you for your knowledge and time!
We use blue lid/box which is called plus 3 for coating and for tapping all purpose green lid/box. All purpose (if used for coating) leaves alot of scratches when sanding it.
Finally, after years of struggling, you''ve made it so easy. Thank you.
Luckily I found your and another video that between the two answered the techniques questions that I have. Great work. I am very grateful.
5:04 drops his knife. This is typically the point at which I’m throwing mine out of frustration.
*I always thought he walked on water until he dropped the knife.* 😬
Excellent videos my friend. Keep it up!
My contractor just quit, having hung the drywall with large gaps between the panels. I know it may be folly, but I’m going to study up on how to tape and apply mud, and see if I can go slowly and methodically to acceptable finishes. As long as I don’t glop the mud on there, I think I can make progress. This tutorial is very helpful, thank you very much 😀
I tried this after watching your videos, and while your videos are very well done and very helpful... It became apparent very quickly just how good at it you are! I managed to do a good enough job. Thanks for the great videos!
You Tube University. Where you can learn just about anything 😎
Yes,but nothing like on the job experience! Vids like this are a HUGE help..
thanks! Always looking to improve my technique. I, too, "cheat the corners."
nice to see a finisher with a dirtier pan than me. I'm not a drywaller by trade but I do it on small patch jobs. I found that I like the results of using a 4-in knife to put mud in the corner (after tape), feather it, then switch to a 6-in knife to smooth it out. The 6 in knife has a short square edge and rides the adjacent wall cleaning the corner and the wider blade covers the feather edge better and doesn't leave a potential squeeze-out line.
I had a project I was going into uneducated. you saved my ass for sure thank you so much.
Good job from Sweden, painter too.
Thanks Blackwater:)
Du som svensk skulle väl aldrig gör detta?
Well done thanks
You got hands of gold with that knife/mud. Very skilled. Great job
Thanks for all your help Ben I’m confident I can fix my drywall now after watching a few of your videos👍👍👍
I always struggle with this. You did in 2 min what is takes me an hour to do...
TofuInc one hour 😱 this is very simple... imagine to put from the lift 15m from the ground and long wall 40 meters 😂
I learned one thing from this . let the pros handle it. I am now willing to pay your estimate!
I hung my rock myself and had someone finish it. Big savings and the guys who do it day in and day out do it better in less than half the time. I find it better to let them do it in order to free up my time to do something else
Thank you so much for sharing! I struggle with inside corners, but your explanation is so succinct I’m confident I can tackle these now. You have a new fan and follower in sunny Florida!
Thank you for not having music. I thought your video was great. I'm 55 years old and have never done drywall. I watched your video two or three times and I was able to have good results immediately. Thank you for the help I appreciate it
