- You can make some FLAT WALLS with these things. Here is another use for a 20" trowel.

20" trowel:
Carbon Steel amzn.to/3lr0QE2 (will rust if you leave mud on it but it's still good)
If Crocodile Dundee did drywall work: “That’s not a trowel!” (Pulls out the 20 inch trowel) “There, that’s a trowel!”
I love my 20inch trowel. I use mine all the time for bad butt joints or for skim coating bad ceilings. One of my best tools for leaving a good finish without sanding too much!
Back when I did a few years with a commercial HVAC company with no uniform, I wore those same sneakers. They may not have steel toes, but they are comfy as hell.
Edit: Steel toes for that work are definitely preferred and I'm aware that it wasn't the smartest choice. I do still have all my toes, so my ability to count to 20 was not affected.
I can (still) count to 21.
I can count to 1. Its a big one
new balance are great shoes, i'm a heavy guy, and they are a quality shoe for the price besides spending money on reebox or nike. I'm not going to support Nike anymore
I’m glad you’re still uploading videos I’ve been doing remodeling for about 10 years now,not much but I’ve learned things thanks to ur channel thanks
I've learned a lot from watching your videos! Recently I had a similar issue, but I ended up taping my level (same length as the one you have there) and used it to smooth a section where a wall was removed. Worked like a charm, thanks for your videos!
Ben, I was watching you start this and I'm thinking "if he takes that from floor to ceiling, his shoulder is gonna fall off". Only need to make the finish carpenter (you?) happy at the floor line. Rest can be done with the 14". Shoulder says "Thank you"😀
You make this stuff look so easy...Thanks for sharing!
@Vancouver Carpenter. Thank you Ben for showing us how to do a job right. Lots of people would've just left that void for the carpenter to take care of with some caulk. But if the homeowner wanted stained baseboards, that gap will really show up even with caulk.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Ben!!! i just recently started watching your videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIPS AND TRICKS!!!! I really appreciate them. i am no where near as good as you! but your vodeos have helped so much! thank you very much sir! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the tips. Youre the best on UA-cam for paint tips
great vid. Will help in the future when I run across this issue. thanks!!!
I use 20" trowels for concrete finishing for first couple trowel passes while concrete still pretty soft. When hard switch to smaller trowels. Also use the 20" for microcement topping base coats for floors and walls. Also lime plaster on large walls. Can cover twice the sq ft over guys with their little trowels and also will produce a flatter base, then switch over to smaller for detail work.
A 20" trowel is a great tool in the hands of a pro.
in the UK they use them for flattening off plaster after they lay it on with a 13/14" trowel
I watch you skating videos, so cool to see that you have more than two channels!
You’re very handy with the trowel mate. Nice job. 🦘🇦🇺
Thanks I learned a lot of things from this channel
Great stuff and thanks for all the advice. As a New York contractor we do all the work front to back. Just finished a 85 board job and it looks great. I've watched and re-watched many of your videos. Thanks madman. P.S If I ever put together a Talking Heads documentary, ya got the of for David Byrne.
20" are often used for stucco as it prevents pushing too much out given lower psi. But yeah super handy on warped drywall too
Yep, I use that kind of trowel.. Is very very good
That's it, I'm throwing in the trowel😁
Nice.
I only use them on stucco and drywall blades on drywall jobs . But nice utilization of tools I always see from you . Nice work you do !
I also do drywall finishing plastering and stucco each is its own dicipline however related.For 30 years a 20" trowel applies for all
Good stuff
Really good video Ben! Because you’ve got me hooked on Columbia tools I’ve picked up the 10, 18 & 24” tomahawks which work great for evening out my work. Sounds like you’ve got a bit of a cold....take care!
This video is from April 😂.
Vancouver Carpenter ...RONA!
That 18 inch tomohawk is dope!
Jeff C Agreed, haven’t yet used the 10” & 24” but looking forward to the opportunity
Hi Ben! Nice video I’ve learn a lot by watching your videos, I do a lot of repairs and small drywall jobs, before I used to work with Knives and hawk, now I’m getting better with the trowel, but my question is what do you think about skimming blades?
I use pan and knives but it's always interesting content. 🤙 God Bless ✝️
Drywaller's Win. 18" is my biggest Roller
What about tile setters? 48" tile and the tools to cut it.
Thanks for your videos, always can learn something useful.
Speaking of odd-sized trowels - could you please make a video about to fill / smoothen the gap between the outer part of the door frame and the nearest inside wall corner? They usually vary from 3 cm to over 20 cm, and never have a standard size. How would you make a vertical pass in this gap? Would you make a custom "knife" from some piece of plastic or use smaller knifes (never works for me though) or some other tricks?
Dope vid couver. Haha could you imagine useing that 20 to fill with everyday. good by wrist
Can you do a video on covering wood paneling with drywall mud please?
Canadians that use imperial measurements make me smile.
Inch by inch, the world is going metric.
How do you keep your Trowels from rusting? My Marshalltown 12" trowel flash rusts even after drying it by hand? Do you use stainless?
I do a lot of baseboards. I see this all the time exactly where he pointed it out. If I do some drywall at corners I always get rid of that "swoop" in the wall. drives me nuts.
You bad ass bro
Love the videos quick question were is that trowel from ?
Ryan Armstrong Appreciate that is was more of wich brand the trowel is but .....
honestly, how do you look so young. aside form that, thanks for making a video about bigger trowels. They might come in handy someday!
He does lots of kickflips.
Dude your videos are so helpful, thank you so much! Have you by any chance come across DeWalt's new line of trowels? Instead of traditional ones like in this video you grip it as if it were a book (I know it sounds awkward but I am tempted) ... Check it out and do a review if you can!
you brought a 4' screed, your level ;)
I have a bit of a unique question and situation. I'm going to be buying a manufactured home and I have those ugly raised strips between the panels that I would like to remove. The problem being the panels are not tapered like sheetrock on the edges for tape.
Any suggestion for just filling the voids the strips leave when I remove them?
Non shrinking, flexible crack filler.
If you but up sheetrock end to end, you don't have tapered edges either, just have to feather out your mud.
I guess I've never had a situation where I had to butt up two pieces of sheetrock into end except for on a ceiling.
@@JosephOfBorg you never did a wall that was more then 8 feet long?
@@bertveldhuizen8699 yes I have but I put the panels up vertically so I have seams at the floor and the ceiling and the bevels on the sides
Nice dude. I flare out some butt joints like 6 ft
Do you prefer the hawk or a mud pan? I've seen you use both.
go through his older videos, he did a video specifically to talk about this
Ben uses both techniques, depending on the situation and also sometimes if he's trying to show you that you can use the "opposite" technique and get good results for the typical diyer. He, as well as most drywall guys, uses a pan with a knife and uses a hawk when he's using a trowel. He used a hawk in this application cause his pan is only 14" and for such a small situation it wouldn't even be worthwhile to get a larger pan dirty.
I read is as 22-inch towel and thought you where going to mud a wall with it lol
That would make a nice stippled surface...
That would make him a plasterer
Do a late fs shuv down some steps.
Can you by those 20 in Van?
I wonder i could that to level my yard?🤔
Funny, they actually work GREAT for contouring masonry sand on hardscape installs.
Do you ever use a Pool Trowel for Drywall? Seen you use one for Plaster, but not sure if I have seen you use one for Drywall...
I haven't tried it yet..
Do you think you will be able to do this work when you're 60 years old?
Drywall Doctor on youtube is 60+ and crusing it daily.
Just use the 4ft level as a screed. Easy!
If you put a 1/4 of mud on the wall it’s going to shrink and crack.
I use a 16 inch for every coat
Building arm strength
Destroying shoulders and wrists...
so easy......when you do it.
Its good for taking popcorn ceiling off
