Every time I watch one of your videos I am never disappointed by the skill, information and the banter! Brilliant work 👊🏻
Glad you like them! Cheers John!
I can make a curved drywall easy , unfortunately it’s when I’m trying to make a flat wall
Great comment. Cheers!
Truer words have never been spoken! 😂🤣
Lol!
I love Jeff's dad noises :)
Uughaa!
Excellent
Ex-framer here, I built plenty of curved walls in the late 90's. We cut the top and bottom plates from ¾" plywood, doubled up. Then wood or steel studs 12"o/c or 6" o/c if it was a tight radius.
Same here. I use plywood for my hulk heads as well.
Bulk*
Man, thanks for this comment. This will definately be how i attempt these in the future. I have only ever done a straight wall, but does a wall being curved negativly affect the load bearimg capacity of it (For a second story?)
It cracks me up every time I hear him lug drywall around. I make the same noises haha
I just like to hear him say “out”. They should have an entire UA-cam channel of Canadians saying “out”
It’s a bunch of unnecessary drama.
As per usual, this was another great informative video. Not only do you give your time to teach us, you actually make it look fun. I appreciate that & you!
I love how he does everything in real time vs how TV and other online shows do cut aways..
Many thanks for your generosity with your knowledge 🙏
Had I seen this a couple years back, I’d have put a curved wall in my office. Little did I know how much I’d be using it this year!
This channel has come such a long way!! I learned so much from watching your channel through the years. With that being said can you do a video on how to accomplish a high gloss/ glass like paint finish. Nobody on UA-cam explains DIY like you
Thanks for adding yet another thing to my "try" list! Haha! Cheers!
Any time! Cheers!
Wow, amazing job. I enjoyed watching from beginning to the very end.
I'm used to seeing people put cuts in the back of their moldings.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So stoked about this - have been waiting for something like that and... perfect timing!!!!
Cheers george!
Wow... didn't know this is possible. Great video!
Great video! Love the idea about curved wall in the theater room, that’s the next project in the spring. Will figure out where that can go.
Glad it was helpful!
Lol i was literally thinking about doing a curved wall the other day and here you are posting a video on it ....no lie when i was doing a hardwood flooring install years ago you were my first tutorial and it helped....nice work man 👍🏾 definitely subbing now
I was just talking about this today. And here is the video. Jeff stop reading my mind.
sorry for the intrusion. Cheers!
Your sound effects when your bringing drywall in!! Halarious! 🤣 haha cool video always wondered how they do these!
For our ranch house, we steamed oak trim and bent it around curved walls. On rounded corners, we back cut and steamed. A lot more work but was cheaper and looks amazing.
Oak trim compared to primed mdf I dont see the cheaper part, per linear foot? More work absolutely.
@@raymondsloan9174 I was referring to the $5/ft rubber 1/4 round he finished with.
Very interesting video. Thanks Jeff. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Bro thanks so much. I was designing a completely round house and I needed this video so i could estimate better. you rock bro
Glad I could help
I bought a condo with curved walls a few years ago. Always was curious about how they were made. This has certainly satisfied my curiosity, although our walls are _slanted_ on top of being curved, so I'm assuming they had to cut the edges at an angle to fit the geometry. The part about most problems being already solved when it comes to walls (and home improvement in general), is really true. This is something we observe in software engineering too. Outside of bleeding edge tech, there's rarely a problem that wasn't already solved. You can try and solve it by yourself to exercise your brain, but if you need it done quickly, it's always faster to just go look for a precedent.
I like that quarter round trick. With the quarter round at the bottom like that you eliminate any gap and air infiltration.
I came here to learn what goes in between walls/curved walls for a game I'm making. I completely forgot and was so invested in the video.. idk if my Dad habits are kicking in at the ripe age of 19 or if this guy is just really good at what he does. I think it's both
Mate, great video. You have that easy manner that assumes the audience has intelligence but not the knowledge and conveys a lot of knowledge and technique. Thanks learnt a lot!!!
Jeff man you’re an amazing dude and have inspired my brother and I to get into the trades and really stick with it. The knowledge you give is priceless in a world where it seems like no professional guys in trades seem to want to teach us younger guys so I thank you for that man. I know this might be a crazy question but if you were my age 25 in today’s world Would you pursue the trades at such a late age and which would you do and how would you get started learning assuming you know you would want to go out on your own one day? Your the best Jeff keep up the good work God bless.
Bro that's not a late age. You're 7 years out of high school. 40 years from retirement. Stick with it. Good bless
I like to see the finished project ..... you made quick work of that wall.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, so much!
Always learning something from you. Thanks
Dude. That was a great demo. Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it!
Your The Best Sir Absolutely Love Your Videos
I appreciate that!
You're awesome Jeff .
Cheers!
Great vid mate. Very informative and entertaining...👍
OMG...all the grunting lol...cool project! Thanks Jeff
Tip 1: Most trim is not going to stay with nails in the drywall only. You'd want nails into wood studs or screws into steel studs to keep it in place. Alternatively, install it with construction adhesive. Tip 2: To mark a perfect curve: Hammer a nail into the floor, attach a string and tie it to a pencil/marker at the desired length. Mark a partial circle on the floor.
i do this all the time and you made a perfect vid again about his..... always impressed
Wow, Jeff that is awesome

My knees are feeling sore just watching you aye!
Awesome video. Very informative. That laugh is killing me. lol.
Great information. Thank you! The one question I have is how do you mud the inevitable butt joints on the curve? Thanks again..
Incredible! Thanks for making this!
My pleasure!
Love the video. Thanks.
Just like Norm Abrams. 'Perfect every time.' He heeee. Thanks for what you do, man.
This is amazing, never knew this product is accessible to us
Great video
Omg rubber quarter round!!!! That's what o need to do around my staira base step !!
We used to steam bend real wood trim to go on the curved wall.
Its easier than you might think, but you need to get the curve in fast after steaming.
Awesome video, making my first circular wall. Thanks!!
Thanks home boi
Just listened to your live stream. Great show. I am residing home 1920 removeing asbestos tile,wood,and exterior covering. I am using zip board,taping, siding. Should I use 2 inch sheeting over zip. Trying to get as close to passive home. Thank you
No curve walls for me in my home, great video to learn how it’s done. 👍👍
So helpful Jeff.
Great demonstration 🥇
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video! The rubber quarter round was especially informative. Jeff, what would you suggest as a good method of anchoring the product if it is being installed on a concrete floor in a basement? Is there a special adhesive? As always, great job!
Great work
I make curved walls by making slices on the back of the 2x4 header/footer with a saw works great!
The 46 people who hit did not like this, come on, this is informative and funny (Dad Noises) at the same time.
Great info 👍👍👍
Thank you so interesting and you make it look simple!!
Lot easier and faster than steaming lumber, that's for sure.
...nobody steams the lumber to build a curved wall. Just saying.
@@Marzoochi Yeah, most of the lumber from my area is crooked enough that all walls are curved.
Thank you!
Awesome 💯👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Jeff! Were you using 1/4 FLEX drywall or the standard 1/4 inch drywall (I have seen standard 1/4 inch sold at Home Depot). If using flex, can you use standard 1/4 inch?
@@TheAxecutioner Thanks Bradyn. Built a curved wall out of 3/4 inch treated ply for top and bottom plates for a basement location recently and am about to purchase drywall (found flex 1/4 inch at a local drywall wholesaler) but if I can get away with standard 1/4 inch usg from Home Depot, that would be the preferred option from a distance and cost perspective. I found the flex 1/4 inch is about 2X the price of traditional 1/4 inch sold off the shelf at HD.
@@TheAxecutioner Awesome, thank you! I’ll give it a shot (this week I think)!
Hi Jeff how should I get rid of some mold on ceiling of bathroom, then guess repaint it and anything can help prevent and reduce mold in future ?
God damn I hate how addictive these videos are!! I never plan to throw up a curved wall, but I couldn't stop watching this DIY Porn!
Michelle, coming home : "Jeff! Why is there a wall in the middle of the room?! 🤔"
Nice DIY video! I got a curved wall in my bathroom, and the door is in that wall. There's a huge gap between the door trim at the top and the wall behind it. Any ways of fixing that?
Spray foam, drywall paper tape, mud and paint - at least that’s what it sounds like
Pierre-Marc Rioux
Scribe a curved cap for the head casing or a curved fill strip. -if I understand you correctly
@@4philipp Ah! Spray foam! I did not think about that, filling the hole...! Thank you!
caulking. Cheers!
Very well explained and informative. Do you stagger the joints in both direction for better overlay ?
@HomeRenoVisionDIY I have a question on venting
Ok so my guess bathroom tube need to be replace and when the tub came out their at the p trap was another AAV above the p trap. my question is do i have to have there because the new tub doesn't have enough room back there for it and I do remember you saying it need to be a certain height above
I'm intrigued
Wow Jeff, I totally understand the grunting and how puffed you were carrying the plaster sheeting.🥵
Once again a fabulous display video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Janet!
Jeff, how do I tape that top joint to the ceiling?
Hmm... i've never tried a curved joint, but how about this:
You know how the tape wrinkles if you would try to bend it into a curve because you are forcing the paper to fold?
Cut a line on the wrinkle (preferably the end that goes to the ceiling). That way, you are not forcing the paper- but rather overlapping one end of the cut over the other.
This way, you can run the tape neatly along the wall part of the joint and then the ceiling part will only have a few cuts along the curve.
I would imagine it would work better with mesh tape.
I don't know if I'm explaining this right, though.
@@TheAxecutioner ah, much better explanation than mine.
@@TheAxecutioner good explanation, all the same, Bradyn.
If it were me, Id back fill the voids and flat tape it. Putting painters tape on the ceiling.
what bradyn said. Cheers!
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Jeff. Great video and a few handy tricks to build a curved wall. I'm currently transforming a disused cylindrical concrete water tank into a woodfired sauna lined with red cedar panelling. Would you have any thoughts on how to do it.
At 8:02, you said there is a lot of information to cover, but I didn't hear what type of drywall you used.
Hi Jeff, Great video! Where can I purchase this kind of tracks in Ottawa? Thanks, J
What do they call the bendable stuff you used for the base and top plate?
HI Jeff, we have a circular room in our home and haven't been abel to find a way to put sconces on the walls. Any ideas for us? Thanks
On another video you had about using steel in a basement you indicated to use treated 2x4 under the steel track in case of water intrusion. I'd like to do a curved wall with steel in our basement.
Obviously a straight 2x4 will not work under the curved part of the wall. Any recommendations on how to handle this? Thanks.
Attica! Stick tuned!
Whoa!!! Now I think I want a curved wall in my bathroom!!!
very nice feature. if you have the space!
Alternative; a few shots of vodka. Make curved walls every time.
russia style :)
Crown & Coke! Crown & Coke! Crown & Coke! 😁
so no belt while working? and windex? didja think to pour it out and use water?
jeff, about painting, what do you think on the wagner control pro series paint sprayers? or similar to wagner?
I've seen where people will make several shallow cuts in the drywall to bend it, thought that was cool
Won't that just leave a weak point in your drywall? The paper is the thing that is keeping everything together, so it's not good to cut a line across it, I would imagine.
Thank you, I am using fine thread screws, but it does not pull the screw in because the neck of the screws has no threads. I do not like to use two 1/4 drywall but do you think that is the only option that I have?
Yes!
Hey thanks again!!
No worries!
who knew Jeff was a method actor as well! lol haha
What do I ask for when looking for the curve track
I get that you have to use the metal top and bottom plates but I hate metal studs the only good feature they have is they're light if you have to transport them high up but I would still use wood studs for many reasons.
Steel is perfectly straight. Wood is not
Like 👍 all your videos
We’re those self tapping screws? I’ve had trouble with those screws on light gauge framing.
He mentioned his choice of screw for the metal framing in his metal framing video.
I have used a 1/4 inch drywall for a curved ceiling but, I can not sink the 1-inch Drywall screws into the drywall. I am using metal studs. What should I do or do you recommend any screws for 1/4 inch drywall? The head of the screws are out of the dry wall.
Thank you
check to make sure you are using fine thread screws and not the course thread version.
So should you do the floor before you put up the drywall?
On the subject of the screws, what brand are you using? Also wondering what type of bits for Phillips, Torx, etc.. you find to be the longest lasting, etc.. ? Inquiring minds want to know 🙃
When you have a larger curved wall that's too large for one continuous horizontal piece, how do you float the vertical seams? We're on a job right now with a large spiral staircase and I've had to do some patching and the vertical seams are the worst
Hi Jeff, where to buy the curved track, steel studs, 1/4in drywall, baseboards, rubber trim in Durham Ontario? Can I paint the rubber trim?
yes paintable. google custom trim shop and commercial drywall suppliers
Awe man. Why didn't you tell me this 12 years ago. It would have saved me hours and hours. I built my own house with a basement and upper story curved staircase. I built a curved wall along one side of it. You dont want to know how I did it, but in the end it came out perfect. But oh the hours of work. 😁
How are you nailing trim on the bottom straight into that metal track?🤨
