32" Columbia Tomahawk

- Here I am first coating double stand up butt joints. I load up the wall fairly evenly to my desired width using a trowel and then I finish it off with the Tomahawk smoothing blade. It makes these kind of joints very easy to lay on a nice coat.

I’m a handyman and love my 10, 18 & 24” tomahawks....I had been warned to stay away from the 32 as it was too unwieldy for one guy, but you made it look so easy, I need to reconsider. Always really enjoy your videos! Thank you!
I bought a 32" for really bad butts and decided to stay away from the 48"". I now want a 48". LOL It's a little intimidating but very handy. Figuring out how much mud to put on the wall in the first place is the hardest part.
@@Mudslingr so you're saying if I want to move up from my 24, I should just jump to the 48? 🙂
@@jerseyjim9092 What I'm saying is if you need a 32" or a 48" for anything in particular it is a very good thing to have to make your drywall life a little easier. The 24" and my 18" are my most used Tomahawks.
@@Mudslingr yeah, its nice to have a big assortment but I'm trying to make a budget friendly upgrade from my 24. I think I'll split the difference and go with a 40 which should take cover any situation I'll run across. Thanks.
I feel the 24 is perfect . I’ve heard the 48 is a little more flimsy but I couldn’t personally tell you . I use it every now and then ( the 24”) but rarely. I just feel it’s such a slow process . Also had issues with it leaving the ceiling wavy . And I’m one who like the work flat , no eye tricking with a hump that flows with the wall . We rolled the mud on consistent , evenly , and it looked like glass when we were done . I was beyond happy and thought I had found the greatest thing . Came back the next day and the surface was so dang wavey I have not used it since . It’s alright I guess if their is not a lot of natural light and the ceiling is 8ft but these were offices full of
Windows in every direction . Has anyone else had issues with it not leaving the work flat?
One coat wonder! 😁 I've got a giant Currie trowel that I can leave one ripple off to the side of a wide but like that. But that giant Columbia wiper is pretty slick! Going shopping...
But I usually use buttboards when I can.
I don't get the luxury of Buttboards often so the correct sized smoothing blade is the next best thing. A must have in my opinion.
Thanks again I'm trying those out myself help seeing a veteran Go at it . great vid slingr rule's
@@gordongoodkey4118 Thanks Gordie !
nice!
Nice work buddy!
Thank you Phil.
You Sir are incredible!!
That's debatable ! Lol . But the Tomahawk is absolutely incredible for this application.
Well done 👍
Thank you.
great video,i missed it
Thank you and I hoped it helped.
@@Mudslingr completely, it is while looking at you that I ended up buying all my equipment because I worked more than ten years only by hand. Thanks again;)
Nicely done. I'm trying to figure out a way to put a lanyard on mine. I guess I just have butterfingers and these things are expensive. The replacement blades cost most as much as the whole tool.
Yes they are pricey and you really don't want to drop them. If you figure out a way to make a lanyard without hanging yourself please let me know

Neat work !
A question please : which trowel size you recommend to do a butt joints ?
Regards
I use a Marshalltown 11” x 4-1/2” flat trowel only for everything involving a trowel. My butts are usually no more than 24”- 28” wide. Some mudders like to make 3’- 4’ butts with a 16” or 18” trowel. I never understood that and have never in my career had a butt over 32”. Double butts are a different story. In the end it all comes down to preference. Some mudders like longer trowels. Nothing wrong with that. It’s easier using a smoothing blade on bad butts.
@@Mudslingr
Sir, thank you very much for your speedy and a very informative response !
We keep watching your videos and learning from you.. professor Slingr
God bless and reward you
I hate how you make it look so easy., I normally have much more Mud on the floor with the hawk
Practice, practice and more practice. Don't get discouraged.
@@Mudslingr
Yeah, true., I'll get there eventually
Lol I have the same problem doing but joints above my head on Friday . They turned out but I could have smoothed the floor when I was done and ya lots on me as well.
warmly your next video friend
man you need whole day for one room
definitely not for piece work
Normally you don't have two butts side by side either. As you saw in the video it took me about 4 1/2 minutes to put on a nice first coat. The next two coats took about 2 minutes each. So about 8 1/2 - 9 minutes to make this double butt look good. Worth the outcome. This was the only one.
