I have been following this guy since 2020 and he was also kind enough to reply for some drywall questions. His honesty about even liking the diy bucket system of the owner make this guy a great teacher. Thanks for this video.

One of the things I always tell people about how much shinanigans get on with most "how to" or "diy" youtubers is to see whether or not they include any close-up finished beauty shots. I love that you did at the end, especially that it showed how it wasn't as perfect as you'd like it to be.

The only person I have seen with festool and a garbage bin as a workbench! Amazing!

Thanks for showing the blister repair. Most of us (or at least I can speak for myself) have blisters when I’m doing my weekend warrior stuff. Thanks for keeping that in.

Dude that is AWESOME. Moving into a new house in a week and I will finally get to apply the things I've seen on your channel all these years.

To all the ones that will try it, this guy is way above all of us!!! No way average Joe can do this to that level. Great job!!!

Excellent weekend project! Just need to add one of those hidden locks that can be opened with a strategically placed magnet.

My husband and I dreamed of this for water access panels. Such a great idea! Thank you!

[iamamish]

The most impressive part of this is the consistent reveal around the entire door. No way you nail something like that as a weekend DIY'er like me.

I love every single video this guy makes! Not only is he a great artist but he explains everything very well and he has my kind of sense of humor as well. He gets to the point but takes his time explaining (if that makes sense). I get annoyed watching other people's videos for 10 minutes but this guy? I just watched him for 28 minutes and could keep going. THANK you!!

Did 1000s of these in London years ago in hotel and office construction with edging bead . Proper pain.. Wouldn't use flex tape on a panel as its too fragile and would probably fail after a good few openings or people working in there with tools might damage the edge.When possible we had the panel doors pre cut and fitted the bead to suit, that made our job a lot easier. When doing a lot of panels I would secure the bead with staples using the door as my guide then use some quickset but avoid the staples. Once all the panels had set I'd remove the staples and finish quick setting. This works well if you are doing 20 or 30 panels at a time .You had to number them if they were of similar size since there was several in a suite.Nice to see the old hawk and trowel out (my preferred tools) ...

to help the mud stick better to the wood, prime it first. mud sticks much better to paint than wood. whether you add glue to the mud or not. and if you framed the opening level and square your taping will be level and square.

I'm halfway through making a hidden recessed shelf. I'm so glad I found this video. It's going to look a lot more professional

You are good!! Just bought a 70 year old home and I know I’ll be watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent!

I'm about to embark upon my first drywall project; finishing my unfinished garage. Your channel has been immensely valuable, so I just wanted to thank you for putting all this amazing content on YouTube and sharing your knowledge with the world! I quite literally would have no idea how to approach this project without your videos.

An old plasterer once told me, "The difference between a craftsman and a spreader is the spreader does the job in front of him, the craftsman sees the entire picture and helps the next job after." In this case, you could have just taped the opening and let the next person doing the job to figure the rest out. Here you did some extra steps for the next trade. Maybe it was because you were the carpenter installing the door, but it did strike me this old wisdom. You should rename your channel Vancouver Craftsman =)

This is the Bob Ross of drywall here.
I sure wish he would throw out a, "Happy little corner" or something similar lol.

Love these videos and they are immensely helpful.

What I find that works well and versatile for many situations for door /panel covers is to make a jamb type frame screwed together then add what I call taping flaps to the front of the frame. The flaps can be about 1 1/2" wide and taper from 9/16" to 7/16" and be made of plywood Baltic birch works best. Glue and pin or screw them to the face of the frame. This keeps the frame square and ridgid. Now just insert the unit into the opening (with the drywall cut back) shim plumb and level. Now it can be taped into the 1/2" drywall but only needed on the face. The inside is all wood and can accept any type of hinge, magnet etc.... Btw, no need for a second jamb on the inside, just use inset hinges rather than full overlay. Also with the touch latch you don't need a jamb on that side either.

I like this guys approach as he includes his wrong decisions in the video as well. He could have easily cut them out but he used it to teach us on his mistake.

Good job man, you are honest on your flaws you encounter.
