How To Mud & Tape Drywall Butt Joints

[ranman]

Thank you for not including a COMPLETE HISTORY of drywall taping like some other videos and thank you for not over explaining each and every tool. You jump right into it, and that's what viewers really want to see. Big thumbs up!! Thanks!!

I love this channel so much because this guy doesn’t try to be cool. He’s just a nice teacher.

You demonstrated a perfect way to get a butt joint done without any extra work. Been in the carpentry business for over 5 decades and your video is welcome to the Smart and not so Smart of doing things right. Thank you, Joe

Shanon is one of the best teachers in YouTube. Calm, matter of fact, easy to understand and follow.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Hopefully YouTube pays you nicely for the help you're providing.

Your videos turned a heavy duty mechanic (myself) into a reno addict. I bought my 1st home this yr and ive done everything from opening up load bearing walls, replacing small windows with large windows, drywall, wiring, framing. When in doubt i tune in and sure as crap every time i need to know sonething u got a vid to help me along the way. Thanks a bunch and keep it up

Excellent job. Not too much and not too little info. Smooth, articulate delivery. No chit chat. Just what we need. Thanks.

[peterbarjona]

That was excellent, you made it very easy to understand, you're a natural YOU.

Love this cat's videos.. always well shot, techniques are explained thoroughly w/o a buncha needless info. Honestly, this guy's videos are some of what make the Internet a (potentially) useful space for sharing ideas. Thanks a ton..

Hi Shannon,
You're my "go to man" when it comes to videos showing how to finish a basement. I've watched several videos about each stage of finishing and you are always the first and last video I watch before actually doing the job. Thank you so much for putting these videos together for rookies like me. Keep up the good work!

[michaeldavidharris]

I have seen many of your videos. Not only are you a professional builder, but you are an excellent teacher!You have the common touch to teaching these many crafts!

I wondered how is this guy so at one with the work he does. So humble and calm. Then I noticed he doesn't have a wedding band. No woman Sucking his life essence from him :). You are a better man than myself!

I am a DYIer and doing small drywalling jobs around home for 25 years. From your video, I learned that wider mud on butt joint makes a smoother finish.

Thanks Shannon. I did some of this in the fall and had great difficulty getting the wall smoothed. You make it look so easy but it's actually quite a skill. Thanks for the tips. That bevelled putty knife is an excellent idea. I will get one of those for my next project - basement.

Always enjoy your vids...straightforward with no pretentiousness or unnecessary jabber. Thanks for the vid.

[cjhayter]

I do a lot of rehabs. and am always watching these videos. You have done a great job explaining without over complicating. easy to follow and fairly thorough. thank you

[richardshields]

As someone who has never done this before and had no idea where to even begin, I found this video very informative. I feel confident that I can do the job myself.

[jeffthewhiff]

As a professional painting contractor, I can appreciate this video because I have encountered this type of finish work where the joints are not beveled and it is necessary to try and hide the taped area without leaving a hump on the wall. Very good job of explaining this technique, Shannon.

[williamneal]

Great video, no dramtics, no intro stuff, right down to how to do it. Best format and information I have seen in a while, thanks

[lostinfflood]

This video, along with your others is excellent! You explain things in a clear and understandable manner. You demonstrate how to do professional job. You obviously take pride in your work, and you should. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It gave me the information and confidence to attempt taping and mudding the sheetrock in my garage.

[ccurrier]

Hi, I'm new to remodeling & trying my hand at sheetrock work & this video was very helpful. Thank you & I'll be watching more of your videos on inside & outside corners.
