2 thumbs up for offsetting the butt joins away from the corners where they will crack. Someone who actually gives a F about their work!

[simonfredrick]

Great tip re the corner cracking. Thank you Kirk. Fixed blade every time. I also use mine to hand carve wood. 😊

[paulhammond]

Great tutorial as usual Kirk!
Delphin fixed blade knife with plastic sheath (that fits in your tool belt) combined with Stanley fat max extreme 5m tape. The oversized hook on the tape is perfect for holding the blade against when cutting boards.

It is a form of relaxation watching you fit plasterboard. No fighting with the board and a mouthful of screws ...as happens to a diyer like me

[gingertom]

Always a pleasure watching a professional.

[stevenclark]

Brilliant. Stop making it look so easy! I thought I was a bit of a handy man around the house until I watch your vids!

Great stuff Kirk 👍

[garethcole]

Lovely job. Some nice little tricks in there too. I liked the plasterboard cut to keep your boxing in square.

[sagster]

Awesome tips! Absolutely amazing that in every video there is something new to learn!

How often do you change your Stanley knife blades?

[Ben-gmlo]

I just watch for easy and entertaining viewing. However, I am replacing old wooden flooring in our master bedroom with chipboard to stop squeaks and improve sound deadening. Your trick with the screws is exactly what I need to fit the new skirting board, so thank you for adding this comment to your narrative.
A niggling problem fixed by the sharing, caring Kirt. Cheers!
I tend to use a retractible snap off section knife. Bloody DIYers, no respect for tradition!

[paultowns]

Brilliant job Kirk. Great use of the expanding foam. Take care.

[Ravenclaw]

The screw trick is the same principle of the old dots when dot and dabbing. Nice work Kirk.

[FrankWoodPhotography]

Wonderful to see such a professional job with incredible attention to detail. Rare with tradesmen these days sadly.

[garrywalker]

Such a good video, lots of brilliant information here, thanks Kirk!

Old tools always the fixed blade all i love it when i work at a older generations house and he shows me his garage/shed full of old tools they are like aladins cave

[garynicholls]

Hi Gary from the UK, I have one for you paint water one the metal socket boxes then when you offer the boards up to the wall the water transfers to the board so you can make a spot on cut, O sweet job on the video nice one

Hi Kirk hope you & yours are happy n well.

Since becoming a plasterer I've gained much skills over the years & I'm only getting better 😊

[omar-njwl]

🤔 I like it that's a new one for me screws to pack it level another top tip from Kirk and top job as always Kirk 👍

A snap off with screw lock.
In NZ we have to glue the sheets to studs and ceiling joists.
A continuous bead the full length of stud or joist .
