You’re a lot nicer at explaining then my dad is

[mansardmanor]

Gotta get that bolling spin leg kick around motion 😝 at the end of the run

[lprescott]

You're A1 my friend thanks for explaining and demonstrating EXCELLENT craftsmanship

[quinnycoleman]

Little leg kick at 2:50 made this whole video for me

[Jake_Hynds]

I run right over the plugs makes for way less touching up with a trowel.
Just cut them out at the end and clean them out when it's all dry

[stich]

I like to fill my electrical boxes from both directions so it gets good and full

[mattsivert]

Been doing it for 30 years. Always by hand. Now that I'm 52 wrist and elbows are starting to get sore. I'm seriously considering buying some boxes especially for ceilings. I hate stilts lol

[ColinAlford-ej]

2:54 you pull off with the brake and you lift your left leg off the ground. Definitely played hockey, you probably had a decent shot too! Lol. Love the informative videos man, keep ‘em comin👍

[kevinmondragon]

Yo you explain this very well like on 2:18 very good explanation I’m barley starting an I don’t know the basics like the lat Marks thank u drywallnation

[jamesogilvie]

Great video...I eliminate bubbles by mixing liquid dish soap in my mud with water....never have issues.

[Bobbob-vbdf]

Oh my god you know I’m going right over those plugs… damn electricians leaving they’re stripped wire all over

[TheTechGuider]

Where can you buy butt board. I been say someone should make something like that for years. Always made sense to me

[jimmyruiz]

I have some kind of experience in drywall but I never watched the kind of tools you carrry they look amazing and it must be nice to work with them specially the handle yep that short handle I like it thank you for sharing buddy

[havaiki]

Appreciate your videos thanks👍 but can't the sparkys be considerate for us and cut their boxes and lights after we've flush and sanded 🤔 open to hear a ginuwine answer

[johnjones]

I've used boxes on jobs before that were owned by the company I was working for. I recently bought a set of level 5 boxes. I noticed 1 thing right away. The level 5 boxes are not power assist. How big of a deal is not having the power assist on the box? To me on the tape tech boxes that power assist was a pain in the ass to release before filling the box again.

[Pokeyouinthehead]

Are these mud boxes tapered so it would essentially eliminate the need to feather? I do not do drywall for a living, but when i do drywall around the house for anything that requires a lot of taping, feathering takes me the most time and i always seem to have too much mud

[MudMastery]

how do you eliminate the sides I've setu depth on the blad but still come across heavy sides

[jpalacess]

dude i feel like a pro already and knowing me i learn alot more if i see them doing the job than them telling me doing like this without knowing how the hell hold the tool

[michaelcastner]

What size box are you using in the video?

[leemcmurray]

Thanks for a great tutorial / tips video ! I’m looking at getting a 8inch and 12inch .
