[stoneybadboy]

deanprigg, I think you mis-spelt your name mate should be deanprick. Dont hate useful videos like this and make out your some bad man,. Are you not embarassed reading your post you look like some real dick.

[SuperDanksta]

nice way of teaching i would like to start making videos also I like how you covered other opptions for people who don't have drywall tools

[TomSawyerPainting]

Thank you Bob. You seem like a Real Pro.

Best thing I did was to invest in a T square - and it's useful for woodworking and crafts as well. Make a mark at top, slide it to the mark. toe hold at the bottom and run the knife down the board. Unless someone is doing a minor repair job the T square is really a good investment. Good plain talk informative video.

[AveIvy]

Thanks so much for this video. I'm a woman and this is a starting point for me to begin placing drywall in a living room.

[gtjohnnycake]

you go girly

[listen2yourself]

Bob, thanks for this video series. Very well done. Disregard the haters and "EXPERTS" who keep critiquing your videos. I went to their account, expecting to find some much better videos since they keep correcting you and leaving negative comments. Oddly enough, they didn't have a single video posted on their account. To read their comments, I assumed they were elite professionals or something.

Thanks again for the video tips Bob!

What's that song? It sounds very familiar to me.

[mastansari]

Great job, I really appreciate your hard work and willingness to help teach basic, keep up the good work and don't get offended by negative comments

[deanprigg]

Don't teach drywall application if you don't know how to do it and you don't have the correct tools, also Don't take lessons from an amateur. Only use a chalk box for running angles, not butts.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

Again Dean,This channel is designed for the homeowner Diy'er not to teach the pro way of doing things.I did hang drywall in new applications and remodeling for a living.If you could only do projects on your home only if you had the tools and techniques the pros had you know you would be spending alot of money unnecessarily. Thanks for the post Bob

[theboneman1977]

for gods sake dont use a chalk line unless your cutting long angles.i can do the slide method up to 64"and im only 5'9" you know what they say about a guy with long arms?he has long sleeves!

[DennisJorgensen78]

Sorry to comment, but NO NO NO! First of if at all possible keep your drywall stacked on a "table", so you can cut it while its laying down in front of you.

Secondly, why draw a line when you can cut instead? Run your knifeblade along your level. hey presto- done deal.

Last, you all seem to use measuring tape a lot in the states.

Here in scandinavia we use a folding ruler of wood. Dont know the english name for it, but it beats the snot out of a measuring band for most jobs under 2 meters.

[ramboroulette]

freehanding sucks sumtimeswhen ur cutting like that standing drywall

whut do the idiots do at the bottom

only butchers do that use a T square for standing wall

[Punkforbrains]

Thanks alot man. Your the only one that has the basics!! and explains it well. Thanks alot man I appreaciate it.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

You are very welcome,Gotta walk before you can run!===Bob

[hugmedotorg]

Trying to cut the drywall freehand like that isn't very bright, you are going to end up with a curvy line. There are a couple of ways to get around this, if you aren't sure of yourself use a locking straight edge, have your knife follow the edge. If you are a pro you can use the slit at the end of your tape measure. with one hand insert your knife into the slit, the other hand gets used as a fence. squeeze the tape measure at your mark and run it straight down.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I hung drywall for a living thru the recession of the early 80's, I don't know about the "bright" comment but I was just showing the alternatives available.With drywall the cuts don't need to be as accurate as in some other trades because of the finishing===Bob

[donnellgb]

So did I, best time of my life...we never ever nit-picked as many who post comments here do. You showed your way; AND gave options. APPLAUSE, and thanks for taking the time out of your life to help others.

[cointelken]

how much pressure are we applying on the sheet rock with the utility knife to ensure a clean break? Especially, 5/8" size.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

You really just need to cut cleanly thru paper,If you are hanging 5/8 drywall it is probably firecode, in which case it has more fiberglass in it what I recommend you do is purchase a small hand rasp to quickly clean any chunks after you make the break.===Bob

[playdrums]

t-sqare's the way to go. Good for marking plywood rips too.
