And now we know why you're called Vancouver "Carpenter." Beautiful job Ben. Your attention to detail is amazing, but what really stands out is that you crafted this from start to finish all by hand. It looks flawless and I'm sure the homeowners loved and appreciated all your hard work. Also, it's very cool to see your Daughter learning amazing skills from her Dad. Nicely done!
Ben, you should keep doing more variety projects like this on your channel, you seem to be a highly skilled builder/carpenter. I also recommend you do separate videos on how you price these jobs, as many people (including myself) are equally as interested in the profit of high quality jobs.
Nice job! It’s always hard doing something challenging the first time when you have to figure it out yourself without someone showing you how to do it. Turned out great
I find it ironic that during a Vancouver Drywaller, errrmmmm, uuuhhhh, Carpenter, video, I got an ad with Brian Baumler touting the benefits of Trusscore over drywall 😂
Enjoy your craftsmanship, it reminds me of watching and learning from my late father-in-law (who was an old time plasterer) as he skim coated and repaired sheet rock ,in my then new house. The finished walls looked like glass. No sanding needed. It's good to see that craftsmanship is still alive. Keep the videos coming.
C'mon man, the channel is called "Vancouver Carpenter," not "Vancouver holy-crap-this-guy-is-a-wizard!" LOL
That is absolutely beautiful! Being a kid in California in the early 90s, the bullnose corner look was insanely trendy and popular; every new construction house had it. There's some appeal in the nostalgia of it for me, but WOW does it look good as part of the whole design package you've got here! Absolutely makes sense, and a great compliment to the aesthetic. Killer job with the Venetian plaster, too!
Your videos have been the biggest help for our last 3 years of finishing our basement and drywall repair throughout our house. You give the best tips and ways to finish drywall so easily and efficiently! Thanks for your videos.
Man that's absolutely beautiful! And as a contractor, I find vids like this just as helpful as the intricate long format vids. Because even the little bits of knowledge like the small knife in the corners, to the hassles with the corner beads. Gives any contractor the foresight of, damn, I didn't think of that, I better work another two days of labor into my estimate. Which as we all know, could be the difference in making none, some, or what we're worth in profits.
Watching you framing those arches makes me kinda miss my framing days and building arches. Then I bend my knees and remember, oh yeah, my knees say no way, man.
Always a pleasure to watch you work! Your attention to detail, discipline in how you work (no "looks good from my house" garbage always shows in your final product. And I so happy to see your daughter working with you! As a former contractor, it is always great to see women in the trades, but especially with you supporting her! Kudos!!
For someone who has never used those bull nose corner beads, you did an amazing job, and 100x better than I ever could've. Pat yourself on the back for this one brother. Would've loved to see a finished result painted. Beautiful work man 👊🏼
