Kirk Johnstone Shows The Life of a Plasterer.
Basically I wanted to document what I do day to day so you will get videos of me working, a few tips and tricks, how to videos and probably a few funny stories from the pub.
The reason I made this chanel is to sort of leave a bit of me for my family.
I love hearing stories about my grandad, I've got a couple of pictures of him and I can vaguely remember him but he died when I was a little boy.
Can you imagine how great it would be if our grandparents and great grandparents left us actual videos footage of what their life was like. Well that's what I want to do and if you guys can benefit from it or even just enjoy watching my daily antics then all the better.
Anyway, have a great day.
Crack a can open and enjoy the show 😀

3 hour PLASTERING from Brick to Finish
What a fraud... Never wobbled the tressle after you put a screw in it... Embarrassing for you grifter
My mate stepped off the trestle platform. A nail was used as the pin. As he fell the protruding nail opened up his inner thigh from hip to knee. I watched the fat push out from the slice. Quick run to hospital. No more plastering for you for a couple of months Never use screws or nails. Get a proper trestle that dont wobble
The metal peg that goes through the hole to set the height sticks out further. Your mate must of been the most unluckiest of people because the planks go out further than the trestles so he would of had to have fallen inwards diagonally. Hope he's OK. My mate tripped over his shoe lace, smashed his face on the curb, snapped 4 teeth and I saw the fat rip through his lip. He couldn't speak for 2 weeks. Never ever leave shoelaces in your shoes. We are pushing to get them banned for safety
Nice to see some people contractors have a heart , well done Kirk 👍
No just mesh your base coat
Good tip
Been trying diy plastering and you make it look so easy with the expertise you have. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Hope I can be a fraction good that you are.
Why are you not cutting the corners of the plasterboard 45 degrees with a stanly knife? to get a better attachment with your plaster?
I did try also using pads made from insulation scrap bits which are easy to shave to the right thickness - but then I decided to use the laser level (those with 3d lines) - it's so much faster - see? we beginners have an advantage; we are more open to experiments and new tools.
I did exactly what you said learnt how to plaster on site learnt quickly then went to domestic totally different ball game felt like square one again😂
Great video dude. Laid out the layers quite well , what yer looking for before each new trowelling begins, and why the paint roller slips. Gold dust information and takes the mystery out of the processes and steps. Cheers
You dropped half of it mate
I can't plaster. By God I've tried. Its not for me. Masonry, carpentry, electrical, drywall, tiles all easy, but plastering no. I just can't get it. That's why I hired the Armenian twins. Freaking machines.
Hang on a mo…. no one noticed no capping on the cables😮 not good trade values!!
Your works great. That plumber should be ashamed of himself 😂
Some years ago, I began learning three coat plaster in the wake of a disaster involving joint compound on old plaster walls. Entire first floor of a house and an orbital sander with a serious grit to reverse the mistake. It hurt. Finding no one in the NY metro area to at least give me pointers, I embarked on my own trial and error program-do I really have to say mostly error?! Recently, I decided to attempt a screeding concept using metal corner beads. Yeah, kinda pathetic. But how to achieve those elusive flat walls that I just could never get? Well, I own a feather board and a Darby, but I was uncertain just how to use either? This video has provided the next steps of my learning process that would have taken a lot more time without it. I really appreciate your instruction. Thank you so very much for your time and your effort.
How do u stop your knuckles hitting off wall or ceiling when using 4 inch trowel mate
16:18 slow is precise and that is fast ;-)
Love it, they good to board a ceiling but dey are kinky,love the screw trick if you extend them to there max, i build the floor up a bit den couple breeseblock on top😂, but Hay ho
Customer - Can you chase the pipes but make the exposed tails as hideous as you can? Not a real plumber - yes is speedfit ugly enough for you?
😂
😴🤣
I make a couple of braces with a bit of cheap 4x1. On the side i clamp one end at the top and the other end at the bottom x 2. Solid as a rock.
I tried plastering, using real plaster not that compound stuff that chips. OMG, the skill it takes to use a trowel. I just couldn't do it. It would be a cringe video for someone who is a professional to watch. I did two coats of plaster and finally had to break down and use box store joint compound as a final skim coat since it's softer and easier to sand, to get a smooth look. That finally did the trick where I got the hardness of plaster but the smooth look that I wasn't able to do because I lacked the skill. It was a 19x20 with a sloped ceiling - not a project I'd ever do again (it was a DIY because it's expensive here to hire real plasterers, no one does that work in the states on the regular; it's always a special request and $$).
Trestles are awful and should be banned! Use a tower mate
I wondered what Lister was doing these days
This guy sucks .go to Portugal to learn how to build! And I shit you not
just wow.best masonary trowel video ive ever seen.
Have worked years doing ewi both commercial and residential here in the states and most remodel jobs are like this,if you are doing The insulated systems on a regular basis get yourself a hot knife pack for cutting, v Groves control joints ect great channel 👍
Respect
Using the Extra thin scrim makes blending a bit easier 👍
Good on you m8 👌
Well done barry 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌
Needed this trick over the years , gent ❤
Duhhh
Keep up your great work ethics mate. Your work and service is absolutely top grade....you should be proud! Also love the way you help people out when you can with your bunts from UA-cam I.e the odd freebie! Top lad...keep it up.x
Doing clay and lime plastering for 6 years now. This video couldnt be more true. Its the very same here in germany. Youre a proper teacher in this field.
Hi pal - great vid. What gear ru using for base coat? Ru meshing that I presume? Also what top coat ru using ? Thanks Kirk
All you have to do is slap it twice and say thats going nowhere....works everytime safe as houses.
Trussselllls
God bless you my friend
Been laying bricks for 40 years. Cant plaster to save my life but i can tell this man is the real deal. Great teacher as well
Goat teacher! my grandparents got scammed with a dodgy guy who had no idea and thanks to your vids I was able to do it for them with only some skimming experience
😊
Man, I am an IT professional and nothing to do with plastering, but the way you explained is amazing must be your Dad behind your skills and experience... hats off.
😊
exellent explanation. Great job!;)👍👏
Stick a peace of carpet protection on it trace the shape of the hole then you can use the sticky carpet protection as template on your plasterboard Ps your not supose to feather in a patch it should be flush
We need to scrim the joint so it doesn't crack 😃
@Onthetrowel you scrap the old plaster back to show the board then scrim the joint, if you went through the proper learning process you would know this 😁
That's how you destroy the plasterboard because the finish won't just scrape off the paper without ripping the paper to bits. Once that's happened then the plasterboard has lost its strength. If you had learned anything in the real world then you would know this👍
You are incredible mate, got a bit choked on this one, god bless you. You must do a follow up, when Lynn gets back.
So relaxing to watch👏👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Wish at least for short switch my computer job for this 😀
Your such a kind man and a excellent plasterer 😊
For one min i thought you were about to say the famous Lynn was Dame Vera 🤣.....you should get yourself on ' Loose Women'...the story was so heart warming😉...and the ending brought a tear to my glass eye, u old softy😂
