      Just ordered a new paște application tool for sheetrocking.

      So I'm totally worthless with sheetrocking tools. So I can't tell if this is a real word or not... is paște really supposed to have a Romanian ș in it?

      My keyboard must have swyped to the Română keyboard... the funny thing is I can't figure out how to actually type an a or the s like that.

      I grew up with my dad as my teacher! I have been working with paste since I was 4 years old... but he was like the guy that only works for one company and never leaves his cubicle. The technology out side his company surpassed him. Now I finally stepped out of the same cubicle and see such better ways to work with paste!

      I'm trying to get buy in from him for his future use. This office remodel is how I'm showing him the new tools.

      having way too much fun

      Which new tools? I've only ever really worked with knife of different sizes.

      Corner roller and corner flusher

        Ha, okay. I keep my iPhone with English / Romanian set up so that I can talk to friends in Romania easily, so I always have those letters available. Thought it was odd, even if you meant to talk about Romanian Easter, that you had the character ready to go (and then used the English spelling of the word.)

        That letter is the Romanian equivalent to the English "sh" combination. So what you wrote would sound like Sean Connery saying "pasta"... "pashtah"

          That's pretty cool. Not sure if I would ever have a need for it though.

                Sean Connery is one of my "voices" love when he comes to visit, it gets everyone laughing

                          they must be pretty expensive

                          For a pro, $2500 for everything, not horrible.

                              My keyboard must have swyped to the Română keyboard... the funny thing is I can't figure out how to actually type an a or the s like that.

                              I grew up with my dad as my teacher! I have been working with paste since I was 4 years old... but he was like the guy that only works for one company and never leaves his cubicle. The technology out side his company surpassed him. Now I finally stepped out of the same cubicle and see such better ways to work with paste!

                              I'm trying to get buy in from him for his future use. This office remodel is how I'm showing him the new tools.

                              having way too much fun

                              Which new tools? I've only ever really worked with knife of different sizes.

                              Corner roller and corner flusher

                              That's pretty cool. Not sure if I would ever have a need for it though.

                              What I'm after in the future

                              damn now that's the way to tape!

                              When you combine all the tools together in phases it's incredible!

                              This tool is also an important part
                              This tool too

                              I'm just asking myself why I have never seen a professional painter using such tools.

                              I think it would be more commonplace in a new housing development being built all at once. The bazooka will require greater clean up. Only really beneficial of you have enough work for it.

                                  Weird consumer tools are a commonplace thing. Best results normally come from the professional tools in any field.

                                    It wasn't till recently that we were exposed to a professional commercial crew using these tools. They are a production team that builds restaurants and other retail places. The speed to produce a quality finish was far over anything we were capable.

                                    Mind you we aren't hobbiest's, I have many years of building, wiring, and finishing homes.

                                    My father has been pasting for well over 40 years, myself for well over 20, one of our guys for about 12 years, not sure on the other guy but he is also good.

                                    We are able to work at a good pace and with a good finished product.

                                    We have a multiperson contractor group. We work on many projects, big and small.
                                    I have pet projects as well (Habitat for Humanity, stuff like that.)

                                    Long story short
                                    The proper tools for "old school finishing" are still not a cheap investment. But this automatic tools are significantly more $.

                                    I think the time savings can balance the expense.

                                        Just ordered a new paște application tool for sheetrocking.

                                        So I'm totally worthless with sheetrocking tools. So I can't tell if this is a real word or not... is paște really supposed to have a Romanian ș in it?

                                        My keyboard must have swyped to the Română keyboard... the funny thing is I can't figure out how to actually type an a or the s like that.

                                        I grew up with my dad as my teacher! I have been working with paste since I was 4 years old... but he was like the guy that only works for one company and never leaves his cubicle. The technology out side his company surpassed him. Now I finally stepped out of the same cubicle and see such better ways to work with paste!

                                        I'm trying to get buy in from him for his future use. This office remodel is how I'm showing him the new tools.

                                        having way too much fun

                                        Which new tools? I've only ever really worked with knife of different sizes.

                                        Corner roller and corner flusher

                                        That's pretty cool. Not sure if I would ever have a need for it though.

                                        What I'm after in the future

                                        damn now that's the way to tape!

                                        When you combine all the tools together in phases it's incredible!

                                        This tool is also an important part
                                        This tool too

                                        I'm just asking myself why I have never seen a professional painter using such tools.

                                        I think it would be more commonplace in a new housing development being built all at once. The bazooka will require greater clean up. Only really beneficial of you have enough work for it.

                                        TBH, I know a few painters. No one uses such a tool, because the old method will get you a cleaner result and it isn't slower at all 😉 That tool may come in handy in some situations, but I guess not so much for pros.

                                        It wasn't till recently that we were exposed to a professional commercial crew using these tools. They are a production team that builds restaurants and other retail places. The speed to produce a quality finish was far over anything we were capable.

                                        Mind you we aren't hobbiest's, I have many years of building, wiring, and finishing homes.

                                        My father has been pasting for well over 40 years, myself for well over 20, one of our guys for about 12 years, not sure on the other guy but he is also good.

                                        We are able to work at a good pace and with a good finished product.

                                        We have a multiperson contractor group. We work on many projects, big and small.
                                        I have pet projects as well (Habitat for Humanity, stuff like that.)

                                        Long story short
                                        The proper tools for "old school finishing" are still not a cheap investment. But this automatic tools are significantly more $.

                                        I think the time savings can balance the expense.

                                        If it was me running a company, I'd be using those tools! Not my sort of business, but I"m gonna have to let the extended family know about these!

                                        Here in NY we have such limited exposure to these tools. I'm glad I found them. Glad to know it helped someone "potentially.:slight_smile: "
