I had already purchased Myron's essential Drywall book when I happened upon this video at the San Francisco Public Library. If there were one video to learn the basics of hanging sheet-rock and mudding I highly would recommend this video. This video is excellent. You gain enough knowledge from this dvd to get you up to speed. Of course good drywalling takes much practice, but you feel as though you're an apprentice drywaller at the heels of a master. The section on mudding is particularly good in this video, which is the most crucial part of any drywall job. I liked the Taunton dvd on trim carpentry equally as well with Craig Savage. While I would have appreciated a longer video in both regards, the series is very useful, and Myron brings things to life by demonstrating how it's done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete, professional step-by-step guide, October 18, 2008

I wanted a book that would illustrate the proper way to approach drywalling so I could judge the quality of work being done for a home renovation. The book tells it all in a very understandable way. I also purchased the DVD, which I also highly recommend.

The book was extremely helpful in understanding how to do a quality installation of drywall. The instructions were clear, the explanations detailed. It also gave a lot of ideas of how to install drywall in places I didn't think about before: e.g., curved walls and doorway arches. I came away with better ideas for the renovation, as well as how to judge the quality of the drywall installation. I just wish I still had the physical capabiity to lift and do the work! I highly recommend the book!
