hi guys Kirk and jason here with Kirk giordano plastering, today I'm not gonna show you guys
anything instead I'm gonna explain a goofy little story my son was telling me if they dad and I
was on the computer and I seen this guy he's way better than you as far as plastering and I thought
that's a dude there's no glory in being the best then I thought about I said okay he said no that
bell towers where here's your trophy for being the best guy you get one of these right here this is
for being the best how'd I end up with wearing a back brace because for years I was Union and I'd
always say who's the best Darby man for example and I get I'm working behind a pump and I pull
the mud up after they shoot it on the wall I would pull it up now I did that for years I and when you
pull the mud up is like pulling up about 50 pounds and you do it over and over and over year after
year it's like taking a sledge hammer hitting a piece of wood it jacks up your spine that's
why I got this belt so I said why is this guy so much better anyway because again I know many guys
who are better than us what I like to be what I want to be remembered as if somebody does it
right doesn't right the first time he says well he had us try and he was spinning a hawk on it I
said dude we were doing that 30 years ago I mean we used to do that stuff as apprentices and so
I thought I'd show you guys this is kind of goofy and it's way off what I generally do but I thought
it's kind of humorous because we used to do this say for example you find a hawk okay now these
Hawks are beat up if I drop these let me say all this stuff falling off them they're full of mud
what you need is a good Hawk say for example and you need a sharp trowel you get a child like this
find yourself uh-huh this one is clean this is one of my hawks I clean it often it could be cleaner
you find the center of it you find the center of gravity usually right underneath that handle and
you just spin it spitting guys is not a big deal I mean I told my said I said you're talking about
this this is what makes somebody better than me you must be kidding me back when we were a union
I had my buddy Fred Smith he was so good he'd take two trials on one in each hand and he'd
throw it straight up and catch it on the other one spinning just like this just like that and
he'd catch it on the other side now that is what I consider good I mean you could use anything a
nail a pointer trial this guy here long it's got a sharp edge it'll spin if you can hold it right
in the center of gravity since my buddy Fred Smith was better than me and he would hold it longer one
day I went to the job and I said well Fred can you do this Wow spinning it hey says old man you know
I don't work those things you know I'm watching it spin and I'm keeping an eye on it say for example
whoo keep an eye on it keep it spinning I'm gonna try that again keep an eye on that guy hold a dead
center and say like what I was doing is I would spin these and I go I was trying to top Oh Fred
and I said well can you do that Fred but anyway this is union stuff I got a thousand things like
this we used to do so if you're going to impress your friends guys if that's all it takes here's a
tip get it dead center yeah head center make sure it's dead center and you know what I can do this
with a basketball too I learned the secret with a basketball you got to have big hands got to
grab the ball put it on your finger and spin it my hands weren't big enough at one time I could
never do that but you spin it just right you get a dead center and guys you can do that stuff all day
long say you get it get a trial you just kind of find where you think it is and if it ain't
there it ain't there but you get it spinning I thought I was showing my son Dan yesterday I
said dude this is it that doesn't make anybody a good plaster but I got a kick I mean we'd hold it
let me see if I can hold it even when it stops it's it's just a matter that doesn't make you
a great plaster anyway my name is Kirk I thought I'd point that out guys because it was real cute
that somebody so young who thought that's how you that's your yardstick for measuring somebody as
far as their abilities give me the ability to do it right the first time and get paid and not get
a callback instead get referral that's pure skill anyway my name is Kirk Jason on the camera we're
