texture and like doing it cuz it's fun so um a couple of simple tools we got this John what is this funny little thing called that is called a hawk a hawk like the bird um not yeah it doesn't fly but it is a simple you could make it fly I guess if you throw it but it's a simple drywall tool and your mud or topping sits on top of that it does and this um little thin knify sharp thing what do we call this that is called a TR it's called a TR and then we have a few other things um let me grab a few other things we've got this round little scraper thing this is used to scrape the mud out of um a 5 gallon bucket and it's round for a reason it is it conforms perfectly to a 5 gallon bucket because I don't know about you but if you've ever tried to take a 4in knife and scrape mud out of a bucket that is kind of a pain it just doesn't work too well so somebody created that little handy tool that works pretty good we do have um a drill and we use a little thing to mix up our mud right here if it needs to be mixed up that would be our um handy dandy little stir stick but it's called something better than that other options besides a hawk and a TR you could use a mud pan and a knife I like the Haw and TR better I have an easier time making this finish with the Haw and TR but it really just is a personal preference thing um I think guys like in Canada like Hawks and TRS and guys in the US like pans and knives and why there's a difference no one will ever know I think I've um learned using the textures using these two tools right here but I've always done really small projects I think doing for doing larger projects for me I think it's just um I'm learning with this thing and it's a lot faster you know just I think for me to just get and work with the mud off the top of the hog so there's the simple tool they don't cost very much they're very inexpensive and anybody can do this with just a little bit of practice so we got a wall up here we're going to show you how we go about applying it and this method in the look it is kind of um it's I would say individual every single individual person is going to apply it differently and so the look is going to look different so if I applied Sun Valley texture in a house and then next door John applied it in a house it it's going to look a little bit different cuz John's vision of Sun Valley texture might be a little bit different than my vision of Sun Valley texture and the tools that I apply it with just a simple thing if if you…
