Humour me here, which side of a feather edge do you rule with? The flat side up or the bevelled side up? :coffe:

Bevelled side up . When I lived in Devon them dumplings used it the other way y for some strange reason . They'd never used daddy's like us northern proper tradesmen. Ha ha
 
Think of a H rule, and a derby, all hard edges. The bevel on a feather edge is for ruling from hard angles.

Bevelled side up, I have a very lightweight featheredge which I can twirl about very easy. Often when another plasterer is watching me they ask if they can have a feel of my featheredge?

Well you’re all wrong :ROFLMAO:
The bevel is so you can get into the corners with the flat edge. The hard edge rules much more accurate than a bevelled edge.

Don’t think it’s anything to do with that mate more the angle you hold it to the wall

Honestly I’ve always used the hard flat edge. I worked at the college and was reading City and Guild books and it said the same. Not something I’d seen for a long time but a good refresher looking through the books.
Then I saw a Kirk vid recently, top plastering geek.

Does my head in when you’re working with someone who uses the other side and it gets doighty

He’s terrible with an edge sorry mate lol
He can’t hold them properly that does my head in, and when he ruled horizontally did he say he got that nice and flat then ruled right into the angle vertically he’s already got his screeds straight ?
I like him though he’s a top plasterer, full of informative knowledge, huge charisma, extremely generous, very inventive about new ideas
But we all know you’re not a plasterer till you’ve mastered a straight edge it’s the bosses way of keeping lads money down because they know they will ever do one hardwall job a year :sisi:
 
If you think about it, if you use the bevelled edge, cus it’s at an angle, then it’s further from the front to the back edge so it will automatically compensate for excess gear being ruled off :coffe:

He seems one of the normal ones to me, the sbr thing does my head in everyone on YouTube thinks he’s reinvented the wheel, clever guy though anyone see the video when he took the floor up to secure the lathes that had popped
