Feck that, upset me paying £45 for a new normal one.
 
I thought one looked like either charlie chaplin or hitler.
 
One thing for sure, not many who spend their lives attached to one make the ton.

if a trowel was £200 you would still pay it though... chippy tools are damn expensive... plasterers get off quite lightly I think in the grand scheme of it :D

I agree completely but most plasterers ive met seem to be borderline pikey when it comes to buying tools.
I know lads who will buy buckets from asda and make their own hop ups rather then spend a couple of quid.

Plastering's got one of the lowest setup costs of any of the trades, along with painting and decorating. You can get away with minimal tackle.

Chippying, especially 2nd fix, is a bloody nightmare. You can buy cheap gear, but the boys with the best gear have the opportunity to do it quicker and to better tolerances, so make better money. It's an arms race.

Some bugger will invent an automatic plastering machine one day. That'll throw the cat amongst the pigeons!
