Ah ha a fello northerner! I've always called it a handboard,twitcher, trowel, gauger,gauge spade, fibre tape etc etc!

I always called it a foreigner but in grimsby they call it a barra job but they might be saying barrow. Tool brush/angle brush, tack/board, float/render,

Here in scotland a private Job is called a home job or is normally shortened to hamer. Had a guy out working for me who asked where the Nintendo trowel was, he had meant to say internal but got mixed up, laughed for hours at that and it has pretty much stuck now.

 

[stuart23]

And I had never ever heard a hawk being called a hand board till I joined this forum.
