Hi lads I'm after some help I'm in the process of making my own trowels, I've got the handles & fixings just can't seem to get hold of any metal for the trowel. :-(
I've searched the Internet for 3months now. :-0
So if anyone knows where I can get some nice bits of steel please help :RpS_unsure:
 
China might be a good bet.

Trouble is that there's billions of the buggers, and the odds of bumping into the right guy must be a million to one.........
 
i might know someone mate let me know if your interested cos he never advertises himself so no one knows of him:RpS_laugh:

I wouldn't mind a peice of this home made trowel action myself.
 
Just need some decent strips really, not much to ask for, if I can get it cheap enough I'll be able to sell millions :RpS_thumbup:

I reckon shippping a couple of ton of metal from china would be cheaper delivery charge than refina's shipping of a taping knife..........to the uk...........:RpS_thumbup:
 
thing is you're sourcing the cheapest steel, now you need the cheapest labour to stick the handles on.
