to be honest mate if i come across your invention i will buy & try, i would think it would also be good for all the ready mix plasters that they use for jointing boards

I'm seeing a patent attorney tomorow afternoon actually, as you know as soon as its submitted its covered.
Finance is another thing I'm waiting on too.
I'll get back to Ian soon, its just I have swapped manufacturer due to priceing issue.
On a good note though I came up with another thing today that deals with something that plsses ALL plasterers off, now I need another type of manufacturer for that cos its different to my other stuff.
nick0412 said:also, has any1 used 1 of those massive marshalltown hawks?
I use mine for everything rendering.plastering.tiling.pointing etc. thats what i invented it for nick buy and try you might like it. like a lot of other tradesmen it cuts out the hawk spotboard stand and bucket trowel the trowel does it all check out the videos on you -tube its a good piece of kit to have in your toolbag regards jimfishnick0412 said:do u render with ur trow....
nick i invented it for a range of jobs like i said i can lay on 40 metres with it easy lay on hardwall .bonding .browning float and set .And render.but practice makes perfect and im pretty good with it ive done quite alot of demonstrations at colledges and training centres most of the young trainees think its great but its a new trowel in a very old trade so i have people critisise it from the old school because its new and some people dont like change also its out there for people to buy and try because i believe its part of the tradesmans tool kit .I have a petrol cement mixer for my render and when the jobs layed on my tro**wk cleans the last bits out of it because its the same shape round on the end like i said theres lots of uses for it not just plastering well worth the money cheers jimfish.nick0412 said:well i was thinking for a long time about how to get rid of using a hawk all the time. so i bought a machine.
i can see that it might be useful on small domestics. not so sure on bigger jobs personally. what sort of work do u do? would u use it if u say had a 40m ceiling, render and set the walls?

(french word) me Jim that's the first thing you've said that I think it would really come in handy for, so I'm going to spend my ten quuid and get myself a trowel for scrapping the mixer out. And no I'm not taking the (french word) I really mean it.
