It is plastering, but it's fibrous plastering which is still done to this day. I know guys that can and do do this type of work, some of the work in their portfolios looks every bit as impressive.

i agree kirk its nice work but unless you work for a specalist like hayles and howe or something the average spread isnt going to do stuff like that anymore i was at a house being done in manchester the other day 8million pound manor house swimming pool alsorts of stuff and what are they having done plastering wise 1/2 inch dot and dab with skim finish and standard gyproc cornice people would rather spend there dough on tv's and cars these days

we all call ourselves plasters, the men that did this work are plasterers, we are just little monkeys with silly little giggly sticks

No we are solid plasterers and they are fibrous plasterers that don't know how to use a giggly stick (well not the ones I've spoken to), not to sure where that leaves you though Kirk

actually mate fibrous plaster was not patented until 1856 by a gentleman called Leonard Alexander Desachy, a french modeller. now if you look at the date on the picture it was taken in 1722. wich would mean that this work was run and modelled in situ with regards to were that leaves me.... i am sat at home waiting for my giggly stick or could you just post a good picture of one and i will make my own.

p.s are these giggly sticks cut to an angle or do you do the mitre by hand?
