wow thats like £2.50 a year you must have money 2 (french word) away!
 
The ones i have made have been made from what ever was lying around mainly pine and the grain running the length of it but i dont think it matters as long as its smoothed off with sand paper and rubs up nice.
 
lol

we made a wooden float for doing lime render years ago...

My old boss made a scratcher from a old splash brush and pop rivets

Danny
 
Made a scratcher for rendering years ago from fence wire twisted around with four prongs on it,also made dont laugh a whisk out of the same material a long time ago too that fitted in my old power drill.
 
I once made a toothpick from a 100' pine tree. Or was that a cartoon beaver that did that?

Hello i make my own tools aswell as you know but there are some very good ideas within this thread thats how inventions are created but not to copy an original but to create something new think about this .focus on something long enough and an idea will come to you. Try and create a tool that has the uses of two or three tools combined then register it get yourself a manufacturer distributer and so on spend a load of money on it not knowing if you will get it back go full out and promote it everywhere then after all that waiting for it to become a seller put your next invention out All the best keep em coming jimfish.
 
i made the misses a electrofide vbrating butt plug.When i lick it afterwards it reminds me ok being a kid and you used to put your tounge on a battery.
 
ive got a plastic shovel for hardwall nicked it when the roadsweeper was having a crafty fag 8)
 
The old boy i served my time with used to make his own tools, Marine ply handboard and floats made from yellow pine lovely tools for render, board was a bit heavy when it had gear on it mind
 
I made my own mixing stick once.

I got this stick and mixed with it and that was that, f*ckin tool making genius I am :)
 
I have a patent on a tool that allows the user to ascend and descend ladders using both hands and when in position the plasterer-
renderer can commence work with three points of contact, the trowel is loaded in on sweep while you are still holding a rung.this saves
money and time on scaffolding while safety is not compromised.
