Nela hawk

[kgreigh]

Am I missing something here.I know where to get them.I find mt warp easily
Any lads have one.

I have a 14" nela board and a 13" mt board,I use the nela for almost everything now I just use the mt for dabbing,it feels more solid than the mt not sure if I use it more just because it's a larger size than the mt.

I think I have had two hand boards in nearly 30 years if you keep them clean once you have finished with them you shouldn't have to replace them unless they get lost.

 

[BigK]

So yours don't warp flynny?
S&c makes mincemeat of MT handboards regards warping.

If you have had only two handboards in 30 yrs your not putting enough on cocka [emoji23][emoji23]

Depends how much it's used, this is a Mt magnesium which is supposedly harder wearing then Aluminium .

Think the nela is nice ..little bit heavier though,the extra inch makes all the difference





So my Mrs says

As long as you clean them with a brush not a hammer they will last for ever

I worked with a plasterer from Brussels last year and he refused to by a hawk because he could make one outta ply wood [emoji28][emoji58]

 

[beader]

Is a hawk made from ply anything like a wood pigeon?

 

[zombie]

might sound stupid....but do u recon a un straight handboard over time will wear your blade on your trowel out un evenly?

I only ask as foook me I looked down the blades on couple of my trowels earlier and jesus there all over the place...funny but I don't seem to notice any problems with my work though or a gears going on the wall etc...

 

[Donzo]

Those fooked trowels that are all over the place sell for a bomb on eBay.
Much sought after.

 

[plasjack]

People say that the mt trowels are out of shape from new! But I've never had a problem

Aluminium is softer than stainless steel so your trowel should not wear...

This is a first me, but as an honest man I will say my Nela hawk is as flat and square as the day I got it (albeit dirtier lol) I've been very happy with it as far as hawks go

 

[Rhys]

I've got a Magnesium MT after my old one turned it is throwing star (now about 10" after being cut down). My mates got the Nela and it's pretty much identical apart from the handle, in fact it's the only way I tell them apart sometimes.

 

[Donzo]

You are correct,got one of the nela ones for a change from mt.
Only difference to me is handle which i prefer.
A hawks a hawk.so im told.
How many lads have bought tools on a hype.
That trohawk thing was binned by me in a day.

 

[beader]

Would of been better if they had called it a Trowboard.
