as long as there are mugs about (and there's always plenty of mugs) people like this will make money. sad but true..
 
It can be done oasis. I am a self taught plasterer. Although i dont consider myself a plasterer it is something i do for a living. All i did was buy a trowel, a hawk, a bucket trowel, a couple of buckets and a bag of finish. I did one wall in my house, then another, and another.. I had no intention of doing this for a living. I was asked by many friends to do work at there house but i always said no as it was just something i did for myself. Then a plasterer friend of mine looked at my work and said if i carry on ill make him look like a kunt. I was never confident enough to do work for anyonelse but the more people asked the more my confidence built up. I now work for developers, builders, glazing firms and basically work from recommendation.
I still feel lucky to be doing what im doing even though this is not my chosen career.

you just have to be a bit neater when you work, If I am being honest I think that quite often you get a better angle with it being wet on wet as it doesnt have time to dry on the edge etc etc

hello walltowall.
Like i had said, i never intended on making a career in plastering therfore i didnt buy any dvd's or go on any courses. I listened to a few plasterers talking in the local pub and did some research on ebuild, before the plastering section was deleted.
