run in-situ and on bench

[plasterjfe]

Well I thought I would be the first to start the ball rolling as this room could be very quiet given that this work is rare these days.

Here are some pics of something I did back in the day at college. I made the skid and run some lengths on the bench for the straight pieces and mitres then converted the skid to run the curved sections in-situ or on the wall if you prefer.



If you click on the image you will see how it was marked out and measured on the wall first

WOW a fibrous section i go away for a few days lol i remember doin exactly the same thing at college many years ago but couldnt afford a camera back then or get the pics developed.

I remember u tried to catch me out with the syma recta question flinny. 10/10 for choosing a question that makes it look like you know everything but 0/10 for originality. Anyone listening that day in college will always remember that word with the hope it would make them look clever one day....... Am i right


Am i ?

 

[theblones]

[theblones]

[flynnyman]

You still never answered it lol so whats the answer

 

[theblones]

Don't ask me i wouldn't touch it with a barge pole

 

[theblones]

[flynnyman]

[theblones]

[owls]

do a bit more fibrous plastering nowadays as original features are making a bit of a comeback, like others i did a fair bit back at college when i did my time.and the firm who i worked for did part for the national trust.its a pleasure to tackle something different instead of plastering walls to be honest.

I enjoyed it at college i must say, but i would have to go through the books again to be able to do it now. I have only ever put up cornice since that was already made by a specialist

id love to be able to do stuff like that!!

 

[owls]

if you are ever going to do a plastering course as a change in career etc, take one in fibrous plastering not solid work.

 

[TonyM]

I need to learn to do that as i'm getting quite a few enquiries. I've installed loads of it and done some small repair work, but would like to be able to make it too. Been offered 200 mtrs of cornice to install, but there's 2 large concave radii to contend with.

 

[Gibbo]

its not hard to do tony you just need to be able to run a reverse mould as for the concave you can buy flexible ones now

I've used that flexible stuff and wasn't that impressed, but sometimes I think i'm too fussy.

Can anyone recommend a good book on this please?
