Only when I'm rendering.
Tbh gibbo...I haven't nor anyone I've worked with over certainly the latter yrs used 1...
Though when I started it was the norm white buckets,builders buckets and spotboard....
I think it changed when it went from spreads always having a labourer to mix up with to not being able to price them in...
Then also bigger buckets were available commercially...and here we are...
I could think of nothing worse now than stopped starting to mix up, for me its mix the lot up and get the lot on...
But hey I also 1 coat and still get paid everyday so what the foooook do I know!!! Lol

I could'nt work without a board and stand.It would drive me mad scooping out of a bucket the whole time.
Ive never used the larger buckets to be honest I don't see the point. Usually i will mix 2 or 3 30 litres buckets at the same time instead and I can then move them about to were I am working easier. Sometimes the weight of the mix will cause the handle to cracl on cheap ones but you can put an offcut of garden hose on them instead and its comfier

I think that bucket would look well beside a g4
If I had that I'd put a mix in, shout "it's ready" to the lad, and then spend the next two hours looking for a brush to wash something or other.......lol.......that my friend is heart attack in a bucket....lol
The board must be the size of Wales . That lot would swamp mine.

Heart attack is just a normal day in the world of plastering

I know... working out of a bucket is hardwork... no matter how big the bucket
Still, working out of a bucket that big, you'll never get lost in the corners, but the echo will deafen you.....lol

I just find it easier to knock up and roll the gear round the room so it's always next to me.
A long handle bucket scoop hangs on the edge of the tub no bending apart the final scrape 1 scoop =full hawk no mooching backwards and forwards to the board ideal in big rooms and long corridors.

I'm on the costa so just a "daft invader"
Like the wheels dude, I suppose I could make a trolley a little taller, and use the scoop, then boom! Nil bendyarse (Latin )

you need to make a bucket list Keith.
I haven't got one what I do have is a very long fuckit list though.
or you could donate it to someone less fortunate/as thick as sh1t.

so on to this week's top tip.
get a sturdy plastic bucket and a small grinder/multi tool. Mark the bucket into 4 quarters then cut it now buy/steal a long broom handle an cut that into quarters now lay your bucket over so it's rocking slightly on the rounded part.
And now screw it through the triangle shaped part to the bit of stolen broom handle.
boom four new bucket scoops
