handboard all day every day,......call it a hawk up here and you can expect your fellow spreads to carefully slink away to the shadows ,where they will discuss what is wrong with the new bloke from down south, he must have emotional/mental/issues, .....whats wrong with him, did not trust him from the start they will say,....at bait time the new bloke from down south will find himself alone at the table,......while his fellow spreads mutter and grumble about him, soon the brickies will know, never they will say , tis true says i , he calls it a hawk,.......then there will be calls of lynch the new bloke from down south , tie him to the witches chair, after a few dips in the river the new bloke from down south will renounce his views, and declare it is indeed a handboard,

Technically it can be named or referred to as both Handboard or Hawk (it’s in the plasters bible)!
But I much prefer Handboard

Is there a you tube video? Reading a book could be an issue for some!

Looks like the twitcher/angle trowel debate is sorted too.

In Hector's defence, you didn't show a highlighted answer, so the question may have been referring to carpet fitters...
