Thankyou Mr Gibbo

[mark ross]

They say you never stop learning.So very true. During a thread a couple of months back dicussing mock ashlar lines, ( of which we have done for years very carefully in semi drying render.I picked up a very good tip from a guy on hear using a 4 inch disk cut in half.the next day to cut lines.

Simple but very effective.

So all credit to the best forum around and a big thankyou to Mr Gibbo.

Cheers

I have in my head a level edge and a pencil onto wet still damp gear. not sure how he does the grinding bit. would be worrying putting a grinder onto a wall u just rendered ?

You could always use a ashlar jointer. Some old spreads might have one. I got hold of one of a retired spread 4 years ago. Tyzack made them. But saying that a stone carborundum grinding disk would work. Cutting is about 3mm and grinding about 5mm. A new wheel will be flat on the cutting edge. A bent (curved) 6 inch nail will do it as well but not as good as it is round.

Don't think he means use the disc on a grinder, just use the disc as a tool itself :RpS_wink:
