Either way, I think those guys built most of the walls you see in this section!!
The top one might be a gauging trowel, and the bottom one is a bucket trowel which is a handy tool when knocking up a small gauge in a bucket.Is the top one a pointing trowel or is it one of those finger trowels and the bottom one for cleaning buckets?
Are you talking about Screwfix or the builders from the threads.That's right. Their business model is questionable, but they are doing alright.
Like no manhole I've ever seen. Ahem......They just fitted a manhole in Bolton:

I use a bucket trowel when I do block work. I must retrain and do it correct way.
Now we are back to the way some of these other guys are doing their work.Is that like a JCB bucket?
They are about as wieldy as a dinner plate. Fine for scooping muck out of a container but completely bereft of any finesse.I'm not a bricklayer by trade, but I do lay a few thousand bricks and blocks every year. I use a gauging trowel over a normal brick/mason's trowel as I usually work with the mortar dumped into big plastic flexi tubs where the shorter length and round nose makes it easy to get all the mortar out. Out of habit I still use one when working from a board. What is the disadvantage to using one? Is it only the speed?
