Simon you are a credit to our trade speaking as someone with over fifty years experience at plastering and restoration which I enjoyed until my retirement. It's nice to see the trade been carried on as the average person as no idea whats really involved Thank you.
yup,,you are a true craftsman fella,,take a tip from a 71 year old plasterer, use lots of hand cream my friend, your gonna use them for a long time,, my warmest regards,,all the way from the UK,,RESPECT 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm a solid plasterer in NZ...well I thought I was until I saw this. Fantastic work. I don't know anyone who does this old school art. It makes me wanna go to aussie and learn it.
Whenever I see other plastering videos on youtube , the plasterers all tend to be big headed gobshites...you sir are a true craftsman...from a plasterer of fifthteen years in the UK...I am in complete awe
hey man what a good job! Here in Brazil few know these techniques! I am a layman but the kind of person who likes to do at home and their techniques gave me many ideas!! Bom trabalho !
@mikeadams1985 good question... In the coring out stage (running the base coat of the mould) with corse sand, you need a dry mix of 9 sand, 2 lime, and 1 cement. Add your water to the portion needed to run the mould, keeping some of the dry mix separate. Use this dry mix to speed up the process of coring. Throw on some of the dry mix to draw out the moisture, so that the mould doesn't fall apart, as it would if you keep trying to run it wet.
Thanks mate. We call the powder stuff 'driers' It's the same mix as the corse material just mixed up dry. 9 sand 2 lime 1 cement Same goes when you're doing the final cost 👍👍
I worked on one of Melbourne's most iconic buildings, The George Hotel St Kilda and made these architrave mouldings, using a pivot system that i figured out. A bit of fun racking my brain for those ones!
@lookin4more Sorry for such a late reply! For coring out, use a wash sand with 2ml agrogate, and for the finish, use a fine wash sand, 70 minus. Cheers.
what are the small blocks made from at 1:49? This is really nice work, i can see this is a great level of craft and could you explain what sort of concrete / plaster render you are using if possible.
omgosh, to see this kind of ornamentation that people "used" to have in so many homes (back in the day) i hope goes back in style because this " Art " form needs to get back in the mainstream, it adds so much to a structure, and maintenance is non existent. Teach it to prisoners and other incarcerated people as "that kind" of work can be done day or night
i am interested to know is the tafe course called Solid Plastering? My mate has a son 14 and he loves the restoration side of building. he helps me every weekend. its almost killing this 63 year old lol. but we are going to try a chimney on the old house im restoring, using solid plaster.
Hi Simon I hope you dont mind, but I think this film is amazing, and I will put it on my website naplwebiste, which is a website for plastering tutors and plastering students. I think the students will be encourages by the quality of work you produce, and the ease at which you make it look
Hi Simon, Beautiful work. Are you familiar with the work of Soren Vadstrup, Norway? He is a champion of the movement to restore the 'old' ways of restoration work. I have his research files, and the explanations of the traditional ways of rendering, running moulds, etc. If you have any more videos, please post them, as the world needs to see this kind of work. With respect, Bruce
Hola, me gusto mucho tu trabajo,y te cuento que estoy haciendo una ventana de fierro tipo vitro en arco , tenes alguna sugerencia para hacer un arco, con dos capiteles y columnas? bueno se que estaras ocupado, y si no podes no inportam tus videos me aportaron mucho. gracias...
@ Monkeybrainz The blocks you are talking about are called dentils, and I made them out of 3 wash sand, 1 cement and 1 lime. I made them by running a small square band of moulding, and docking it up with a spatula. Apply with neat cement and acrylic. The concrete I tend to use is off white cement. I find it more durable than grey cement. I always use wash sands, hydrated lime, and sometimes lime putty. Cheers.
Simon you are a credit to our trade speaking as someone with over fifty years experience at plastering and restoration which I enjoyed until my retirement. It's nice to see the trade been carried on as the average person as no idea whats really involved Thank you.
The straight edge into a pivot on that running mold is brilliant and solved a big problem for me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your talent.
The old Holmesglen modules, i used to teach there in the early 2000's with Dom. Well done, i like your content.
are you still going at it?, give me a message, i'd like to say hi, not to many of us artisans left.
