inventions

[nybor62]

i bumped into an old pal of mine this avo, he,s a plasterer for over 30 yrs , he as invented a nice bit of kit for use with 8x4 plaster boards , those of us who plaster, know how awkward it is boarding a ceiling on ya own,
well not any more , its all ready patented , and ready to go into production, i cant say to much for obvious reasons , it will retail for about £9.00 , there is a lot of interest from the big diy out lets ,

any one else had a brain wave but just left it on the shelf

Me and my mate (who is a computer programmer) were thinking about starting a website up a few years ago where people could submit their own little videos. There was nothing like this around at the time. Never got round to doing it really... Then about a year later up pops youtube :incazzato:

If it's patented you could give us a little idea what it does :smilewinkgrin: I'm always trying to come up with something new, my latest idea was a spacer that is a cross (like a normal one) but each leg was a different size ie 1/1.5/2/2.5mm to help with all these badly sized tiles that are about at the moment, then I realised that's what wedges are for :lol:

That would be interesting, I've used a few that have been good and were fairly cheap...

 

[Ian]

I've actually got another decent idea at the moment but it's a tiling tool only, so even if it is useful there's only probably 5000 people in the country who would use it, don't think I'll be making my millions off it, even if I can get it made cheaply.

Not that I've done much plastering, but don't you guys normally use a piece of 4x2?

 

[nybor62]

its quite hard lifting a 8x4 sheet and getting timber or pole in place , if ya on ya own, with my pals idea you will manage easy on your own

Mine are metal and amazing how fast you can fix 8x4s...

That bricky thing is one of those things you could just make yourself with timber. Great idea though and worth getting if its only a few quid.

The film comes out in another month or so.

[Ian]

according to goverment data there are 65547 registered floor and wall tiler in the uk with avarage confirmed
income of £25 000 pa . sounds about right
