Japanese Plaster Hawks
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Japanese Plaster HawksI need a plaster hawk for a workshop I'll be attending in the fall. I have all the other required tools. So I thought Surely I can make one! I did an online search to get dimensions. That's when I found a site to DIY a Japanese version. That'll do perfectly (says the woman who has never used ANY kind of plaster hawkthat I recall. If I did it was a few decades ago)!
I gathered up the materials (cough/scraps/cough) and made two. You may notice an extra set of holes in one. That's for flipping the handle for a lefty. Countersunk screws only, no glue.
The SurePly that I used is floor underlayment but not technically luan that the DIY article specified. I'm not sure how long it will hold up. I thought about covering it with some aluminum flashing that I have.
Let me know if you have any experience with this kind of tool. Do you like it better than the stick-in-a-square-board version?
