I was once helping a friend fit a cistern in the loft of his newly acquired ex-Rectory, and we found the horses neatly stacked for all the coving in the house - house is mid 1800's.

He didn't realise how lucky he was.

In redering the surface is finnished as the cement sets and is still green , 3 to 5 hours depending on the strength and temp , a cross grained wooden float was used origonaly but a resin one is used nowa days to rub off and change the finish .

Just watched the videos and I wonder what the men's hands are like after a day of sprinkling raw cement with them? Still, very interesting to watch them gradually build up the profile and then the finished article.
