When I started work, To make a hole in a brickwall to fix somethink cannot remember what it was called, Had to hammer this "thing" turn it as you hammered to make a hole then wall plug. That was hard work, Next to no drills and certainly no cordless. That was back in 1971
When I used to work with my Grand-Dad he used one as well, I think it was called a "Plugging Chisel"
I called it love - the judge called it stalking !!!

No ones mentioned the old fashoined but still the best "WATER LEVEL"
Who needs a laser level when 5 bucks of clear platic tubing will be more accurate. Still use mine only thing I'd use on a pool.
Wet bedding still do it, sawdust on the floor still do it, custom mix my own grouts still do it. The old ways are far from dead they just get better with time.
All this nostalgia is making me well up. Getting de bagged and tied bollock naked to the scaffolding or getting dunked head first in to a bosh of ice cold water. It makes me sad that those days have gone as I cannot get my revenge on the young shi*s
But back to old methods have you ever tried blanket washing? This is were you get a blanket and soak it in water then ring it out and lay it flat on the just grouted floor as you pull the blanket back the grout is cleaned of the face of the tile and the joints are nice and flat but you need at least two of you to make a good job of it. You can wash of 6ft square in about three minuets flat using this method.
