🎙️ FROM TROWEL TO TEACHER – EPISODE 1: THE OVERVIEW 🎙️

Ever wondered what it’s really like to swap the tools, the site banter, and the day-to-day graft for the classroom?

In this first episode of From Trowel to Teacher, Mick and Dave kick off the series with an honest overview of the journey from working plasterer to teaching the trade.

We talk about what it means to step away from the trowel and into education — the nerves, the expectations, the learning curve, and the reality of standing in front of a group of students who are just starting out in the craft.

This series is for anyone who has ever thought about teaching plastering, anyone already in construction education, or any plasterer who wants to understand what goes on behind the workshop doors.

Expect real talk, trade memories, a few laughs, and the usual Mick & Dave honesty.
