Looking good Phil How have you found your course?

 

[Tony73]

looks good, well done

 

[bod69]

The course is going ok and have been entered into the skillbuild competition north west in may, at the time i found out it only had 4 tilers entering hoping more will join.

looking good m8.

good to see someone learning on a real course & not a "Learn it all in 3 days".

It all looks good Phil. The only thing I would recommend is you consider trying, and practising, mitring your edges on windows and other external corners. Of course, the task is made 100 times easier with the brilliant new invention, Mitre Wizz. But even without that, as Tony can attest, it is still possible to do satisfactory mitres with a wetsaw.

If you have the freedom to experiment on your course, try mitring. Once you try it, you'll never go back to plastic trim, or overlap edging...

Good luck!

Extremely interesting to see the work from a course. Pictures 22 & 23 are unusual as I wonder why the order of tiling is as shown.
Hope you are enjoying it and good luck.

Sorry about the order as am new to this will try and sort it out 18 to 23 was a 2mm model and then the tutor said try the hole wall and patch it to as you can see in 22 the wall had a hole in the bottom mibble and was filled with traning adhesive and left to go off hope that helps.

Well done Phil, I like the arch (voussoirs) reminds me of my cubicle at Manchester college of building, from 15yrs to 20yrs. Good luck with your chosen career.

Bod - my question was more on the lines of why the top half of the wall was tiled first in picture 22 leaving the bottom half to be tiled in 23. Just wondering!
