good bit of work there Jeff well done m8.
and a good piece of work from you also gaz.Incidently how long did that take to mitre that end panel and the top of bath Jeff?

Thanks Brian

To do this bath took me roughly 4 hours as it was brick that i was tiling to and it was not the levelest or straightest brick around the bath.

Anyone thinking about coming to Australia here is good info Wall and Floor Tiler 4416-11 - Australian Skills Recognition Information

Personally I dont like trims but If you use a flat type rather then the big curved variety then they do look quite neat. I can get the flat trims up to 10 mil so good for most tiles.

Hi Lads
If you had an external corner to finish but the client did not want trim what would you do if the wall was not straight and you had to cut the tiles to get a level finish.

cant quite picture it,but probarbly would have levelled the wall,and any cut edges that may be visible(brickbond etc) can be turned around exposing the good edge.Then grout them in.

i always mitre tiles never found them sharp but i have seen badley mitred jobs sharp and looking like a pigs ear and i have seen some guys take almost 3 years and still looks like a pigs ear

I mitre quite often by grinding off the backs of tiles therefore not touching the manufactured edge, that way you don't get a sharp corner if you leave a couple mm unground or so from the exposed edge. Here is an example of this after the walls were squared up -
