Help on Tiling with Quarry

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Merle you are the man I remember cutting Quarries with a pin hammer and tungsten chisel. Before machines were invented. The bit about knocking off the back of the tile on reverse of scribe we called back edging. I am so old:20:

Put it this way I'm not 40 yet, but my Dad's a tiler, aged 60, and I was working with him from the age of 6 (and that is not an exaggeration!!) and also worked with AND LISTENED TO - Thats the important bit - some of the best tiler's in the game - some no longer with us regrettably
