Mr Tiler

Depends which corner you put your centreline through. Right hand tiles or in the pictures case left hand.

I just worked from that line out.
I'll see if I can find some progress pictures from that job.
Would be appreciated ali did you not find it hard just working to the one line? Seems it might be a bit hard as the tile isnt following the line on the run like

Not at all. Made sure my border was set in perfectly level and more importantly square. So as long as you line splits perfectly centre 50/50 all the way from one side to the other.
Set my first cut at 45 degrees to the line (or border edge depending on how you look at it) and marked through my tiles with my square as mentioned earlier.
As long as the centre line runs through the top point and the line marked on the tile with the square then it's perfect.

As long as your measurements are spot on!

Just to mention (and not to cause a row) but this is a 1.5sqm floor, not the 25+ deano did in a day on site. I did this in a day and tool the same if not more than what 25sqm on site would pay.

See I think I can't do site through simply not being quick enough. That's because I lean more to the smaller details of tiling. I really enjoyed doing this because of the accuracy and intricacy of the floor.
I cut all the stone down from bigger pieces. Admittedly these were done the day before on the wet saw but only took about an hour.
The 45's I marked and cut with the grinder on site. Polished once fixed, sealed, grouted and a final Polish.
