Hahaha ok Ash think we must be talking cross terms here.
U asked where u could get a 90 degree set square yes?
Then u said u had a 45 degree square and could u use that, yes?

 

[Mr Tiler]

Haha so your sorted then!

[Mr Tiler]

i cant get my head round it i want to do it like ali has done in that pic just without the boarder, but all need is the 45 degree of the triangle dont i?

Buy a simple carpenters square Ash.
Use the 45 degree on it to mark a line a 45 degrees from the corner of a tile. Do this on a few. Find a centre line and lay the tiles to it so the centre line follows through the line on your tile.

If that makes sense
