The first course or so called professional training I ever did was a 3 day Bisazza course 4 yrs ago.
Since then, a stone restoration course. Lithofin day course, and the schluter wet room course, twice!
And of course, a Porcelthin acquaintance course.
That's the total sum of my professional training in 35 years.

Where was the stone resto course ?

My first tools were inherited from my dad as he started to double up on tools so I had some of my own. very basic but there was a ts30. A tungsten hammer and clamp for knocking holes out of ceramics.
