    Did you get a track saw in the end or make a jig ?
    I badly need some saw horses . Have nearly pulled the trigger on the toughbuild ones a few times but keep buying other tools!
    I was just working on the floor using a sacrificial sheet of mdf.

    Make your own horses out of 4x2 and a few screws. Take you ten minutes to do it. Very common youtube quick sawhorse.

    A few pics of the work in progress I just made a new architrave, its double thick so it sits flush with the face of the panels. The panels & skirts are based on 100mm . I bought a tracksaw for ripping them and it worked well. A panel saw could have saved hours of setup but you cant have it all.


    Lovely job.. Well done.

    Lovely job ! Thinking of doing the ensuite with herring bone myself.

    Did you forget the shower head. :)

    I hope not....its all surface mounted:D
    The herringbone is a nice challenge (45degree even moreso), I think this is my 5th diy tiling job so needed to up my game.
    Definitely not one to start out with or one to rush but it makes the standard stretcher pattern look very basic.

    The 45 degree pattern looks really modern.

    I want to do similar in my kitchen with off-white tiles, but I've never tiled before and don't think I'd be able to do it right.

    Nice job, are you going with a dark coloured grout to emphasise the pattern. Pity the tiles aren't a little longer but quite difficult to get long thin tiles for some reason.
    Herringbone looks great, it and hexagon probably the most difficult in terms of planning and wrapping.

    Here's a good video on doing herringbone, if only doing a splashback or single wall it should be manageable as it's the wrap arounds that are the most difficult keeping everything square and true.
