Re: Creating Your Own Practice Area | | Well to be honest the 4 week course i did ...i felt quite confident to tile bathrooms ect.... friends and family (small tiling jobs) are great to build your confidence up....
now if your really itching to do some practice work then i would suggest a full size sheet of plaster board ..wall plug it to the garage wall....(make sure you secure it well because of the wieght of the tiles) and away you go...to test your self whack in some copper tubing here and there and also some wall sockets (15mm ply the same size of wall sockets will be ideal..you only have to nail it on then)
setting out for me is the most important part of the job...so i would maybe put a diamond pattern in the centre of the plaster board maybe 4ft sq with a border.... that way you can test yourself with your setting out...
so all in all you have alot of things to look out for on your project...don't be placing your tubing where it will be easy..... just place about five diff size diameters to and work too.
