    Default Scribing ( how to )

    Hello all,

    It's been a while since I was on here and i'm happy to be back.

    I have a small job coming up which is simply tiling a bathroom floor which also goes into a small hallway, a total of 4 square meters, there are also 4 doors within this small area all with detailed architraves. Now I learned to tile through a coarse but it did not uncover all the secrets and mysteries of the tiling world to my dissapointment, I was taught to cut through or use paper templates on door architrave when tiling the floor but I would like to know the best way to scribe the tile and cut to suit if the other ways were not possible.

    I would love to see a video link if one is available

    Thanks all.
