mitre

The mitre (Commonwealth English) (; Greek: μίτρα, "headband" or "turban") or miter (American English; see spelling differences), is a type of headgear now known as the traditional, ceremonial headdress of bishops and certain abbots in traditional Christianity. Mitres are worn in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Anglican Communion, some Lutheran churches, for important ceremonies, by the Metropolitan of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church, and also, in the Catholic Church, all cardinals, whether or not bishops, and some Eastern Orthodox archpriests.

    To mitre or not to mitre, that is the question!

    As above. As a DIY’er what would be the best way to cut the square edge type polished metal tile trims? I have normal tin snips, hacksaws and even one of those Evolution compound angle chop saws that cuts through steel and alsorts-but will the blade bash the trim to bits? Would I be better...

    Mitre L cut metro tiles

    Hello I am looking at the possibility of mitring a L cut on metro tiles around a window reveal rather than using trim. Is this achievable? Any pics? Many thanks
  18. D

    Are you supposed to mitre the internal corners of metro or should you scribe?

    The champers would obviously create to big a grout joint. I'm thinking a mitre. Scribing might be a bit wobbly looking?
