Great batch, I like how you were able to keek the botroydal form on many of those. Great photos too. Rich Gotta tumble them for a pretty short time in the coarse grind. The trick is to break them into tumble size pieces. If they were not so fracture able. If i had a trim saw i could get them to great shapes. |

James, an inexpensive tile saw would be perfect for cutting them into shapes.

For the tile saw and your uber tough stuff, you may consider a segmented blade. They are cheaper than sintered continuous rim too.

Anybody who can lay tile has my respect. Confusing and tiring work. Pepe and Miguel and now you are way better men than I. Pepe does Versailles Pattern in his sleep. I tell my clients he is the best tile man in California. There may be others as good, but none are better.  If he knew I was telling you this he'd blush. The humblest superstar you ever met. |

This steam room was a workout. Upside down tiles and glass blocks. Concrete plate bench w/tiles. Sloping in three direction floor to bottom drain box.  |

You tiled the ceiling? WOW - I'm impressed! I've done floors, walls and brick walkways but never would have thought to tile a ceiling!

I was told to use that polymer milk instead of water Karen. It is much more lubricated and forms a suction. It helps if you stand on your head every few minutes
to get the blood down your arms. With the polymer it makes it easy. Makes the mortar real creamy.

Freakin' country woodsman has a royal palace, natural jacuzzi, steam room, metal workshop.....
It's like a craftsman's resort living at "La granja de la familia Price"...
Pure genius! I think the estimate of 10,000-11,000 IQ is low.
