Due to the bad weather the projects slightly delaid....
Circle feature was more difficult than i expected as i`m not happy with all the joint lines. I wish i`d started with the center stone first but wasn`t confident enough with my setting out.
The Paving maul in the background caused the death of a 600x900 flag...It looked smaller on the website....
I`m thinking of tidying the joints up with the grinder just to even them out a bit..
Just waiting for the sunshine now...

Looks good ,no probs there for first time job,i would no advise to trim the slabs to sort out the lines unless you are very confident with a disc cutter
Nice to see you using good quality tools, very nice MSH

Thanks for the comments:
I`ve purchased rompex easy for the jointing but didn`t realise that they recommend 30mm joint depth, mine mostly are 10-20mm. Pavings been down for a week now so scraping these out will be a problem. Maybe after scraping out i might be able to nudge the circle feauture around a bit to even out the joints.
Grinder hopefully last resort...
