take your time dan and lay to the line
i would say it takes 6 months to get proficient
3 years to get good
and maybe 10 to get experienced,cookie would know what i mean by this
basically after 10 or so years you can get other trades out of the shite or overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles
its taken me a long time to get to grips with paving because i dont do it every day
cheers LLL

Not knocking anyone’s work, as I really enjoy reading the updates in this and other similar latest work threads.
But, I’m a bit confused .com …find the corner of the house wall / leg of metal cage on the left, and look north & south along the line of blocks after the edging row?
Not just the loss of the herringbone in a bad way etc, but one looks decidedly wonky as well.

I’m probably talking out the back of my head…
But looking across from the corner and at the two cuts, where you would expect a full block going east – west and keeping the pattern, it looks as though it’s probably larger than a block length…hence the two cuts and all manner of other stuff getting knocked out of whack.
But even if that bit was block sized and allowed herringbone to still fall right there, it would create a nightmare with the rest around it…they wouldn’t be darts but slithers.
I suppose it begs a good question, where to start to laying avoid loosing the pattern…unlike wallpaper, tiles or laminate you cant chase it out towards the corners / edges or hide the feck up behind a skirting board, plinth or trim.
It was with some of the handbags by other folks in the recent past, and I thought it better to post a disclaimer…as I didn’t want a genuine question from a regular lurker being misinterpreted as any of that “my spirit level is bigger, harder and better than yours� nonsense hehe
keep up the goodwork gents and keep posting the info & pics, as they are a great read

they are trying to cut inboard,but it takes awhile to get in the flow of nothing less than a 1/3
my blokes still struggle with it
same as yourself haggis i would just run the stihl down some of those wonky cuts to make it look right to the eye,once the sand is in
all looks decent commercial work from here
not your private standard haggis but as you say its *slam it in*
