In answer to your question - tiles were made at goole sandoft tile factory in heritage department all handmade. They might show this week us making them on the tv. Big episode this week - its me in full speed waving my arms at the walls and shouting a lot. Don't forget to tune in 9pm Channel 4 Rome wasn't built in a day. Please be kind to me. We managed to get some freebies from Marshaltown ie trowels and handboards and I ordered a brand new midget marshaltown to do all the rendering. One mistake I put some of it on too thick but you live and learn. I won't see the episode till Friday as in London. Thanks a lot for your support.
 
im looking forward to it.

what so they had stainless steel trowels in roman times,i bet the architect fella was pulling his hair out, like using wheel barrows.
 
Shame we didn't see more of tims work last night, would've been nice to show the general public whats involved in plastering. Looking good though.
 
You see I was wondering why a midget trowel.... but maybe it was easier to to push it into the straw type backing? The mix looked a little dry if I remember right... but I am sure he will be on here to put us right :)
 
oh god yeah... rakes of work there... and fair play to him it looked good.

Was I the only one impressed with the sandstone columns???????
 
Imo he should have sponged it after the 3rd coat to make it more uniform. And they did have sponges them days but not to bad a job considering
