    how much would a course like that cost?
    great pics by the way
    i dont know how to bend the borders have heard you cut the boards in half and tease it round that way but as i say that could be rubbish

    Sort of yes. But there is a bit more to it than that.

    As for price. We run a 3 day version of the above course for a all in £450 quid :cool:

    If you wanted a bespoke course where you will have the center to yourself for 2 days then your looking around £600.

    ok thanks matt!
    i know a lot of people go on your courses but how would you feel making a small video of bending the boards?
    obv travelling to birmingham on top of the 600 works out quite expensive for the likes of myself up in aberdeen
    just a thought totally understand if you say no due to you showing the paying members of the forum :)

    I have spent near 20 years perfecting bending boarders. I don't want my secrets going up on YouTube for all to see. Im sure people who have come on my courses don't want my secrets (and now their secret also) that they have paid for also being shown for public viewing! Many people including the big names manufactories have tried to replicte my methods but have all failed so far.

    Its one of them mate, once i show you you will also want to keep it secret as you will now be able to offer your customers something extra that you can now charge more for! You payed for it so why should it now be Free for others to copy?

    Anyway....... we do a 3 day course at £450. Yes you have hotel etc on top and lose 3 days work but i believe that all the lads that have been on my courses so far report that the course has paid for itself within 3 months. They get the job as they now have a certificate to flash to the customer when the other person does not. You can charge more as you can now offer more against the other person as well.

    More and more people are coming on this forum and seeing the pics also and asking fitters to reproduce what they have seen on here. Believe it or not but we are now close to 20'000 people reading the forum each month !!!!!! Add in we will soon have the Fitters Directory up and running the 20'000 people reading the forum will soon be able to find you on the directory also.


    So answer is, no sorry no vids :(


    PS, im looking at opening a center up in Scotland. Wont happen over night, but im working towards it.

    Got to say I totally agree. I have spent alot of money learning these skills and on Matts courses you will learn how to do bending borders and more.
    When me and graham went on the LVT advanced the other month Matt showed us alot of other great tips as well.
    Well worth the money.
    Graham has been fitting amtico since it came out and if he can learn new skills at 58 anyone who goes on these courses will learn and then make the money back.
    If you go and price a job with a curved bay window and they ask can you bend the border round it. You either say no and dont get the job or yes and charge more for doing it.

    The question is...Do you want to join the magic circle?
