    Worth doing the course? Never done one but interested in learning, was just thinking it'd be another string to my bow.

    thoughts?

    I’d say so yes mate. Great to offers a customer something no one else can.

    Learned how to do one around 1985 with RBI Europe Carpet Consultants at an advanced fitting course at Kidderminster College.

    Although they can look great, I never did more than a few of them on site as the stitched seam is right on the part of the bull that is walked on, and I considered that this would prematurely wear.

    I do a waterfall bull but attach circular section under nose with staple gun and pull riser very tight onto gripper at newel post. Think its a better job.

    Next time I do one I'll take a photo and post it on here. Its a very common way of doing it around Newcastle. May be a week or two as I only fit a couple of days a week now.
