The mistake most people make when tape and bedding is smear too much mud on thinking its better to get plenty on so they don't have to come back and apply some more later. The fact is what is labor intensive is sanding the mud so it's better to try to put the mud on thin like you never intend to sand it even if you have to make a couple of passes around the room. That way there is not too much to sand when it dries.
For tile work I would go to harbor freight and get one tile cutter that just scores and breaks the tile and a wet saw. The larger pieces that you just cut in two it's easier just to score and break it like a piece of glass. If you have an application where you need to cut a corner out of or an electrical outlet a wet saw is the best. It's not as messy either. Picture cutting something on a table saw with someone squirting the blade with water. You will also need a grooved trowel to install the mortar. Then when you lay the tile, for floor tile you lay out how you want the tile to run on the floor with a chalk line as a guide to keep it running straight. Of course you loose the line when you put the mortar down but you work in small areas and you can tell from the line a couple of feet away if you are getting off course. For close up you use plastic dividers to keep the mortar line consistent. Usually overnight the mortar will dry and you can grout it. You just mix it up like the mortar and apply it to the grout line with a rubber float. Then with a bucket of water and a sponge you wash off the excess. Then after a few days when you know the grout is completely dry apply a grout sealer and your done.
