Brilliant video, thank you! I'm just in the process of tiling my kitchen and don't have (or want to use) an electrical tile cutter, but the sockets need going round! Just ordered some tile snippers to try 🤞
I get it.,.just a teensy wincy little bit at a time. Awesome demonstration of cutting a tile, freehand. Thanks for sharing this with us here on CZcams.👍👍👍👍👍
Just cut a tile in half and another one at 90° thanks to this video. Thumbs up! If you don't have the tools he's using to cut the tiles, just use pincers as I did, they work just the same.
Wow. Thank you so much! I'm doing my second ever small bathroom backsplash and I have to work my way around an outlet so I'll need to be notching. I was trying to figure out the most budget friendly way to get around this and it looks like a scribe and some nippers... And this awesome video! Thank you.
Awesome tutorial video! This vid really helped me with my tiny kitchen tiling project. I have no problem putting on whole 12x12 tiles but corners really gives me trouble as it needs special cutting. I'm so not good with big heavy cutters. I'm just plainly scared to use them. But thanks to this video I completed my project 😁
The point and the title of the video is how to cut tile WITHOUT POWER TOOLS. anyone can use a grinder if they have one and have power. Thanks for the video.
I mean if you're good with this style and have a long walk to your saw or maybe cleanup is an issue then yeah I want to do this. Now I need a video on how to convince everyone else to let me do this! hahaha
thanks, very good instructions, needed to cut 4 tiles like these but didnt wanted to buy tile saw specially for that, will try this way! Thanks Sir :) You are a good teacher"
A friend of mine gave me a bunch of small countertop samples a while ago and i was wondering if maybe these tools would be able to cut them? Some seem to be made of plastic while others in other materials (I'm not sure what they are i know nothing about countertops lol). They seem too thick for these tools but i was wondering if anyone would know if they could work? I just want to use them for small art projects like maybe for jewelry or other stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I've been trying to search for weeks😭 (keep in mind i don't have a lot of money so anything done by hand like this would probably be best/within my budget. Though i have other power tools like a dremel, electric drills, saws, electric screwdriver, etc etc so maybe those could work too? But idk)
That is the slowest way ever, epic fail, try doing that when you need to take a square out the centre of the tile lol, that way is only good when your not in a rush.
I had to cut a circle in the middle of a tile at trade school about 25yrs ago, using hand tools, not that difficult to do, slow and steady is the key, used a block hammer to sit the tile on, then used a combing hammer to gently chip away a hole in the middle, once the hole is big enough you use a parrot nipper to finish the rest, takes time but satisfying when you get it perfectly done :)
Wow after watching this, you really gotta appreciate the craftsmen who worked centuries ago and still created beautiful designs
Great demo. I’ve got 6 small tiles to cut, didn’t want to rent a wet saw. Satisfying to watch someone skilled work.

Thank you I have a tile job ( small) backsplash with subway tiles so this is some excellent advice. You are very precise.
Old school tradesmen…can’t beat them 👍
Thanks for this, the traditional methods are still valid today
Very helpful and clear. This will help with fixing a broken tile I have in the bathroom. No need to buy a lot of tools for just one or two tiles.
One of my all time favorite videos.

Cutting Corners..!
Brilliant!
Very useful - thank you
Extraordinarily helpful and clear. Thanks very much!
Nice demo thank you
awesome technique

I'm assuming a standard glass cutter suffices as a scriber?
Awesome thank you sir
Great tutoring
lets just have a cutter with half of that size. does is make any difference?
what is the sharp sharp pen which draw a line call?
THIS MAN IS A TRUE CRAFSMAN!!
Wow!
What a wonderful accent!

Best video! Thanks!
What kind of knife is that?! used to score the tile surface.
Those cut really well. Could you use this tool on slate tile or have you tried it?
Can I do this with glass tiles?
Can I do this on floor tiles? I know they are thicker than shower tiles
Thank you! I hate getting out my ENORMOUS tile cutter for one little tile around a plug. etc.
What can I use to scribe the tile if I don't have a proper scribing tool?
Buy one. Cost you about £3
Will this work with say 8mm floor tiles?
yes you can do it with 8mm
I wish I knew this, I had to make my cuts with a grinder and a Dimond disc
That is the slowest way ever, epic fail, try doing that when you need to take a square out the centre of the tile lol, that way is only good when your not in a rush.
Thank u. Now I don't have to go out and buy a power tool
good stuff ... thanks
Great instruction but the roving camera is making me sea sick.
Good tht
wanna see that on ceramic 10mm.
R.I.P my ears at 0:55- 1:02 😱😫😫😫😖
Can I cut a straight line with this? Thanks for the video!!
Tha's upta yew...
*(& yes, I know that*
*there's a bovine, gaw)*
So wait what do we have to do?
That result depends in type of tile cause i tried it on porcelan tile and it split the whole tile in half
What about centreline the window? Should be first thing ....
+JGTiling&flooring this is more about the cutting of the tiles, not the setting out.
drill a hole in the corner and use a glass cutter
+Sea Dog maybe.
What did he say?
How's this showing you how to tile around a window???
+21centurycaveman the video is demonstrating how you would mark and cut tiles with manual tools to fix around a window.
Just use the grinder??
+Muay Chaiya what if you don't have one or there is no power?
lets see you do a cut in the middle of the tile not the side!

too hard 😂
He didn't allow 3mm for the grout
I'm balls up I've got square metre ones.even tiler said no
Ha ha this guy is really noticeably toning down his accent
What's he saying????
too much background noise!!!!
Or just use a grinder with tile blade
+Shane Rahimian yes, no problem with that.
Could of used a grinder and saved you all that time and mess
Coulda used yer mind, err...
It is not cutting, but breaking the tiles
or just buy or rent a powered tool....
