Fantastic Peter thank you
My pleasure Lib and thanks for watching and commenting. :)
Wow great information, you make it look easy
Thankyou so much Kurtis. Its not really difficult its really just a matter of breaking the piece down until you have the shape you need. Thanks for watching. :)
So helpful! Thank you 😀
Thanks very much. :)
Thank you so much for all your easy to follow videos. You make it look so easy!
Thankyou very much Sylvia, appreciate that, most times it is easy with a little practice. :)
Thank you for your wonderful ideas, Its so nice for you to share
Thankyou so much, appreciate that. :)
I am really enjoying your videos. Great sound, great lighting, You chose light colored tile for demo, good tips, just long enough. Keep up the good work.
Thankyou very much thats very kind of you to say that. :)
Great video's and there's a video for everything! As a total newbie, (stuck down my first piece of tess this afternoon!) your videos are my 'go to' library! Thank you so much
Thankyou so much Vickie, really appreciate that and BIG congrats on sticking down your first piece of tess, you're on your way now. :)
Thank you
My pleasure.
Oh my, you make that look so easy 😃 I want to make paw prints so will try this method. Thanks
Thankyou very much Cosmic, it is easy but a lot depends on the tile as to how easy it is to cut and shape. This technique will work well for your paw prints. :)
@@TreasuryRoad good to know. I will experiment. Thank you
I use a Taurus ring saw. I go just outside the line in case of chipping the grind.
Yes I have a Taurus ring saw as well and dont use it I prefer to develop my skill level, they are also expensive to buy and most people dont have one. :)
Thanks for your video it was very helpful. I am just lost as to where to buy some of those good quality tools.
Really before you decide to buy any tools you need to have a project in mind first so as you dont buy tools that you wont need and you get the tool that's suitable for the materials you are going to cut. Generally most people use double wheeled nippers, they are a good allrounder, I like the Leponitt brand they are of a good quality and reasonably priced, you can buy them from Oz Mosaics who are based in QLD. Other tools the compound nippers from Beliana Mosaics in Victoria, glass scorer from stained glass stores, a scorer breaker from Bunnings, really depends what you need. :)
@@TreasuryRoad thanks. I do have a project in mind. I was hoping to make a mosaic mural of a garden and animals with mainly tiles and a few glasses tiles here and there to start with. I have been collection basic white tiles from tile places and I am going to most likely buy some coloured ones myself. I just wasn't confident in what to buy as I didn't want to end up with a bunch of poor quality tools. thanks.
Do you have more videos on cutting different shapes?
There are other projects where I cut out shapes but are not labeled specifically as shape cutting. :)
Peter, I have been into numerous hardware shops and asked for 'compound nippers'. I have ended up with numerous nippers, which I really don't think are compound nippers. They don't look like the ones you have used in the video here. Where would you advise me to ask?
You may need to go into the building hardware stores, or have a Google, Amazon also sell them. There are new ones coming out by Seabell that l consider to be the best in the marketplace so you may want to hold off. I am currently doing a video review on them. If you look at my videos I have created a small trailer on them l think it’s my third last video. Due to the design Compound nippers multiply the force to generate the cut with less effort. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Pete
What would you say is the best tool for cutting and shaping winckelman tiles? I have the seabell nippers but they're obviously only made for glass as far as im aware. I want to do petals , circles ect
Hi Lorraine. I would consider either the Montolits 55w2 or the SeaBell Max Pro compound nippers. You are right the SeaBell double wheeled glass nippers are only made for glass. Thanks for watching. :)
@@TreasuryRoad Thankyou , Just ordered the montolit. I had the QEP compound and where I'm just starting out hadn't realised the gap was far to big for the winckelmans 🤦♀️
The Montolits are good. The gap on the SeaBell Max Pro compound nippers do not open as wide are a smaller tool rather than the big tradie type compound nippers. I made a video demonstrating them if you want to have a look. :)
Do you ever use a sanding stone to finish off?
I haven't used a grinding stone but I have used a diamond sanding pad with water. I try and avoid doing any sanding or grinding because it takes extra time if I am creating a large project. On smaller projects or a project that's going to be handled then I will grind the tess. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
I think you mentioned something in another video about wetting a tile before nipping it. Is this still true?
Yes you can wet your tile when I came up with the idea I made a video on that, its on this channel, some even use it on crockery. If your tile isn't difficult to nip then its not necessary. :)
Thank you. Is there a machine that can grind out the rough edges?
Thankyou and my pleasure. Many people use a stained glass grinder, but it can void some manufactures warranties, so it’s best to purchase a good second hand one or if you’re in Australia the Inland Mini Maxi grinder can do stained glass and crockery. Available from Merlin Mosaica and Axess Glass. 😊
@@TreasuryRoad Thanks very much TR for your reply. I shall follow up on those suggestions. I will search your vid selection but would like instructions on how to cut tiles to make triangle patterns from small to medium & slightly larger. Just curious to know if most tiles have some form of nasty silica in them? It seems like a decent N95 mask would be essential.
@@grittsy You could make a template out of paper and then use a glass scorer to score the tile where you want the break to be and a scorer breaker tool to break the tile along the score line, you should get good triangles. Definitely a good N95 or P2 mask, avoid the KN95 masks they are cheaper Chinese ones but are not approved to meet the standards of NIOSH. All ceramic tiles, crockery, concrete, slate, etc contain silica. :)
@@TreasuryRoad Thank You
I am interested in buying the tool for precise cutting of the mosaic. What is it called? Where can I buy it? I live in Israel/ thnks
I'm not sure which tool you are referring to, but the double wheeled nippers are the ones I used most in the video and are not suitable for very hard tile, for harder tile you would need a pair of Montolit 55W double wheeled nippers and the other pair with the yellow handles are called compound nippers, these are fine for very hard tile. I'm not sure where you will purchase these in Israel, you would need to Google them or you can purchase them from a mosaic retailer that does international shipping, I think Amazon also has them. Thanks for watching. :)
@@TreasuryRoad I meant the middle tool in the video that cuts the ceramic into two precise parts. thank u very very much. I found it in Amazon it calls SPEEDWOX Mosaic Nippers. Have a nice week
Ahh, Over here that's called a scorer breaker tool, glad you found it, thankyou for watching and have a great week as well. :)
After you cut them do you sand it to soften the edges?
I generally don't unless the edge is exposed for instance its on the edge of a mosaic where someone could cut themselves. You can run a bit of sandpaper, sanding diamond pad or a file just to take the sharp edge off if you need to. Just make sure you wear a P2 or a N95 mask if you aren't using any water. :)
@@TreasuryRoad Thank you. I always wear a mask. Your skills are spectacular and I truly enjoy all your videos! Your awesome!
@@yvonneschimmel453 Thankyou so much Yvonne, I appreciate that very much but I am just learning along with everyone else. :)
@@TreasuryRoad yw 😺
Hi Peter, thanks for this video.
I'm going to buy a compound tile nipper but in Amazon I could find 2 different ones. Not sure which one is the right one.
32035Q Roberts/Q.E.P. Co. Inc. Compound Tile Nipper,
M-D Building Products 49943 Compound Tile Nippers (Pro)
I would be looking at the QEP one, looks to have comfortable handles, just be aware that the handle opens up quite wide well it does on my ones, check out my video review on compound nippers and that will explain it better. :)
