I cut tile.
I like it.
It makes me feel all grown up.
I even start to giggle a little.
The red triangle ruler is called my help-meet or my hubs says most people call it a “speed square”.When you start tiling – you can have call it your “help-meet” too because no one will ever sass you again, when you use a Big Ole’ Saw! Well, they shouldn’t anyway!
I draw lines from the measurements my hubby has handed me from his precise measuring.
(We are laughing a little at that last line…we have to re-cut most of them for our odd walls.)
For example: if he or my son has written 14″ then I would draw a line from the corner of the tile to 14″ and then cut on that line. EASY!
This is a Wet Saw. My hubs says it is also called a bridge saw. He also calls it his. Ha!
I call it a Big Time Giggle Saw.
Not really.
I just made that up.
I call it Bad Boy.
Okay, I just made that up too.
I call it a wet saw.
But, now I might call it Bad Boy Giggling Wet Saw, in a Texan Drawl.
We are friends. He likes me. However, he is super loud and I can’t hear for a few days after we are done working together.
I feel like ear plugs are for wimps.
WHAT??? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING???
Yeah, I played that game for a few days. It worked well. I didn’t hear any sassing!
(Looking back, I would have bought the ear plugs. But, I’m not a wimp.
I’m a girl with a manicure who is using a Big Bad Wet Saw.
That sounds like a bumper sticker in the making.)
I’m not sure if all Big Bad Boy Wet Saws are alike.
But, ours has a temper.
At the end of the tile – you have to go real real slow or the saw will break the end of the tile.

Fortunately , for me, my hubs had learned this trick and taught me.
Unfortunately, for him, he learned the hard way.

And that, my friends, is all there is to it!
I will say, our floor tiles are 20 x 20.
Our tiles for our kitchen backsplash are 4 x 4.
We would use our Lil’ Boy Wet Saw for the little tiles and not the Big Bad Boy Giggle Saw.
Blessings to you! You are loved!

Edited to say:
Some people might wear Safety Goggles. I didn’t.
No one I know that cuts tile – really does.
But, if you cut tile – I should say wear goggles – your eyes will thank you.
Mine never thank me. Some people might wear safety gloves. I didn’t.

House of Hepworths
you are a funny girl! with a good looking manicure & some great looking tile & that saw – I’ve never seen such a tough looking saw! 😉
Oh. My goodness.
You, my dear, are a riot! A riot.
I wouldn’t know the first thing about using the Bad Boy Giggling Wet Saw.
*snort*
That name seriously cracks me up!
Looks like fun! I wish I had a tile saw. I definitely need to work on my tool collection, and since I plan on ripping out my (as yet uninstalled) peel and stick in a few years and putting down ceramic, a tile saw would definitely come in handy.
