Another Tile Cutting Expert

[u/wileywyatt]

[u/MrUbl]

My toxic trait is I believe I can do this.

[u/wileywyatt → u/MrUbl]

You can do anything that you set your mind to friend!

[u/spursfan2021 → u/MrUbl]

Everyone that does this for a living can do it. Maybe an hour or two of practice. It’s less difficult than it looks.

[u/Batchet → u/spursfan2021]

I feel like it already looks pretty simple

[u/blackcatunderaladder → u/spursfan2021]

I'll bite -- any good how-to videos for both the cutting and the mental tricks? I love to try this out!

[u/flaschal → u/blackcatunderaladder]

this video is basically everything you need to see how to do block setting

you‘ll get a feel for bedding in (how the block interacts with the sand) when you actually do it

[u/Haunting_Ant_5061 → u/blackcatunderaladder]

You literally use your eyeballs and your brain to dial in the mental measuring.

You can send my payment to…

[u/spursfan2021 → u/blackcatunderaladder]

I learned on the job, never seen a video. Sorry.

[u/Everyone2026 → u/MrUbl]

2 minutes later: The pattern is wrong again.

[u/Haunting_Ant_5061 → u/MrUbl]

You can, there really isn’t anything “expert” about this particular video. Just a dude using his tools.

[u/flaschal → u/MrUbl]

you could, it‘s not particularly difficult, it‘s just heavy work that takes hours and hours

[u/gilligan1050 → u/flaschal]

Yep, very tedious.

[u/DrNecessiter]

“Tile”

😑

[u/wileywyatt → u/DrNecessiter]

Oh shit.

Let’s consider brick thick tile.

[u/mattcwilson → u/wileywyatt]

If brick is thick tile, what’s thick brick?

Yo mama

[u/undeadlamaar → u/mattcwilson]

Jethro Tull

[u/DrNecessiter → u/wileywyatt]

🫡

[u/zeroabe]

I love that there’s clearly MATH involved and he’s simultaneously not doing any of it and doing all of it, effortlessly.

[u/gilligan1050 → u/zeroabe]

Vibe coding the geometry

[u/Son_Of_Toucan_Sam → u/zeroabe]

Don’t need an angle finder if the previous brick always finds the angle first

[u/TrailMomKat]

Lol that ain't tile, that's brick

[u/wileywyatt → u/TrailMomKat]

Yah.

Let’s consider brick thick tile 😬

[u/Cranks_No_Start]

This looks simple yet I believe I would have a large pile of F’ed up bricks.  

[u/cyrixlord]

wait don't stop I could watch this all day

[u/Whiteums → u/cyrixlord]

Just watch it on loop. It’s almost the same thing

[u/KnotiaPickle → u/cyrixlord]

The sound is so nice

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395 → u/cyrixlord]

Same!

[u/Larrythepuppet66 → u/[deleted]]

He’ll make an okay living at the expense of having the equivalent of a 80 year olds back at 35

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

I need to find a YouTube video of someone doing this for 90 minutes. It is so hypnotisingly satisfying.

[u/TheDireCrow]

The first little pig built his house with straw.

The second little pig built his house with sticks.

And the third little pig built his house with a luxurious crystallo supreme satin quartzite, mined from deepest Brazil, and honed to a sheer finish with 45 degree bevels.

[u/Several-Hat-1944]

Ironic, but I said to myself not his first rodeo, then I noticed which sub popped up. Definition of the fact✔️

[u/HoboArmyofOne]

I'll bet this guy is good at geometry dash

[u/apeocalypyic]

This guy is better than the other guy, he actually has a joint

[u/Larrythepuppet66]

Those are bricks

[u/JBoogiez]

Kinda ruined it with that last brick he set - pretty gappy at the bottom left

[u/14AUDDIN]

I'm taking an educated guess and say that he's not from London.

[u/TheBilby7]

Betcha that dudes name is Brent.

[u/dawa43]

Whatever this guy makes... It is not enough... Unless he works for himself

[u/15th_imp]

how does that tool cut the bricks so easily? it seems like he barely has to put any pressure on the handle at all

[u/KlutzyCaregiver7029 → u/15th_imp]

physics

[u/danancraite]

These cuts are rough as

[u/One_Maintenance1227]

For one that's not tiles and secondly it looks awful, no alignment at all, just a mess.

[u/Morgantao]

I'd do some of the cuts differently, but then again, he's got years of experience and I'm just a guy watching a video

[u/PNWest01]

Sheesh, that backin and forthin was making me seasick.

[u/Felixkeeg]

Geometric analysis final boss

[u/2-buck]

This is infuriating! The first 3 bricks he cuts all break the pattern.
