Thanks for the video. It was exactly what I needed. I'm tiling a fountain today and although I've been tiling for 30+ years, have never tiled an arc like this. We mostly tile indoors. Backsplashes, feature walls...
That’s because whatever trade school you went to (I’m in Australia) dont properly teach radial and arc in your assessments. We don’t get qualified over here unless we can do this.
My hardscapers were dreading making these cuts on pavers for a fire pit I’m building. I’m forwarding your video to them! Thanks for sharing and beautiful work!
First I want to say what an awesome video and the following information that I have I don’t want it to be considered negative or condescending, but I do have a suggestion. Considering the radius and circle, and how true and perfectly round it is, wouldn’t it be wise to create a jig where you would be able to set up the three pieces of porcelain tiles in a row with spacers in between and then after calculating one row and the angle of cuts by the line between You could put this J piece of cardboard or a piece of wood but that shape right over the top of those three pieces score your line maybe by using a scowl and not a clay marker and you could zip through all of your pieces pretty quickly. Above all, thank you for the video incredibly awesome use of angles and I love your theory. Do it right or do it twice? I’m not certain if those were the words that you had used, but I can tell that you care about your product, the end result and the customer satisfaction and that’s the way each and every Contractor subcontractor anybody that works in a construction field should be doing their job. Myself I am a handyman that likes to do everything from drywall to snow removal to tile with paint and honestly anything I can fix. I love making things right. Got into fixing my kids toys and have had great success with remote control cars all the way to swapping out thermal conditioning units on PlayStation and installing antennas for better range. Whenever I do a job for anyone, my principal is I want them to feel like they got value out of the experience and that they’re satisfied with the results. I don’t get into a job looking just to make money and sometimes upfront I won’t charge for my time considering consultation or education about something that I’m familiar with. I feel like if that person decides to choose me for the task we will be way more likely to come to an agreement. Thanks for the awesome video here it’s fire. 🔥
@brasha78 Thank you for the well thought out comment 👌. And yes, your theory with a jig would work if this fountain was a perfect circle. If I had built it from the ground up, that would have been the easiest method. But since I tiled around an existing fountain, I found this to be the easiest method. Though it may be hard to see in the video, many of the cuts are drastically different from each other, which makes this method really shine 👍
@alexbull5838 Thanks, is the 7" Rigid Saw. It's lightweight, small for tight work spaces, and cuts up to 2' tile. It's around $300 and can handle daily use👍
Caution ⚠️ the idea 💡 is cool but you are placing you fingers too close to the blade, please 🙏 working on that aspect for safety reasons Thanks 🙏 again Good video Thought 💭
@@HowToTileLikeaPro from the video, it looks like you hands 🙌 are close to the blades so I say be on the safe side. Otherwise nice video I say, Safety First when it comes to power tools and sharp objects.

Thank you brother. I second this bc I worked on Rigid 10' and it was awesome except maybe she splashed water right in my eyes😅
@@alexbull5838 🤣 🤣
Que buen trabajo, muy prolijo.
Felicitaciones desde Argentina.
Muchas Gracias! 🙌🙌🙌💯💯 Argentina!
Did you try a chalk line to mark the tiles where you wanna cut?
Chalk wouldn't stick to this tile, since it's a high gloss to tile.
Looks good, what area do you work in?
Thanks bud! I work in all of San Diego County 👌

Good video

Glad you enjoyed the video! Appreciate the concern about my fingers, but tile blades are the safest around 👍 Any tile man would agree 💯
