question for those that have used nipper tool for cutting tiles
Comments (10)I, too, have arthritis in my hands - primarily in the joint between my thumb and hand. My solution is a small wet saw (haven't tried it on plates, yet), Dremel for sanding edges and for cuting some smooth shapes and two different sizes of tile nippers (neither wheeled). For plates, I use the largest nippers to make 'rough' cuts - sort of getting the general shape I want, then the smaller pair for gradually refining the shape by taking little nips. I prefer to use the wet saw for tiles since some of them are so hard. I also use the nippers with one handle in the palm of my hand away from the sore joint. Looks a little strange, but my hands last longer! I haven't forayed into stained glass yet. Too big a stash of plates, tile and projects for them! pj - if you need to nip some pieces you can get a liquid product at HD and Lowe's that you dip the handle in and create a new rubber coating. I **think** several dips would produce a thicker more comfortable handle that would last longer. HTH, Pat...See MoreNeed Input from those who have cut bath tile down in size
Comments (7)I am doing the same thing but with 12 x 12 tiles cut down to 6 x 12 size in carrara and laid in herringbone pattern. I have not asked my tile guy how much more it will be in labor yet but I only have two options to do because the $5.70 sq ft pricing is hard to beat for honed carrara. So I am stuck with offseting the 12 x 12 tile or cutting to 6 x 12 and doing the herringbone pattern. I really think I will end up with the herringbone unless my tile guy says his labor will be too pricey. I think it will be OK though. He has been fair so far....See MoreQuestion about cords/cables

A small portion (your splice) should be OK, just make sure it doesn't short-out, some adapters are high-power (watts)....See MoreQuestions - on cutting laminate, phone cable and something else
Comments (12)an update - sort of... I was going to HD today for telephone wire. before i left my BIL came by to pick up their small tv. he offered to move my computer over but I told not yet - no phone hook up in new place for it yet and told him I was going shortly to HD to get the wire etc. and guess what he has a bunch of up in his garage? yep. the wire to go from the company hook up into the house. He said when their house was built the guys left it there. So i'm going to pick it up in a day or 2. the laminate - I've been looking at saws and am thinking maybe the dremel trio would work? have to check it's website. the info on HD site isn't clear enough. and I'm watching some online videos on putting this stuff down. at least with the dremel I'd have other usesx for it when done with the flooring. and it's lightweight. some of those saws I couldn't even hold up. I do have a hacksaw but that's probably not what I should use. I got the glass cleaned up and the mattress down. I took my old girl over today to let her get used to it. She finally stepped up on the mattress, walked across it and off the other side - sliding down to the floor and just lying there. At least it wasn't a distance down to injure her. I then got my comforter out, folded it over and put down next to her side of the mattress. I think the give of the mattress doesn't work with her own unsteadiness these days. But, injury getting up and down from it will be much more limited now. for her - not so sure about me - lol!...See MoreMichael
