Steam room-Bisazza 10mm graduated blend

[Kyle Knowles]

I have a Bisazza glass cutting diamond blade and Nepolit glass nippers but only on curved or angled edges otherwise no cuts.

What wet cutter is the blade in ?

Its a small blade for a grinder, and I wouldnt try cutting paper faced mosaics on a wet cutter

You use a slower speed on the grinder for cutting Sharon....

are you asking or telling? I have a variable speed grinder or I use my cordless one, which is less brutal than a corded one, for site work. I need to find a 110v one someday.

Asking in a roundabout way

how do they justifiy that price for that size blade?
the diamonds must be from tiffany's ;0)
mind you, the price Sharon is probably getting per m2, then its all relative isn't it.

Everything with Bisazza written on it is expensive but good quality. Its the best glass blade Ive come across and being so small its great for curves.

Lol. I used to work in the packaging design industry and was a graphic designer and later a mock up artist.

That i have an artistic background too.
In fact, i have wondered how many tilers are drawn to the trade because it has both a physical and artistic aspect...

 

[Kyle Knowles]

Personally I was crap at art but technology was my thing

 

[Kyle Knowles]

If I went to school that was lol

 

[Aston]

I like the variation of tiling, dont get me wrong, you can work hard and on angles that hurt the knees and back but its nice to be able to do a trade that requires you to use your brain and creativity as well as your muscles..

Thats a good point made by impish, 3 house points and go to the top of the class ;0)

Speaking of class, lets get back to the thread. Keep up the amazing work sharon, i'd certainly pay to learn mosaics fron you!
