Landberg Tile TV Every time I use wonder board in bathrooms the walls never straight or lever what can I do to just trowel the dam wall and make it nice ???
For a beginner like me, someone like you as a mentor is a treasure indeed! Thank you very much for your videos. I just began watching them this past Sunday or Monday. 🙏🙏🙏❤💐👍
What a great idea! Thx for sharing. I’ll try that out with a 200 sqft bath using 18” tiles coming up next week. This job has lots of curves and angles and I was sweating thinking about all the complicated cuts. Now I’m going to search your channel for best way to layout a wrap-around room. Thanks again
It's so funny, I'll watch you start to do something like this and jump ahead in my mind (I was going to add small pieces of cardboard to the rough cut template) but your method with the straight edge and parallel lines is simpler and, as you show, easy to transfer to the tile itself. The little triangle cutouts are another DiBlasi beauty. Wish I get you out here for that CA tile job. Schluter road trip.
mr diblasi you have great work on tile have seen several of your videos and man thats alot of work but you make it look excellent every time i wouldlove to learn the trade get food as you and get jobs would be great 🎉🎃
I love the trick I will use this trick to install wood and tile love this tile patter by the way I'm going to use this pattern on my house some day thank you for been here
That Tip with the straight edge is a good one. But ild love to see how you did the one at the first step of the stairs thats a nasty Curve to get spot on
Really? They had one of those Rubi bridge saws where I used to work and I thought it was crap compared to the Dewalt D24000. The Rubi just had no torque. You had to cut everything in multiple passes. I did everything I could to avoid using it.
@@eggsaladsamich7396 yeah and we got to the same place with our dewalts not cutting straight and that was why I was forced to use the rubi. Then we brought it up to the owner at a Monday morning meeting and we all decided to send all the dewalts into the local service center to be adjusted and it was so nice to have them cutting straight again.
I’ve been a tile tradesman for forty two years Sal, so, while I appreciate your mastery of the skills, I have to ask, what’s up with those casing undercuts?
Sal, I should fly you out here to Calgary Canada. My husband is extremely particular, he can spend all day on our bathroom project and get 4 or 5 tiles done. We have 32 boxes of eight tiles to do ( ~200 tiles). That is going to take him 6 month if he doesn’t quit for a few years like other things he’s started. He continually has me cleaning all his spatulas, trowels, and mixer. Is there any medicine to give him that will help or should I be the one on meds?
Sal, I think your videos are wonderful, helpful, and much appreciated by the community; however, in this particular case, would you not just undercut the door jamb?
Hi Sal, what are you using to mark your tile that doesn't come off with the wet saw? Also, if a wet saw is making tiny chips in the tile along the cut line (my tile is glazed ceramic), is this due to the blade being dull or not good enough to begin with?
Just a pencil, the type and quality of the wet saw and blade will make a huge difference on the outcome of the cut. Try dressing the blade and checking to see if the blade is out of round or if it wobbles. ruclips.net/video/K2jrMctXvqQ/видео.html
Hi Sal I already finished wall tiles, install 12 x 24 inches and 1/3 horizontal , my question is bull nose tiles 3 x 12 inches, should I match the grout line or I don't have to. Which is look better???? Match the grout line to the wall tiles or not???
So heres a question do you know how to re zero an old tile saw? We have some that cut up to a 3/16ths off from square and they are almost useless to us now
You need to fix the studs before you install your board, that means furring and planing the studs as needed. If you use foam board you can wetshim. ruclips.net/video/VIVLnhgJafY/видео.html
Good tip Sal, what happened to dibsmart? I tried to go on to order some more PLM clips and I couldn't find it, like it's not there anymore. Did you take the sight down?
I’m sorta confused why not just trace the cardboard on the tile. don’t quite understand using the straight edge or what you mean by opposite side? Thanks
@@jimb9825 No because you use the ruler to transfer the actual cut lines onto the tile. See 8:52, Sal places one side of the ruler on the line on the cardboard then he traces a line on the tile using the other side of the ruler.
Sal, thank you for sharing your many tips. It is always a pleasure to watch a tradesman that has mastered his craft.
👍😊
Very cool trick. I really like this design with the planks. Very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We will have to try it soon.
Yes, iut is a lot of work though.

Brilliant tip thanks for sharing

Welcome! And Thanks
Thank you Brother really needed this .
You are very welcome
Good thing you marked that "X" on there otherwise you might have cut away the whole tile and only had the jamb left!
Force of habit
Great tip Sal....love your vids

I haven't tried that rubi so I dont know I am a big fan of the dewalt but every1 we have isnt cutting straight
@@eggsaladsamich7396 yeah and we got to the same place with our dewalts not cutting straight and that was why I was forced to use the rubi.

Great !
AWESOME JOB !!!! has to be a very $$$$ install how much ????
DAN THE MAN what it is worth and not a penny more! Capisce? Am I right Sal ?
I’ve been a tile tradesman for forty two years Sal, so, while I appreciate your mastery of the skills, I have to ask, what’s up with those casing undercuts?
So you don't undercut?
Yes, I undercut. They just seem like they’re cut too high. I don’t mean to be critical. I appreciate the effort it must take to film your work.
So simple but SO effective! Good job, Sal - btw, did you get a new HD camera? Everything looks so crystal clear in this video.
Same camera
What mortar type do you use ontop of kerdi? and under Kerdi?

Believe it or not, you are not alone. Maybe you should start a support group. 😜
No way Mr. Diblasi, there are a way that you can do it more easily.
Sal, I think your videos are wonderful, helpful, and much appreciated by the community; however, in this particular case, would you not just undercut the door jamb?
You can undercut the trim (which was already done here) but you still have to cut the tile to fit around the bottom plate.
Maybe you should watch the video again.
@@SalDiBlasi my apologies sir. Your work is a standard that we all strive for. Cheers
Good ! But it is take long time to do! Let see how long does it take you to finish job and how much money you can get!
This is just for the more difficult cuts, not for all of them.
May I ask what is the orange layer call please? I want to learn more about it sir

Hey sal thanks for the truck 👍🏼 !!! That's a old picture of you ? How long ago lol
I see you got yourself a set of ProKnees
Had them for some time now.
hi sal, what knee protection do you use? from uk. ( a mat is not as mobile as good knee pads, but i struggle to find anything comfortable...
Proknees
you ever need to find help lmk i live in FR got a car im a handy man and would love to learn the art

If the bullnose is the same length or width of the tile, then best to match, if not the same, then you really don't that option.
@@SalDiBlasi Thanks for your reply
So heres a question do you know how to re zero an old tile saw? We have some that cut up to a 3/16ths off from square and they are almost useless to us now
Contact the manufacturer, most saws have adjustment screws.
@@SalDiBlasi thank you sir!
Great to know! I have the same problem with our current wet saw.

Sorry, closed it down.
@@SalDiBlasi ok man, sorry to hear tha...I'll get ahold of Mark at CD. I don't know if they carry them or not.
How do you like that rubi bridge saw
Great saw, don't often need it, but it is worth having it for really big tiles.
@@SalDiBlasi been thinking of switching from a 10" to a bridge saw
@@dustinscroggins3382 I would say keep both, I have 6 wet saws, two of which I use the most, but they all come in handy for something during the year.
@@SalDiBlasi i think your right sal.
I do wish montolit would make there saw available in the us and in 120 volts have you seen there 10 inch wetsaw
I’m sorta confused why not just trace the cardboard on the tile. don’t quite understand using the straight edge or what you mean by opposite side? Thanks
Because the cardboard is rough cut to fit around the obstacle and then the ruler is used to mark the exact profile of the cut.
Nick Garwood but if the ruler is 2in wide doesn’t that make everything off?
@@jimb9825 No because you use the ruler to transfer the actual cut lines onto the tile. See 8:52, Sal places one side of the ruler on the line on the cardboard then he traces a line on the tile using the other side of the ruler.
Thanks Jim B
Hey Sal r u in Florida. And how can I shadow you,so I could learn from the best?

How come you people can't say the word "mark?" It sounds like "mock." Try saying "Don't mock Marky Mark."
