"I have 10 years of ceramic tile installation experience. Today I am going to show you how to make a toilet cut. This is a fun cut, the toilet cut. It sounds fun, doesn’t it? What we are going to do is we are going to cut straight lines. We can do this because the toilet is going to cover around greater part of this area. So we are just going to cut straight lines through to sections of the line there and we will do that right now. Hold it up on these cuts, this type of interior cuts always like to have a 90 degree cut to the surface of the cut, or even greater than 90 degree. I think that's what we’re seeing probably here. I would not know because I cannot see the camera angle, because I am cutting tile, not sitting in a studio overdubbing. Okay we have done that now so we are just going to break these bigger pieces off. Take it nice and easy. See that? It just breaks right to the corners. Remember we can do all this because all this is going to be covered by an inch or two. Now I am just going to take a dry blade make some rough cuts. Go slow with this thing, don’t go too fast. It will heat up and pop right off. Remember we can do this because it is going to be covered. I use two hands on this one. Okay. Alright. For what this is being used for, this is good. It’s kind of rough, but remember where it is going, and it is good enough for there."
