Hi Dunia! Awwwww, thanks for your kind words! GREAT to hear you're learning lots on your new mosaic journey! Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Another great video! The wheel nippers are definitely my favorite. I would love to see a video on using tile nippers. I have a much harder time using them.
Hi Ann! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Wheeled glass nippers are so good! Love 'em! As for tile nippers, you're in luck....I did a video not too long ago on them. You can see here it: ua-cam.com/video/lMD676RDc3Q/v-deo.html. Keep creating Ann! I'm glad you're here.
Hi NancyAnn! Yay!! I'm glad to hear that. The more you use them the easier and more familiar you'll be. As I mentioned in the video, they're my fave!💗 Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!🔥
Hi Elizabeth! YAY! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! Welcome to the world of mosaic. We've been waiting for you!😂 Soak it all in and have fun! Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!🔥
Hi Randa! Great to hear you're getting some useful info from my videos. Getting started is the best thing you can do. One tool, one piece of material and just cut it. You're not looking for perfection, you just want to get started and get comfortable. Have fun with it. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!
Hi Susan, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying my channel. I did a video on how to cut mirror which you can view here: ua-cam.com/video/tXRYG-TRrwk/v-deo.html. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!
I used your link and can see the nippers, but I don't see a price or a way to put them in my cart to buy them. I've been looking for a good quality set. Cheap tools are a long-term exercise in frustration.
Hi Mike! I feel your pain.🙈 So when you click on the nippers link, look over on the right side of the screen and click on 'See All Buying Options.' This will take you to a page showing all of the current vendors who are selling these nippers. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥
Hi Debbie! A smaller tessera has a greater chance of cutting straight. What tesserae are you working with? It takes practice....and even then, there's always a chance of a wavy line. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher Hi Julie. Was thrilled to hear from you. Started watching your utube videos a couple of months ago and have learned so much. Thank you! My problem is with stained glass and mirror. If I have a big sheet of stained glass and want to cut in small strips. … my strips always crack before it gets to the end Also when I nip mirror with nippers I can never get it to look straight… hence the little waves on edge. I guess it is a practice thing. I’m new to mosaic but love it. Keep up your videos. I love the bloopers too😆
Hi Summer! Yes, many versions of wheeled glass nippers can be adjusted. If your's is one that can, there would be a small bar or clip in the area where both handles meet (under the wheels). You can adjust the bar or remove it all together. For instance mine aren't adjustable but open to 1/2" wide. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🙌
Hi Lynn, there should be a pin up towards the head/wheels of your nippers which can be removed. That will open up the jaw and allow you to cut bigger tessera. They install the pin initially to keep the handles closer together to make it easier to hold & squeeze. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!
Julie I bought 2 different wheeled nippers regular and compression for heavier work but the compression ones hardly open at all so it’s really difficult to get the glass or stone in to cut. Is there a way to open the distance between the wheels ?
Hi Lynn, it sounds like you need to adjust the thickness lock. You should see this on the backside of the nippers. Use a screw driver to loosen the screw (your nippers may have come with one!), adjust the blade opening where you want it, and then tighten the screw. Hope that helps!
Hi Trisha! Keep checking their website. I see that they're currently out of stock....which happens from time to time. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥
I have a question what's your take on those very expensive new wheeled Nippers from Australia I believe I forget the name of them. And are lipponett still your favorite?
Hi Alice! There are tile resources listed in the description below the video. You can also watch this video (ua-cam.com/video/u4UEVrlJxCA/v-deo.html) which talks about 25 places to find mosaic tesserae. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Hi Amelia! There are different types of adhesive for different types of mosaic. Selecting the appropriate adhesive depends on a number of factors. What mosaic are you thinking of making? Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Julie...I'm new to your site. Just bought wheeled nippers and the wheels turn when i move my finger over them, is that normal? I tried tightening them with the Alan wrench it came with that didn't work.
Hi Loren! Take the wheels off completely and start over. Hopefully the factory just put them on wonky. They shouldn't move. What brand are they? Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher I found better ones at Home Depot and took back the pair from Harbor Freight...thank you for clarifying that the wheels should Not move.plus I also bought the compound nippers at Home Depot love how easily they cut. Thank you for your very informative site!

Hi, love your channel! What is the measurement of the garden stake?
Will these cut winckelmans? Im finding compound nippers to big for my hands to shape & the seabell wheeled are glass only.
