Vinyl floor tile

[Bishop]

We have a very good friend that was redoing some of his office space and was redoing the floors. He had some pieces left and ask if we could do anything with them. We are posting them here to ask what you thing of them. We did go to a floor covering store and pick up a few different colors to add to some of the pictures. We glued the finished picture to black foam board and then mounted them in a frame. Hope you like them.

Hi Homer and Carol:

That is just insane - in a very very good way

Talk about thinking outside the box

 

Do you realize what you just did to my brain

It hurts cause it's spinning so fast

Thanks for showing us

Lot of new and unique ideas being shown here lately.  This a great one.  Who would have thought,,,,.

[Rob]

Wow.  Very creative.  What are they like to cut?

Interesting idea for sure.  Beautiful work.  Like Rob, I am curious as to how they cut and if you were concerned at all about the dust from them.  Did you determine the materials they were made from in order to determine the "safety" of cutting them?

I AM VERY, VERY....IMPRESSED....  WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT OF USING FLOOR TILES?  NOT I. 

NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR PROCEDURES.  YES? 

OVER ALL I REALLY THINK YOUR DISPLAY OF FRAMED PORTRAITS ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. 

AND ALSO YOUR CRAFTSMANSHIP IS DIFFERENT AND LOOKS GREAT.  WELL DONE YOU TWO............Danny  :+}

I would has thought of that.,... In a another hundred years … ,That is nice work I bet there will be run on tile storesðŸ‘

[Ron Johnson]

Awesome ... All very beautiful.

Really good idea!  I think the tile has the look of stone or mineral, and looks especially good in the landscapes.  Personally, did not care for the look when used in the animal portraits.  But, that's just me.

Hi Thomas:

This is what is great about these

There is something for everyone

For me it's just the opposite

They all look great,

but the wolf is what really caught my eye

Can you imagine how boring life would be

if we all liked and did the same things

You always did have a keen eye for making something from nothing .Top job! Welcome back!

[Bishop]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I talked to the guy at the floor store before we cut the tiles and he said there should be no problem. He also ask the rep from one of his suppliers.

The tiles are easy to cut as they are only abt. 1/8" thick. We used a #7 skip tooth blade and ran the saw very slow. The tile is plastic and will melt if you run the saw to fast.

We have a small rotary tool that runs on low voltage dc, from a charger. It is slower and does not throw a lot of dust around.

You can also remove small areas by pulling it past the scroll saw blade, from the back to the front. We also do this when using 3/4" thick wood.

Homer & Carol this is a different idea looks great, bet your clothes are covered in white powder from them tiles instead of saw dust.   Roly

[Bishop]

Roly

Not so much as you would think as you run the saw very slow and it doesn't make much dust.

Homer & Carol

[Bpardue]

very nice and interesting idea

[wombatie]

Oh WOW they are so impressive.  I saw something like this years ago but not this good.  I love the wolf, exception work.
