Knapping Floor Tile

mullet:
Looks good, Patrick.

JacksonCash:
All I know is that the linoleum stick on tile the old owners left in my house doesn't knap for beans.

Buy a few small samples. It should be cheap. Even if you had to buy a few square feet, it would still be cheaper per point than most stone. If you have not knapped any slab material, it would be good to study a tutorial or watch a few videos on how to tackle it. Experiment. I have knapped a few pieces of floor tile, and it was fun to work and made nice points. I never knew what specific type it was, because I dug it up in the yard. The finish looked a lot like Patrick's, no gloss, and the flakes did not travel as well as good stone or glass, but it was still good stuff to work.

Sometimes you can get the (broken in shipment) and left
 over cut pieces given to you for free.
Look for the tile cutting saw at Lowes or Home Depot.
If there is a lot of scrap, ask the associate from the tile area
for some.
Usually they feature an inexpensive tile at the front of the
tile section. Many boxes with broken tile.
Also get to know some installers. They are often shopping in
 the tile area. They like to get rid of their scrap and have tile
from different sources.
