Finally got the hang of cutting those tiny subway tile corners
For my first bathroom in our old Charlotte house, I'd just smash the tile with nippers and hope for the best, which looked pretty rough. After watching a YouTube video from 'Tile Coach' about using a wet saw with a 45-degree guide, I practiced on some scraps and the difference is night and day. What's your go-to trick for getting those inside corners to line up perfectly?

Night and day" for a bathroom tile corner seems like a bit much.

Flip it around and argue that smashing with nippers is 10x faster and looks fine if you take your time. I used to overthink corners and spend 20 minutes getting a perfect fit, but on a full bathroom wall you'll never tell the difference from three feet away. @kevin331 I bet your cheap guide still leaves gaps on uneven walls, right? Half my tiny gaps disappeared with a simple sanding stone and some patience, no special equipment needed.

Honestly, I was the same with my first backsplash, just hacking away. Tbh, a cheap angle guide for the wet saw changed everything for me too.
