I spent a couple months building road crates for an entertainment rental supplier and my favourite part was gluing in the automotive carpet lining. There were some cool tricks like this to get in all the corners.
As a floor layer, this is not magic. As a fresh journeyman, I did hot cuts with 1/8 inch tile for a week at a shopping mall build. I wish I had such an easy task as this.
you can feel when the blade goes from the tough backing into the pile below, where it doesn't really do any damage, well before it reaches the backing underneath the bottom layer.
I enjoy watching people who are good at their job. Except those annoying ice cream people who pull the cone away. Once is okay, after that I won't enjoy the ice cream any more.
Okay, this dude is my hero and I want to study his ways. I don't have a damn thing to do with flooring installs but this fella clearly knows his business.
The key here seems to be making all cuts parallel to the sides of that square. Notice he always cuts in a straight line towards himself, never at an angle.
I don't think that matters as the important part is where the cut is started, not where it ends up. I think he just cuts straight towards himself because it's easier than cutting at an odd angle where you're more likely to slip.

The math checks out.

I didn't realize that when you did it like a boss that you get your own background music as well.

The song is a plus.

Anyone else have Calculus flashbacks when they saw the triangular shapes being cut to fit a round a circular object or is that just me?
Fulustreka
I do! I studied those stuff at school and nowadays I couldn't use them 🤡

The word you're looking for is 'pro' - not boss.
Fulustreka
Yeah, also pro.

I've seen how he did it, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't replicate that quality.

I hope he didn't cut both layers when he folded them over
Fulustreka
We can't see from here.

Iamnotawildturkey
I think it’s okay, even though we can’t see- that blade looks sharp so it probably cuts juuuust right.
Manhoarder
and then you try to do the same and cut thought both layers or slice through the other piece while cutting the round part.
Fulustreka
Me too but I guess he knows exactly the carpet's thickness. That's why!
pinkmansaidthebest
Nice. I'm floored.

Works well with ceramics too.

Fulustreka
At least you would be polite declining. I would throw it on the floor.
StevieTheAussie
Yeah even once would be too much for me, I’d just leave. Maybe walk past later with an ice cream I bought somewhere else.

I like carpet Tile, but these are super thin. Can it still be considered Tile is it is as thin as denim?
Fulustreka
I guess it considered carpet because of the function and the materia it is made of.
Leokerr
In this configuration the are akchtually called carpet tiles. Tiles as in they are square.
Fulustreka
The tiles might be just a modern way to use carpet, who knows...

Homie, he's just slicing it so that he can bend it around the curve. A circle is just a polygon with infinite sides.

flexistraw
Agreed. The efficiency is in cutting toward himself, not for safety but for cyclical strength.
