How can I safely break tiles?
Hello. I have a quite unique art project in mind but I want to be safe in doing so. I’d like to break tiles into tiny little pieces and then glue them to a bare globe to make the shape of the world’s continents… how can I do this safely, from breaking the tiles into bits and shards to applying them to the globe. I’d encase the globe after or keep it in a high place so no one tries to spin it and cut themselves. Maybe it’s just a year and a half of this pandemic, has driven me to boredom haha, I am retired so I’m trying to find new hobbies. Anyway, I won't use up any more of your time. Kind Regards.

Tiling my new bathroom
I’m going to be moving into my first home later this month and the bathroom is the only dated section of the house. I’m going to remove the tiles myself but i’m a little frustrated because the tiles encase the bathtub. Is it possible to remove tiles that are on the bathtub base and then get them redone professionally or would it be safer to remove the wall tiles myself and leave simply just those ones?
