I learned more from you in 10 minutes than watching half an hour of other videos on the subject! Thank you for the lesson!

Tip 1 03:17 Only score the glass once. Repeating will dull the blade. Tip 2 03:42 Hold cutter 90 degrees vertically. If you tilt the cutter, the glass will break at an angle. Tip 3 04:15 Hold even pressure. Try to score across rather than from top to bottom. 05:18 How to break the glass. 05:48 Running pliers

No nonsense, a good teacher and a dash of humor. I like this woman.

You had me at the belt loops. Now I’m ready to cut some glass that I’ve been putting off because I really didn’t know how.

Love that kit-kat replay with the awkward return to instruction, and leaving that high pitched "there we go!" after the are cut. Great job, very helpful!👍🏻

HUGE thanks !

Thank you so much, very helpful

Excellent video. Thank uou so much.

Wow! Super awesome! Thank you!

This was an excellent guide to various techniques to cut glass & I also appreciated your subtle & skillful sense of humor.

Super cute and very informing. Thank you!

Great class. Thanks

This was very helpful, both the demonstration of the appropriate tools and how to achieve a curved cut.

Thanks for the video. Please consider emphasizing the tool names. I haven’t looked for the pliers yet but I’m fairly sure I’m looking for “running” pliers. Maybe “grosser” pliers? I tried to listen to that one several times.

I learned a lot today. Thanks!

Very good and to the point information. I'm making a career change and this is helpful in my research, keep up the good work and God bless you.

Thank you! That was amazing.

thank you for a great instructional video. beautiful instructor too

This was a great refresher video for me and I really like how clearly you explained how to break the glass

I really appreciated your video. I have watched several videos before this one even passed up watching this. The other videos I had so many questions as to why this why that what about this what about that. This is very confusing and then trying to watch five other videos and put them all together I still had so many questions and watching your video every question was answered. I would even begin to ask myself a question but you'd already be in the process of answering the question I was gonna ask . The most informative, easy to understand, you demonstrated what you were speaking of. While showing a variety of tools available explaining how they work, why they work the way they do. Not only for beginners but also for those who think they know the most about glass cutting. Thank you. When I have a few minutes of spare time soon, I'll be exploring your page too learn more about things I didn't know I needed to know. Thank you very much 10 stars. P.s. watching " how it's made" and other popular learning shows unfortunately did not answer any, ( not a single 1) of my questions. Good job!!!

Thank you for the information just what I needed

Wow! It looks so easy when you do it.

Good stuff!!! I messed up a lot of glass before watching you, now the cuts look great!!!

Well explained glass cutting tips. Like. Thanks you mam,

Helpful video. Thanks

thanx for tips...

I like the ever decreasing radii to get the cutaway you wanted. Neat , thank you very much😊👍

Thank you, that was very helpful…

Nice Thank you !

Just what I needed to see, thank you so very much.

Excellent teaching

That was excellent! Thank you! 🙏🔥🙏

Thanks! I learned a whole bunch about cutting glass with this one video, you make great videos. And belt loop getting hooked yup it's happened to me too

This was very helpful. I am an artist and I am going to start making my own frames and cutting glass for the frames. I cut my glass and did a fine job. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. I've been putting off finishing my fireplace tile project due to having to cut around the gas valve controls. But not anymore. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I am having problems with using pliers on curves. Duh yes cut many little curves to get the result I want. Will practice practice and practice. Looking forward to seeing more of your instructions.

Nice Work, and Great explanation.

Omgosh, yes, the door thing, I swear.... very few things set me over the edge of what I can emotionally cope with like that belt loop thing does. I have a major orthopedic injury to my lumbar spine and severe R.A., which makes little things like this absolutely maddening because I already don't move like l used to (36 yo newly single mother, too). I could've sworn I was the only person with this issue. Nice video, helps a lot with my DIY endeavors for home projects that now I'm on my own with... your details and examples are really helpful! Thanks!

Thank You 🖤 🤍

My hermies also thankyou for the to be lavish pools they will throughly enjoy "swimming" in. The kitkat sneak at the end made be giggle 😄

OMG, cutting those curves, you are the master! 👍 I just started learning cutting glass. I need to cut a thin strip (1" wide), 34" long out of my existing glass, 34"x41", to fit into a frame. (Successfully practiced cutting a few big wide pieces for now.) Any suggestion on how to carry out my real task?

excellent video - thankyou - and like the fun attitude also - do you have any videos on basic straight line cutting including what kind of matt or board or table to cut on and what kind of tools to use as a straight line edge - thanks vin

@heatherdawson4146

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Vin! No videos on cutting straight lines, but you can cut on any flat surface. Lots of artists use a grid surface to catch any little bits of glass. I've created a grid using plastic waffle grid or eggcrate panel for overhead lights, installed over a light table. But any flat surface works nicely. Sometimes I cut large sheets over a self healing cutting mat, as it has the grid measurements already on the mat, which makes it quick to cut straight pieces. (You can see the green surface of the cutting mat in the video) As for tools to get straight lines, lots of glass artists use a wooden T-bar, which I will likely upgrade to eventually. Right now, I just use a cork-back metal ruler. I do find that over time, the side of the ruler cuts into the metal of the cutter head and wears it down. Metal rulers are also fairly thin, which can lead to the cutter jumping up onto the ruler instead of staying on the glass. It's mainly about finding what works best for you! Try out different things and use what feels right in your hands. 🤓

This was very helpful for modifying the glass on my aquarium canopy. Also, there are few inconveniences that spark my ire to an irrational level like having my belt loop catch on a handle triggers. ;)

Nice!!

Do you have to sand the cut edge at all or is it safe to handle without?

I hate it when my belt loops do that! Thanks for sharing the cutting tips.

Heather, I have a piece of frosted glass a foot square which needs a quarter of an inch off one side. So, how would you remove this piece of glass that is 1 foot by a quarter of an inch?
