Thanks man. You saved me a lot of wasted time tomorrow with the added extra advice: "never try to cut tempered glass". I have a shower screen to take to the recycling place and was going to buy a glass cutter and cut it in half to get it in the car. Turns out they're all tempered glass in Scotland as per the building regulations. Saved me a hell of a lot of hassle and I've learned n important lesson today. Subscribed 👍

I just wanted to drop by in the comments here and give this fella a HUGE round of applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 This video was precise and immediately got straight to the point. He said wat needed to be said, giving a brief demonstration of the steps as he went. His instructions were clear and simple, easily understood. Personally I really appreciate and value his brevity. Now adays it can be far too difficult to find a video that #1. Gets straight to the point #2. Gives clear, concise instructions #3. Doesn't over complicate everything #4. Doesn't waste my time and hold me hostage waiting for them to get thru all the "Predominantly Useless" makes and model sizes of every single tool , which stores carry the tools and sometimes a price Verses price comparison. Thank you 😊

@PhilCrockett

This is definitely an issue at times. The best answer is to practice doing this and most importantly to do the best at lining the score up on a very hard, square edge. I'm wishing I would have been more particular when I filmed the mirror part of this.... I kind of rushed through it because I usually don't worry too much about a perfect edge due to it being covered by a frame. I frame all my glass and mirrors. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question.

Nincadalop use kerosene along the straight edge before scoring, and put a pencil directly under the score. You only need about 2 inches of the pencil. When you press the outside of the glass, it will break perfectly. I am a professional glazer, and we only snap 3/8 or thicker glass because it leaves that nasty edge
