Thank you for explaining the why’s of certain things that are usually never thought about it!

[@GommStainedGlass]

You're welcome, it's common knowledge once you learn it!

[@janetroberts6441]

Very informative! Things I never knew

[@GommStainedGlass]

Thanks!

[@GommStainedGlass]

Welcome! It was fun to do!

Wow thank you!!!! I learned a lot! I was told that i didn't need to oil, but now i understand why some don't and why I should. 😁

[@GommStainedGlass]

You can skip oiling when it causes a problem, but you get better results if you use oil.

Mr. Gomm, I am a beginner and am grateful for these videos. Thank you. I have one question that is making me crazy. When you make a score with your cutter there is a scratchy sound. Evidence that you are making a cut. I NEVER hear that when I'm scoring. It's so quiet I wonder if I'm even making a score line. I had thought perhaps it was because I'm using oil and you're not but this video disproves that theory. Am I not pressing hard enough? Not holding the cutter at the proper angle? Does it even matter? I struggle mightily with the cutting and breaking of my glass. I know it takes a lot of practice but it is very frustrating.

[@GommStainedGlass]

It could be that the oil you're using might be working so well that you can't hear the sound. I once had some glass that I was cutting and I comented to Jeanne who was in the next room, isn't that funny that when I score that glas, it doesn;t nake a sound. She said, what are you talkinb about I can hear it and I'm in the next room! Turjns out my hearin was damaged and I couldn't hear that frequency. If you'd like to try the oil that we use, go to our KZbin video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX-kZot9pqmVptE

@@GommStainedGlass LOL! That may be the answer for me as well sir. I never thought of that. I'm 71 and have hearing issues as well. Thank you for your response.

[@bertkutoob]

You answered your own question... Practice makes perfect... The softest whisper is what you're looking for... Eventually your fingertips will do the hearing for you...

nice

[@GommStainedGlass]

Thanks, this is knowledge that I've had for many years but just neglected to pass it on.

Also, I think the cutting wheel axel needs-gets oil. A friend of mine, who once worked at a glass company, told me that he’d seen many cutters fail due to not using oil, due to the friction on the axel.

[@GommStainedGlass]

That's true, oil helps to lubricate the wheel as well as the cut.
