Learn to cut glass into shapes.

[@radicalsr8912]

You sir are not only a master at your craft, but a master educator as well. As others have said - if only more KZbin videos were this well thought out and done. I didn't really even have an interest in this particular how to video (it started playing by itself after a different video) but your teaching method made me stop what I was doing and watch the entire video. Very, very well done.

[@timwilcox960]

Absolutely superb - if only all KZbin videos were this good. A rare golden needle in a haystack of mediocrity - thank you!

[@drumalone9312]

Thanks for the kind words Tim. I am glad you found it helpful.

This has been the best glass breaking tutorial that I have watched. I understand now how to get my shapes and use my tools correctly. Thank you.

[@billstover2530]

Thank you so very much. Your instruction was clear, concise and the very thing I, as a self taught artist, have been searching for a long time! Thank you, again. God Bless!!!

[@patriciajaburek-mcrae4336]

A super video for those us just getting started.I am a retired math teacher and I can say you teach in a relaxed manner which makes me feel more relaxed about being able to cut glass. A+ for sure. Thanks

[@timallen6025]

Wow. You are a natural teacher, how clear and encouraging.. I’ve winged it enough with barely acceptable hit n. It’s over the years but this is so much better,, thank you . And you show the tools really clearly ..

[@shadapple]

Finally, a great beginner vid!! Awesome job with your descriptions sir, you're a blessing, and I couldn't thank you enough.

[@kelleyh8906]

Definitely the best tutorial I’ve seen on breaking glass thank you!

[@BlaiseMibeck]

These videos are valuable as examples of how to teach. Thanks! You make the teaching look as easy at the glass work -- totally impressive!

[@glassetchingcream4023]

In this tutorial, a professional glass cutter teaches you how to use the cutter correctly and cut glass. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn67kJqfncegaNk

[@tkdrgnon]

Oh that's a great explanation but not many of us can draw a line so smoothly as you can with your masterful steady hand. I'm extremely impressed. I've been cutting glass for 20 years for projects that I edge and you make it seem so easy.

[@allanmercer8044]

Excellent demonstration. Excellent teaching. As neophyte wearing glasses, I can see what you have taught me. Thank you.

[@s.r.thenurse1125]

You are an amazing instructor! Thank you for refreshing everything I’ve forgotten.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Amazing! You have sensitive hands. I would not have believed you could do this with glass had you not done the demo. Very informative, many thanks!

[@Shybairnsgetnowt1]

I thought exactly the same thing! He makes it look so easy, but after what I imagine is years of practice it probably is.

[@marzof7470]

Thank you. Very helpful. Bought my first glass cutter. Now I'm going to show the world what I'm made of... lol

[@OMIMreacts]

i am so glad we have masters like this teaching us on youtube!

[@Toms3200]

Superb ! Amazing skill. Very professional.

[@mydemon]

Don't know how I ended up here but it was pretty fantastic

[@Nocholas]

This is exactly what I was searching.

[@tracieperdue4653]

I must've followed your path somehow to here 😂 Pretty interesting.

[@lenvadal8558]

One of the better instructions I have seen to cut a shape, thanks.

[@lourias]

Excellent video. Outlined properly. No frivolous chatting all if your thoughts during the recording. Excellent things to remember... great use of numbered points, orderly. I wish everybody on KZbin would follow these steps for How-to videos.

[@gregskinner8550]

Sir, You are an excellent teacher. Your short video is one of the best I have seen. I do many different types of things and watched many vids. WELL DONE and Thanks

[@missprissjenna]

I agree I learned a few things that other videos have not mentioned

[@marylawrence8537]

I stopped in your shop a couple weeks ago and talked to you! I am pleased to watch your video. It was very helpful.

[@Shybairnsgetnowt1]

Brilliant, thank you. I’m at the very beginning of my glass cutting ‘journey’ and have been trying to teach myself. Unfortunately I haven’t had much success (!) but after watching this I feel very optimistic that I can at least get the basics right now. Much appreciated.

[@DolceVitaGurl]

Wow. Fantastic teaching. The best explanation of cutting glass I’ve watched yet.

[@lizzyseth4485]

Ok, Dru is awesome! I learned a lot!!!! Have done glass projects for years, but he has some very valid tips!!!!! Thank you Dru!!!!!

[@mirvovsemmire]

Thank you! Video is great! I've found very useful tips here! And demonstration at transparent glass is a very clear!)

[@ronmoffat570]

A superior methodology and description. Nothing better out there for a novice!

[@jpolowin0]

Thank you! I've been trying to cut some thin glass plates, and it hasn't been going as smoothly as I'd like. Now I have a better understanding of the principles.

[@shanesamson7833]

Thanks for showing us that cutting glass is do able.. Its wonderful to watch you calmly going about it..

He made a happy little art piece. He put it wherever he wanted to in his happy little world. 😆

Who's Bob Ross ?

[@lorrainehayes4688]

Excellent instruction. This is exactly what I needed to see. I do mosaic for a fun hobby, but I still want it to be really nice. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@anganmonroy7844]

Gracias por compartir, aunque no hablo inglés, se entiende su trabajo, excelente. Saludos desde México.😃👍

[@RBRM3]

Thanks for uploading, I don't have any special pliers, I always used a laser or machine guided with special diamond bits. I recently got some handheld cutters and wasn't sure how to use the notches/wheel etc. So thanks for the tips... Most people think the harder something is, the more pressure and sharper it needs to be. When something is harder, it can break or shatter more easily such as tempered. Tempered glass is stronger and won't break as easily for sure, or in as sharp tiny pieces. It has different challenges in my experience. Its basically the same and i just go slower and score of the glass more.

[@nirateller5603]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You answered some questions i had about cutting glass and i am grateful.

[@yvonnegathing3634]

Thank you so much for your expertise in glass cutting. This is just what I needed. Blessings.

[@gusandler6959]

Great video. I have been doing alot of learn as I go cutting. Made my crafts much less frustrating. Thanks

[@billbeechwood3996]

Well done! I applaud both your teaching and cutting techniques.

[@amyschroll]

Outstanding - I was able to watch this a couple of times before trying it on my own... with success! Thanks for posting such a great and informative video :)

[@cindyreynolds1002]

I’ve never known how much pressure or where to put my hands to make my glass break. After a couple attempts I gave up trying. I love your video and will try again. If I can finish my backsplash it will be because of your video Tysm!

[@RobMacKendrick]

Just watching this man in action I'm thinking... "That guy makes this look so easy and obvious that it's clearly nowhere near that easy and obvious." Nothing like watching a master craftsman at work. Thanks for the video!

[@davidbuchanan3374]

This is incredible. I broke 4 pains trying to cut them to fit my greenhouse and he's snapping glass is half circle's with little effort. What a skill. Great upload thank you for sharing 👍🍀😁

[@hughgraham317]

If you get cut with class dog nyam yuh supper. Use gloves, eyewear and other protection. We are watching an expert and he knows how to judge the result of each action.

[@JeremyRabbit]

Excellent information, excellent explanation, excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing Dru Malone!

[@stevehall4548]

I didn't think I would need to learn how to cut glass until this weekend. I was moving a secretary that belongs to my mother and ended up breaking the glass in one of the doors. The catch is that the corners of the glass are rounded. No worries any longer thanks to Dru!

[@timeenuf4200]

Great demo - was looking for just this information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, time and inspiration.

[@jongsookim636]

i have plan to cut the glasses almost 2meter shape line. and worry about that. luckyly i meet this video. you are the best teacher on glass cutting. appreciate!

[@dachungtsering9312]

Terpatine is the oil that they used

[@heyitsrick01]

Excellent description of the process. Other videos show you & say nothing, which doesn't help much... This was great... Thank you

[@brizaca]

muchas gracias me encanto la manera en la que explica y la forma de hablar de esta persona tambien si pueden decirme si hay mas videos, muy buen material, se agradece

[@ritalittle4838]

Found you by accident. Very informative. You’re an excellent teacher.

[@TheAnglebaby10]

wow that was so good you made it look so easy thankyou for showing the tools needed

[@taleiradikeblake2667]

I learn alot, I now know how to cut properly, thanks, all the way from Fiji

[@Kestrel-Voron]

he makes it look so easy...because he knows exactly what he is doing , lovely explanation i might try it somedayeverything makes sense the way he explains it.

[@Alypinkflower]

Thank you..now I'm not afraid of cutting glass. You made it very simple

[@edition-deluxe]

Great video mate! You are a good teacher; thanks for the lesson!

[@carlaconidi408]

I'm sure this video would have been much more instructive with sound, but still learned what I needed.

[@walkingwater893]

Definitely the most challenging step of creating s. glass. If one does not know these tips, one will spend too much time on the grinder. 😂 Excellent and necessary info. Thanks...

[@lindakrutsky9716]

Thank you this has come in handy for me, I will be getting me a nice handy glass cutting and pinch pliers, cheers

[@dennis270]

Excellent teaching insight. Better than others I have viewed. Thank you.

[@russwalls8947]

I for one a.m. extremely impressed but what you are able to do freehand with so much ease

[@GothKittyKisses]

Thank you very much for this information. I am new to glass working and found your video to be just what I was looking for! You did a great job explaining the shape cutting process for me.

This is so clear and useful - just what I needed to know what tools I need to buy. Thank you.

nice video and quite helpful you are good teacher sir.

So easy to follow and lister to, clear instructions. Did you do video on very small areas, small half circles thank you

[@aktreehouse]

Nice job, Dru, star of stage and, well, screen! Very clear and concise; far superior to other videos I've seen. What's next?

[@toddburgess6792]

Good tutorial. Retired glazier gives thumbs up. Deaf people need not score? Never thought of that, but kinda true. They'd have a bigger learning curve, for certain.

[@mujiburr.9667]

Excellent quality tutorial, everything clearly explain.

[@1Patient]

Glazier Exam, never went to school, only working in the industry, I have to say your Video has given me more information on how to cut glass then I have recieved working 10 years in the industry.... we just don't cut glass, for the most part, we order our mirrors and glass units already cut, tempered, tinted, coated, and delievered... Industry Standard, but at School, they emphasize Glass Cutting Specialty Cutting, like it is what you are going to be exposed to out in the "Real" world....

[@AndreaStevens2012]

Thanks for posting, great video! I am not so good with the traditional glass cutter tool and am wondering if a sheet of glass could be cut using my rotary tool and a diamond coated cutting wheel, or would the speed be too much stress on the glass? I am fairly new to glass so any instruction or direction you may provide would be most awesome!

[@nohabs]

Thank you. I have never been successful cutting glass. I'm going to tuck this video away for future use.

[@tiggerbiggo]

Watch in 0.25 speed to truly absorb the captivating information.

[@AvgJane19]

🤣

[@theresevarney4715]

I see this is an old post. I also watched your soldering video. You are a wonderful teacher. Slow and easy to understand with perfect close ups. I wish you would make more videos. Not everyone can teach. I really feel confident since I understand what I am doing and why. I'm going to subscribe just in case you make more. I really think you are the best teacher on KZbin and I've seen a lot of videos. Big fan from Washington State 😃 🌲🌲🌲

[@elijahglenn4902]

You're are just not a teacher but a complete supernatural instructor...

[@reamingeva6655]

Thank you for your information. It was helpful. I am trying to cut a big piece into an octagon and I am, therefore unable to "hold" the big section with equal pressure as you have instructed. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

[@drumalone9312]

If you have a running plier use that. If not get one, they can be very handy in some situations.

[@avenuex3731]

This man is the Bob Ross of glass cutting.

[@misledprops]

How the hell does this guy do this so perfectly?! Very impressive. I have only failed at cutting glass, no matter how hard I’ve tried.

Thank you for sharing, Sir. It is so clear, simple and helpful !

[@1Patient]

I have been working in construction as a Glazier for approx. 10 years, Solid Commericial Experience, along with minimal Residential, have not had the opportunity to explore the Artistic Side of Glazing, especially cutting glass...I have cut plenty of mirror, and replaced many door lites, window replacements that involved cuting a square or rectangle piece, but not much emphasis on doing fancy cutting and shaped glass projects... I am currently positioned to do the practium part of the...

Beautiful! I´ve tried it out on my own before with random success... Very informative, even I understood:) Thank you!

[@grumpywoodiam]

Hi Drew, not wishing to be rude, in the video at 2.56 it states on the side of the cutter mitsuboshi. I was looking closely as I would like the best cutter for making some lampshades. Found your videos to be very concise and clear. Thanks, Wi

[@drumalone9312]

No problem because to my surprise you are right, that is a Mitsuboshi in my hand!!!.Please pass the crow. I sold those cutters for several years in the shop because they were considerably less expensive than the Toyo at the time but ABOUT the same quality. Not as good as a Toyo but about $10 less, then. Now they run about the same as a Toyo so I have not sold them for several years. Still have a few sitting around the cutting table waiting to use them up. With the foam cozy on them they are hard to tell apart. So good eye there Wi. Thanks for looking so closely. But my advice stands on the best cutters-Toyo. No matter what handle style you get they all share the same wheel except the TC-21. their tap wheel cutter. Although the tap wheel was designed for thicker glass some art glass craftsmen like it, Mainly for the handle. It has the most versatile handle in Toyos' line. Keep your cutter rolling, Dru

[@ChristopherAMacleod]

Thanks a lot for this information! Very useful to me!!

Excellently presented..tops

[@virizarry]

This is a great video! I just recently became interested in mosaics. I want to use ceramic/glass/etc plates for a project . Need to cut the plate border off without breaking it all into small pieces (the border is what I will actually use for the project. Probably in thirds or fourths). Your round cut here gives me a sense of how to tackle it but... any tips on how to do that on plates which are not smooth like the glass you cut here?

Very informative! Excellent video.
