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 😊

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 👍

Go to a glass shop and ask for some free large pieces of broken glass. Then practice on them. I had a job in college working for University greenhouses, and I learned how to cut glass there.

@PhilCrockett
@PhilCrockett 8 жыл бұрын
hmmmmmm.....that's a tough one. it all depends on the length. You could make it more than an inch by sandwiching and clamping a couple boards, or wide rulers on the short piece and try the table edge method. you really just need even leverage.

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

That's so cool. I found an old glass cutter just light that. It says Shaw England on the side and it is pretty rusty. The cutter part is rusty.

These things are cheap enough, probably best to get a new one instead of using a rusty one.

New years early am and I’m watching a concise video on how to cut a mirror because some sloppy drunk guests broke 2 6’x3’ bathroom mirrors I’d gotten off a neighbour remodeling. Managed to stop them from completely shattering them but now need to trim the broken corners off.

The only way I have ever cut a mirror is by scoring and snapping it off with my gloved hands or, if it's a narrow cut, I use the tool to snap off slivers using the gaps in the backside of the tool head

Awesome video! Quick question though. I have a mirror with a mirror trim glued/adhered to the outside edge of it. I would like to get rid of the trim as it appears dated. Can I just cut the inner perimeter of the mirror to remove it or do something else? Thanks!
