How To Cut Glass

[@VanOutloud]

Miss Dunstan is brilliant. It's difficult not to respect her skill. I was a manager of a frame shop years ago. She makes it clear how ignorant we were trying to pass ourselves off as professionals. That shortcoming lead to my resigning. I knew we weren't up to the task. The company kept taking orders. I asked for help when we were fifty orders behind. The company said to keep taking orders. I said we need skilled help. The company insisted we keep taking orders. When we were 472 orders behind, they sent us one semi-experienced man with an attitude the size of Texas. He wanted my job . I let him have it. Last I heard, he was asking the company for more help. They were 602 orders behind. That's when my friend Rita quit and two others. I wish that the internet was as accessable then in 1997. I wouldn't have been so ignorant.

Very informative without unnecessary bits. You make it look so easy.

[@angelahumphries4350]

It is UNREAL how easy you make this look

[@craigneville8683]

Came here to learn how to cut glass tops for my dart frog vivariums and left wanting to make stained glass windows. Totally A+. Thanks!

Hello, I am also a glass cutter.

[@Azrael442]

This gave me the confidence to finally dive into it. Made a few mistake cuts but I finally have the lid to my aquarium cut from glass I found in the bins😊 Thank you🙌💯

Hello, I am also a glass cutter, but all of you who are interested can access my video mail.

[@creativeglassguild]

So glad you found this useful! Happy Cutting :)

[@adzy166]

Excellent video. No fillers or unnecessary waffle. Gave me confidence to have a go. Thanks!

[@davetv4705]

Thanks so much! This is my first glass cutting tutorial video.

[@rongrosstube]

Thank You!!! I have broken a few pieces of glass trying to make cuts. You gave me the method and confidence to use #1, the "thumb" method (3:12 with nitrile gloves for support) and it worked flawlessly the first time for the two cuts I needed! Your video is the simplest and most concise out there. Thank you again.

Son of a gun -- it worked just like she showed! Thank you.

[@aliciamazingg]

This is exactly what I had hoped to stumble upon, thanks for making this video!

[@harrystevens3885]

Clear ,precise, good sound and excellent lighting and well explained, glad I found this,and now to buy a cutter.

[@adelecondron-king2365]

BRILLIANT TUTORIAL Thank you !!!..." clear cut ' explanations !!!!!

[@Azrael442]

👏👏👏

[@carries7176]

this is not what i went looking for, but i had to watch a bit to realize that. i watched the whole thing because it was interesting. thanks!

[@psedach]

When she did the circle... that was edge of your seat suspense. I kept waiting for the whole disc to crack like it does when I do it 😮😆

[@catsmith233]

Same!

[@mosesnarayan7504]

Professional tutorial teacher thank you I've learnt a lot from this video........GB

[@ehteshamshamsiAligarhUPindia]

Very nice demo mam, very good narration, take care while handling glass without gloves.

[@deborahhardeman8802]

Thanks so very much, i was using pliers wrong . Just that tip alone Helped me to-move foward.

[@davidjackson8969]

A great demonstration; she made it look very easy, and gave very clear explanations. (If you make any more videos, please ask the cameraman to concentrate on the workpiece when the lady is doing things. We don't need to cut to her face evry few seconds at the expense of missing the action!)

[@toughwarrior8437]

Great job, thanks.

[@srpratt1]

Overall a good video. Solid, easy to follow information and clear video. My only criticism is the hollow, low-level sound quality. Invest $50 and pick up a wireless Lavaliere mic. It makes a world of difference.

[@ayoobmancota-andre5671]

Still holds up after 8 years 😂. Great job.

[@timeenuf4200]

Nicely done! Very informative. As a novice I have gotten cut while learning. Well worth mentioning that gloves really should be used at least in the beginning. Great channel. Looking forward to catching up on your videos.

I can finally go Catwoman and cut a perfect circle as I steal stuff!

[@melinageofashion]

I am not sure if we have to buy different diamonds cutter for thicker table glass.

[@darktruth95]

I'm not hearing a sound when i'm pulling that cutter and the oil is making the cutter slip.

[@lestafox7610]

I have an glass from an old coffee table that I'd like to repurpose. What's the best tool to use?

[@jaco108]

Hi can i ask what material you have on the worksurface?

[@Moo-dd1gm]

Curious can this scoring method work on glass bottles to cut them????

[@creativeglassguild]

We recommend this www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/creators-premium-bottle-cutter for bottle cutting

[@DecadentBroccoli]

Now I just have to wait for my neighbours to leave

[@Juandan59]

Thank you, you make it look easy.

[@obeyr8232]

Does choosing that cutter depends on types glasses to be cut?

[@creativeglassguild]

Not generally, these will cut most glass, you may need something different if cutting very thick glass (>6mm) these cutters work on pretty much every type of window glass or stained glass provided its not toughened - which you can not cut at all!

[@jackkraken3888]

Great vid. Wish it had more likes.

[@idailianar]

Thank you! You are a great teacher! Do you have any more tutorial videos for us to watch?

[@bobpatterson6897]

Great job

[@royrvr]

Great, thanks. I believe something you forgot to mention is that, as I could observe in your video, when you cut a straight line you move the cutter towards your body and when you cut a curve you move the cutter away from your body. Is that correct?

[@creativeglassguild]

In reality you can do either, with a curve, certainly away, if you are following a line, so that you can see it, with straight lines against a cutting edge you can go either way.

[@creative1976]

Wonderful My Friend like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Creative

[@byronbuxton8214]

Nice demo. Could you do a demo where you cut the circle but need to leave the square pane intact on a small piece of class maybe 350 x 300 mm with a hole about 200 mm diameter. I had to supply a timber frame and cut the hole in the new glass for an expelair.Tried the one time then ended up at the glaziers. He told me to leave it with him. I suspect so he didn't give any clues away! Thanks again.

[@AjeeshKFREEDISHDTHTECH]

Nice explanation... Thanks sister....

[@AnilKumar-td8jz]

[@yusufmulani9495]

how to cut spherical convex glass of 2mm thk??

[@ramonching7772]

On cutting circles.... We should avoid small angle points to prevent nibs. Nibs are hard to eliminate because it will leave an ever smaller nibs. Best to exit radially perpendicular to the arc.

[@catsmith233]

What type of oil are you using to dip the cutter in please?

[@creativeglassguild]

Glass cutting oil which is odorless and the right consistency www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/glass-cutter-oil

[@MrStringybark]

Question 1. You appear to be using a carpet square or something similar. Is that absolutely necessary? Question 2. When do you use the oil?

[@angelherrera4855]

The oil is already in the cutter imagine a pen with ink inside. Now if you don't want it leaking just dip in oil before cutting.

[@creativeglassguild]

A short pile carpet or rubber backing helps, especially with the pressing technique, we use the oil in the cutter itself to lubricate the wheel and prevent rust.

[@MrStringybark]

@@creativeglassguild Thanks for the extra info as I am so bad at cutting glass.

[@OwdLarrd]

Thank you, great tutorial. Just rec'vd my first glass cutter, purely for straight lines for picture frame non-reflective-glass. Looking forward to having a wea go now. Thanks again!!!

[@anandsholapurkar8695]

Gloves equally important !

[@cheachoeun5924]

Very good

[@catsmith233]

You guys always make this look so easy and I still can’t master it 🙄

[@creativeglassguild]

Keep practising and remember not to press too hard, if the score looks ground in its too much pressure, if you cant feel it with a fingernail its not enough. You will get there!

[@ojiekoh]

very nice and informative.

[@welderspotter5200]

Nice tutorial

[@razanyousefmorya4631]

Your video is soo helpful!!! Thank you, But I have a question that I hope I could have an answer for, is it possible to cut a mirror if it's glued to a piece of wood ??

[@granth1905]

No but you could try removing the glass from the wood using a wire in between them using a sawing motion. If the glass is thin which it probably is or it is epoxy glue or even just well glued it will most likely break the glass. The only other option is using a diamond grinding wheel which would also be very difficult considering that you would be cutting through glass and wood.

[@creativeglassguild]

No, if glued on it wont cut

[@glassdesignerr12]

Nice cutting

[@khmeryoutubeteam8931]

Hello, this is a good knowledge

[@afiqfiqrie42]

Thank you ☺️

[@qasimlove2226]

Thanks for briefing. Your eyes are very pretty

[@freehdmovies6617]

I tried to cut glass but I didn’t seem to get it right. Do I push down hard to make the score or do I just press lightly.

[@RealBradMiller]

So, the head of mine goes in when I press it, I push down just hard enough so that the shaft and head meet. Hope that helps!

[@creativeglassguild]

Its about 3lb of pressure, not too hard so it looks ground in, and not too lightly that you cant feel the score with a fingernail

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

Nice

[@glassdesignerr12]

Very nice video

[@eqisoftcom]

It seems you do it 100% right all the time. I am trying and it's been 50-50 so far :-(.

[@johnholland2962]

Gloves! that's a disciplinary offence where I work

[@Moo-dd1gm]

We need glasses continues too not use any gloves 😂😂😂 we don't need to keep are hands safe lets just show how we can cut glass using bare hands slightly cringe worthy I agree

[@basrasultana2167]

Shapes and designing walay particles kis trah cut hongay?

[@nicolewing1742]

Just a quick question about the oil used in the glass cutter, does it have to be a particular kind? I bought some "Professional Glass Cutter Oil" on Amazon and just recently watched another video where they said you could also use motor oil, or transmission oil in the cutter. I am just getting into working with glass, so any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

[@creativeglassguild]

We recommend glass cutter oil www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/glass-cutter-oil as it is the right consistency for the wick in the glass cutter, other types may clog or run right through.

[@10hockeymom1]

What about 3and1 oil?

[@creativeglassguild]

@@10hockeymom1 No, it is too thick

[@EvolutionMachinetoMan]

Can i cut 8mm aquarium glass with this technique?

[@creativeglassguild]

Do you know if the glass is toughened or not? If it is just normal plate glass you can use this technique. For breaking the glass after scoring, the running pliers would be your best bet!

[@jamiem5364]

@@creativeglassguild just for future reference aquariums are typically just normal plate glass.

[@GuardGuard62]

Good teachee

[@lynphilion1501]

I don't know why but I can not get the cutter to cut. I am using the kobalt one. No matter how I hold it or how much pressure it will not score. It is driving me bonkers. Please help.

[@creativeglassguild]

Hi Lyn, we would recommend a Toyo Cutter www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/prod/toyo-super-glass-cutter-tc1 they are great quality tools, getting the balance of pressure right takes some practise, also check you don't lean left or right when scoring, that will mess it up.
