I really appreciated your video. I have watched several videos before this one even passed up watching this. The other videos I had so many questions as to why this why that what about this what about that. This is very confusing and then trying to watch five other videos and put them all together I still had so many questions and watching your video every question was answered. I would even begin to ask myself a question but you'd already be in the process of answering the question I was gonna ask . The most informative, easy to understand, you demonstrated what you were speaking of. While showing a variety of tools available explaining how they work, why they work the way they do. Not only for beginners but also for those who think they know the most about glass cutting. Thank you.

P.s. watching " how it's made" and other popular learning shows unfortunately did not answer any, ( not a single 1) of my questions. Good job!!!
This was very helpful. I am an artist and I am going to start making my own frames and cutting glass for the frames. I cut my glass and did a fine job. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I've been putting off finishing my fireplace tile project due to having to cut around the gas valve controls. But not anymore. Thank you!
Give me a break...give me a break, break me off a piece of that...Good tutorial. I'm just starting out and had my first lesson yesterday. Youm now have a new subscriber.
It was the very best instructional video that I have ever seen! Keep up the fantastic work, and I hope that in the future , if I have a question about a new hobby skill, that you are the one with the answers!! Great job!
Love that kit-kat replay with the awkward return to instruction, and leaving that high pitched "there we go!" after the are cut. Great job, very helpful!👍🏻
Thanks for the video. Please consider emphasizing the tool names. I haven’t looked for the pliers yet but I’m fairly sure I’m looking for “running” pliers. Maybe “grosser” pliers? I tried to listen to that one several times.
Omgosh, yes, the door thing, I swear.... very few things set me over the edge of what I can emotionally cope with like that belt loop thing does. I have a major orthopedic injury to my lumbar spine and severe R.A., which makes little things like this absolutely maddening because I already don't move like l used to (36 yo newly single mother, too). I could've sworn I was the only person with this issue. Nice video, helps a lot with my DIY endeavors for home projects that now I'm on my own with... your details and examples are really helpful! Thanks!
thanks a lot, I'm glad I found you, or else I would have made a lot of mistakes, I really learned a lot, you're a good teacher not too much not too little perfect, thanks again G
Thank you. Years ago I took a Stai Ed glass class. I have some 130 year old Stai Ed glass that I want to make hearts out of for suncatchers. I plan to roughly cut a heart shape then tumble pie es in rock polisher. Is there any way to make a small pierced hole in the glass ? Large enough to run a wire through ?
Is professional high volume cutting the carbide wheel lasts 1-2 weeks. We replaced them regularly. Pliers were only used to per say chip chunks of a bad run. Most people don’t understand what running the glass is . It’s basically tapping the score edge start and using both hands with finger pressure in a lifting motion causing the fracture to follow the cut line.
OMG, cutting those curves, you are the master! 👍 I just started learning cutting glass. I need to cut a thin strip (1" wide), 34" long out of my existing glass, 34"x41", to fit into a frame. (Successfully practiced cutting a few big wide pieces for now.) Any suggestion on how to carry out my real task?
Thank you so much. I am having problems with using pliers on curves. Duh yes cut many little curves to get the result I want. Will practice practice and practice. Looking forward to seeing more of your instructions.
Actually not into glass cutting but sometimes,need glasses for my projects usually I go to professional glass cutters, would like to try one myself, thanks 👃
Thanks! I learned a whole bunch about cutting glass with this one video, you make great videos. And belt loop getting hooked yup it's happened to me too
Very informative advice to start on my journey of glass cutting, thankyou kindly Heather. I want to learn so i can make some customised deep glass pools for my hermit crabs out of some old broken tanks i have. My hermies also thankyou for the to be lavish pools they will throughly enjoy "swimming" in. The kitkat sneak at the end made be giggle 😄
Kiki Lang mentioned Diamond glass cutters from old. Just so people know, should you wish to try. I buy a diamond tip , they are with Dremel tool accessories in hardware stores and put the tip in an Exacto holder, they make a few with a round tip holder rather than a slot for a blade. Then I have a diamond glass cutter/scorer that work great and last a very long time. Also being a tip rather than a wheel can make more intricate curves
Great video really helped me get started cutting glass !! As for the belt loops getting stuck on the door , this happens to me but on the deadbolt knob!! So annoying!!
Thanks. Before my time, they sold glass cutters that was tipped with industrial diamond. You could see it. It looked like a cloudly chunk of rock salt, with pointy tip. They were expensive, but you never used anyforce at all. It just scored the glass perfectly. I hate that they don't make stuff anymore.
@@heatherdawson4146 Hi, loved the video - just so people know, should you wish to try - I buy a diamond tip -, they are with Dremel tool accessories in hardware stores and put the tip in an Exacto holder, they make a few with a round tip holder rather than a slot for a blade --- and I have a diamond glass cutter/scorer that work great and last a very long time.

Hi dear, Recently I cut a glasss with straight line with yellow color handle knife but it didn"t break so I scratch it another couple of times evev I had to struggle it to separate i to two, what is the reason for it 🤔
Heather, I have a piece of frosted glass a foot square which needs a quarter of an inch off one side. So, how would you remove this piece of glass that is 1 foot by a quarter of an inch?
@@heatherdawson4146 haha i loved your intro! definitely happens more often than i care to admit, especially when i'm sprinting trough a door and getting caught and pulled back like a cartoon figure
@@AidenAdhmad Right?? I have a shelf in my studio with a little round eye hook (to fold it up out of the way) that catches the side of my sweatshirt all the time. Like.. there isn't even anything there to hook onto like the belt loop, I'm just talented like that. 🙈
Many thanks, Heather. Having watched a couple of other less informative videos on glass-cutting I mamaged to ruin two sheets of picture-framing glass before coming across your video. Following your advice, I have got it right first time every time! I did not know that I had to hold the cutter vertically. I would have thought I would have done when scoring the first two sheets, but as they splintered as you suggested they would, I guess that I didn't. Also, I pressed down harder on the cutter, and so felt more confident that one pass was enough; previously I had made several passes. Although you advise against more than one pass on the grounds that it wears out the cutting head more quickly, I wonder whether more than one pass (especially if the passes are not exactly in the same place) also makes the glass more likely to splinter Lastly, I held the glass on one edge with one hand on each side of the score-line and broke it as you demonstrated. I like the Kit-Kat analogy! My unsuccessful attempts involved placing the score line over a straight edge (firstly a pencil, secondly the edge of a ruler) and pressing down on the free side of the glass. Your method seems to me to be counter-intuitive - but it works!. In any event, I owe my success (I have made 8 successful cuts) all to you. Thanks again from south-east London, England.
I would love to watch any and all videos that you produce. You are very precise in the point your trying to get across to your audience. Basically, what I'm saying is that your a darn good teacher. Thank you. Looking forward to viewing more of what you have to offer. Truly good, Lig Lig
excellent video - thankyou - and like the fun attitude also - do you have any videos on basic straight line cutting including what kind of matt or board or table to cut on and what kind of tools to use as a straight line edge - thanks vin
Thanks Vin! No videos on cutting straight lines, but you can cut on any flat surface. Lots of artists use a grid surface to catch any little bits of glass. I've created a grid using plastic waffle grid or eggcrate panel for overhead lights, installed over a light table. But any flat surface works nicely. Sometimes I cut large sheets over a self healing cutting mat, as it has the grid measurements already on the mat, which makes it quick to cut straight pieces. (You can see the green surface of the cutting mat in the video) As for tools to get straight lines, lots of glass artists use a wooden T-bar, which I will likely upgrade to eventually. Right now, I just use a cork-back metal ruler. I do find that over time, the side of the ruler cuts into the metal of the cutter head and wears it down. Metal rulers are also fairly thin, which can lead to the cutter jumping up onto the ruler instead of staying on the glass. It's mainly about finding what works best for you! Try out different things and use what feels right in your hands. 🤓
Hi Anna! The mat I cut on is an Olfa self healing mat I picked up at Michael's. Just make sure that you aren't putting anything warm onto the mat, such as a project coming out of the kiln that is still a little warm, or tools that heat up like a grinder - the heat from the fan at the bottom warped the mat before I realized, so now I have a wonky end on this mat. Oops.
Are there any videos to explain step by step the principles of glass cutting, and safety , for example eye safety and safety from cutting ones skin prior to starting a project? And what is the best type of glass to start with? For example I’d like to learn how to cut bottles.
Hi Naomi! Basic safety for glass cutting is to wear eye protection as well as closed toed shoes. Glass can break and fall on your foot, which is something a lot of people don't think about. As for cutting skin, it happens. You can help minimize the risks of cutting yourself by being aware of how you're handling the glass. Raw edges are sharp, so you'll want to avoid running your hands and fingers across the sheets. Keeping a tidy workspace is helpful to not bump into something unexpected and cause accidents. Also, my number one safety tip for new students is to kick the habit of brushing off your workspace with the side of your hand (like brushing away eraser dust) because you'll end up with tiny slivers in your hands. Always use a brush or a cloth to clean off the workspace of any little bits of glass. As for cutting bottles, while I have worked with some bottles, it isn't something I specialize in. There are bottle cutters available specifically for scoring a bottle to break off symmetrical rings, but it isn't something that I personally own or work with, so I can't offer much advice on that. I recommend starting with single pane clear glass and practicing various cuts - straight, curves. After you feel comfortable with your cutter, there are pattern books for beginners - visit your local glass supply shop and ask for Beginner Stained Glass 10 pieces or less (there are also 20 pieces, 30 pieces in the same series). You may be able to find a copy of the book online as well. Hope some of this was helpful! 💜
I learned more from you in 10 minutes than watching half an hour of other videos on the subject! Thank you for the lesson!
Tip 1 03:17 Only score the glass once. Repeating will dull the blade.
Tip 2 03:42 Hold cutter 90 degrees vertically. If you tilt the cutter, the glass will break at an angle.
