This video is perfect for someone who has never done this before!
Thank you! That was my goal.
Great tutorial to follow! Didnt realize cutting glass was so easy!
Yeah, it’s easy and satisfying!
Fantastic video man. Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Cheers mate. I have a few old mirrors in my cabin, and I’ve been wanting to make things from them. No, I have the know-how. 👍🏼
That’s Great, now go tackle those mirrors! 👍🏼 👌🏼
Just what I was looking for
Glad it helped!
Thanks, this is really informative.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Awsome video. I was wondering about the the 13 dollar glass cutter very interesting.
Thanks for watching! I’ve used the red devil one, which used to be about $6 a couple years ago. Not sure what its priced is now.
good guide bro
Thanks for watching!
Very useful! I always thought this was more difficult, but you did a great job of changing my mind!
A good cut glass sounds like an angry T-Rex from Jurassic park. :)
I agree, very informative. It was a great video 🦖 🦖🦖
You’re right. I’ll have to edit that update in :)
From what I've read, 3-in-1 oil is not really optimal bc it is too viscous (thick) although some ppl prefer it. They recommend a thinner oil like white mineral oil. Or you can thin your 3-in-1 with turpentine or mineral spirits.
To be honest, I’ve never been doused with 3-1 oil. In fact, I’ve even cut glass without oil and I’m not completely convinced you HAVE to have it. Maybe I just got lucky. But you’re right, I’ve read that too.

Alright! Thanks a lot!
Great informative video…
I came across a few new mirrors at work , all rejected due to wrong size or a small chip in a corner…
Just wondering how to smooth the edge after. Wet high grit sandpaper?
Thanks
Great question, I'm not sure, but I'd be curious to learn what you find out
Thank you so much
Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
@@HandymanHertz Welcome sir.
jeez man! very good video. right what i wanted. you have a good natural delivery and you sound compassionate for more reason :-). But please....safety glasses and gloves!
Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
I believe practice is everything. I bought a cutter long time ago, on sale, but never attempt to make the first cut, afraid to ruin the work! How many glasses had you cut before this video?
Great content. Subscribed and rang the bell. 👍
Thank you! To be completely honest, I’ve practiced a lot on a spare piece of glass and got enough confidence to do my first window pane. I’ve only done about 3-4 window panes.
Very informative! After watching this video, cutting glass is not intimidating! Cannot say I like the sound of glass cutting...but helpful to know what to expect. Keep the great videos coming!
It is really easy…and fun! Thanks for watching!
Protective gloves and glasses maybe?
a good idea, but I've never had an issue. 👍🏼
I want to cut a glass syringe, can I use a jigsaw diamond blade for that ?
Great question, I have no idea!
I have an old Red Devil glass cutter, but the cutting wheel on it is dull. Does this matter?
I’m not sure, butI don’t think so. They sent sharp to begins with. Maybe try on a spare piece of glass first
Try breaking off a narrow edge. It's painful
Agreed!
After scoring, position the glass over the breaking edge and for thin strips use a length of wood on top to press down evenly along it.
I find glass is random. Might work for 3 panes, then cutting the 4th goes all awry and bits snap off unevenly.
The old "Do as I say, not as I do"...." Is not a very responsible way of teaching. I am sorry, but my conscience will not let me "like" this video, regardless of your information, since you failed to do as you advised. Safety first means just that. Why should you be exempt when you preach otherwise?
I disagree with you that it’s an “irresponsible way of teaching”. it’s best if everyone wears gloves who is unfamiliar and inexperienced with glass. But I have enough experience and take calculated risks, and don’t have any issues. Example: The first time you ride a bike, it’s probably a good idea to wear elbow pads and a helmet. Eventually, you don’t need elbow pads them, but I’m not going to have a video of me riding a bike around with elbow pads and a helmet.
My experience with glass is that it’s not random at all if you do it right. New and old glass seems to be very consistent. thats just been my experience, maybe other countries/areas/batches of glass is different? Maybe your cutting wheel have dulled over the year?

Methods:
We used a case-control design involving 129 fatalities using data from a coroner’s review of cycling deaths in Ontario, Canada, between 2006 and 2010. We defined cases as cyclists who died as a result of head injuries; we defined controls as cyclists who died as a result of other injuries. The exposure variable was nonuse of a bicycle helmet.
Results:
Not wearing a helmet while cycling was associated with an increased risk of dying as a result of sustaining a head injury (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-7.3). We saw the same relationship when we excluded people younger than 18 years from the analysis (adjusted OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.4-8.5) and when we used a more stringent case definition (i.e., only a head injury with no other substantial injuries; adjusted OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.2-10.2).
Interpretation:
Not wearing a helmet while cycling is associated with an increased risk of sustaining a fatal head injury. Policy changes and educational programs that increase the use of helmets while cycling may prevent deaths.
One cyclist dies in Canada each week, and cycling fatalities account for more than 2% of traffic fatalities, a leading cause of death in young adults.
As a certified safety officer, I am not going to disagree, I will however await the report where, possibly someday, maybe never, but possibly someday down the road of life there just may be the possibility of a significant, or serious, or possibly severe, loss of eye, limb or mobility, and/or God forbid, death. I sincerely hope you are just letting the youth speak for you and not the experiences life can deliver. Any of the above would be very detrimental to both you and your loved ones.
If safety were just a matter of experience, OSHA would be sitting on the sidelines with possibly a 1/4 of their current world wide staff, possibly even non existent.
There may be someone who reads my next statement/comment who was either present, knew of the incident or the individual, or possibly worked with him but was on another job this day. Could even be a family member reads this. You never know.
There was a very confident man who worked in the Union Trades. There are a plethora of trades, this particular trade is Iron work, he was an Iron Worker by trade. The super on the job this day was either there and distracted, or not present at the time of this incident, I cannot remember.
The individual, along with a few other iron workers were on, I believe it was between the 6th to the 9th floors they were working on.
If you’re not sure what an iron worker does for a living, look it up. They work sometimes as high as a thousand feet and more, often with only a safety line between them and the hard stop at the bottom, no matter the height.
In this day, this particular iron worker was not tied off, as they were laying sheets for the next level, he was stepping back, the others yelling to him to stop, when someone calls an all stop on a job, you do exactly that, all stop. It means something or someone is seriously amiss.
This gentleman apparently either did not hear them, or thought he had plenty more room than they could possibly know.
Tying off is a MANDATORY safety measure, NOT optional. No matter how much experience or years on the job you may have.
This gentleman stepped off the edge, he never knew what happened after that. Do not make light of this. This affected many people, many layers up and down the chain to include friends and family. Now imagine this is you, you just stepped off, you have time to think, WTF just happe. And that’s it. No safety gear, no joke.
I once saw an individual using a bench grinder, one side had the stone, the other the wire brush. He was using the wire brush, he was in fact wearing eyepro, one of the wires dislodged from the wheel, flew out, stuck halfway through the eyepro before stopping. Just short of his eyeball. Another, not so lucky, he ended up in the ER, no eyepro, he’d been doing this for years, never had a problem. Stopped wearing eyepro, slowed him down he said.
Lost his right eye, that sure slowed him down in big way.
Safety is no joke!
Safety First.
The measures are there for you, not for the heck of it. You think you look like a dork, or you’re too experienced, I guess we’ll find out just how experienced your eyeballs are when you’re splitting glass and shard snaps up and lodges into one of your eyes. Or no gloves, your hands are too experienced, that is until the glass snaps just right and your hand slips, there goes your wrist. I don’t know about you but my skin isn’t nearly as tough as leather.
Have a safe and fun day gentlemen.
My hats off to all of you who are in fact wearing the proper safety gear for the proper job. Keep safe, everyone!
