Oh man, it really stood out when she said, "maybe I'm just not good at it". I'm just now realizing that it's rare to hear a human saying that anymore on these types of videos. It's drenched in a caveman's finality ("THEIR WAY BAD! MINE GOOD!") more often than not. Little things like that really matter when it comes to teaching. I appreciate it so much. Liked and subbed!
I am renovating a room in my house to be a home gym and the ceiling is all mirror tiles. I got to the middle where the fan is and broke about 3 tiles trying to figure out how to cut the circular shape into the mirrors. Watched this video and tried the multiple scoring technique and it worked perfectly. Thank you for the easy and effective tutorial!
One tactic I've found helpful when doing the second method you demonstrated is to use a pistol grip cutter, apply pressure with the hand holding the cutter but instead of using the same hand to steer the cutter at the same time, I use the thumb of my other hand to 'drive' the cutter forward along the line, while steering the cutter using my wrist. Didn't work every time, mostly because I was cutting such little sickle shaped pieces for a special project, but about 80% were usable, and about 1/4" across. I've since bought two different saws for these types of cuts now, but I still try to keep in practise. The hardest glass I've found to cut this way is Spectrum Red-Orange Cathedral, and also a black glass I don't know the source of.
@@SophiesStainedGlass I'll see what I can come up with in the near future. Didn't have a camera at the time, so there's no recordings, but we're doing renovations, so there are a couple of mirrors to make. I'll try to record something then.
@@SophiesStainedGlass Thanks, Sophie. I need to cut a "U" shape hole on the side of a 10mm glass. The hole will be about 26cm long and about 4cm on each side. I will have to get new cutter because I don't have any at the moment. The last time I did cut some glasses was more than a decade ago. What is best glass cutter you recommend? I know it contradicts what that short video suggests, but I don't have any old cutter to start with.

Tack för denna video och blogginlägget om blyinfästning jag hittade den på!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I've been having so much trouble and found the running plier method to work so well!
Pleased to hear it was helpful.

I'd love to see your method demonstrated... Hard to quite imagine. I've decided all cathedral is horrible to cut!

I wish I could find video cutting the same or similar shape on a 10mm glass tough.

To cut a moon shape should I start cut on inside or outside?
Inside.
try biting the hot end of the score to break with your running pliers, not where you started the cut first. hope that helps
Ok will give it a try!
To do a 90° angle cut, the technique is the same?
You can't really cut 90 degrees
@SophiesStainedGlass why? If I cut the glass in two moments, one for each side and then knock it down very gentle it won't break... or will?
@@ricardogomespedro4365 try this video ua-cam.com/video/zAWYpE2_Jkg/v-deo.html
@SophiesStainedGlass that's it! Does it affects the cut if I make 2 cuttings, instead just one as you have made in the video?
@@ricardogomespedro4365 it won't work.
