Use This [SECRET] Technique to Cut Stained Glass!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In this video I show you what I am calling the Hot Wheels Technique to stained glass cutting. It is a process where you are putting just enough pressure on your glass cutter that the head of the tool is completely compressed and you are gliding the tool across the surface of the glass. I personally believe it is an extremely effective way to score and break your glass very cleanly and without putting added pressure on your hands and wrists. I have seen my most complicated shapes be broken perfectly using this method of scoring. I hope it helps many of you glass artists in your glass scoring and breaking skills!

I have used a Toyo pistol grip for nearly 40 years now. It's the best for my hand strength and shape. I never fill it with oil. I put maybe 2 tablespoons in it. It will take a really long time to use that amount up. Textured glass is the hardest to cut. Opal is one of the easiest. Never rescore a line. You will do damage to your cutting wheel. The wheels can be replaced on the cutters but it gets costly if you don't take care of your wheel. I use the same wheel hundreds of pieces of glass. You can tell when your wheel no longer works. You will not be able to get a good clean score. Keep your cutter straight up and down. If you don't, your glass will break at an angle. You want square breaks. Just paying it forward as someone did for me.
I feel privileged to have found these tips while I was simply looking to find out what tools I need to buy!
Amazing so glad you found it helpful!
Easiest curve technique, that I have ever seen. Thank you.❤
Excellent, thank you. I'm obviously pushing way to hard looking for that sound.
I was quite surprised to see you get that green glass arc cut in just one pass.😮😊😊
Been doing glass for a number of years, wish I would have seen this long ago. Thanks for sharing.
So glad the video helped! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, very informative and helpful
Thank you for these great cutting tips! I also have been applying wayyyyy too much pressure on my cuts, I can't wait to try these new techniques on the project I'm currently working on.
So glad you found it helpful!
Wow, thanks for the vid regarding technique and tool usage! I’m also loving how you made a double video. Instead of just going crazy and and snapping away like most other artists do, you stopped as necessary and critiqued the work as you went! Love it! Thanks again!🧑🎓
So glad you found the video helpful! Thank you so much!
This video really helped me a lot, made cutting much less stressful. Thanks so much!!
So glad you found it helpful
This was such a helpful video! Im gonna try my best to implement your tips! Thank you!
Wow, girl! This is an excellant video which no one touches on in the UA-cam community.
Excellant info!!!🌈⭐️⚘️
Thank you so much!
Thank you super useful
I love my pistol grip cutter.if I had not found that tool years ago I would not have continued on my glass art journey.
Great tips.
Thank you so much for this video. I was a push and shove cutter, but not anymore. I am getting closer and better cuts using the press and glide technique. Also, I am not wasting glass. Again, thanks so much for sharing. You rock!
Absolutely so glad you have found it helpful!
Great tutorial. Learned at lot. I've been working in glass for years. LOVED IT!!!😊
So happy you found it helpful!
I'm so glad I found your video, it's helped me a lot. I was definitely pushing too hard!! Thank you so much!
So glad you found it helpful!!
How am i just now stumbling across your channel?! GOLD MINE! subscribed ofc
So glad you’re finding the videos helpful!!
Awesome! Thank You!! Now … Let’s go CUT SOME GLASS!! 😁
I've always loved stained glass so I finally splurged on tools and I've been watching tons of videos to figure out where to start. And I have to say that of all the videos I've studied, your glass shows far and away the cleanest and prettiest cuts. Thank you for showing your technique! I'm looking forward to trying it. Subscribed!
So happy to be a part of your glass journey!! Thank you so much for the kind words 💕
This is a brilliant way to explain the pressure needed to score glass. I've rolled many Hot Wheels so I can totally relate! Thank you for sharing 😊😍
Hahaha absolutely!!
Thanks 5hat helped me ALOT
So glad!
Interesting, well explained and shown! I’m all in on hot wheels
So glad it helped!! Thanks! 🚗
Damn girl you're really good at this.
Thank ya thank ya
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I love it
I found this really, REALLY helpful. Thank you so much!
So glad!! You’re welcome!
Amazing. So talented for one so young. 😊
Thank you so much!
Great lesson... thank you so much. I have been pushing and shoving from the beginning. I will be.hot wheeling it in the future.
🚗🚗🚗 Awesome! I hope you find it very helpful!
All I can say is WOW 🤩
Thanks so much Sue!
Love the hot wheels method. It was very helpful :)
So glad you found it helpful!
Great video. Noob here. I'm a 6'3" 250 lb guy that has been pressing WAY to hard to make the sound everyone says it "should" make. I was pressing hard enough to get shards coming off on the end of the cut, but that was the only way I knew how to make that sound. Thanks for simplifying the process. I would like to offer another video. Cutting on curved lines. How do you stay on the line?Is it just experience?
So glad this video helped your cutting skills. If your wrists ever start hurting, your pressing too hard. Curve’s definitely take practice. Make sure you are following your line in the most controlled and steady way possible without adding pressure downwards that would cause you to start scoring too hard. I definitely make a video better explaining some tips and tricks to help.
You can use your other hand to stabilize as you press along the line
This was very helpful!
Thanks so much!

oh man i was doing the pushing/shoving technique today and really wanted to just give up because it was not going well. tomorrow i'll attempt the hot wheels method! (with hopefully more success)
Yes! Absolutely give it some practice it will really help! Thanks for watching!
Just found you! Thanks KC :) I like your way of thinking :) Subscribed
So glad you found it helpful!
Thanks 👍❤
Wow!!
☺️
Hi, thanks for your video…I can’t seem to master this technique - is it harder to apply this technique to Bullseye? I’m presuming it’s me and not the glass 🤣… but wondered if spectrum or other glass cuts ‘easier’?
Thanks for your fun vids 😊👍🏼👍🏼
You will definitely see a difference in glass types. Some glasses break very easily and some glasses are more difficult. But I do not change the amount of pressure I apply to my tool on any of them. 😊
It's not you, Bullseye glass is always terrible to cut! Oceanside is sooooo much easier to work with
Ohhh my lanta… thanks so much for the video. Helped me out a lot
This is so helpful ! Got some questions, is tempered glass ok to use ? Or where do u get ur glass from? As a beginner, what basic tools other than the pliers and glass cutter do u recommend ?
I would not use tempered glass. It will shatter to a million pieces. If you are looking for a good cheap glass to practice with just use regular clear window glass. There are many many place to purchase art glass. You can purchase straight from the manufacturer (ex, Youghiogheny glass, Wissmach, Oceanside) or you can google a local stained glass supplier to shop in person. Other places I like to shop is Anything In Stained Glass. As a beginner you should purchase the following: a Toyo glass cutter, grozing pliers, running pliers, sheet glass, 7/32” or 1/4” copper foil, 60/40 solder, gel flux, Hakko soldering iron with temperature control, a very small grinder (not completely necessary but you will want it asap), work in a well ventilated area like a garage or basement. Glass shards are going to get everywhere so keep that in mind.
SO its simply using less pressure ? Am I correct ? It certainly is effective
Absolutely! Save those wrists!
Nice
Thanks!
Hi Carlye, will try your method thanks. I watch you break complicated curves without issues. Do you have your running pliers set a certain way please?
So glad you found the video helpful! When I am running a crack with my running pliers I place them on one side of the score line, not on top of it. It helps the glass breaks much cleaner and won’t give you a ripple effect when breaking it down the center. I also completely take out any screw that could stop me from squeezing the pliers less than what I want. Hope this helps!
I have the same cutter as in your picture..I need to know about the swivel head…should it swivel? I see a screw, but that might be for the blade?
The screw is for the swivel head. It should have some movement to it. When the screw is too tight there is none. If it is too loose the head will fall off.
Merciiiiiiiiiiii
🥰
Most textbook experts state that scoring requires 8 pounds of consistent pressure on the smoother side of the glass. Even pressure going forward.... Backing up and rescoring does 2 awful things. 1. it removes/damages the diamond on the glass cutter 2. creates a score that sends the break in multiple directions- not necessarily where you wanted. Question - do you even know why the Running pliers have the big adjustment screw - you don't seem to be using it? I do appreciate your videos though.You seem to get decent results.....
8 pounds seems excessive. Just putting a simple scoreline on the surface is going to create weakness for the break. I never back up and rescore. The screw ensures you don’t squeeze too hard on the sheet. I don’t use it because I don’t squeeze hard.
There is only one glass cutter to use if you do not want to lose a lot of glass and that is the Toyo. The reason is the cutting wheel. I talked with the inventor of the Toyo cutter before he died and know what it is. It is a metal matrix such as modern cutting tools are made from. It is super hard and precisely sharpened. The pistol grip is the only one to buy as with my modifications is it a one hand precise glass cutter without having to hold the cutter as you are doing as there is no other control unless you do this.
What I do is loosen the screw, take off the head, remove the spring, replace the head, push it all the way up without the spring, turn the head 180 degrees from stock so that the screw does not hit the cut out in the head retainer for the screw. Tighten the screw with the head all the way up so that it does not turn. Now you have a real cutter that is precise. To oil the cutter head take a bottle cap, put some paper towel in it, then soak with WD40, now every few cuts just dip the cutter into the WD40 paper towel and continue. A Toyo head on my glass cutting machines would last over 40,000 pieces of glass at 3-4 cuts/piece. They last.
For breaking glass use either a Diamantor glass cutter breaker as they are parallel, or, my favorite are crescent wrenches from large to the smallest for deep inside cuts.
The reason crescent wrenches work and glass pliars are destroyers of glass is very simple. With glass pliars when the glass does not immediately break on the cut line you cannot help yourself from squeezing the pliars. This blows the glass apart. With crescent wrenches you can adjust to the thickness of the glass precisely and when bending to break the glass it never squeezes but applies the pressure always to only the score line. After you blow up some super expensive drapery glass and unobtainium old Uroboros and/or Oceana you learn what to do. I come from the aerospace world. Just because people used glass pliars for a long time does not mean they are the best way to do it. Try crescent wrenches and save time and money. If in business this could be the difference between making money or going out of business.
So when you remove the spring, does it prevent the head from swiveling?
Great class. Thanks. I like this cutting base What's the name and where to buy it, can you tell me please?
It’s a waffle grid board! Shop a.co/d/eneY6Bo
А где вы учидись? Учебное заведение или частный курс? Вы так молоды, и такой большой опыт
Thank you! I am self taught! No schooling
Not me using the pushing and shoving method and thinking I still wasn’t using enough pressure 🤦🏻♀️( I’m brand new to stained glass) lol I’m definitely going to be trying your more gentle approach
So glad you found the video helpful!! Yes! Absolutely, save those wrists!
Thank you, just the information I needed to see 🙂 I just subscribed to your channel. Do you have cutting oil in your cutter? I am new to stained glass.
Yes I keep a little container with a sponge. I put a little cutting oil on the sponge and after I do a few cuts I will roll my cutter on the sponge to lube it up some more ☺️
@@KCGlassworks Thanks for your quick reply to my question 🙂
How many times did you have to practice that cut to get it right?
Not sure which one you are asking about but I do stained glass everyday so I get a good amount of practice in 😊
What are the instruments called I would like to get some
Toyo class cutter, running pliers, grozing pliers
@@KCGlassworks thank you
Hey can you tell me where to get the score thing and the player things
Amazon, stained glass supply stores, hobby lobby
So my cutter came with 3 different sized blades. Do you have suggestions for when to use each?
Interesting! Mmm honestly I have never seen that before. I just tried researching it but couldn’t find it. My cutter has the toyo TC-600 head on it and I use it for all glass types. I have seen other sized heads before but have never used them. Sorry I dont know more about this but I will definitely look into it some more!
@@KCGlassworks Thanks!!! So how often do you change your blade? I know you cut more than I do but I have NO idea how to tell when my blade is dull. I am VERY new at this....
@@deborahbarnard absolutely! So if you notice that your glass is breaking very poorly, it is time to switch out heads. If your breaks start not following the score line, especially on easy cuts, then you know its time for a new one! Hope this helps!
Hello, are there different millimeter numbers listed on the side of each cutter head? If so, I believe that has to do with the thickness of the glass you’re scoring; typical 1/8” stained glass, 1/4” plate glass, etc.
@@markmason3233 hmmmm I have not noticed any mm indicated on the cutter head
What is breaking tool called to buy $?
Stained glass scoring tool
It's physics ..a matter of weakening structure breaking point. .with a light score
"Hills & valleys" they call
thank you !
Absolutely!
