It's a 4 year old video and this man still Reply for all his comments.....That's amazing bro💓

Same!😁
We def love that!!
I wish every "how-to" video was this direct and to the point. It was a big help. Thank you.
You're welcome.... Hope you like my other Vids as well
An 8-year-old video and receive quick and precise instructions. Thank you 😊
Quick, easy, into the point. Video is perfect! I could not have asked for more! Thank you so much for saving me time and giving all of us some of yours. 😊
Wow! Thanks for such a nice comment!
Great video. Straight forward, well shot & to the point. I wish more how-to videos were like yours. thank you.
That's one of the best compliments I've ever received. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I agree! That is how to do a "how to" video. Thank you Phil.
Yep.
agreed
Totally agree and was going to same the same thing!
Explained extremely well and easy to follow! I found one of these tools in my Grandmother's stained-glass project supplies. I wanted to know how it worked and this answered my question clear and true. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :) ❤
Glad it was helpful!
I just wanted to drop by in the comments here and give this fella a HUGE round of applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This video was precise and immediately got straight to the point.
He said wat needed to be said, giving a brief demonstration of the steps as he went. His instructions were clear and simple, easily understood.
Personally I really appreciate and value his brevity.
Now adays it can be far too difficult to find a video that
#1. Gets straight to the point
#2. Gives clear, concise instructions
#3. Doesn't over complicate everything
#4. Doesn't waste my time and hold me hostage waiting for them to get thru all the "Predominantly Useless" makes and model sizes of every single tool , which stores carry the tools and sometimes a price Verses price comparison.
Thank you 😊
Thanks man. You saved me a lot of wasted time tomorrow with the added extra advice: "never try to cut tempered glass".
I have a shower screen to take to the recycling place and was going to buy a glass cutter and cut it in half to get it in the car. Turns out they're all tempered glass in Scotland as per the building regulations. Saved me a hell of a lot of hassle and I've learned n important lesson today. Subscribed 👍
Glad I could help. THANKS FOR SUBBING!!!!!!
@@PhilCrockett no problem 🙂 isn't it great to live in this day and age where you can learn these things the easy way by watching these videos. Would rather learn this way than with a dustpan and brush sweeping up the shattered glass 😅
Thank you. Easy. Fast. Great explanation. I've cut glass before but wanted a quick review and you gave me exactly what I needed!
Glad I can help! Thanks for the nice comment!
Pass the wheel through a couple drops of 3 in 1 oil to prevent flaking and get a better score
That's a common tip. Thanks.
lockupyour fatdog I'ma give that a try!
@@BengtRosini13 How did it go? I want to cut my 40" x 60" mirror in half!
Nice will try I’m going to make myself a cage for a bearded dragon

Wish I could've made it look as easy as you did. I struggled but I finally got it. 😂 Great video and thank you.
THANK YOU!!! Especially for getting right to it! I'm so sick of videos that are more about who made the video and showing them than what the topic is!! YOU ROCK!
That's how I roll! I hope my other videos are just as useful!
Wow, awesome video, very to the point and no stupid unnecessary music. Thanks so much
Glad you liked it! All my videos are to the point. I hope you enjoy them and appreciate them. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, my friend Gary.
0:34 he says “wheel” like Stewie says cool whip
must have a speech impediment! HAHAHAAA! You're right!!! what a loser!!! HAHAHAHAHAA
Stewie: He should lube the WHeel with Cool WHip.
Brian: Cool Whip?
Stewie: That's right, Cool WHip.
Thank you for this instructional video. I like that the directions are simple and straightforward. Although it might be important that you include using safety glasses when doing this.
Great video, Phil. Straight forward and to the point. Learned exactly what I needed to know in 2:55. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Mark!
Great instructions. Very straightforward and simple! now time to try for myself
Thanks!
Wow...thank you for the simple, concise and straightforward instruction! Now, I'll just have to practice, like you said! Btw, you made me purchased the tool and glad to find the one just like yours for only 1.04€ :)
Good purchase!
Simple video. Contains the stated information with no bells, whistles or dancing bears. Tried it this morning with a glass cutter from my later father's toolbox. Worked perfectly after a couple of tries. Thank you.
excellent! all it takes is practice
Videos can last and teach for a very long time. Thank you sir!
You are very welcome, Timothy!
very helpful I broke several mirrors until I watched your video and realized I have to score the glass side and not the metallic side
oh no! Well, I'm glad I could help you out, Christopher! Thanks for the positive comment!
He said mirror side up not glass side up
@@sfsasdg129 the mirror/reflective side IS the glass side. The reflective foil/silvering is applied to the back of the mirror
I found that tool in the house I bought amongst extra old tools and didn't have a clue what it was. I'll have to give this a try on my next DIY project, thanks!
It's a great tool to have! Glad u liked my vid! Thanks for the positive comment!
ME TOO!!!! i found a "Fletcher No. 02" in an OLD toolbox. no idea how to use it ?
but i was pretty sure it was a glass cutter. I've never needed to use one. but now i want to :-)
Clear, simple, and to the point. Glad I watched or I would have been tempted to make two passes.
Yes, just wanna make one pass for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
7 years later and I have learned yet another useful skill, thank you good sir
Edit, glancing through your channel i may have to watch more, some handy info you have out here
A high wind knocked over a hall mirror I had on my porch which shatter a lower corner, the rest of the mirror is fine. So being the sort of person who does not like to see useful things go to waste I bought a glass cutter to salvage the useful part. I thank you very much for this instructional video Phil because I may have ruined the good part if I had not watched your video., Thanks again bro~!
Tim, so glad I can help you out! I'm assuming it went well. I just finished cutting a bunch of glass for homemade picture frames last weekend. Feels good to craft your own! Thanks for the comment.
Simple, straight to the point. Thank you 😇
Thank you so much for watching!
Greetings Phil- excellent video! Just wanted to add a word of gratitude and appreciation along with the rest of the positive comments. I needed to cut a lot of glass for outside house lights and needed refresher training. This video did the trick simply and concisely & communicated good habits & technique. The lights are reassembled and ready for re-installation with fresh glass. Thank you- from the Cape of Good Hope peninsula SA
Glad it helped, Matthew!
I wish all the how to videos were as straight forward and well explained as this one!! Could give 100 thumbs up if I could!
Thanks, Yaz!!!
Great video, very instructional. Thank you, you deserve recognition.
Ingnir, I really appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks!
I broke a mirror and they said I will have
7 years bad luck, but my lawyer says he can get me 5 😏
I'm going to use that line! thanks!
All yours my friend...enjoy! :)
If you salvage a mirror from an old house
Or dumping site
You regain your 7 years
Cool !!! He must be like... all professional 'n stuff.
Good.job.my.friend.l.want.to learn.how.to.cut.glaas.and.mirror.
.
Wow man, fantastic. I'm so glad I searched.
You present the info exactly how it works best for me, too. Direct, to the point, concisely and clearly spoken.
Explicit instructions with a few pointers.
Thank you for making this!!
You're welcome. I hope you find all my videos "to-the-point". That's my goal! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this because I'm standing there at Harbor Freight with this little tool in my hand thinking I feel like there's more that goes with this but didn't want to ask because I already felt like an idiot being the only woman in the store and plus everyone was busy helping other people and so I'm like I'll just buy this I'll go on UA-cam when I get home and see what I can find worst case scenario I'm headed out to Harbor Freight to buy whatever piece goes with it... and then I found your video and I'm like where has this man been all my life? You sir are awesome and for that I thank you!!!!
THANKS, SARAH!!! Hope my other videos help you out as well!
I had one of those red things in my tool box and never knew what it was for
Go to a glass shop and ask for some free large pieces of broken glass. Then practice on them. I had a job in college working for University greenhouses, and I learned how to cut glass there. Those were old-school greenhouses that had really glass panes. I use to practice on broken pieces until I got good at it. Hope you learn a new skill! Thanks for commenting!
Lol
How does your toolbox have tools that you don't know what they are for?!?
Thank you so much for this video! I’m doing a glass unit in my art class but my teacher didn’t explain how to cut the glass very well, this helped tho!
You are so welcome!
This video is PERFECT! I'm not cutting glass, but I'm trying to write a character who is, and I couldn't ask for a more straightforward guide. TYSM!!! :D
thanks
Thank you. The first video that I came to that didn't sit there and talk and talk. You got right to the point. Great little video. 🙂
I hope you'll find all my videos "to the point". It's my goal.
@@PhilCrockett Yes sir!!🙂
More than the video itself, your well manners made me subscribe. Continue being cool, yes, good manners are cool too!
Thanks Jose! God bless you my friend for your positive comments!
great video! Quick question would you use the same technique if the mirror piece you need is less than a inch or would you recommend the "knocking" piece that separates the mirror with a firm press along the line?
hmmmmmm.....that's a tough one. it all depends on the length. You could make it more than an inch by sandwiching and clamping a couple boards, or wide rulers on the short piece and try the table edge method. you really just need even leverage.
Phil Crockett Okay thanks! Ill give that a try, thanks for your promt response. Ill be sure to reference your video when I make my DIY project. I've liked and subscribed.
THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING!!!!!
Beautiful!!! I now feel confident about cutting a piece of glass for a project. Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome, Gloria!
I'm glad I didn't throw away this little tool, was digging through a whole load of vintage tool boxes & stuck the red devil in my work pouch not even knowing what it was for.
i'm glad you didn't too. very useful little tool for sure.
At 2:45 I see some of the reflective material chipped off. Is there a way to minimize that?
This is definitely an issue at times. The best answer is to practice doing this and most importantly to do the best at lining the score up on a very hard, square edge. I'm wishing I would have been more particular when I filmed the mirror part of this.... I kind of rushed through it because I usually don't worry too much about a perfect edge due to it being covered by a frame. I frame all my glass and mirrors. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question.
Ah, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
Nincadalop use kerosene along the straight edge before scoring, and put a pencil directly under the score. You only need about 2 inches of the pencil. When you press the outside of the glass, it will break perfectly. I am a professional glazer, and we only snap 3/8 or thicker glass because it leaves that nasty edge
@@thundervalley9766 Correct but only 1/2" or less of the pencil insertion is needed.
wow that quick snap looks scary! is it?
Nope. Just wear gloves and practice on free broken pieces until you get the hang of it. Thanks for the question!
thanks!
You're welcome!
Extremely scary... Not for the faint of heart...
Thank you for this. My sister and I want to trim glass shards to make Christmas presents for Mom and Grandma. This helps a lot.
You are so welcome!
Excellent crisp clear and consise demonstration....I did not realize it was so simple! - Thank you.
You're welcome, Jay C !
Also, running a small bead of 3 in 1 oil along area your going to scribe, helps with the cut.
Dale Voyles nope....your wrong I used to cut glass
Dale Voyles metal lube is best made outta banana oil keeps the cut fresh if you don't use anything and cut glass you could possibly burn your cut
Put the oil on the cutter wheel. And remember, if your cutter wheel does not make an obvious "scratching" sound, it is NOT working. Purchase a new glass cutting tool.
indeed. Thanks for the tip, Dale
"That's the side you will make your score."
That's what she said. 😉
as informative and professional this video was, some one still managed to get a laugh out of it lmao
It’s funny cause he the way his voice sounds reminds me of Mike Judge (Beavis&Butthead)
Thanks, Ryan! I'll put that on my next resume!
I stumbled upon this video and decided to watch as I'm a glazier and it's quite good for beginners enjoyed the vid mate
Glad you enjoyed it
Safe and concise directions on cutting glass and mirrors...thank you.
You're welcome
I'm going to try to cut my mirror.
Thank you....
Let me know how it works out
'
after cutting glass--mirror split...
use a file or sandpaper
I'm a fan of sanding on a table sander. Really does a great job.
Most clear and precise tutorial I have ever seen. Thanks 👍
Thanks for the great comment! I hope my other videos are just as useful
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Applying kerosene before cutting will give more smooth finish.
Thanks for the tip!
Peanut butter to
@@johndro8235 seriously? Lol
the real reason that you lube with kerosene is to wash out
small glass particles from the axle to keep it from wearing down.
so as with any mechanical device it keeps your cutter running smoothly .
@@wowiezowiepowie The other equally valid reason is to keep the score from freezing. It must NOT freeze!
It's crazy how much I completely over-thought this process. lol Great video, thanks.
Glad I could help!
Your instructions are great. I have a 19" glass vase and the stem 1/2 broke and I need to get it off and put a new stand onto it. I will do multiple scores and tape well.
Thanks for the great comment, my friend!
Thanks. This was helpful.
I tied cutting some glass earlier today and it didn't go well as I was winging it.
After watching this video I now know what I was doing wrong.
glad my video helped!
This helped me out a lot as I just got done making a new side mirror for my truck. Worked great Thank you much.
You're welcome
That's so cool. I found an old glass cutter just light that. It says Shaw England on the side and it is pretty rusty. The cutter part is rusty.
These things are cheap enough, probably best to get a new one instead of using a rusty one.
I bought a full length mirror that was too tall to hang inside my closet door. I was able to cut it down using a similar tool. Thanks so much!
I could help you out!
Got the tool quite sometime ago but never got to use it (don't know how) then I found your video.... straight forward and easy instructions to follow. Thanks Phil
Glad my video helped you out, Susan! Hope my other ones do too someday.
Finally I can stop searching.
Thanks for this video this 🙏🏽
He is very straight forward with this tutorial. I like it that way. Not much blah-blah.
THANKS! I try...
Thanks for the short & easy to follow instructions.
You're welcome!
To the point. Great video. Not drawn out like so damn many others. Appreciate the insight.
Thanks, George! All my videos are to-the-point. I do that on purpose, and have gotten really good feedback for it. Hope you like my other videos as well.
Technique worked perfectly. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video! I still can’t help hearing “wHeat thins” in Stewtie’s voice when he says “wheel”
Sorry!
For a how-to, less is always more. Great job!
I agree! Thanks for the great comment!
Cutting a lid for a fish tank currently... perfect explanation! Thanks😄
Glad it was helpful!
Precise and to the point, thank you sir. I will be trying this tomorrow. Well done 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Jerek!
Great video. Too the point, no extras. I love it. Look forward to trying this out.
Glad you liked it, Jerenemy!
It’s a 6 year old video and mans still replies to comments what a 🐐
I'm the "goat". THANKS!
all videos should be this clear and understandable!
Glad you like my vid! I try to keep all my videos "to-the-point". Hope you can watch my other ones as well. Thanks again, Dave!
great video. quick and to the point. subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
What are the notches and the ball at the other end for? Thanks for a clear and precise explanation on how to do this. You've helped tremendously!
The notches in the tool are for snapping off slivers that have been cut close to the edge of the glass. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, my friend!
Thank you for a simple, clear explanation! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
If only Phil would, at least comment about all the rave reviews that he is getting since 4 years ago...because I am impressed too.
Thanks, Dale!
Perfect information for my project.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, I have been wanting to cut glass for crafts for a while, but it’s a bit intimidating, You make it look easy
thanks!
Excellent video..... short and precise !
thanks, Ruchi!
Straight to the point, thank you.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Excellent video brother!
thanks!
I have always had trouble cutting glass. I wasn't holding the glass cutter correct all this time.excellent video.
Just make sure you wear gloves! No matter how careful I think I am, I will always cut myself if I'm not wearing them.
Thank you from Brazil!!!
You are welcome!
Just bought a glass cutter for a DIY project I'm about to do, this is so helpful! Thank you!
Good luck with your project. I definitely would practice on a few scrap pieces first. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you! Informative and quick
You're welcome
Perfect tutorial thank you!
I’ve been scared to cut glass because if something goes wrong, it can go REALLY wrong 😨. But this is definitely a solid level up in my diy skills, and will help me achieve a lot of projects I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now. Thank you for the instruction, I’m looking forward to learning this new skill!!
Go for it!
Great vid bro, really helped me out as I am about to build a glass house
That's great! here's a tip...... down throw stones if you decide to live in it. You're welcome!
Thank you Brody your a real one
It’s only one word in my head when you did it, COOL! Great instructions.
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback!
That's awesome sir thank you for teaching us to how to cut with no difficult in cutting the glass or it's not a big deal😊
Most welcome 😊
That was so well presented and very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful, James!
Worked like a charm! Perfect!
GREAT! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Bobby!
Great info, thanks! Worked like a charm. Fixed my garage door then a broken mirror almost 1/2" thick! Learning that SNAP was what counts...
Glad my video helped you out, Chris! I appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for taking the time!
Good video. You can also use a sharp piece of tungsten to etch the glass
That would be a fun experiment!
@@PhilCrockett yeah I just cut a mirror with my old tungsten scribe. It was easy, did like you said and made one line and then broke the mirror in half perfectly
Excellent! Thanks for teaching me something new! Love it!
Thank you! Perfect video, clear instructions!
I'm curious as to the shape of the tool.
What are the 3 notches for?
They seem to me to look each as wide as thicknesses of glass, and why is there a round ball at the end?
Oh also, would you and if so with what, sand the cut glass?
Thank you very much again!
Isabelle Victoria British Columbia
The three notches or four snapping off slivers that are too short to be grasped by hand.
When I worked in a greenhouse, I would custom cut glass and sand the edges on a table sander using coarse sandpaper. It worked very well. I hope this answers your questions
@@PhilCrockett Oh.
Best video on cutting glass.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Johnathan!
This guy can do shorts perfectly ❤️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate the concise manner of your instruction.
One question... it's there a purpose for the 3 cut outs/ indentions just above the wheel?
the 'cut outs' are for snapping off slivers
Thank you. Very simply explained.
Glad it was helpful, Charlotta! Hope you like my other videos too!
