Glass cutting


Here I sit cutting glass. Half-inch squares, three-quarter-inch squares, and irregulars (you know, the ones I mess up on lol). I got my glass cutter, a ruler (which I abandoned about an hour ago) and a small hammer. Oh I cannot forget the goggles I must wear. Safety first they say!
(See Picture)

I have the perfect tools, all the glass I can cut and a mindset to get it all done.


A minute ago, I was holding my hammer and cutters in one hand and a piece of glass in the other and suddenly I got an image of a glass-cutting warrior princess!

Fun fun fun!!

Did you know that you could soak a piece of twine in gasolin, strech it across the glass, set it on fire, then when thhe fire goes out pour water on the glass and get a clean break where ever the twine was burning? As a kid we used to make drinking glasses out og beer bottles-back when they were all glass and not plastic-this way. We use a fine grit sand paper to bevel the edges and had our own personal BudWiser bottle glass. ( You have to soak the labels off first-save them and after they dry gule them back on.)
