How to cut glass - curves

[MsPepsiPat]

I have these huge thick square glass candle lids that would make cool ashtrays. How best do I cut the little cigarette rest spots?

can u break into a house with this

[HercegodSvetogSave]

@Trevorisbeast1 i think so, not sure what thickness off glass this things can cut trough dough, say u take a plunge and some rope, then u tie one end of the rope on the plunge and the other end on the cutter, then u place the plunge on the window and use the rope to cut an even circle around the plunge, then u pull on the plunge and a piece of the window comes out with it, though i would recommend testing this first, since I have no idea what I'm talking about =P SERIOUSLY I'M DELUSIONAL !

Why don't you wear gloves for safety precautions?

It looks like you are going over the same line with your cutter. I was taught to not do this, as it damages the cutter.

Perhaps a voice over would help?

@webyourstuff - I'm not going over the same line.

Buy a cutter with hollow barrel you fill with oil, called a "oil glass cutter". The tip depresses letting oil run down the wheel. I like to lightly roll it one time to lay down a line of oil.. You press harder to score a line into the glass. You cut by sound not many people realize it.. A smooth non stop sound is the ticket. Too hard the score fries or too light and won't break smooth. The score is really vertical small breaks so when you snap it those little breaks go all the way through.35yrs

I did a stained glass course for a while (i have all the scars to prove it) but one day i left my soldering iron resting on some glass the wavy bumpy type and it shattered into 2 pieces with an amazing curve that could have only been done with a water cutter (if anyone tries this just make sure your not near the glass when it breaks , I was just lucky lol

What is so great about it, is that it helps me to see how to do it. So far glass cutting has not been easy for me, even straight shapes all the same size are hard. Thanks!
