Working with tempermental glass II

I'm showing this again, with another score/break, in case you didn't believe me the first time.

Here I need to cut an inside curve in art glass that has been shown itself to be problematic, because the whole sheet has slight waves and buckles in it, that result in very uneven distribution of pressure while breaking on the table's edge. Here I demonstrate how to tame this glass by using the knocking technique (with the ball of the glass cutter) on the underside of the glass, even if the piece of glass is small, and the score is short. I start with gentle knocking, which I intensify slowly until the piece drops off.
