  Very cool, it came out great.

  I coincidentally looked up glass cutting recently and found videos of people cutting window panes by scoring a line and then smacking the scored section off. Is that what you do for cutting glass curves also? Your work looks too technically precise for the smacking method I saw.

    Essentially, yes. I can say that for curves I’ll do more tapping and hoping than smacking lol but there are different pliers (grozer and running pliers) that help the job along. For deep curves, I’ll score a bunch of lines in the space that I’ll be removing, tap, and use the grozer pliers to work away the bits… I actually made a video of the process with this piece, if I ever post it, I’ll tag you!

      Ha, that’s awesome, thanks for explaining. Yea, I’ll definitely check out the video when it goes up, sounds like a nail-biting, rewarding process.

        Here it is!

        It’s fast and tiny and you can’t see too much of the cutting… but it’s my first time attempting to share the process. Enjoy!

        You’re welcome! It’s definitely stressful and the reason it took me so long to quit smoking… but totally worth it when the sun shines through that glass.
