Use This [SECRET] Technique to Cut Stained Glass!

In this video I show you what I am calling the Hot Wheels Technique to stained glass cutting. It is a process where you are putting just enough pressure on your glass cutter that the head of the tool is completely compressed and you are gliding the tool across the surface of the glass. I personally believe it is an extremely effective way to score and break your glass very cleanly and without putting added pressure on your hands and wrists. I have seen my most complicated shapes be broken perfectly using this method of scoring. I hope it helps many of you glass artists in your glass scoring and breaking skills!

I feel privileged to have found these tips while I was simply looking to find out what tools I need to buy!

I have used a Toyo pistol grip for nearly 40 years now. It's the best for my hand strength and shape. I never fill it with oil. I put maybe 2 tablespoons in it. It will take a really long time to use that amount up. Textured glass is the hardest to cut. Opal is one of the easiest. Never rescore a line. You will do damage to your cutting wheel. The wheels can be replaced on the cutters but it gets costly if you don't take care of your wheel. I use the same wheel hundreds of pieces of glass. You can tell when your wheel no longer works. You will not be able to get a good clean score. Keep your cutter straight up and down. If you don't, your glass will break at an angle. You want square breaks. Just paying it forward as someone did for me.

Wow, thanks for the vid regarding technique and tool usage! I’m also loving how you made a double video. Instead of just going crazy and and snapping away like most other artists do, you stopped as necessary and critiqued the work as you went! Love it! Thanks again!🧑‍🎓

Excellent, thank you. I'm obviously pushing way to hard looking for that sound.
I was quite surprised to see you get that green glass arc cut in just one pass.😮😊😊

Thank you so much for this video. I was a push and shove cutter, but not anymore. I am getting closer and better cuts using the press and glide technique. Also, I am not wasting glass. Again, thanks so much for sharing. You rock!
