I have also found that with glass, after you score a line you best break it at that time. Glass tends to be self-healing and if you leave it for a long period of time, when you go back to break it there is a very big possibility it will not break correctly. I have done stained glass for 35 plus years now. I don't know if porcelain reacts the same but it is a type of glass so I would assume it would react in the same manner. Thank for the breaking trick. It looks better than the shot in the dark controlled hammer trick.
Thank you so much, this video saved me from spending forty bucks on a glass cutter that I don't really need right now.also I sort of ruined a. Couple small projects because I couldn't get the shoe off the bottom of my dish. Very helpful video .
Thanks so much for this detailed demo! I thought I was at the mercy of how my plates break with a hammer. I'm so happy to see I was SO wrong. I hadn't realized a glass scoring tool or the breaking plyers would work to get a desired shape with plates. I also see that I've been using my scoring tool incorrectly on my glass (for soldered shadowbox charms). I've been holding it like a pen or pencil. Looks like holding it close to a right angle to the surface will work better. I inherited 3 collections of decorative plates when my mom passed a few years ago. They have no sentimental value nor a monetary value to speak of, so I think making jewelry with them will net more value for me. Your demo has made me more confident to give it a whirl. Thanks again!!!
great video thanks, i needed to know what the tools were called, and what i would need, i do a lot of mudlarking and bottle digging so ive jusrt set up a little work area to make little items with the pottery i find. thank again great video. new sub to.
I love your videos ty! I was wondering if I have to wrap the china pieces with copper tape before I solder. Or can I just solder directly on the china. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
I bought it sooo many years ago, not sure if you can even get the exact one but there are plenty similar ones out there that work the same. I think it might be nesco?
When checking a plate for hidden cracks, flick it with a finger nail. If it has fractures it will sound dull. You want to hear a pleasant ching or ting. Not dung.

That was a perfect plate to show for a demo. Usually they are not and you have to get creative. Plates have a mind of their own.

Hello Loved it thank you for the class I learned so much! Kathe from Cali.😎

Wow! I have never seen a nipper like that. It seems to simplify the process of breaking the plate quite a bit!

Hello, do you have tours Books in french please
Thanks you
I cannot find pliers like yours anywhere. Where did you purchase them? Aside from running pliers, what else can I use? Thanks!
There is a link to them in the description below the video
What kind of oil is used in your scorer?
A light oil such as baby oil works fine
What brand glass scorer is that? I’ve been trying to see
I bought it sooo many years ago, not sure if you can even get the exact one but there are plenty similar ones out there that work the same. I think it might be nesco?
would an exacto knife work?
Nope
Works on tile too??
Yes, it should!

How do you smooth the sharp edges? Thats what nobody tells you. Isbitbin your book? Thank you 💛
Yes it is in my book! Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the glass cutter? name brand?
Hi Mary, it's just a standard brass handled glass cutter that you can get from most stained glass supply retailers.
When checking a plate for hidden cracks, flick it with a finger nail. If it has fractures it will sound dull. You want to hear a pleasant ching or ting. Not dung.
That's right, thanks for sharing that tip! 🌻
Why do you push the blade rather than pull it across the plate, it looks harder that way.
Just personal preference - I have more precise control that way and less prone to slipping from the uneven surface

Have you ever cut a glass plate? Into pieces? Not china/butt glass… Pressed glass cut glass.??? Thank you
I would usually use a glass saw to do that unless it is very thin, then I would use a manual glass cutter.
