don't worry, it's perfectly safe! in fact, you don't actually NEED gloves for glass cutting -- it's all based on the level of skill and the comfort of the person. all other safety precautions are necessary, though.
@@sleepy.timaeus.arts. still not a good idea.. especially beginners should not wear gloves so they can learn how to handle glass and the cutter properly
@@m__nl_ght2573 When you are a beginner you should practice how to use the tools without handling any glass. When you know how to use the tools you should move on to the glass using gloves. Once you have a good handle on the glass you can start using thinner gloves or stop using them. But you should always use gloves and glasses as a beginner
@@sleepy.timaeus.arts. Beginners should also not wear safety glasses so that they can experience being hurt more easily so they get more experience to level up to professional
beginners and ppl who are prone to cutting themselves should definitely wear safety gloves. however, professionals or experienced people don't because they'd rather feel what they're working on directly instead. like how other people would use laundry gloves when scrubbing clothes to avoid dermatitis or touching harmful/itchy chemicals in soaps ot bleach. more confident people prefer washing clothes w their bare hands so they can scrub surfaces of the fabric better because they can feel stuff like hardened stains. edit: another good reason is that sometimes, it's safer to not use gloves. i'm pretty sure there's an explanation related to stained glass making, but an example of this is not wearing gloves when handling chemicals in a laboratory, especially acids, because when your skin comes in contact with strong acid, you can easily wash them off, but if it melts your gloves, your gloves may adhere to your skin.
Oooh this takes me back to my high school days! My school had a class that worked with stained glass. I wont lie I was terrible at it and I took that class for 2 years xD
My mom loves to make stain glass art but she never has the time or motivation to do it between her job and her family. The first time I learned about this interest was when she helped my stepdad make one as a birthday present for his sister, and she hasn't done it since. She's so excited to possibly retire next year, and with the grandkids grown, she'll have more time to create ❤
stained glass is gorgeous and I have infinite respect to those who use it as their medium of choice, and I kinda want to learn how, but I have sensory issues and the sound of scoring the glass would make me want to throw the glass as hard as possible at the nearest hard surface and cry
I'm unsure how you feel about loud noises, personally I also hate that noise but do like loud music and shit so this is just based on what I would do but- maybe try a hybrid pair of noise cancelling headphones, they cancel noise (obviously) and can play music! So I'd just turn on noise cancelling and blast that music /gen /info
I'm pretty sensitive to sounds as well but it wasn't too bad for me but for solutions there are those little foam disposable earplugs that block out sound you can look into getting some of those if the sound really bothers you or just wear some noise canceling headphones and jam out to some music while your working with the glass
It seems to be a dieing art tho. I've loved stained glass all my life but it wasn't till recent years that people found it again😢😅 I hope it isn't a trend it this type of craftsmanship sticks around
What is that mat you always cut glass on? I assume it’s a raised grid platform for catching the little bits that break away. I’d like a small tutorial on that as well!
My mom has been doing stained glass since I was a little girl. It seems like an art form that is being lost slowly. I don’t see as many people doing it as there used to be. I have been taught how and worked with her on pieces a lot over the years. Watching these videos is making me want to go out to her shop and work on something.
You can also make it even safer and less sharp while cutting under water. If you get a big enough bin and fill it with water, you can use scissors to cut the glass. It will always cut super easy due to the slowing of vibrations thanks to the water. As well as come out smooth and you can get the details more quickly around the shape. Hope this helps as well.
If you're just cutting the glass you don't need ventilation or any specialized gear for that matter aside from a pair of safety glasses and maybe gloves if you want to be extra safe
Ive always been facinated with glass mosaics that artist makes and always wanted to try my hand at it. This video is most helpful and i hope you'll make a full video describing each task. Its so soothing to watch you work your way . Hope this channel gets the love it deserves.
Tap. There's a reason glass cutters have that ball on the end. If you always use the grozing pliers, you risk creating micro cracks that can later break the glass.
Hi! This is amazing, I’ve always wanted to know more about making stained glass. I’d love to create one day. Seems like so much baseline equipment is necessary
Watching this makes me miss doing stained glass. My papa got into it after my grandma died, and he taught me and my brothers and cousins how to do it. This was when I was around 11-13, and I believe my oldest cousin now has his equipment since he eventually stopped doing it a while after meeting his new wife a few years later.
I guess people learn it differently, but at my school, we dont use gloves, and we cut up to down not down to up. Also big cuts like the first shown, we break with the hands, but the tool will make it easier i guess. Also we learn that you hold the cutter in an straight angle, like vertically There are many ways to do this, nothing is a really "right" way
I work with glass all the time at work, cutting it,breaking it, ect. I never use tools to break it, I just use my hands. Get a clean break Everytime 🎉 ( I work at a custom framing shop)
I personally prefer to break glass by hand. But if you are using running pliers, don't hold onto the glass. If the glass shatters because you didn't score it right, you're likely to hurt yourself.
Hey love there are different Typs of Glas cutters. What you are Right now using is a standard one. There are ones with a much thiner Head and no moving Head. With That you Can cut nearly Perfect Long the line and don’t spend as much time on the grinding maschien. Also best Glass cutters are from Bohle the Series is called Silberschnitt/ Silvercut
I'm glad I saw this, I thought I might like having a go at adding glass cutting to my creative outlets, but that sound is a big no. I'd like to see how it turned out though, maybe with the sound off.
It also helps if you put water in the score line. I have no idea why this generally gets a better line, but it does. I have used spit. I am not very artistic but I do lab work and I have to cut glass from time to time
Some noise canceling headphones might also be useful because that sound of the thing that makes the initial line is not something I could imagine someone wanting to hear repeatedly
If you want to try an...interesting thing. You can cut glass underwater with scissors. Just submerge the glass and scissors in a large tub and cut like paper. The glass doesnt cut like paper but does flake off quickly. You can get surprisingly exotic shapes Very quickly and easily. Though the usual scoring is still quicker for straight lines.
@@AmayaJade I mean obviously not your technique you are demonstrating in the video, but the underwater glass cutting technique is very fun. Grandpa taught it to me.
@@Jmpwfdpdlsnarky and uninformed as you may be it's a technique that's been in use for thousands of years. The meso-american obsidian carvers used it to produce incredible complexity
Btw she didn’t use gloves because she has been doing this for some time and she is a professional but if you are a beginner you should use the safety equipment just wanted to tell you guys that ❤
To the people who don't understand: This video is for beginners, that's why she's recommending the safety gloves. But she is not a beginner, and like most experienced glass workers, she doesn't wear gloves. The more experienced you get, the more comfortable you are. She's spoken about her reasons for not wearing safety gloves, mainly that they get in the way and can make it harder for her to get exact cuts. However, if you are a beginner, use gloves because you don't have the muscle memory needed to work on glass without cutting yourself.
Back in high school, we didn’t wear gloves cause it was a money issue idk. Only the teacher wore some. I was cutting some glass with my classmates for a project or something and for some reason the glass piece I was cutting off snapped into two additional pieces. One of the two stabbed me in the palm and the other fell to the floor and shattered. My teacher got angry at me for not wearing protective clothing. Brother, the only protective clothing we got to wear was aprons. 💀
When I was 13, I decided that scissors, a screw driver and a hammer would do … I mean, it didn’t do what I wanted it to but it did work out in the end (I wasn’t cutting stained glass though, just glass) … wasn’t the smartest thing I did, I still found splinters on my couch months after 😅
I was always taught to have the curved part of the grozing pliers on top if you're just breaking glass and then flipping them over to the flat side when you need to shave smaller chunks off of the glass
I've tried this and my goass never breaks as nicly as yours. If it's not too much trouble could you tell me how thick is your goass? And Where do you get it?
To those trying this at home, you WILL get cut, a lot. You need gloves. Do not wear jewelry and long nails will make it more difficult, just like any other craft.
To know how hard you are pressing, the person teaching me told me to listen for that squeaky sound the cutter makes. It you hear it, you’re pressing hard enough.
God loves you all so much! And so do I. If you ever need reminding on how you’re not alone, and you’re loved, just remember that God will never ever EVER leave or forsake you. No matter what your background is or what you’ve done in the past or what you do now, even in the future. God will never not love you. God bless you all. ❤😊
So, this is to both the video maker but also any other glass cutters that may be here: I’m curious, do you have to buy new glass cutter blades, or new glass cutters themselves, or do they last for a long time or what? I haven’t been able to figure that out

Me too.

A lot of professionals don't, but beginners definitely should
Don't forget you need proper ventilation AND cover all cuts if you are working with lead.
Ventilation to cut glass?

Gloves just make it worse tbh because you have less control

@@lekalmao2742 Yeah I guess. Might've meant for beginners
We had an art class in my high school where we made mosaics and nobody had gloves and nobody cut themselves and we were all beginners
Cut glass is incredibly sharp. Highly recommend getting a grinder to bevel the edges if you are handling your pieces as a beginner.
Yes! She does usually use a grinder, but this isn't a full tutorial.
Just rub the Edge of another glas piece against it once or twice Problem solved

Always break glass so that you are pulling the price towards you so that if extra shards shatter they will not hit you
- Make sure you have safety gloves and glasses.
(Doesn’t use them)
Just curious, do you find fine shards of glass? Isn’t it irritating on the skin? I imagine like with fiber glass it gets everywhere :O
"What you need to cut glass: glass, glass cutters..." Say no more.
I’ve done this ❤
Do you then grind or sandpaper off the rest of the glass in the border? Or are the pieces supposed to be a little bigger than the template?
Me: so why am I watching this??
My brain: Just in case
i had to do this for art class in 8th grade and make something so i made an apple
Have you ever gotten hurt while working with glass? I want to make a glass project but I'm scared ab it
