Cutting wheels are tungsten carbide:
- don't go over a cut twice, it makes the wheel dull
- each wheel is good for 3 - 5 cuts, then throw it away; it is dull
- cutting oil helps, but the wrong kind makes the wheel dull
- looking at the wheel makes it dull
Not using the wheel makes it dull
Don't store it in a humid place, that makes it dull. Do not store it in a dry place, that makes it dull.
Don't look at the wheel while using it, that makes it dull
existing near the wheel makes it dull
The wheel is dull. It just came that way, sorry. Better get another one, quick.
Beautiful result Uri. One big thing which may be tripping you up is that you seem to be scoring the glass multiple times. That's generally a big no-no when it comes to glass cutting, and tends to lead to fragments being broken off rather than the crack propagating along the scoreline. Score once, snap once. Glass cutting is an art indeed!
Hey man, I just wanted to say I miss your videos. I've been watching since the kant twist clamp days.
He should try making an all metal version of Rock’Em Sock’Em Robots.
Yes, I should have looked at videos before I attempted to do it myself. They make it look dk easy😅. Perhaps a thiner plate would have help aswell.
I don't think I have the neck for glass work😂
@@urituchmanpigeon oh tell me about it, I gave it up long ago. Last time I tried was to make a custom rear view mirror for my van I ended up belt sanding it to shape 😄
A drop of oil or kerosene apples where you start the cut apparently also makes it easier to achieve a continuous cut line.
"I'm not a master engraver." *proceeds to prove otherwise
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm really not trying to be extra modest or anything, but when I see masters work online I can't help but feel a bit amateurish, which is totally fine by me.
Dude, you're epic, don't let anyone including your inner self tell you otherwise. My 2c.
Daddy is always pulling our leg :-) Thanks for the great video & new ideast!
@@urituchmanpigeon remember, its still 2 cakes
Cutting edge tool.
Thank you! In the Next project I'm making shears that'll be cutting hedge... Sorry
This channel is what I imagine an Artisan from the Renaissance would do, if he had access to TH-cam.
i actually think that is what happened here, he is a time traveler who brought a camera and computer back to the 1400s
couple tipps for cutting glass:
1: never cut twice over the same crack, it fucks up your cutting wheel. The one you used is probably pretty scuffed already.
2: tapping the cut with a hammer is a good way to deepen the cut. LIGHT hammer taps from the bottom (the uncut side) until the sound of the tapping changes
3: you can put some cutting oil on the cutter, it will make it last longer.
4: you can put something like terpentine where you will cut, it also enhances cutting power
Beautiful piece! Seeing these kind of videos makes me want to get into crafting again. Also top notch editing haha
also keep the pressure consistent. (no gaps)
When I have to cut a glass bottle, I score the glass once and then run boiling water over the line, immediately followed by cold water. I alternate between boiling and cold water a few times and usually that will break the glass perfectly along the line. I wonder if that also works for sheet glass.
It'd definitely work! But not really necessary. 'Running' the line is pretty easy with gentle pressure either from running pliers or pressing the glass into a foam or soft surface will work, or very traditionally, just tapping. Bottles are hard mode@@eelcogg !
The only other thing I would add would be some proper glass Nippers
also have a few whiskies...
I've been working with glass for several years now, and i have some tips.
1. You should never cut twice. One firm but smooth cut only, or it won't break properly.
2. You have to use a cutting lubricant (kerosene is fine). This is applied to the glass where you will make the cut.
3. When trying to break out a circle, you must do it from the back. Support the top (cut side) of the glass, and push directly on the bottom (uncut side) of the cut. You will see it break a little, and you just "run" this break all the way around. After that, you need to cut a relief on each side (where the circle is closest to the edge) and take the trim (scrap glass) off in 4 separate pieces. This is because you cannot remove a circle from a hole that's exactly the same size as the circle.
Your video editing has really improved. I love the Uri inserts, singing , in the lathe section.
It's been a fun journey watching him grow over the last several years.
"… engraving is inevitable so that's going to happen …" Thank you for reminding me that ornamentation does not have to be called for. I just replaced an 8lb (~4kg) sledgehammer handle and took the opportunity to mill flats on the side so I could engrave "Katy's Hammer" on one side and "Whosoever holds this hammer; should she be worthy, shall possess the power too… sunder timber" on the other. With flourishes of course, I am not an animal.
Ope, wrong 'to', may need to redo that, somehow
Cutting glass has been part of my profession for 24 years. It likes to fracture in straight lines, and in paths of least resistance. For that reason, scoring multiple times tends to cause jagged edges and additional fractures. A slow, deliberate and firm score works best. What can help with scoring is dabbing the cutter wheel on a sponge soaked in wd40. Idk why it helps, but it does. And when cutting circles/ovals score additional tangents to the circle so it looks like a whirlpool, making sure that there's about 5mm between the circle and the start of the tangent score. Tap the unsecured side of the glass, tracing the scoring. Tap the circular score first and gently so the scores become cracks. It will be visible when the scores crack. Once your circle is set, tap the tangent scores. The cracks should break to meet in the same direction on their own, and you can remove the loose pieces as they fall away.
Thanks for uploading. I always enjoy your content❤
_"Idk why it helps, but it does"_ - it lubricates the wheel, so it rolls easier on it's axis, and then WD-40/ kerosene/ glass cutting oil (yes, there is such oil) seeps into the score (which is a miniscule crack in the glass) - i.e. capillary force "push" it into the glass, and it either reduces the attraction between glass molecules (van der Waals force?) or in some other fashion facilitates the propagation of the initial crack (which is caused by "scoring", and lies underneath it) - or both (can't remember now exactly).
Also, "wiping off" the glass where you intend to make the score (just swipe yer finger across the glass) removes whatever dust have accumulated there and that helps to prolong the life of the wheel... or so I was told when I started my glazing job about twenty years before you did ;-)
@MrKotBonifacy this makes a lot of sense lol. Thank you
@@davidhoward496 Also, I forgot to say, but then you might know it very well yourself, so all the following is probably "teaching a priest how to say Lord's Prayer" but I'll write it anyway ;-)
So, high quality glass cutters have single wheel pivoting heads (so the head always stays 100% parallel to the direction of the cutting movement/ travel and/or the straight edge) and they have hollow brass handles which double as containers for cutting oil (which seeps down to the wheel lubricating it and wetting the score). Google for "silberschnitt oil glass cutter" (for example).
For regular "dry" cutters there are so-called oiling stands available, in which you place a small piece of cotton cloth or felt (a piece of a paper towel would also do) soaked in cutting oil - when you don't use the cutter you place it in this stand, and whenever you want to make a score the cutting head (and the wheel) is already oiled.
Also, I'm no longer doing any glazing (it's been "quite a while" since I quit it) - apart from occasional "could you help me, please?" for friends and such, and at any rate virtually all windows now use IGUs (aka double glazing units). Cheers!
The glass is tapped exactly along the glass cutter's line until a crack appears under this line. and I highly recommend changing the roller tip to corundum or diamond, the rollers do not cut well.
Nope. Diamond only scratches the glass. The steel wheel creates a line of weakness in the glass and the fracture follows this line. Try scratchig a piece of glass and you will find that the fracture line does not follow the scratch.
@@tednelson5277 I think you may be confused, as everything you said is wrong. First off all that "weakness" you reference is the scratch. All glass cutters - steel, carbide, and diamond - score or scratch the glass in order to encourage the breakage to follow that line.
It does not always follow the line, but that is due to the natural "grain" of the glass, not any artificial weakness caused by the steel cutter. Why would the weakness created by the wheel be off the path of the scratch anyways?
@@tednelson5277 i was try it a lot of time. line of weakness is pretty exist for scratch by diamond too, because fact of surface damage is enough for it with a little tapping. wheel instead require a lot of pressing for desribed result and often crack the glass if you press too strong. wheeel is advertised as a try to awoid tapping at all but it is not a good solution - just a cheap production. Additonally - wheel is awful for a small radius curves.
@@anatoliyzhestov3915 Sorry, but you are wrong. If the glass breaks wheel you use a wheel, you are no supporting the glass. Diamond only scratches. Ask any professional stained glass cutter.
@@tednelson5277 ask any professional you mention what he does and he will tell you - I draw hundreds of straight lines a day. In these conditions, a roller that can be changed frequently and is inexpensive is an advantage.
But among those who do small, precise work with small radii and want to get a very clean and precise cut, the number of diamond glass cutters may a lot surprise you.
there are many creative people here on TH-cam but i think what is special about Uri is his ability to get his ideas into realty.
Uri Tuchman, you make me smile every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
same. i love his personality
_Of course_ you made the fanciest glass cutter! You're Uri Tuchman-it wouldn't matter what thing you made, it could not possibly be less than the fanciest example of that thing in existence!
This person has a special charisma. He is like me in trying to use technology in my work, but I quickly return to my classic method.
Why am I not shocked that Uri found a way to make a glass cutter that looks like a Renaissance grade Derringer? 🤣
If you have ever eaten one of my mother steaks, you would change your mind about steel being harder than steaks. Uri you are a true artist with a gift that makes the world a better place when you share it with us. thanks for sharing.
"Do a little Circumcish" you're the best bud. Freakin love your channel
Love the tool! I would suggest making or buying running pliers and grozers to break the glass though. As fun as the wrench was and the hammer? Neither are for breaking the glass. Also, only cut the glass once. If it sings it's fine. Don't add extra stress to the crystal structure by cutting bunches. I teach stained glass to high schoolers and that's one of the top 5 things that'll break their piece. Lol
I found your channel yesterday and I love your videos!!! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your work. WE LOVE YOU URI!!!
Fabulous!
Thank you!
I like the engraved brass better anyway. Looks more authentic. As others have said, one pass withe the cutter is all you should need. Thanks for sharing!
Another work of art!
Outstanding, Uri!! Beautiful work.
You are such a goober, a brilliant goober. You are a World Treasure, ya goob.
I love the musical segments! Your videos are so much fun.
Brilliant editing!! Well done, you made me laugh a few times, thank you for this, stay safe and healthy 💚
Your vids are so fun and full of wonder, you always make me smile!
I fell in love instantly with your channel, they are so engaging, thank you for the content !!
🎵🎼There's only one Uri Tuchman!🎼🎵
What an incredibly beautiful looking tool you created Uri. I am so impressed & the hand done engraving just perfect!
Your videos are a treat. Thank you for making them!
Love your videos and your humor man, good stuff, the edits are very fun. Can't believe you don't have 1M subs yet. It's great to see legit artists on TH-cam being themselves. Cheers.
Never stop making those videos!
They are very entertaining! ❤❤❤
It’s so amazing, I can’t stop watching your art
I love seeing the intros that Uri comes up with, they’re almost as cool as the items he makes!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Your work is amazing!!
As always Uri a pleasure watching one of your videos, so look forward to them as they are entertaining and you are a very talented guy, keep em coming
Legendary as always!! Love the content!!
Love the level up you performed with your video editing, bravo.
Technically a glass cutter it's not a cutter - it's an incision-er. The real cut is done by putting enough pressure on the cutter while using it.
Second only cut one time - never go over a cut twice. It will ruin the cutter blade or the cut - mostly both. After the "cut" you can enhance the crack by putting oil inside and hitting it with something like a hardened steel ball bearing.
Apart from that your overall product is so beautiful! Keep on with this work!
Good to see you back Uri. Ive been worried about you. So happy you're making content again ❤️
Watching you make things is very fun, especially the hand engraving! It’s so satisfying to watch and the results are always so nice.
One scoring line, dont do multiple passes and add a little oil. Dont cut dry. Good consistent pressure all the way. You got this brother!!
thank you for you content Uri !!!
I really enjoy your videos, been watching for years!
Great stuff Uri!
Always a pleasure when I see a video from your's pop into my stream. Great job on the cool glass cutter. As always.
may i just say that the music choice is always on point!
Great to see you engraving again also much admire your imaginative work.
Uri so clever Uri. I love your sense of huma
trying new tools/workflow is always intimidating. I encourage you not to give up trying to incorporate those new processes. As much as I love seeing your brass/woodwork, It is refreshing to see you trying out new things and I hope you continue to do so.
Video editing second to none. Great work all round. Thanks for the videos!
It is awesome how much this man has evoled, and grown. Even his social skills talking to viewers are noticeably better. I am a fan of this channel definitely!
i love your work and your bizarre nature, thank you for doing what you do!
Love your channel!
Beautiful work.
This video is your masterwork. Bravo
Great video. I really love your style, energy and your honesty. I miss you describing your creations as delicious 😂
Your videos are as much works of art as the things you make in the videos. I get a goofy grin on my face watching them.
Brilliant as ever!! 🎉🎉
You rock Uri!
You make me happy, Mr Tuchman. I admire your willingness to try new things, fail, and learn. I think you are the most amusing and engaging engraver on the internet, so you might not be the master but you are very watchable and that is why you get my attention. Thank you.
Great work again, Uri
Man, i remember watching you make your early tools for engraving...ty for sharing these years with all of us.
This guy just kills me😂. You’re the best Mr. Tuchman. My favorite channel by a long shot.
I so look forward to your videos!
AMAZING glass cutter!
Such eloquent design!
hmm yes fancy!
I do stained glass window work in my free time. This thing is SO COOL. Love the utility of it.
Beautiful work as ever, when you sang ‘All around me is a million pieces…’ that killed me. Awesome.
Absolutely beautiful.
Uri Tuchman, taking the ordinary and mundane and transforming it into art and light! You shine Uri.
Always happy to see my favorite vampire machinist again :>
I massively enjoy your videos
Wow Uri! The video editing is amazing in the last videos.
(Also... Always preheat the mold before the pour)
I really enjoyed this one! Great content. More singing please😂
Oh man!!!! Your projects are approching clickspring's quality! This cutter looks amazing
Awesome design. Almost all glasscutters sold have a small ball attached at the other end. It's used to tap-tap-tap on the glass score line from underneath. You need a striker to make your tool complete. And I think you already have it. Have you ever pistol-whipped someone or thing? Probably not. Anyway use the buttend of the pistol grip to tap the glass and cause it to break.
There's no such thing as a bad video from Uri. Each video is an adventure. A pleasing journey of discovery. Always entertaining. Thank you sir!
You are a very good singer 😂. Keep on going!
I used to be a “machine operator” for an aerospace contractor. Which is sort of like being a machinist without the in-depth knowledge… Man all I can say is you a fantastic craftsman! You make it look easy but that takes some real skill! Keep up the great work.
Another video already!!!! Excellent. Getting a cup of tea and a couple biscuits and I'll be right back.
It's beautiful.
I can testify that your glass cutter works as well as any commercial one ever has for me.
Fantastic!
the printing/casting headache was still cool to see attempted, sometimes things dont pan out, but we love the process of finding out what might!
I’m glad you made the correction because I was pretty sure the cutters were made of carbide or sometimes diamond.
Thank You Uri Tuchman... GREAT ONE !!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL AND FUN TO WATCH!!!!!
(Q- HOW DO I GET THAT LAST LITTLE BIT OF TOOTHPAST OUT OF THE USED UP TOOTHPAST TUBE????????? ) ... TM
The way glass cutters work is "stress concentration" which just means that they make a very sharp but shallow gash in the surface which should make the glass split right there. The reason this works is because what breaks a material isn't just the amount of force but the force divided by the area where the force is applied which is called stress. So, if you make that area very small, like at the tip of a very sharp scratch, the stress becomes huge. So, it's actually better to make a single fine scratch with the glass cutter rather than going over the same line may times because while you're making the gouge deeper, you're also making it wider and thus duller
this guy is like a living embodiment of good chaos xD Love the vids man
I second the comments saying that the casting molds need some "spouts". Places where the extra metal can go, chasing air out. But for such fine detail you probably need to use an injection mold. I tried making flat molds but the result needs a lot of additional work to remove excess metal on the back and possible re-work details.
Having said that, the result is amazing, it looks so cool! I hope the client sends you photos of it in use
While everyone is trying to explain how to cut glass, I just want to say that little Derringer is BadASS! Beautiful engraving, nice handle, clever hinge and the case is perfect! Good job. If you come to the Maker Faire in California, I'll see you there. Bicycle rodeo!
Came for the the beautiful build, stayed for the iconic personality
Thanks for sharing.
Uri, I think next big project will be investment casting. It will allow to have smallest details. You can nickel plate locally with a wet sponge. If your steel quenched in water then it is W1. O1 is quenching in oil. I had also negative experience with glass cutting. When you scratch the glas you create a weak zone. Doing it multiple times does not help and opposite. When you start applying stress it does not cocentrate if you have several scratches. Perfect video. As always!
This should have way more likes!
Oh what an Idea.You areno doubt a master craftsman
This is so very very very beautiful, and as a glassworker I appreciate it so much!!!!!! Watching you try to cut glass without the correct breaking tools, and cutting twice though... 😛
Great photography and soundtrack! Groovy Glass Gun should be your next composition.
Thought you were going to fry some chips at some stage. 😂 Thank you for sharing another amazing video!
