    Well done. I was going to use the word saga like a Star Wars reference but glad you pipped me to it!
    Cutting glass and tiles is a pain (or pane in pardoning the pun! lol). That bamboo seems to be doing the trick for the right pressure!
    You could always make a cold frame with any spare glass or even use the poly carbon for cold frame seedling starters. The pallet(s) could be cut down into 4 sections, with the window(s) as the lid.

    • @JBNat
      @JBNat  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great idea! A cold frame is one of those little projects I've had in the back of my mind for ages! I have loads of sheet plastic left over from the first greenhouse I ever made which I should really repurpose!

    🥳 I cheered out loud at 9:20 when the corner piece went in, “it’s perfect!!!”

    OMG, great content JB I was holding my breath when you made the first cut, well-done and good luck with the rest. You've got this. 👍

    • @JBNat
      @JBNat  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ha! Thank you Derek!! Glad it was enjoyable

    When completed don’t forget to clean all the glass. 😂
    By the way I just eaten my first crop of the microgreen radish from Grown local that I won. It was very nice, it tasted like peppery cress. Thanks again

  • @AmirsAllotment

    So satisfying how those two front bays worked out and have come together nicely 👍

    Well done JB it's been fantastic journey I've just started mine rebuilt an 8ft x 6ft greenhouse and i am coupling to a 6ft x 6ft greenhouse that's already built using some spare's I've got, when it's complete it will be a greenhouse 6ft wide by18ft long

    • @JBNat
      @JBNat  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds brilliant Stephen, you are a DIY wizard!

  • @UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm
    @UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey JB, This was so much fun to see how the first cuts did not go well but you kept going and then all of a sudden you got it!! It is like teaching someone to drive a manual transmission when they finally figure out the clutch pedal. I am so so happy for you with all the thought and effort you deserve to have a win. Now I can't wait for the end result. Just be very very safe around the cut glass there are so many sharp spurs and barbs that can cut very deep so fast. You have good gloves be sure to always have them. Bye for now

    Looks so much better, well done with the challenge of glass cutting. If you want to remove small remainders use a pair of pliers and nibble them off.

    • @sharonl_74
      @sharonl_74 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They have special glass pliers just for that purpose!

    • @JBNat
      @JBNat  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No way!! That has made my day. Wasn't meant to be instructional but I'm so glad it helped 😁

    • @danielknight3940

  • @katherinegolightly271
    @katherinegolightly271 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You're doing great! A couple of things that will help with the cutting are, to make sure you brush off the surface you are cutting on to make sure there is no grit or anything under the glass, and cleaning the glass will help also in getting a clean score. I'm glad to see you are getting somewhere. I wish I had a real greenhouse.

    • @JBNat
      @JBNat  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes this is a great point! I realised that during the first cut and then was just wiping down along where I would score! What's your greenhouse situation?

    Thank you, JB., I just inherited another greenhouse frame. I was sitting here wondering whether I should try putting in glass in the place of the missing Polycarbonate panels and I reloaded your video a second time. So, your video has given me something to think about. JB thanks again!

    Hi JB I'm impressed, I broke quite a few panes of glass before I just seemed to get the knack like yourself, Triangle shapes seem to be the hardest to get right for me as I'm in the measure once & cut twice camp.

    @ion_trooperclive6751 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jb if you don’t have cutting oil to put in glass cutter use white spirit it will save the cutting wheel probably run out everywhere but also make sure glass is clean where you are going to cut, I shouted at you when you did the other cut the other side never do that, also if it doesn’t break the end of the glass cutter where you fill you can gently tap the glass from up under on the score line you will see the glass start to crack on your cut line hope this helps and like someone else said you can nibble off any bit that is left as old glass can be harder with age Good luck with the rest ..
