Cutting Glass Sheets

Using a glass scribe, I ran it along the surface of a sheet of glass which left a slight engraved line along with a small amount of oil. This oil is there to create a smoother line. Using only a tiny amount of force, I held the glass on either side of the scribe line and twisted it. The glass has been weakened along the line so it then cracks and creates a clean break. I repeated this several times to create many thin strips of glass. I enjoyed this technique because before I was scared of glass and it’s potential harmful qualities, yet this made it predictable and easy to use. It was also a little fun when breaking the glass.
