The most amazing thing you'll ever see a kitty do. So I got a couple of pigs in the spring. A few weeks later, a little kitty shows up and starts hanging around with the pigs. It was sleeping on them on cold nights, they play together etc. The other morning i went out to feed them and here is what I find. The kitty is actually Suckling on the male pig. Who says teats on a boar are worthless?

The most practical solution to removing limescale or other build-up from your glass shower door or enclosure. American Glass & Mirror is your Minneapolis / St Paul, MN dealer for BioClean and other high quality frameless shower products.
Tempered glass doesn't always have a logo on it. Some people who would want tempered shelves or tabletops would not want a logo. We would order them and request No Logo.
Thanks very much,, now I know how to cut my mirror❤🎉
I placed a 1/4" mirror on a angle grinder fitted with a sanding disk. Worst finish ever. As I went around the corners literally chunks and globs were flying off, yes small globs just flying off.
Thanks for showing the "Correct" way. Nearly all other videos I've watched on how to cut glass show some bad technique or mistake. Your was the best so far. :)
❤
Wow, I called a glass place, asked how much to cut the mirror down, they said $30 an inch! Then I decided to look on here! thanks
🤣 I just realized its a kitty
Great instruction. I had great success cutting a 1/4 mirror! Thank you so much! Breaking out the score with your fingers worked better than a yardstick.
Originally a glass cutter, Guy found he had the incredible ability to turn himself blue on command and founded the "Blue Guy Team." This later became the Blue Man Group as we know and love today. 😉
I am a modest fellow so I did not want to make a big deal about the Blue Man Group, thanks
@@Americanglassandmirror 😂😂😂 awesome response
Great thanks. Shame this video showed up so far down in the CZcams search as I had to sit through about 20 other sub par videos before finding a real pros advice 👍
Omg you make that look easy
This video is very helpful, but I think it makes the guy a little blue. :D
Hi, nice video. I will be cutting 3/16” thick beveled mirror. Can I cut the bevel the same way or will the bevel break unevenly?
It does work on shower doors.
I am a journeyman glazier. You explained glass cutting better than most videos I have seen. Mirror is a delicate material which needs special care when cutting and handling. Thank you!
Appreciate the feedback, Johnny!
Super helpful! I'll comment again if I end up in the ER.
I needed a special size mirror for a project I am doing. I couldn't find the size I needed anywhere, So I was going to buy a larger mirror and cut it down. I found the American Glass and Mirror CZcams tutorial about glass cutting. Guy did such a good job on the tutorial, I decided to call them up and see if they had the needed size. I was able to purchase the size needed and not worry about possibly breaking up a larger mirror. Nice "Guy", great service.
He turned blue !!!!! min 3:15
How to break off a smaller piece of the side, about 2 inches wide? I feel it is hard to apply an even pressure with hand on both side. It is a large sizer mirror and I just want to cut it short. I didnot find a good video to show the tricks. Mose cut is through the middle, or using a small piece for demo. To cut a small piece from a large thick mirror is what I am looking for. Thanks!
That can be difficult. You can take your glass cutter and tap under the score to start the run. I like to start in the middle and work to the sides
running pliers for stained glass
Almost became a plumber because I always heard every woman wants a man that knows how to lay pipe
Awesome video editing + great tutorial
Really helpful info at the end about the sounds and visuals to look for. Thanks!
Is there a certain grit of sandpaper that should be used for the edges? I assume the finer the better?
That's exactly right. 220 would be ideal.
Thank you
You’re not gonna sell your product with a demo. I couldn’t tell any difference
Cheers, that was really useful - especially the end part about the sound a new cutter should make.
Looks terrible before and after.
I didn't think it was possible for somebody to be a douchebag while teaching you how to cut a piece of glass. It takes a special kind of skill. This guy could probably demonstrate his douchebag abilities while making a ham sandwich
How to cut thick glass at home. Lessons from a professional czcams.com/video/jeVbgtJ1Oks/video.html
You are a hell of a cutter
actually Joe I have everything that you have I'm 18 and own better cutters than you . which you dont have
Need 1/2"
What about 1/2 " glass same way or change ???
1/2" glass is more difficult to cut. The thickness makes it hard to run the score. Plus it almost always has to be polished after because the edge is not very smooth. Good luck!
I'm sure this is a great lesson in glass cutting. I know absolutely nothing about it so my thoughts amount to what I blame my dog for even though I'm the one who stepped in it . . . However if the very expensive pro cutter works no better than the $3 cutter, it may not be a professional . . . And I couldn't get any farther after I was told about everything I wouldn't have or anything close to it.
Is nobody gunna ask?? Why the f*ck are you blue in the end?
Excellent demonstration video...nice work and a new subscriber 109 Prefer the hybrid Toyo w/TC17 straight & 600 cutting heads for heavy plate Haven't tried cooking oil...used engine oil and/or transmission fluid with success even antifreeze with near freezing temperatures
your video was really helpful - I've had my share of challenges trying to save glass and re-using it by cutting it. I hope this helps w my next project...and thanks for having a sense of humor - you a funny guy, Guy ! peace...
hello, this is very helpful.Thanks for the video. I wanna ask something : I have a glass dining table with 1/4" and I want to cut it. However, I do not know which cutter i should buy. Do glass cutters come with different glass-thickness purpose (for example, one glass cutter is for 0.3 mm and the other one is for 0.6 mm, etc.)? sorry for my bad english. I hope u understand what I ask. Thank you
Motor oil would be a better option that you might have handy. We haven't tried cooking oils before. If you try it, let me know how it goes!
Thank you , 4sure I'll let u know if works out ;)
haha that's funny.
Thanks for educated and not a boring video:) My question is; can I use olive/canola oils instead of what u mentioned ? coz just going to use one time for a piece of mirror I don't wanna keep purchasing things for little diy project, Thanks
if the cut is white the mirror does not break so it looks like a scratch a toyo cuter was good
I used this today on my windshield and it works awesome.
Thank you,Guy. I am attempting to repurpose a bath mirror and you gave me the confidence to proceed. Wish me Luck
Glass actually looked the same before and after...lol it didn't work
Hi again well I bought the bio clean waterspot remover & I am sold on it... I had horrible water spots caked up thick on all my car windows after appyling it using just bit of presure it cut through all water spots windows look as they are brand new... Seen many videos out here on youtube using many technics swirlers on drills clay bar & so many other gimicks I know now that bio clean will be the only product I will ever need to use...Thanks much....
Happy to hear it worked out for your car window - it's pretty amazing stuff!
Benjamin Selinske Yes there are so many other products out there I had tried using invisible glass spot remover didn't do a thing to the glass will be taking it back to walmart..
is there different companies that make bio clean? & will this scratch car windows?
Hi Old Timer... Yes, there are different companies that make products called, BioClean. Ours is a glass cleaner, but there is a pipe cleaner by the same name. We get ours from a glass supplies company. I've never tried it on a car window, but wouldn't imagine you'd have a problem unless there is a tinted film on the glass.
This was very helpful only question I have is there better glass cutters or is it the technique mostly that creates good cuts?
Glad you found it helpful, Penny. For non-professionals, most glass cutters are created equally. A $6 Fletcher glass cutter from your local hardware store should fit the bill for the hobbiest or infrequent user. If you are going to be using it quite regularly, then you might consider buying a pen style cutter from CR Laurence or Bohle in the $30 range. That's what most of my guys use, although I'm old school and stick with the green Fletchers since that is what I cut my teeth on.
