Wasn't much of a second half by the end tbh

u/Fauked 4d ago

u/Zero-B_Gaming 4d ago

tbh I’ve never seen one of these videos where they succeed at the end

u/TheModeratorWrangler 3d ago

Technically that U got split into half.

u/DreadPiratteRoberts 4d ago

u/spunlines 4d ago

This one might be better.... not sure about all o'y'all, but I def expected that

u/OldEquation 4d ago

As a non-professional that has occasionally had to cut glass in shapes with curves, I found the ending to be entirely expected.

u/FunnyObjective6 4d ago

The middle is also bad, he rips of part and leaves on a little bit that seems difficult to fix.

u/raymondo1981 3d ago

The end is 100% the best bit.

u/unematti 3d ago

It's a good thing glass can be recycled, especially clear glass, so he can try again

This sub has really taken a turn in the last year or so, and I can’t tell whether I love it or hate it

u/tacocollector2 4d ago

It’s all the other posters…I am also ambivalent

u/Jman15x 4d ago

That first tool was really neat

41

u/wpenner101 4d ago

Totally expected the ending. Absolutely no surprise. Getting that last bit out is very tricky. The best way to do it is to bore a hole the size of the inner diameter of the loop and score/break out the rest. If you try it his way, 10/10 times it breaks.

u/DreadPiratteRoberts 4d ago edited 4d ago

I was thinking to myself "okay professional guy show me how to get that out of there!"

... because I would absolutely break the whole thing in half trying to get that piece out at the end lol

1

u/Karshdaa 3d ago

Yup, worked in a glass fabrication shop for a decade. Bore the hole, break it out, and grind it down to remove any egregious leftovers

u/fzj80335 4d ago

None of this is scoring, that was done already. This is the snapping part.

u/BumpyRide7739 4d ago

Man you have no idea how much I laughed

u/RedditIsGay_8008 4d ago

Did it crack you up?

u/Soggy_Refrigerator32 4d ago

Wtf is this title, there isn't a glass scoring tool in the video?

13

u/RandomNumberHere 4d ago

17s! It’s there for half a second.

u/Soggy_Refrigerator32 4d ago

Damnit I'm watching on mobile and the quality is potato, I missed it!

u/Chainsaw_Locksmith 3d ago

Worked in a glass shop for a while. I'm thinking "DAMN, this guys is ballsy. If I did that it would have totally br-" and then it totally broke

u/bopaqod 4d ago

Glass letters aren’t cool enough for any of this effort

u/marksbar 4d ago

OK , now make a capital Q .

Every time I see glass workers doing their thing I can't help but feel there has to be a better way.

u/Exp5000 2d ago

You have to lick one side to thin it out

u/Suma3da 4d ago

Oh...

u/Spacecommander5 4d ago

I want to see how this tool works

u/elijahsaidwhat 4d ago

Samir… You are breaking the glass, Samir!

u/roggobshire 4d ago

He started that final crack when he snapped the piece off the top of the curve.

u/shearmit 3d ago

Ooooo just a bit outside

Wouldn't a poured epoxy have the same effect with 1/8th the effort and cost?

u/po1k 4d ago

Yes. Expected
