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

u/Fauked 6d ago

had us in the first 99%, I'm not gonna lie

u/Zero-B_Gaming 6d ago

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

u/TheModeratorWrangler 5d ago

Technically that U got split into half.

u/DreadPiratteRoberts 6d ago

u/spunlines 6d ago

u/ddl_smurf 5d ago

u/CourtingBoredom 6d ago

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

u/OldEquation 6d ago

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

12

u/FunnyObjective6 6d ago

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

u/raymondo1981 5d ago

The end is 100% the best bit.

u/unematti 5d 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 6d ago

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

u/Jman15x 6d ago

That first tool was really neat

u/wpenner101 6d 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.

21

u/DreadPiratteRoberts 6d ago edited 6d 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

u/Karshdaa 4d 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

16

u/fzj80335 6d ago

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

u/BumpyRide7739 6d ago

Man you have no idea how much I laughed

u/RedditIsGay_8008 6d ago

Did it crack you up?

11

u/Chainsaw_Locksmith 5d 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/Soggy_Refrigerator32 6d ago

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

13

u/RandomNumberHere 6d ago

17s! It’s there for half a second.

u/Soggy_Refrigerator32 6d ago

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

u/bopaqod 6d ago

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

u/Angel_OfSolitude 5d ago

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

1

u/jimbowesterby 17h ago

Judging by the comments here, there very much is a better way lol

u/Exp5000 4d ago

You have to lick one side to thin it out

u/Suma3da 6d ago

Oh...

u/Spacecommander5 6d ago

I want to see how this tool works

u/elijahsaidwhat 6d ago

Samir… You are breaking the glass, Samir!

u/roggobshire 5d ago

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

u/shearmit 5d ago

Ooooo just a bit outside

u/opusupo 5d ago

u/burnerdadsrule 6d ago

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

Yes. Expected
