» »We cut ordinary glass with ordinary scissors
Somehow I watched a video on the Internet where they cut ordinary glass with ordinary scissors under water. And under the video gathered more than a dozen comments. Some said it works, others said like all nonsense.

Naturally, in the spirit of legend destroyers, I decided to try, and actually there was a small need - to make a hole in the window for a small fan. (You know, a couple of computers in one room make themselves felt ....)

First of all, I removed the window from the hinges.


Gently tore off the slats on the sides and put out the glass.


He filled a small container with water and lowered the glass there. Then he took the scissors and tried to cut a piece for verification. I will not say that everything went like clockwork - there are difficulties. In general, it turned out.


Continuing work.


In fact, the scissors do not cut the glass, and piece by piece they break it off, so even sides are simply impossible to obtain.


Then it is necessary, also under water, to walk along the cut edges with sandpaper to remove nicks and chips.

After all, I inserted the glass into the frame and installed a fan.


When working with glass, be especially careful and careful. For example, for these simple operations I cut myself twice, well, that’s not deep.

Good luck

    before my eyes, a not-so-expensive glass-cutter cut out a pattern from glass like a pencil on paper, and not a drop of blood was spilled. And this method in my opinion can be used for tricks

    In my opinion, it is necessary to experiment with unnecessary pieces of glass, and to use a normal tool.

    Cut curly grooves or curved lines in the glass with a diamond string. They are now sold in hardware stores. Insert into a hacksaw and, as you mark it, cut it out with a jigsaw. But! Before work, you need to drill the string with fine sandpaper - "open the diamond grain." TK they are made by galvanic without this opening the string will just slide. As you see the small black dots on the string - you're done
