Learn How to Cut Stained Glass With a Pistol Grip Glass Cutter
When you first consider learning about how to do stained glass you might think that it is something that only artistic people or those who have had years of practice can do. But all you need is a stained glass cutter and a little practice and you'll be surprised how easy it really is. There are many stained glass cutters of different types and shapes and all work well. However, there is one type that many people who work with stained glass prefer and it is called a pistol grip glass cutter.
A pistol grip glass cutter seems to give the most control when you are cutting the curves and patterns needed for most stained glass projects. But no matter what type you use, here are a few tips to get you started cutting glass quickly and easily.
You can cut glass either way: Either by pulling the cutter toward you or by pushing it away. The cutter doesn't care, and you should start by using the method that comes easiest to you. As you become more skillful you'll be able to either pull or push the cutter depending on which will make it easier to do the cut.
Do your first cuts from a standing position: When you are learning, it will probably be easier for you get the feel of glass cutting when doing it while standing. And once you get the feel of how things work, you can decided whether to sit or stand depending on what you find is the most comfortable and effective for you.
Hold the glass cutter with the wheel straight up and down: It's important to remember and follow this rule. Be sure that you keep the little cutting wheel straight up and down and follow along your marked line while keeping up an even pressure all the way.
Find a way to hold the cutter comfortably: There is no hard or fast rule about how you should hold a stained glass cutter. And that is why many prefer a pistol grip glass cutter since it is made to fit in your hand comfortably.
Learn the sound that glass makes by doing straight practice cuts on window glass: This is a good way to practice. As you make your cut you'll hear the cutter make a 'sizzling' or crisp 'crunching/crackling' sound that indicates it is making the score. You don't have to press real hard, just firmly. And of course the glass cutter doesn't 'cut' all the way through the glass, it just makes a 'score line' on the glass that allows it to break along this line cleanly after you finish using the stained glass cutter.
Run off the edge if possible when you finish your cut: This is the side where you will break the glass from since you know the score line has gone all the way to the edge.
Safety first: Always use eye protection when you are cutting glass and wear gloves and other necessary safety equipment as needed. Getting a sliver or a small piece of glass in your eye is very dangerous and you don't want to risk the loss of your vision.
If you start out on your hobby by getting one of the many stained glass kits that comes with a cutter you may want to consider a kit that includes a pistol grip glass cutter. If you decide to get the tools you need individually then you have the perfect opportunity to try this type of cutter.
And no matter which type of cutter you use you will find that cutting stained glass is an easy skill to learn. Do a little experimenting on inexpensive clear window glass first to get the feel of things, and you'll be making Tiffany style stained glass lamps in no time.

What tools/house hold items can you use to cut normal glass easily???
I have a couple window sheets i want to shape myself at home but, i can't afford to go out and buy proffesional tools to cut glass. If someone could give any suggestions on what kind of items cut glass. Prefibly with ease but, if not than thats ok! Thank You!
Very difficult to cut glass without the proper tool, but these small hand cutters cost very little to buy. better to spend a couple of pounds on a cutter than break the glass and have to buy more.
