HOW TO CUT GLASS WITHOUT A DIAMOND CUTTER:
Method 1: Dip a piece of common string in alcohol or kerosene
and squeeze dry or as dry as it will get without dripping. This
string should then be placed on the already marked glass and
tied tight. Light the string and let it burn off. Immediately,
while the glass is still hot, plunge it into cold water. Be
sure the container of water is large enough to let the glass go
completely under as well as your arm up to the elbow, so as to
deaden the vibration when you strike the glass. Strike the
glass with your other hand outside the line of cutting using a
stick of wood and hitting a sharp stroke. This quick, sharp
stroke will break the glass where it has been weakened by the
burning string into a clean cut as if done by a regular glass
cutter.This method may be used to cut bottles in any shape and
to make vases and to perform many such cuttings on glass.
Method 2: Here is a method that rarely fails to break the glass
clean in the place you want it broke. First, scratch the glass
with the corner of a file or sharp graver. Have a piece of wire
bent to the desired shape you want to cut the glass. Heat the
wire redhot and lay it upon the scratch. Sink the glass into
cold water just deep enough to come on a level with the wire,
not quite covering it. The glass will break clean.
HOW TO CUT GLASS WITH SCISSORS: To do this you must place the
glass under water completely, then with a pair of ordinary
scissors, proceed to cut the glass as you would paper or cloth.
This method is, of course, not as smooth as job as the methods
described above. The edges will not be as smooth, but for
getting a piece of glass down to size and where the edges are
not needed to be smooth, this method will be satisfactory.
HOW TO DRILL GLASS: Get a piece of steel wire and file to shape
of a drill. This must be tempered as follows: Heat the end of
the drill on a flame until it is dull red, then place it in
metallic mercury. This drill, tempered in this manner will bore
through glass as easily as through soft metal. When using in
glass, always use oil of turpentine with a little camphor added
to lubricate the drill. As you drill, be careful not to drill
clear through from one side as you will break the glass this
way. Drill partly, or almost through, then start from the
opposite side and finish the hole. Or, if you cannot do this,
as when you are drilling bottles, etc., fill this bottle with
water or place the glass in water. CAUTION: When you make the
drill, do not make the cutting edges so sharp or too acute. The
drill will cut slowly but you will have better holes with less
breakage.
BONUS: Rainbow colors for bottles, vases, etc: Use floating art
colors obtainable from most paint stores. Take a pail and fill
it with water and drop a few drops of several different art
colors on top of water. Now, take any article you wish colored
and dip down through the colors, slowly back and forth. You now
have a rainbow colored article. You can color bottles, vases,
and many articles this way.
