[ATM] Cutting Glass

[Russell Jocoy]

Hello, and Happy New Year!!!! Yeah, right...I am a glass cutter.  I cut squares, I cut octagon's,
I cut circles, I bevel glass, I ground glass, I try to make disk's that look like all you have to do is make a dish, get it right, polish, and figure... I try to get the circle "right".
      This is all up to the artist grinding the disk... Knowledge is the best root of your pursuit...
  This list can guide Homer Simson into the realm of Photonic bliss....
     I am bummed today, As I was cutting a 3/4" slab (about 48"x30")...and all area's were mapped out for the cut..I brought my water fed skillsaw to the edge to cut a 30" division..and not even knowing until I had gone 15 inches into the cut was a "CRACK"......Damn...why am I doing this!!!
   You know sometimes things go wrong, even though you have made every check to make it go right....Mother nature or physic's say's "HELLO"  and you look and see (if you are that lucky) ...sometimes it can be physically BAD...... AND there is a mistake that can't be reversed...
     Such was my day... I have been here before... I Fear not of the glass surface or it's edges..
                                         Russ Jocoy
