"Hi. We're talking on copper foiling today and we're touching on our glass cutters. As you might already know, and if you don't, there are a few that you can choose from. So, basically, when you're choosing your cutter, it's going to be something that you feel more comfortable holding in your hand. This is a Toyo pencil Grip. This is my favorite, and my preference. It's adjustable to fit your hand. You notice here, at the end, you can remove this little knob that actually goes into your oil reservoir, which is where you place your oil when you're filling up your cutter, as such. But it has little removable parts right here, that you can adjust to fit your hand. This can be turned around and it'll fit a longer hand, such as mine. Or, you can make it even longer by placing that part over there. So, this is how I like to do mine. And that actually allows me to hold this where it's in the crevice of my thumb and my forefinger. You would hold your finger right up along side the swivel edge, which your cutter is. And as you go to cut your glass, remember always start at the end of your glass. Like here, you would not start right here. You would start at the edge and you apply some pressure. You can use another finger to guide you if you need to. You can just go ahead and cut and run this all the way out to the end. So there you have a nice cut. You can see your glass cutter oil on your glass. It helps that you don't have those shards flying up and it helps to preserve the life of your cutter, so this is the cutter that I recommend."
