Glass Cutting Class
Efficient cutting saves money on materials and makes the cutter more productive by reducing the amount of time spent grinding the glass. The glass cutting class is Joe's most popular class. In the past fifty years he has taught literally thousands of students how to cut glass using the proper hand and body positions. Students become successful glass cutters and have much less waste of glass (and much less frustration).
