Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I was disappointed when he used acrylic and adhesive instead of solder, but I wouldn't ever stop someone from doing it. I'm all in on using a waterjet for cutting though
First off I gotta say it's feeling like 100% an ad for wazer....
Onto the real "review".
I think this fits in the boat with all the other "Modern" methods of making art things.
All the resin, plastics and adhesives used is starting to follow the way everything is mass produced. It's made to look good, do it's job for a few years then get tossed when it's not repairable or has lost it's "like new" look from aging.
It's slightly disappointing to see a whole project waterjet as that's a huge part of the craft, Picking the right spot and getting that part cut accurately/correctly. Is it the future? Sure, they have been doing it for years already for mass produced glass items, it's not new, only to the home DIY'er it's new. It's also good for stuff you can't cut at all like the fingers on the hands in the video or some of the shirt lines. Though a ring/band saw can do most of the same stuff. This doesn't mean it's a good idea though, Sharp inside thin points like that love to crack.
I will say that this is 100% better than anything made of just plastic or just paint on plastic. (Looking at you window sticker things....)
I'm interested to see what others think about this. Is this the future of glass work or just some "Hype" point that is going to fade off in a couple months.
I donβt like it, but I also donβt like ring saws.
For me the attraction to glass is working with a simple cutting tool and making the cut by hand as accurately as possible. I try with every project to use my grinder as little as possible and just make the cut by hand. For me itβs not what you can make from glass, itβs what can I make with my own hands and some simple old fashion hand tools.
For me using a saws feels a bit like cheating, using a water cutter and acrylic it feels like cheating x 100
Also I donβt see the reason why you should water cut a lot of these cuts, most of the cuts are really simple cuts that you can cut easily and faster by hand
It is the way of the future I love it and wish I had 3 hundred thousand to buy one.
