Resolution #67: Create Something By Cutting Glass...

Date: 3-8-2014

Due Date: 3-8-2015

Resolution: When I was a kid I found a glass cutter in my dad's toolbox. I was fascinated because I didn't know what it was, and thought it looked pretty cool. Later… I saw a cartoon where a cat burglar used one of these mystery tools to cut a perfect hole in a window to break into a house.

This new piece of information made this tool even more enigmatic. I knew what it was but couldn't imagine how it worked. I was too young to get the concept of scoring glass to create a smooth breaking point and thought for sure this tool had to cut all the way through the glass.

Even though I eventually figured out concepts, I never thought to give it a try. To resolve this, within a year I'm going to finally revisit my childhood fascination and create something by cutting glass.

 

Result #67: I've Successfully Raised To The Rank Of A Glass Cutter!!!

 

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 3-8-2015

When I set this resolution, all that I knew was that I wanted to cut glass. I had no idea what glass I was going to cut, or why I was going to cut it but I thought I'd figure something out.

Maybe something artistic? Maybe a cut for the sake of cutting? I didn't care I knew I had a year to figure it out.

About two weeks ago I noticed this resolution was coming up.

Luckily I had a glass picture frame that was broken during my move.

Luckily… I had already bought this glass cutter.

I went to Home Depot and bought this piece of glass.

And now I have a fixed picture frame, two extra pieces of glass and a successful resolution.
