Was going through an old tool box that I bought years ago and I found this tool and I have no idea what it’s for. Looks like it says “Fletcher” on the side.
I've broken many pieces of glass with one of those, some successfully...Was going through an old tool box that I bought years ago and I found this tool and I have no idea what it’s for. Looks like it says “Fletcher” on the side.

I always wanted to do stained glass. I can solder better than I can cut glass. LOLIt took me all semester of my stained glass art class, to remember to cut the inside curves first, went through too much glass. My teacher used to repair Tiffany stained glass pieces.
Busting the pane is part of the processNot for use on tempered glass lol..... probably why you dont see those so much anymore... One reason anyway.
Seemed to me the cutter worked pretty darn well if you are working on a decent workbench. See the little notches are different widths for different glass thicknesses?? When I tried using those, i'd bust the pane every time.
Yeah I’m 29, I’ve done a few single pane window repairs but always just got precut panesWow , u mus be young , its a glass cutter !!
unbelieveable !!
Yep, and a box of the little push in spikes that held the glass in place while you puttied the perimeter of the window back. You also had to know how to get the sides of the window frame off to put a new rope on the weights that held the window open, after the old rope rotted in two and the weight fell into the bottom of the window frame...lol. Ah, the good ol days.Way back when, many a homeowner had one of those tools.
Dont forget that putty knife with V type blade for the glazing compound LOL. Come to think of it, I have one somewhereYep, and a box of the little push in spikes that held the glass in place while you puttied the perimeter of the window back.
