So, i tried my hand at cutting a mirror today, Used a sharp ass knife, scored the shit out of the mirror from the back side. then broke it over a small piece of wood. No shattering or webs, had two small shards break off and my line wasnt straight. I think if i used a straight edge it might turn out better.

Why not just buy the mirror cutting scribe? They sell them at home depot/menards for like $1.95. Instead of a knife that is?

You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

Didn't turn out too bad, but those cheap ass mirror cutters and a straight edge make it almost fool proof
