into a position so that the waste stock projects over the edge 

 of the wooden surface, table or bench top, on which it is 

 placed, and so that the line cut in the glass is directly above 

 this edge. With the left hand placed flat on the surface of the 

 glass which is on the table, and with the thumb and fingers of 

 the right hand grasping the edge of the glass projecting over 

 the edge of the table, gently press downward with the right 

 hand. 



The glass should crack or make a clean break on the line 

 made with the glass cutter, thus giving one edge of the piece 

 of glass desired. 



Place one leg of carpenter's square against this edge and the 

 other in a position to secure an adjacent edge of the piece of 

 glass being prepared. Repeat the operation of cutting and 

 breaking off the waste. 



In a similar manner, secure the opposite edges. First, 

 measure carefully for the desired width or length at two 

 points near each end of an edge already formed, and mark in

 with the glass cutter. Connect these points by the edge of 

 the blade of a carpenter's square or wooden straight-edge 

 against which the glass cutter is run as before.

 the pane of glass in the frame and very gently fasten it in posi- 

 tion with three-cornered pieces of tin (glazier's points) used by 

 glaziers, which may be secured when purchasing putty. Lay 

 a triangular piece of tin flat on the glass as it rests in the frame 

 on a bench or table top. With a finger or thumb, press one 

 corner of this tin into the frame near a corner of the pane of 

 glass. With the end of the putty -knife blade resting
