Whether you are a professional artist or cutting glass as a hobby, glass saws make it easier to cut fused, heavily textured or thick glass. Cutting fused stained glass or thick glass pieces is nearly impossible to do by hand but with a ring saw, band saw or wire saw, the cuts can be easily made with precision. 2, record 1, English, - glass%20saw

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The compression test finds most weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack and helps rate their stability... To start this test, use a shovel, snow saw, ski or snowboard to cut a square column with sides 30 centimetres(12 inches) wide. The column is usually about 1 metre(3 feet) tall. Place a shovel blade on top of the column. Tap with finger tips, about 10 times, moving your hand from the wrist and rate any failure as easy. Tap from the elbow, about 10 times, and rate any failure as moderate. Finally, hit the shovel blade with an open hand or fist, about 10 times, and rate any failure as hard. 3, record 6, English, - compression%20test

Les essais de compression permettent de trouver les couches fragiles et d'en évaluer le degré de résistance. Ces couches se révèlent sur les parois de la colonne de neige, délimitée au préalable. On leur accorde une note en fonction de la force requise pour entraîner leur rupture. La note très facile signifie que la rupture a eu lieu au moment de la délimitation de la colonne de neige [...] Après avoir placé une pelle sur la colonne, [on tapote] la surface du bout des doigts, par simple flexion du poignet. Toute rupture à ce niveau obtient la note facile. L'étape suivante prévoit toujours un tapotement du bout des doigts, mais cette fois, en fléchissant le coude; une rupture est alors considérée modérée. Enfin, lorsqu'il est nécessaire de frapper sur la pelle avec le poing ou la main ouverte, la rupture est difficile. 3, record 6, French, - test%20de%20compression
