When cutting a few millimetres from a piece of glass, instead of scoring the line and nibbling with your grozing pliers, an alternative method is illustrated below: -
After scoring, place a solid wooden straight-edge on the overhanging sliver.
Apply a sharp blow with the lower hand while applying firm pressure with your upper hand.
With practise you should be able to remove a 2mm unbroken sliver from a full sheet of glass using this method.

Hi,
a good tip I'm sure but shouldn't that young lady be wearing gloves? If she had ever seen serious glass cuts I'm sure she would always wear them!
