Thank you so much for this very informative video. Also, Thank you for letting us know about the vellum paper it works extremely well. Please continue these videos, I know at times it can be overwhelming but very helpful to your audience. You are truly one of the best in this craft.
Im glad it was clear and easy enough to follow even without the benefit of fluent english! Although i must say most people that claim not to speak english well are being modest and speak it beautifully! Keep on keeping on
Brilliant!! Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to cut these long elaborate trunks for a bonsai tree and you just showed me how to do it! I was placing my pattern against the edge of the glass! I kept breaking it! Love you! And your safety glasses!
The paper we use is called vellum. It is a “high rag” paper which just means it will stand up to the grinder water and not disintegrate. It is available at most art supply stores. We use 20 weight.
I like how you corrected the false idea that the glass will cure itself, but then you immediately promoted the false idea that glass is a slow moving liquid. Glass is NOT a slow moving liquid.
My understanding of physics is that glass is formed by the solidification of liquid without crystallization. Meaning that there is no crystalline lattice, thus qualifying it as a "highly cooled liquid". If i said "slow moving liquid" I am wrong and apologize for that mis-categorization. However, if you have ever takin apart a window from the 1600s, you can find that the glass can and often is a bit thicker on the bottom than on the top. This is not a dramatic observation but definitely measurable. Thank you for your feedback and for pointing out my faux pas

Thank you for teaching how to do circles. It was wonderfully helpful. Thank you!
Im so glad it was helpful Dorothy. I spent years trying to do it like they do in all the bank robbery movies.....ahhhhh to no avail 😊
All of these introductory to stained glass videos are well done. The info is presented clearly and demonstrated well.
I like the clear explanations. Even English is not my daily language I understand everything. Thank you.
Thank you for the video. You are an excellent instructor.
I just ordered some vellum, thanks for the tip, I have been using typing paper which disintegrates when wet in the grinding process

Great video series. I learned a lot.

Lol
Yup those safety glasses are a “thing”. My videographer kept reminding me...... safety, safety, safety!
Glad it helped
How do you spell fallum, the material you use for patterns? Is it hard to find? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 😊

@@shardsglassstudio9298 Thank you so much!
What type of oil do you recommend that I can use for cutting?
We use a very light viscosity oil that is water soluble. It’s just called cutting oil and it is put out by edhoys international
@@shardsglassstudio9298 I'm using gun oil and just wanted to make sure it is okay to use.
Things I never saw before

“That’s nonsense, it doesn’t. Maybe over the course of… one hundred years” 😁
"glass is a highly cooled liquid, not a solid." omg, what?? That's just blown my mind!
Bahahahahaha...Poof
