  • I recently got my hands on a rotary tool, so I decided to try some glass engraving. It turned out to be easier than I expected and I’m very happy with the results. In this video I go over the materials you need and tips and tricks for getting the best results.
    What you’ll need:
    - Rotary tool (like a Dremel)
    - Diamond coated bits (at least a ball-shaped one)
    - Poster tacks
    - Printout of the design
    - Tape
    - Wet cloth and a bowl of water
    - Towel
    - Dust mask
    - Safety glasses
    If you make one of your own, I'd love to see it! Send me a picture on Instagram :)
    Ways to support me:

    - Buy ISOtunes hearing protection via this link: ISOtunesAudio....

    Your bits would last a lot longer if you lubricate them. You can use either a water drip system (ONLY IF YOU'RE USING A FLEX SHAFT) or glass cutting oil.
    It'll also cut down a lot on glass dust. You should still wear a mask and glasses, but it'll cut down on the amount of glass dust in your workspace.

    Hey Ellen, good job. One tip if you don't mind. When you put the paper inside the glass, put black cloths inside for 2 reasons. Less vibrations on the glass and that the paper remains flat to the inner surface. Where it comes to neck bottles, attach the paper to the glass and use a pointed bit to trace over the paper.

    Nice video, love the T-shirt (Laura is awesome!) But just a small piece of advice: you want to hang the dremel, preferably above table level so that the FlexiShaft doesn't break or cause damage to the Dremel itself.

    • @CraftsWithEllen
      @CraftsWithEllen  6 лет назад +5

      +Ralph Nabhan Thanks Ralph. I did consider hanging the dremel, mostly to give me more freedom in movement, but couldn't find a good way to do it. Didn't know it also affected the dremel itself. I'll make sure to hang it next time :)

  • @diydarkmatter
    @diydarkmatter 5 лет назад +33

    your a pretty good artist i can see you have a knack for it . tip i do alot of wood carving with a power rotary carver its like a dremel in every way just bigger . when you did the tree at the end if you got some spray adhesive you could glue the picture on there with spray adhesive then scrap off the left over paper or even just wash it off . and you would not have to free hand anything . i do that sometimes or use carbon paper again i work with wood not glass . i have seen a couple home made set ups using a 2 liter bottle plastic of course with a hole in it as well with water the water comes out the hole and pores onto the glass to keep the dust down you dont want glass dust in your eyes or lungs young lady . and i would use goggles over them safty glasses dust will find any open area it can and get in your eyes . just tips you dont have to use them if you dont want to good luck with your projects dear .

      glad you like the tip i do Engrave Glass of all sorts of things i have had a few thinks break on me because the vibration of the engraver can Oscillate the glass to a point that it can shatter so for a long time i have used a rolled up Cloth and put it inside the Glass the cloth needs to be a little tight so it covers most of the Glass to stop it falling out and to touch most of the inside the glass if the glass you are working on is flat a peace of felt under it damp down any Oscillation hope that helps i like the work you do BUT it only take 1 glass to Shatter you do a lot of damage to your hand or face

      Yeah, the micro would work great for this I think. I've never used it, but it should be much easier to handle than the bigger Dremels. My flexible extension gets the job done, but being cordless like with the micro would be awesome. Thanks for sharing :)

    @AppelmoesArtandPhotography 4 года назад

    Leuk! Dat ga ik proberen. Ik heb geen dremel, maar wel zo’n zelfde geval van Parkside. Kan het allicht proberen. Misschien is het handig om het glas op zo’n roterende plaat te leggen. “Lazy Suzan”?! Dan draai je je project ipv opnieuw de plakgummetjes te positioneren.
