@@everything-stained-glass Yes, I'm dying to have a go myself. Now all I need is the circle cutter. Can't believe that since dabbling in glass since 1997, I let that tool get by me.
It's just practise Jenny, I'm sure you'd be able to do it if you tried. Use float glass to start with, to get the hang of it without stress of breaking expensive glass.
Greetings from Melbourne Australia! Thank you for sharing this and all your tips. I am learning to work fused and slumped glass rather than stained glass.. Your tutorials on cutting are especially helpful to me.
So nicely done. I have long wondered whether to get a circle cutter, and you made it look so easy. Clear instructions. Great video.Just off to find where I can get one! Thanks
Hi hashing baby thanks so much for your nice comments. Don't know where you're based, but if in US you can buy one at Delphi Glass - the one I use is a Silberschnitt Pro Circle Cutter. Good luck!
actually, I once made a few circular cuts on a 2mm glass and I did the same straight cuts to release the excess parts; once I used the running pliers I broke the piece in two so, after that I made my straight cuts more tangent to the circle.
I recently bought a circle cutter, but it's not as nice as the one in the video, and (I haven't tried it yet, but I think) it involves inserting the end of a separate wheel cutter into a spot in the contraption. I am hoping it has a similar result, but if not I will certainly look for the one you used here. Again, your videos are immensely helpful. :)
Yes, this glass circle cutter is top class. Hopefully your one will work and you don't have to buy another though. Thanks for the nice comment about my videos.
Suction pads are best for holes ADeevision. You can do it with a circle cutter by crisscrossing the circle with the cutter and gently tapping to remove the centre of the circle. I hope that helps.
You are a brilliant teacher, i am learning a great deal from. I was wondering what sort of table or surface do i need for the stained glass soldering? is their any sheet i can buy to cover an ordinary table or do i need a wooden/table?
+Saima Rasheed you can use pressed fibre board to solder on - in the US it's called Homasote board. Good as you can press pins in to hold your piece in place. Or anything that will resist heat.
Thank you. Iv just taken this up I'm in Ireland, it's hard to find glass, what kind were you using in demo, I'd like to get some coloured glass thank you
Hello Ann, great to hear you've got the stained glass bug! This is handblown Polish Tatra glass. Dublin Art Glass sells a good range of glass, you can check them out here: dublinartglass.ie/Products.html (no affiliate). Not sure if they do mail order if you're miles away. Good luck!
I've put a new one on my site here with all my other videos Joyce - "Making The Most of the Grain Of Your Glass": everythingstainedglass.com/stained-glass-videos . It's best to paint after it's cut, otherwise you might break it while cutting and all your painting work is wasted.
@@everything-stained-glass thank you you are so much the best ♥️♥️♥️ also do you have a recommendation where I could buy stained glass at a reasonable price I haven’t done any yet as I only want to use it in mosaics not using the the wires as you do i apologies if it’s rude asking. Joyce
When you make the last 4 cuts, do the cuts stop short of the circle or do they touch the circle where it is scored? I have a lot of circles being cut in half at the end!
Hi Kathy, no, you can be a couple of millimetres short, it will break to the circle scoreline. If you go over even by 1mm it will run beyond. Good luck!
Is there a way to cut a circle out of the middle of a piece of glass. For example, I want to put headlights in a van so need to cut holes in the glass to put the beads in.??
Really love this video; no long round-about chatting or unnecessary stuff. Very good.
Oh thanks Lascelles - I'm the same, want people to get on with it!!! :-)
Thank you! Love not only your great instruction, but also that fantastic, blue jacket! You're a kindred artist!
Ha! Glad you like the jacket - got it in Bilbao, it called to me :-) Thanks for your kind comments.

taking my lap top to my craft room, play and pause your video until I get this circle cut!
Ha! Did you get it done Terri? I hope the video helped :-)
This was really helpful - thanks Millie!
That's great to know, thanks Hezzermarie :-)
Excellent, this was clear and simple easy to remember, thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Bonnie (better late than never :-) )
you made that look so easy
thank you

Thank you for starting my day: today’s my first spin with the circle cutter, and this is perfect.
Ha, funny! I hope you find it helpful. It's very satisfying getting a circle cut this way.
Thank you so much. Wisely and nicely done

Yes, I'd recommend them for circles Joyce, they're very quick once you get going.
Nice! Thank you.

Hi Is it possible to use something like this to make a hole ?
Suction pads are best for holes ADeevision. You can do it with a circle cutter by crisscrossing the circle with the cutter and gently tapping to remove the centre of the circle. I hope that helps.

I haven’t seen any new videos for a while. Are you still doing them. I was wondering if you can paint the glass after cutting or before

This can be done Donna. You can drill holes in glass. Here's a video to help you: ruclips.net/video/q5B8-L4FJBU/видео.html
@@everything-stained-glass Thank you! My husband has ordered the bits. Now it's just practice, practice, practice. :-)
Excellent video. I found it to be very helpful. Thanks!
