I disagree about doing that dry; simply for health reasons. Glass dust when inhaled will get into your lungs and stay there FOREVER, and the lighter the strokes you're taking the finer the dust you'll make. A little bit of oil on the work, or doing it underwater (just don't let the water dry out, or you'll have dry glass dust get in the air again) makes the issue go away. Alternatively, you could wear a respirator rated for silica dust while you're in the shop. Look up silicosis - it's a rather way to go, it's basically incurable (you need a lung transplant) and it's cumulative - a little bit of exposure here, a little bit there, and eventually it all adds up.
Hole E. Cow I know the experience won't be the same for all , but for me , this grinder is a game changer!! Now , if I wasn't so irritated about my soldering skills! HA!
I still have my stones from when I first learned to do stained glass. I do have the electric grinder, but some times I really like to use the stone. Great video as always. Blessings and take care. 😊🌞
Could I get some type of diamond coated bit for my rotary tool that would sort of fall in between the carborundum and the grinding wheel in terms of usefulness? Also I immediately liked this guy (subbed and liked) because of the Arbor board hoodie
I have a question for you. The other day I was working outside on one of the paper airplanes and the wind cough the tray that I had flux in and it went all over my shirt. What would you recommend that I use to keep the flux in as I am working? Also I would like to thank you again for your help I have made about 20 small pieces and people that have seen my work like them. The only thing I have been using my hand power grinder and it is working out pretty good.
Hey Willard, I use a baby jar and transfer a small amount of flux in it for use. But I solder inside my garage so no risk of wind knocking things over. Maybe even a small cap to contain some flux is good enough too. Low profile.
Even when the glass breaks correctly and close I always use my grinder. Using the stone just seems like a waste of time. I was able to pick up a couple of used Inland grinders for about the same price, $40 each. Honestly, if that's too expensive, then the other consumables are probably going to end up being too expensive as well. 😢

Thank you. Often people do not start some hobby, because they think that they need to collect best and complete list of instrument.
Your videos are so great, you talked me into a grinder. You gave me the nudge I needed.
I just ordered one last night , and thank you for the code :)

It is nice to use only the stone and make everything with hand tools and no machine involved.
@@StainedGlassDIY True I find it very calming 😊
