What are the best tips I got, from everybody that does demos and stain glass was from you when you suggested the use of vellum paper. It is versatile and it definitely holds up, thank you so much and thank you for what you do for all of us out here someone else I watch on RUclips is Barbara and Ed of ARTRV.
Thank you so much for all of my subscribers, new and old. As much as these are excruciating for me to watch, (isnt it always painful to see yourself and listen to your own voice) I know there's a lot of good info. Keep up the good work
Im so glad you have them helpful. We never get a customer into our retail store end of the studio that doesnt have technique questions. We're happy we can affect a wider audience.
Thank you for the tip about starting the score on the pattern corner as opposed to the edge of the glass. I was off most of the time trying to eyeball my score from the edge.
Thank you for these excellent videos, I'm revising stained glass after a long break from the hobby and learning again with my girlfriend together. Great video production, clear instructions and useful tips!
Thank you, Im glad you can find some helpful info. We will continue with these as time....and the virus allows.....thanks again for the encouraging words!
great. on the last piece you cut. rather than using 2 pliers at the thin end, might using running pliers at the other end which was wide end have worked? thanks
After grinding, you can place your pieces in a container with warm water. the vellum will float off. We keep our pattern pieces until we’re done with a project. In order to do this take the wet pieces and put them in between paper towels. They dry very fast. If you have several shapes that look alike , number them on the back with a grease pencil. this will hold up in the water.
On really thin points, I tend to lose the point, even with a good score. I’ve taken to veering away from the pattern as I get close to a thin point, like a really acute triangle. Then grind it down to the thin point. Any tips for keeping thin points on cuts?
Hi Dawn, Thank you for your inquiry. Sounds like you have covered many of the tricks i would advise. The only thing i would add is make sure that the glass on the opposite side of the thin point is no more/less than ~3/8" (The glass that you are removing to accomplish your thin point should not be thicker than the piece that you are trying to save)makes for ease in removal without competing with the girth of the thin point. Keep going.....practice solves so much in glass!

hello :) how do you get the velum off after grinding?
After grinding, you can place your pieces in a container with warm water. the vellum will float off. We keep our pattern pieces until we’re done with a project. In order to do this take the wet pieces and put them in between paper towels. They dry very fast.

Where did you get the green tool you were using as well as the oilers?
So i believe the green tool is a fletcher running plier. The oil cutter is a toyo 600 tapping series cutter.
What the name of that tool you cutting with
That is a toyo 600 series tapping head (carbide) pistol grip
whatever!!! greetings from Mexico
