Cheers to you also! I must admit, I was holding my breath thru several parts of this video. I love the saw method so much better than the grinder. Your final fused concentric piece is really inspiring! Thanks for this tutorial 😊
Thanks Caroline! I've been trying to figure out a way to make a chain out of the glass rings. More to come!
Enjoyed your video, I'm now a fused glass person but I also do lapindary work so this is so great! I think you should also include somewhere how circular saws cut more on the bottom side than the top so newbies aren't suprised by this.
work so this
Thanks for watching! That is a great point. I was having a problem in my cuts, not knowing exactly when to stop without cutting into the ring. I've come up with a solution to that which I'll be showing in my next video. I take a 3mm diamond burr and make paired holes opposite each other just shy of the the edge of the inside of the ring. I then saw across the center joining the holes. The center pieces just fall out now, and I don't have to worry about accidentally cutting into the ring.
This whole process is kind of like blasting a tunnel in a mine, which is actually how I came up with this idea. You need to have somewhere for the tightly packed glass to go. The kerf of the saw provides that space. Cheers! from a Stained Glass Rockhound.
Very, very useful. I LOVE the use of "what ever is handy" as a running tool! 😂
Thanks for watching Bob. My next video is all about "scraps". Cheers!
@@stainedglasscuts2360 Scraps are currently on my "How the heck do I manage these?" list. Do I invest the effort in categorizing and identifying the scraps based on their original purchase (e.g. color code, striker, reactive, etc.) or just have a scrap pile of random COE 90 (or separately, COE 96, since I seem to be incapable of sticking with just one brand)? I look forward to your thoughts and experiences. :)
Watching the saw cuts was painful. I thought the glass was going to break for sure. You pulled it off beautifully.
Judy- Thanks for watching! So far I've had pieces fall out from the middle while I've been sawing but haven't broken through a ring yet while sawing.😬 -Cheers!
Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the demonstration.
Annette - Thanks for watching. Who knew I would end up merging my lapidary rock saw into my stained glass projects. Cheers!
I really enjoy your presentation style and you have a very soothing voice
Nina- Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
You make it look very easy!
Jacqueline- Thanks! It's only through serendipity that I came up with this process. A lapidary saw in a stained glass shop? Go figure. Thanks for watching! Cheers!!
Really cool!
Thanks! And thanks for watching! Cheers!
Eres muy honesto con tu trabajo , es un placer poder ver cómo ejecutar tus ideas . Gracias
Alejandro - Gracias por mirar. Disfruto descubriendo y copartiendo lo que creo saber. :) - Salud!
Maravilloso!
You are an absolute master
Mark- Thanks for watching! I'm having fun sharing with you all. Cheers!
Nice video! Thanks! I guess you could use a ring saw with a separating blade for the inner circle, but that would take much longer than the lapidary blade.
Richard - Thanks for watching! I had thought about a ring saw. Didn't know you could get one with a separating blade. I would have tried it for sure. I agree, probably would have taken longer.
What’s in the cocktail glass at the end of the video?🤣
I toast you all and treat myself. This video was definitely worth a Blantons. - Cheers!
"Intriguing".... Indeed..!
Me : I gotta try this...
Wife : No way you're buying a lapidary saw ! 😢
I feel your pain!😫 I'd love a bigger kiln. 😊 Cheers!
There’s another easier way....take a diamond head drill bit. Say 5mm diameter, sometimes used for drilling a hole in a ceramic tile. Drill 4 holes on the inner ring, being careful that the hole doesn’t overlap the scored line. Then score a cross between the holes so you have 4 quarters & carefully break. Good luck!!
Thanks for watching Keith! I like your idea. I've found that on larger circles, with my method, the glass sometimes didn't necessarily release the inner arc. So now, great minds think alike, I've been taking my 3mm diamond bur and drilling holes along the arc, usually 6 or 8 depending upon the size of ring I want. I drill them right next to the arc. Then I saw across joining them. The pieces just drop out. I'm going to try your method, scoring rather than sawing. I won't get as wet, for sure. 😊 Cheers!
Keith - I have a question. I tried your technique. It works and I stayed nice and dry. I did have a bit of trouble getting the glass to release. I ended up hitting the middle repeatedly with the ball on my glass cutter until I was able to shatter out one piece. After that everything came out easily. Was this the proper approach? Thanks!
cool
Mickey - Thanks for watching! Cheers!
