Fused Glass Pattern Bar in Green (not Irish :), Project Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- In this fused glass tutorial, we'll be making a pattern bar. I have a project in mind and for that, I need a pattern bar for the feature. In glass fusing, you're often looking for a feature central to the project, and pattern bars provide a great solution. This one will be green in theme and with a random pattern.

Thank you very much for your support Susan.

Thanks Monica.
Thanks for the interesting video. The humorous subtitles are great.
My pleasure.
Looking at the arrow at the bottom of the piece, I see the points of the arrow as feet of the person who is standing just above it. Just a thought…
Hi Susan. I see what you're meaning. It's amazing what each of us sees in things like this.
Thanks for another very instructive video. Unfortunately I don't have a saw, but the way you made the attractive bar gives me something to put in my wish list.
Hi Judith. Glad to help with that. Yes, a saw is needed. And a good one preferably 😀
Great video ❣️. Ill try to make one 👍🏼
Hi Patricia. Hope it goes well for you.
When you flipped the design , not only did you have an arrow, but you had a person riding a bike above the arrow😊
Hi Caroline. Totally agree. It's amazing what we can see in patterns.
Could you do a video about your cutting system? I use the Morton system and very curious about yours.
Hi Marianne. I'm working on a video that looks at everything I use for cutting. I'll try to get it finished and out.
What kind of grinder were you using to remove the pointy edges?
Hi Rosemary. That's a set of 2 wheel lapidary grinding wheels. Commonly used to shape cabochons from semiprecious gemstones. I purchased it second-hand. A bargain. Ask at your local lapidary club or in their forums. They often sell these. As long as it's water fed you should be good. The wheels were diamond wheels. I find them better. They give a better finish. I cut cabochons with them. I have a few videos showing this.
I have a similar saw and the blade is way too thick for glass. To date I have not been able to find a suitable thinner replacement that fits the saw and am querying what you are using. A dremel blade works well on small cuts but not on thicker projects like you are doing. Cheers
Hi Philip. The blade I'm using is a lapidary blade. Check your lapidary supplies outlets. I think it's a 7" dia 0.03 thick diamond blade used for cutting gemstones. The thin blade loses less material. Also reduces chipping a great deal. It has a 1" arbor so I had to purchase a reducing bush to bring it down to the 5/8" shaft of the saw. That's just a thin washer actually. The suppliers usually have these in a range of sizes as it's common to have to do this. Hope this helps.
@@RocketRoseArt Thanks Jeff, I'll try Gemworld at Geebung again. Cheers.
Hopefully you have gotten your new saw :)
I wish. It still seems a long way off. Life always gets in the way.
BTW, thank you very much for your support. 👍
Thanks!
Will a ring saw suffice to cut bars or should I look to our tile saw (no idea its condition)?!
Looks like a lot of fun to explore
Thank you very much for the Thanks Marilyn. Very appreciated. The only thing with my ring saw is the thickness I can cut. At the best it's about 20 mm from memory. Not much and it is a bit hard on the saw. But for thicknesses below that it should be fine. A tile saw has a lot more punch and aggressive with a good blade. May chip more but will be easier I believe.
