    I find your videos invaluable. I’m so impressed with the confidence to cut complex shapes on three dimensional glass and use the groziers. I use the grinder nearly 90% of the time and it takes forever.

      I suspect I'll be grinding when I lead this project so maybe I'll get better at it!

    A Pane in the Glass. You will survive, as long as you have your cutter on your side! Impressive as ever. James.

      I'll have to try singing a bit of Gloria Gaynor next time I'm working ;-)

      You and me both! I expect I'll be leading it in the next couple of weeks - slightly dreading it!!

      It may take a while bit I'll do a video of me leading it. I'd like to show how little impact the wiggles have once leaded.

    Very nice video. I thought you did really well with that piece. I am always amazed at how fast you work. Thank you for showing the bigger picture with all the glass in place. I too would like to see the final panel. What kind of a person provides only one piece of glass for each piece in the panel? Is it some kind of test? I too would be very tense! Today's tools, like a ring saw, can help cut all types of shapes, even the once near impossible "keyhole", but you seem to be doing really well without any of that. Did you end up grinding anything?

    • @SophiesStainedGlass
      @SophiesStainedGlass  Рік тому

      'What kind of person?"....an 'optimist' would be the answer I guess!! No grinding so far but may be needed when I'm leading up. Yes ring saws in the right hands are impressive. I will show me leading this piece as I'd like to demonstrate how little impact the wiggles have once leaded.

    So interesting to see all the cuts and subsequent breaks. We’re they on the front side Of the glass?

  • @nathanielkern8165

    Would tapping on some of the more precarious pieces help the cuts or does the texture of the glass prevent tapping from being effective?

    • @SophiesStainedGlass
      @SophiesStainedGlass  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes tapping works on all types of glass but it's a bit brutal for some shapes - and actually, because I only had one piece of glass from which to cut each piece, I was probably being more cautious than usual.
