So amazing cute fish! And it's quite clear explained how this project was made... idea to make a construction of simple elements gives the opportunity to create millions of interesting space shapes!
Hi, thank you for this video I like your fish. How did you drill that hole in the fish? I have something I want to hang up but I wasn't aware of the possibility to drill holes in a finished product, that is just amazing.
I'm sure there are plenty of UA-cams on glass drilling ... Here's one of mine that includes it: ua-cam.com/video/Tg9Q38_Ag1w/v-deo.html See the complete catalog of tutorials at www.glasshoppa.com
We sometimes have very strong winds and I have lost many windchimes over the years. Have you had problems with your glass fish breaking when it hits the copper tubing?
Want to add nichrome wire by the nose so I do not have to drill. Will I need a firing schedule adjustment de to the nichrome wire? Also while I have your attention. Thinking of subscribing to you on Patreon. if I decide to cancel at a later date, is it hard to do? Thanks
No, I wouldn't think so. You should be fine as long as the wire isn't too fat. 16g or smaller. Probably the easiest way to cancel is to message me or email me and tell me you want out. Then I can send you simple step-by-step to save your from searching on your own. Hope you will join us!
I use common kiln wash, also called shelf primer. It's only good for slumping temperatures, say up to 1250F or so. www.delphiglass.com/fusing-supplies/fiber-paper-shelf-wash/bullseye-shelf-primer-5-lb?source=froogle&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwe_f3-Os4QIVpBx9Ch3q9wj5EAYYASABEgJ2g_D_BwE see the full catalog of Glasshoppa videos here: www.glasshoppa.com
I was able to cut the first half of the fish with no problems. On the second cut part of the tail broke off. Can I glue add a little clear powder and just add the turquoise on top and fire? Thanks
Yes - you don't need to add clear powder - just put the aqua section on top and it should fire fine. See my complete catalog of tutorials at www.glasshoppa.com
Thank you! YES, no problem. Read this: www.glasshoppa.com/FiringArticle.html and if your kiln has no controller, this: www.glasshoppa.com/NOController.html
Hi Maya, Usually I use Sharpie markers ... It burns off in the kiln, but it is better practice to clean it off before firing ... Just in case. www.amazon.com/Sharpie-37001-Permanent-Markers-Ultra/dp/B00006IFI3/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=sharpie+markers&qid=1599862698&sr=8-10 See the complete catalog of tutorials at www.glasshoppa.com
Get an inexpensive propane torch and solder the copper pipe. It's strong and permanent. Soldering isn't rocket science........... (Also copper will get a dull patina over time. If you like the bright copper color, use a metal polish to get a bright golden finish. Spraying with an automotive clear coat will preserve the finish for many years.)
Enjoyed the video very much. Expanding my knowledge of fused glass possibilities
"Ever wondered what the grooves on your pliers were for? " lol love it,you learn something new everyday
I just love all of Jim's tutorials! I'm new to glass fusing and I have learned so much. Thanks, Jim!
I like the project, Love the fish, it has an industrial look, perfect for outdoor glass garden. Very nice to see a video with good instruction. Thanks
Love gardens and glass Thank you for great ideas

Well it certainly could do that ... I would take precautions to prevent it.

Beautiful work. Did you do a tack fuse on the fish? Thanks

I have a Ceramic Kiln, I use for clay. Can I fire glass in it? Your work is outstanding. Blessings.
Thank you! YES, no problem. Read this: www.glasshoppa.com/FiringArticle.html and if your kiln has no controller, this: www.glasshoppa.com/NOController.html
Thank you

Hi there. What kind of paper you use for this work?
It's called Papyros. techniglass.com/papyros/
