HOW TO CUT SHAPES in Stained Glass

[@mistyhefner3790]

Thank you, I love the comment, "cheating and grinding doesn't teach you how to cut glass". That's why I'm here. I hate grinding and I need to up my game and learn these techniques. Thank you for your video!

[@sj4851]

Hi from UK. Fabulous video, really important to know what tools to get and the tools that have been used for decades and what they are for

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks!

[@DocRocket144]

WOW! Masterful! I'm always frustrated with cutting and waste a lot of my time grinding. Sure would love to cut like that! I notice you're not dipping your cutter in oil is it in a reservoir in the cutter? Also I never hear that "scratching" sound when I cut. Too much oil? Dull cutter blade?

[@ARTyRV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darbybowen7997]

I just found your videos and they are so helpful! My granddad used to do stained glass, but passed before he could teach me. These videos make me excited to start using his tools and making my own!!

[@ARTyRV]

So glad you found us. Welcome to the ARTyRV Glass Community! If you want you can join us for the next live stream on Monday at 7pm to learn more.

I am a glass fuser who has found that stained glass artists are the best for teaching glass cutting. I am in awe. The steadiness in pressure is where I struggle. Any tips for that?

[@ARTyRV]

Great question! What type of cutter do you use?

[@patriciahuyck8824]

I just love watching you cut glass. I bought a new pencil cutter and having a hard time getting use to it.

[@ARTyRV]

Practice, practice. Eventually it will feel natural.

[@anitafaulkner6312]

Thank you so much! You are a terrific teacher but most of all a wonderful glass artist!

[@ARTyRV]

Many Thanks!

[@maggiebannenberkowitz9254]

[@ARTyRV]

New question, where to order glass?

[@j45002]

Amazing work with the grozers. I think I learned something. I wouldve thought I would have to section those cuts out into multiple and use the running pliers

[@jeanburgin160]

Love watching ... love your tips and methods.

[@kevinweidner9981]

[@Elias.0397]

Hi how are u please , i love ur work, I want to start studying this type of art. I want to know how thick the glass is?

[@ARTyRV]

1/8 inch

[@jacquibell4408]

Thank you for the great information! How can you tell if the cutting wheel is dull or worn out or if you're just using the wrong pressure?

[@ARTyRV]

Depends I’ll post a video link here for you

[@stellagirl7625]

Beautiful tutorial! Is your 2nd cut on the 1st wing up to your 1st cut? Is it bad to cut over a cut? What would happen? Will it break bad, ruin the cutter blade, or it's perfectly fine?

[@ARTyRV]

Don't cut over the other score.

[@carlbrenninkmeijer8925]

Thank !!!

[@ARTyRV]

Welcome!

[@mariapereira-kb3pw]

Thanks !!!!

[@ARTyRV]

You're welcome!

[@jillinnoliver2818]

I have a question about foiling if you don’t mind. My hands are disabled and I’m finding ways to get the jobs done but foiling would be much easier (I think) if I had a foiler. What are your thoughts about foilers and is there a brand you would recommend? Thank you 🙏

[@ARTyRV]

Yes it will help. We recommend the Glastar.

[@jamessmallridge3396]

Hi Ed. Newbie here. I’m having trouble getting a good score line. I’m a big guy but there’s no way I can use one hand like you. I’m having to use both hands to get enough pressure. What am I doing wrong?

[@ARTyRV]

Hi! Good to hear from you. I’ll do a Demo on Monday on the Livestream Q&A. It sounds like you might be putting too much pressure? See you on Monday!

[@dianelivingston4674]

Any tips on cutting small pieces of glass?

[@ARTyRV]

Tide two air of pliers, one on each side of score.

[@MICHELLEEVANS33]

How to cut a heart, the top part?

[@ARTyRV]

Great question! We have a few shorts on that subject and a long. Here is a short! kzbin.infoqLfIo51Iqj4?feature=share

[@lindavalentine7379]

I want to add a nose and whiskers to my glass cat. How do I do that?

[@ARTyRV]

Pretinned wire for whiskers and tack solder a small foiled nose - overlayed. Good luck!

[@lindavalentine7379]

Thank you!
