Glass engraving tutorial for beginners August 2011

[@WorldofGlassCraft]

I am so glad to see a new video from Lesley. This is brilliant work, thanks Lesley for sharing.

[@MrUvig]

@lespyke its dope...i like it and very informative...how much was the micro motor

[@19coax62boxcu2]

I ingrave allmost 15 years what you do, i like it very much.

[@glassengraver]

Once again a big thank you for all the lovely reviews. I am unbelievably busy and have no time to answer individual questions which I also get by emails and messages etc, every single day from all over the world. I will just say quickly here, the water drip feed is simply a 2way gang valve from an aquatic pet shop. Bit of tubing and an empty milk bottle. The drill I mainly use is a micromotor, Google it :-)The burs are a variety of diamond, stone and rubber, they all do different things depending on speed, pressure, wet, dry, worn out or new. You just have to experiment and practice. I have a large dust extractor as well as using the mask. Using water minimises dust levels considerably. Have a good light over the glass so you can see it when it is wet. Have fun and take care. ♥

Sra. Lesley Pyke, yo me dedico a la fabricación de vitrales y grabado en vidrio, el grabar es un ARTE y usted lo hace excelente, me quito el sombrero y me postro a sus pies, es usted la mejor. Un saludo desde Villahermosa, Tabasco México.

Hello Mrs Lesley hope am correct,am from Tanzania I have been following all of your projects and I have also started engraving the only problem is that most tools are available abroad and not in my home country,be blessed and always grateful for your work

[@glassengraver]

I use the same tools as a dental technician. If you have dentists there and technicians that make the false teeth, then you can ask where they get their tools. Also nail artists use a similar tool.

[@octaviantega5600]

@@glassengraver Thanks for your recommendation Mrs Lesley Pyke I will start the follow up as soon as possible may I get your email address ii you don't mind

[@glassengraver]

Thanks for your reply Lesley, I too would be interested in seeing a demonstration of engraving text, this is where I've decided to start. until I can improve enough to try some of your other works. if you already have this covered can you please leave a link, thanks.

[@glassengraver]

I mainly engrave text by sand blasting, only occasionally I do hand engrave letters.

How long have you been doing this, and what made you decide to try glass etching? I also wondered if you've ever broken a piece whilst working on it? You do amazing work, I love it.

[@JEWELTOYA69]

How to polish your engraved glass so that it looks like glass again and what bits to use to polish when finished

[@christopherlakin]

Hi Lesley, thanks for the advice, although you seem to be digging fairly deep into this bottle, As a newbie Glass engraver I'm concerned about the glass shattering, does this not affect your patterns and how deep would you go into a glass for example?

[@glassengraver]

It is pretty thick so is fine to engrave deeply' if it is thin then I surface engrave

[@rhondareese3908]

I need tips on how to get started engraving glass. How do you know when to change the burs and when to use the rubber.

Hi Lesley, it's me again. congrats on your wedding. Do you have a demo on sandblasting Glass?

[@glassengraver]

Lol...I think only one of my very earliest videos. Maybe I'll do another one day

[@beccahammond]

I'm having a hard time finding a decent rubber bit for polishing. The burs I bought seem to disentegrate when I try to polish my etched glass, leaving little rubber shavings all over my work. I tried turning the speed down on my micro motor and that did not solve the problem. Could it be that my burs are too soft? Thank you, I love your work.

[@glassengraver]

odd?? Cheap products maybe. Don't use water with them.

[@glassengraver]

Thanks. I have used a large variety of diamond burs, but the wheels are rubber. Many questions are asked and asnwered on my Glass Engraving Club page on Facebook.

Hi, Lesley. How do you sandblast?

[@glassengraver]

My teaching channel is www.patreon.com/glassengraving

[@glassengraver]

HI Brad, no it is not dangerous, really and no I have never cut myself. I think in 30 years only twice did I drill right through the glass, both times it was very very thin in the area I was engraving on a curvy vessel, whereas it was thicker in the other areas, I had not expected the variation and I think in both cases it was very cheap hand blown glass.

[@glassengraver]

Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras. Mis mejores deseos.

I don't know the answer Juan. It is my hope that one day I can organise translations or at least subtitles as so many people miss out. All the best.
