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!

[@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.

[@maureendabrowski3987]

Love your tips, refer yo them often!

[@ARTyRV]

Fantastic!

[@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!

Thank you so much!!! This helped me so a ton!! I fuse glass and cutting is not something I love to do. But your guide on it was so logical and easy to follow along with!!

[@ARTyRV]

We are happy you found us and that we could help. Thanks for watching!

[@denisekinsley3554]

This was very helpful - thanks! I'm a newbie and wanting to understand how glass breaks and how to plan my cuts wisely.

[@ARTyRV]

Welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@lindaschumacher-o2h]

Short sweet and to the point! Awesome!

[@anitafaulkner6312]

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

[@ARTyRV]

Many Thanks!

[@cathyriley5735]

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?

[@kevinweidner9981]

I love this. Working on cutting out an Iris right now. Help! Do you offer regular online classes. I am retiring and this is gonna be my “thang”.

[@jeanburgin160]

Love watching ... love your tips and methods.

[@tiffanyflewelling8825]

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for watching!

[@tiffanyflewelling8825]

Hey Barb and Ed, Love you videos... so entertaining! It would be great to see some videos on precise cutting of came! Thanks

[@ARTyRV]

Sure thing! We have it on our list!. Thank you!

[@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

[@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

[@catsantjane]

Explain the different sides of grossing pliers to use for what.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!
