SGDIY | Flower of Life Ep3 | Glass grinding

[@patrickM2410]

Hey. I’ve been following since the beginning here in western mass.The long form videos are great because I put them on when I’m working and it’s like having someone to hang out with in my workspace. Currently I’m working on a space/planet project.

Consider getting a foot pedal power switch for your grinder so you don't have to keep turning it off by hand every time. I use the Wen 0392 15-amp foot pedal that I bought on Amazon for $12 and it has helped me because it cuts the power when you step off. The only thing that it may not help is my posture, still trying to nail that down. Been watching for a while now. I just added a monitor to my stained glass area in my garage, so I usually have videos on as I'm out there as well so I can learn while I'm working.

I‘m watching from Austria and looking forward to getting into stained glass as soon as I have the money to spare. I enjoy your calmness and authenticity.

Hi from Washington State 😃 I love your channel and genuine personality! I'm retired from aerospace in California. I'm a 65 yr old Grandmother. I am getting ready to start stained glass but I've been watching many KZbin videos on the subject and collecting my tools, etc. You are a great teacher and you keep it simple so being new, I really appreciate it! Huge 49ers fan. I lived in California for most of my life but came to Washington to retire. Don't worry about getting things done or edited, we are here for the ride. I'm just happy you are back! 😃 🦀 🌲

Hi again, am watching from CT. Am recently retired but keeping very busy. 1 - 1.5 hours is a good length for the videos, sometimes I have to break up the sessions depending on what I am doing and sometimes I increase the speed but really enjoy watching you through the process and realizing you have to go through the same steps as the rest of us but you are just better at it. I have made quite a few of the pieces that you have shown us, definitely one of my favorite folks to follow. Keep up the good work and fun conversation!!

I liked this hour and a half. I got all my small pieces cut for some Christmas ornaments. Ontario

Hi! I've been following u for a yr and half now! I'm from England but I live in N FL. You are the only staied glass artist I watch consistently on KZbin! I'm thinking about starting my own channel!

I'm from Washington State but working in Newport News, VA as a welder. I've been wanting to get into glass work for last several years and I was searching for a stained glass flower-of-life and your videos popped up. I saw the videos you make were extra long and I've just been watching as I've been working on some of my wire wrapping. I'm excited to start glass work but it might be a month or two before I start. Right now, watching you work while I do my own artistic expression is kinda like working in the shop with a buddy if that makes any sense at all. I'm not going to start with this project but this is going to be a special piece with a lot of meaning that I'm definitely excited to work on. Take care and thank you for what you do.

Central Illinois here. Watching while designing my next project.

Watching from South Louisiana, enjoy watching your videos. Happy you are back.

Hi. I live in Oregon. Only been doing stain glass time. A few years until I can retire. I also cross stitch and play Ark. Your honeycomb video was the first stain glass I made after watching your video. I added a colored bee bevel.

[@lisalemaster9383]

I also use that same coolant. I find it definitely extends the life of the bit. Looking forward to seeing it finished ❤

[@JanneGlass]

Watching from The Netherlands. You definitely got yourself a challenging project with all those pieces, wow. Biggest piece I made had about 110 pieces and that was soooooo much work!

[@ohiopipper3956]

Sitting here smoking a pipe. I am new to stain glass and starting to buy all my tools to start. Doing my research on grinders and ran across your video.

[@kristinglenn4983]

Boaz, Alabama Roll Tide!!! Love watching your videos!

I'm from California. I've recently gotten into embroidery so I watched this video while working on a new project but usually watch while cooking dinner 😊

[@jeannettewaldron8556]

[@theresefrank3444]

I’m from Montgomery, Alabama and I usually watch your videos when I’m winding down at night before I go to sleep. I started watching your channel when you first started your channel. A tip for you is to wear finger cots when you grind you don’t get as many cuts. Also I cover my patterns with clear contact vinyl.

[@BobbiSchneider]

Montana here. I enjoy your videos too.

[@trebortd]

That's a lot of grinding work. The project is looking good. I watched to the end.

[@CraftyHanna]

Southern California, love stained glass, love your videos and I think 1:20 would be good. Retired with nothing to doubt watch videos - lol

[@ScottMartin-yb2fc]

Northern CA, thanks for the vids 😃

[@sdsweetpea1]

👍love your focus on perfection. We're you able to finish your kaleidoscope?

[@sdsweetpea1]

Thank you for the reply. Your kaleidoscope looks really good.

[@timothycowdrey1327]

What kind of coolant do I use in grinder or does it have to be specific kind? Love the flower

[@jodysauer9040]

Cutting glass

[@quocta1978]

Been watching you for years when I was living in Korea. Now I’m living in the Bay Area too and haven’t done glass work for a while. Been uninspired to do any glass work but watching you go makes me want to get back into it. Do you know of any places to pick up glass near Benicia/Vallejo?

[@eoluvbigcats]

Watching from NY. How long is too long (for a video)? If you're into this craft, it can never be too long, but the length of a movie would be a good length. I'm retired but have so many things I'm working on that my time is valuable. I'm drawing up a new stained glass project. I was taught to number each piece so that the piece you grind goes into the correct spot.
