John, im a hobbyist at glass art. I admire the way you take command of the glass. Great work!

[@johnjvaughn]

Thanks!

I love the cover for your grinder, great idea! This is a great video, so straight forward!

[@glassartbyjohn]

Thanks! I made the cover from clear glass and copper wire (8 gauge), and foiled and soldered it together.

What did you use for the birds’ eyes?

[@johnjvaughn]

Just a very small piece of green glass. At about 8:25 in the video, I show the use of nippers to pare down the piece to a small circular-ish shape. I don't foil this piece like the other larger pieces, I just insert it and use lots of solder around it to hold it in place.

Thank you! I am not sure how I missed the section on you making the eye🤣
