My pleasure. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

@@stainedglasscuts2360 where did you buy color glass sheets, sir?

Good luck! Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Ed- Thanks for watching! How I make the connector can be found in my video: "Stained Glass - How to Make the 7 Rings Mobile". If you go to this video you will find details at the 8 minute mark. th-cam.com/video/W-geWGLP_Hs/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

Margareta- Thanks! Cheers!

And lucky. :) Thanks for watching Steevie! Cheers!

Debbie- Thanks for watching! I enjoy sharing my discoveries Cheers!

Debbie- Thanks for watching. I know what you're saying about textured glass. When I'm cutting I'll even look at "flat" glass to see which side is smoother. You can often feel the slight variations with your fingers. Cheers!

Thanks Caroline. Just back from vacation with some new design ideas.

Thanks so much! Cheers!

Milo - Thanks for watching! Nurture that inner child. Cheers! 😊

Thanks Judy!

Karen- Thanks for watching. I usually mention in my videos that I'm using only tested compatible COE 96 glass but I missed it in this video. I have taken to always mention it in the description too, which I did with this video. Good catch.

Thanks!

A piece of chalk would make a lovely hole too. What fuse were you doing for twice cooked? Full, contour? Thanks for the new video I was excited to see it pop up. I love people who are like yourself a combination of scientist, explorer and artist😊

This is a beautiful video, but you have neglected critically important safety information for new people, and wrongly refer to the materials as "stained glass" (not formulated for fusing nor tested to be compatible" rather than "compatible fused glass". An easy fix would be a voice-over or character-generated clarification of this issue. All teaching artists should be responsible for passing off the best information.

@kareykaram4243 You're living up to your name. Ultimately, people are responsible for their own choices, even if they are uninformed choices based on poor information. Stop haranguing this man for a simple mistake that was not included in other videos, and frankly, one that you should already know if you are using glass castoffs to make scrap trinkets. Most of the people watching this video are not trying to learn how to make these things, they are watching creative people do creative things that they will never undertake themselves.

Yes I have. There are 2 videos: Part 1 and 2. "Stained Glass Polygon Cutter - How To Make One" Thanks for watching!

Irene- Thanks for watching! The good news, you can watch how to make the polygon cutter on my channel. "Stained Glass Polygon Cutter - How To Make One". There are two videos: Part 1 and Part 2. Cheers!

Thanks Judy! 😊

Thanks so much! Happy Valentines Day!

@@stainedglasscuts2360 you as well! I have my second firing going right now! I can’t wait to try more advanced projects. I want to make a sun-catcher/ dream-catcher. My husband and children and grand child are Native American. Do be surprised when I call upon you for ideas 😃

Elizabeth- I think this technique could make a great dreamcatcher. Especially if made with rings. I've overlapped 3 rings before. You can see the result on Instagram "StainedGlassCuts". But adding more rings in a weave would be cool. Always happy to help. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

@@stainedglasscuts2360 thanks. I’ll keep that idea brewing…I don’t have any cold working tools yet. I don’t have a circle cutter, I have a kiln. And ideas, I have lots of ideas, lol. Thanks for the help!

Thanks so much! Happy Valenties Day!

Debbie- Thanks! I got tired of cutting pentagons to make dodecahedrons for terrariums by hand. Came up with the cutter. The stars were kind of a bonus. Hope you checked out my videos on how to make the cutter. Cheers!

Debbie- Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Nina- Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

Sorry.

LOL! You know you loved the pun. Thanks!

Thanks for watching! That is a great point. I was having a problem in my cuts, not knowing exactly when to stop without cutting into the ring. I've come up with a solution to that which I'll be showing in my next video. I take a 3mm diamond burr and make paired holes opposite each other just shy of the the edge of the inside of the ring. I then saw across the center joining the holes. The center pieces just fall out now, and I don't have to worry about accidentally cutting into the ring. This whole process is kind of like blasting a tunnel in a mine, which is actually how I came up with this idea. You need to have somewhere for the tightly packed glass to go. The kerf of the saw provides that space. Cheers! from a Stained Glass Rockhound.

Sharon - Thanks for watching. The brass stands up well to being outside. Cheers!

Same to you! I hope you have a great year! Cheers!🎆🍷

Thanks for watching Keith! I like your idea. I've found that on larger circles, with my method, the glass sometimes didn't necessarily release the inner arc. So now, great minds think alike, I've been taking my 3mm diamond bur and drilling holes along the arc, usually 6 or 8 depending upon the size of ring I want. I drill them right next to the arc. Then I saw across joining them. The pieces just drop out. I'm going to try your method, scoring rather than sawing. I won't get as wet, for sure. 😊 Cheers!

Keith - I have a question. I tried your technique. It works and I stayed nice and dry. I did have a bit of trouble getting the glass to release. I ended up hitting the middle repeatedly with the ball on my glass cutter until I was able to shatter out one piece. After that everything came out easily. Was this the proper approach? Thanks!

Gracias por ver! ¡Salud!

Gracias. Eres muy amable.

Pamela - Thanks for watching. The microwave kilns are a great way to find out if you like glass fusing with very little investment. If you do like it, you'll love moving up to a "real" kiln. So much more room and control. Keep at it! Cheers!

Thanks for watching Bob. My next video is all about "scraps". Cheers!

@@stainedglasscuts2360 Scraps are currently on my "How the heck do I manage these?" list. Do I invest the effort in categorizing and identifying the scraps based on their original purchase (e.g. color code, striker, reactive, etc.) or just have a scrap pile of random COE 90 (or separately, COE 96, since I seem to be incapable of sticking with just one brand)? I look forward to your thoughts and experiences. :)

Thanks!

LOL! Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I feel your pain!😫 I'd love a bigger kiln. 😊 Cheers!

Connie - Thanks for watching. I'm still experimenting. What fun! Cheers!

Alejandro - Gracias por mirar. Disfruto descubriendo y copartiendo lo que creo saber. :) - Salud!

Christina - Thanks for watching! I used to make a lot of dodecahedron terrariums and needed to cut a lot of pentagons.

Mickey - Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Patti- Thanks for watching! I remove the links so I can add the O-ring to the top of the chain. When the piece is hung the O-ring orients the glass to say a window or a wall. Hope this helps. Cheers!

I'm sure if I was looking at the links in person it would have been obvious. I appreciate you discussing the need to correctly mount the chain connectors so the mosaic hangs properly. I would have missed that.@@stainedglasscuts2360

Kert - Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Richard - Thanks for watching! I had thought about a ring saw. Didn't know you could get one with a separating blade. I would have tried it for sure. I agree, probably would have taken longer.

Thanks! Look forward to seeing you.

Thanks Caroline! I've been trying to figure out a way to make a chain out of the glass rings. More to come!

Since I'm trying to have everything I'm making now able to be outside, the brass works great.

Terry- Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Thanks for watching! Cheers!

You can find Part 2 in my content. The thumbnail is a bunch of polygons and stars. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

I toast you all and treat myself. This video was definitely worth a Blantons. - Cheers!

Thanks! And thanks for watching! Cheers!
