I watched another video on glass scoring and cutting that was terrible then I watched this excellent video! WOW! What a difference! So informative in a short amount of time🥰. Peter explained the tools and the techniques expertly. Now I feel like going back to the other video and recommend that she watch and learn from this one. LOL. Thanks for sharing your time and expertise sir😊😊😊🥰😊
I watched this video some months ago and was hooked. I’m watching it again to help me gain confidence with my cutting skills which is atrocious. Thanks once again for the wonderful videos Peter.
I learned so much from your video Peter. Thank you so much for taking the time. Excellent explanation. Just getting started to work with mosaics and glass. Years ago did one stained glass piece from a class. Still have it…a lot of fun.
Great video! what the smallest size of square stained glass pieces you recommend to use? Im doing a picture of a person, so I can't use big pieces. also, what the best adhesive for small pieces?
Thankyou so much. You can go as small as you like, really whatever works for you to achieve your project and it depends on how much detail you are looking for. I cant really say what's the best adhesive because I don't know what your project is. It will depend on the type of project you are doing, what's available in your country and what you are able to work with for the size tess you are using. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
As a Susan I feel I must protest 😆 ...can I also ask ..do you use a whetstone or grinding stone to smooth down the sharper bits of your glass pieces? Am leading a group who are keen to do glass on glass suncatchers but they are not so thrilled by my insistence they wear eye and hand protection. Unless I can smooth down their shards I feel we may run into problems at the grouting stage. Thanks for your clear and accessible tutorials.
Thankyou so much Sue. :) You can use a wet Diamond sanding pad for glass and they come in different grits and are not expensive if you don't have a stained glass grinder. You are so right, it is always wise to wear eye protection when working with glass especially if you are sanding or grinding. Thankyou for watching. :)
@@TreasuryRoad thanks for replying.. I'm going to show your tutorial to the group..they will learn a lot. I've also got some diamond files as well as whetstones.. Lovely Oz , I've spent quite a bit of time in the Adelaide Hills...it's the sun that makes the mosaics sparkle. There's a great Mosaicy garden in Strathalbyn..
Thank you for all these great videos. I've scored and cut stained glass with some success. I was recently gifted some glass subway tiles that were leftover from a friend's kitchen backsplash. Can glass subway tiles be cut down using the scoring method for mosaics or do they really require a wet? Thanks again.
There are a lot of different manufacturers of tiles and they are not all the same, I would be inclined to experiment and use what works best for you, if you mean giving them a bit of a soak like in my Johnson tiles video, if they are solid glass the water method wont work as the water needs to be absorbed such as in the case of crockery or ceramics. I bought a couple of glass subway style tiles and I cant use them as they are just to hard and wont break where I want them too, lucky I bought only two to experiment with.:)
Awesome video. Logical and well presented. Would you please be able to do a video using this exact same/similar method using ceramic tiles instead of glass, along with stockists of the tools especially for those of us in Australia? I think a lot of us would benefit. Many thanks in advance :)
Thankyou very much, I have made a small video cutting Johnson tiles, have a look at it, its an earlier one. If you look through some of the other videos there are videos on tools and one that I use for ceramic tiles also they mention suppliers. I think the information you are looking for is across a few videos not just one and a few of them mention suppliers and some have websites as well. I may end up and produce a video where its all in the one a bit further down the track. Thanks again for watching. :)
@@TreasuryRoad thanks Peter, I will have a look at your other videos, I thought I had seen them all, but maybe I missed a couple. Thanks for your reply :)
For me I just use a carpet square around 500 x 500mm they are cheap and perfect for my needs, I use the back of it as its like a rubber, firm but cushioned. You can buy proper cutting grids however the mat is so cheap, the only thing is never run your hand across it due to the glass splinters but I just use the edge of something to move the glass and vaccum the piece when Im finished and put it away. :)

@@monika-fu4ht My pleasure. :)
What do you use for the cutting pad.
For me I just use a carpet square around 500 x 500mm they are cheap and perfect for my needs, I use the back of it as its like a rubber, firm but cushioned.
