You guys are AWESOME! You are really helping me understand the small things in this beautiful craft that I am in love with. I am so grateful that I have come across you’re channel. Thank you, Charity P.
Great video using and working with a glass grinder...! I have my grinder setup in my laundry tub. Whenever I grind glass, I have a small hose that I connect to the laundry tub water faucet that provides water directly to the grinding stone and the glass that is being grinded so there is absolutely no dust whatsoever... The water keep the grinder bit clean and removes any and all glass dust into the grinder filter I have connected.
Same here...I bought it because it was one of the least expensive grinders I came across. I figured for just part time stained glass artwork as a hobby I didn't need a larger, more expensive grinder.
looking into this as a new hobby. I am from Belton, SC same state thank goodness .. Thank you for helping me learn something NEW... My Mom/best Friend left me 5-9-19 during a routine heart value replacement and in 6 years retiring from sheriff dept. My husband is my biggest (6'7") fan and encourages me to learn do other interest. He welds and does anything set in his mind. I paint and do landscaping for relaxing therapy so making the world beautiful is my gift. Thank you for helping me add something NEW to my life . Hope to meet you two Karen & Denver
+Karen Mills so nice to meet you! Thank you joining our glass community. We are happy to help with your stained glass journey. Monday at 7pm we’re live for the Q & A livestream for even more info. Stop by if you can!
Great tips! Loved the MOM one especially😁. MOM is also a wonderful remedy for sunburn. (Coming from a retired nurse practitioner now trying stained glass).
Milk of Magnesia - "it'll make your liver quiver". LOL My wife is from the South and uses that saying when describing certain bad tasting medicines. Didn't know about the set screw seizing problem. Thanks for the tip!
Old timers tip- most valuable. I may have had to drill out one of those old set screws...now I NEVER leave it on the machine. I always take it off so it won't rust in place. How long would you say one of the diamond bits should last?
That will depend on how often you use it. Thank you so much for watching! Join us Monday at 7Pm Est for the livestream Q&A. We chat about glass, answer questions, share info and there’s a glass demo.
Hi Ed, I've heard over and over that you should grease up the grinder so it doesn't freeze. What kind of grease should we use? Thanks so much! 😊 Opps! I asked too soon. I got the answer 😊 Thanks again!
Ed, In one of your videos you cut the top of a zinc border u with a small saw. Do you mind telling me what brand it is and where to buy one? Love watching your videos!! Thank you!
I haven’t used zinc in any of our videos. Not sure, maybe someone else? But when I use zinc, I just use a hack saw and a wood miter box. Thank you so much for watching!
Yes, definitely and make sure your grinder has water in it to keep the dust down. You also should wear a mask while cleaning, sweeping and dusting the studio.
Never heard of such a thing. I googled it and they are cute but I couldn’t find reviews or pricing. Has anyone tried them? Let us know and thanks for watching!
I have a window two feet by 44 in woman wants me to put a frame because the window has no support but it actually is made with that very thin lead that they use in the some catchers I didn't believe it myself the windows old and very unstable I agreed to put a frame because it cannot hold a bar of support I thought that would help her out but she wants a lot more than she can actually afford I feel bad I like to help her but it is not an easy fix I don't know what to do maybe you can give me some advice I love your show I've been there since the very beginning out on the outskirts but I do watch you every Monday thank you
Good to hear from you Pauline! Lay flat putty and clean. Let it lay flat for a few days then put it in a frame. That is most economical solution. Thank you so much for watching! See you on Monday.
Ed’s Dad had all kinds of great tips. Before he did stained glass he was a jet-engine mechanic in the Airforce. When he retired he used his many talents and learned stained Glass. We worked with him for 15 years before he passed. Miss him, but proud to pay it forward and share his knowledge.
@@ARTyRV oh wow! That's amazing! Ed's dad sounds like a really nice man to have made Ed such a funny, likable, and hard working mang himself. Can't wait to see all the high level content that you and Ed share!
+american ladybug I don’t think so. I hope not. You could turn try it and have someone stand outside your door and listen. Good luck and thanks for watching!
grinders are your biggest investment outside of glass. grinders are just plastic an electric motor and the important part the grind bit. Someone could make a millions if they sold a grinder without a grinder bit and the customer can buy any grinder bit. seriously grinders are a ripoff and a craft person could build one for less than $100.00.
glass is made from silica sand and could cause silicosis in lungs but probably not in the hobby. more for people who work in glass recycle. but stillgood to wear basic mask over mouth and nose when grinding. people have worked decades with much more toxic and dangerous materials creating art but that does not mean it is OK to throw all precaution away.
Most importantly, keep the grinder head wet as to not disperse glass dust into the air and throughout the studio. Masks are recommended when grinding as well!

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great tip!!! who would have thought? Love learning from you ...
I know right. Ed’s Dad had all kinds of cool tips we’ll be sharing.
Antifreeze, Great tip.

That’s a great idea. Glass dust is the worst kind.
Good idea.... good artworks....I like it
I just purchased this grinder yesterday and was relieved to hear you gave it such a good review! Thanks for all of your tips.
Thanks for watching and happy cutting!
Same here...I bought it because it was one of the least expensive grinders I came across. I figured for just part time stained glass artwork as a hobby I didn't need a larger, more expensive grinder.
Really enjoyed all your tips

I think you call the dust in the grinder a slurry! Haha! I learn something each time even tho I've done stained glass for a long time. Thx!
Yes, slurry when wet, glass dust when dry. Thanks for watching!
Thanks y’all!
Thank you for explaining so thouroughly. Not enough people do. Great video :)
Thank you for watching!
Great tips! Loved the MOM one especially😁. MOM is also a wonderful remedy for sunburn. (Coming from a retired nurse practitioner now trying stained glass).

I have COPD would you recommend that I use a face mask wile I work with my grinder?
Yes, definitely and make sure your grinder has water in it to keep the dust down. You also should wear a mask while cleaning, sweeping and dusting the studio.
What are your thoughts about plastic grinder bits? I saw some and wondered if they work just as well as the metal ones
Never heard of such a thing. I googled it and they are cute but I couldn’t find reviews or pricing. Has anyone tried them? Let us know and thanks for watching!
Sorry , they are gel bits by techniglass.
@@magali44276 we’ll check them out. Thanks!

Pauline, how did that recommendation work out or did you try a different fix?
Wow, loved that piece you were working on in the beggining of the video. lovely green. Did you paint that?!
We are restoring this and repainting a few pieces. This will be featured on an upcoming video. It is a beauty for sure.
@@ARTyRV I am excited!! Thanks for all of your wonderful tips and tricks. Never thought about antifreeze in the grinder to help keep the bit cool.

Hello sir how much will it cost me fir a grinder you featured here im from the philippines thanks
This is the grinder in our Amazon Storefront. www.amazon.com/shop/artyrvglassstudio/list/1QL2CEYL757HR Thanks for watching!
When you say antifreeze is that the same as vehicles? Dont want to buy the wrong kind❤😂😊 thanks in advance.
Yes. A very small amount
@@ARTyRV thanks so much 🙏 💓
My grinder head is very stuck what can I do. I have not use it in years.
So sorry to hear about that. That is a good question. We’ll be talking about this at our upcoming livestream on Monday at 7pm.
A little WD 40 sometimes helps. Look into the quick change bit at Sunshine glass works. 800-828-7159. Thank you for watching.
Is this a sponsored video?
No
Do you think a grinder is too loud for an apartment?
+american ladybug I don’t think so. I hope not. You could turn try it and have someone stand outside your door and listen. Good luck and thanks for watching!

We have one we’re reviewing soon. It’s even pricier. We’ll see if it’s worth it. Thanks for watching!
