Do you always need a diamond saw when making a fused glass project from pattern bars? No. I'll show you how to make simple pattern bars we can use to make a part sheet, without a diamond saw. That part sheet will be used in another project, next week.

Hi Jeff, Thank you so very much for taking the time you take to explain all of the intricacies involved in the projects that you do! I am a complete beginner, and I appreciate even the little things that you explain (like the reason you used 3mm fiber paper as opposed to thinfire in this project). This pattern-bar piece is really nice, and I can't wait to see what you do with it!

@beil3537 3 күн бұрын

Great effect... thanks for sharing. Though I'm curious as to why you stacked the tack fused elements vertically and not horizontally? Wouldn't this save mucking around with the dams and little bits of fire paper?

@RocketRoseArt 2 күн бұрын

Hi. No critical reason. I just wanted to reduce any compression, but really it could have just been stacked. Probably just me being a bit picky.

@annel1181 2 жыл бұрын

I am loving your videos, Jeff. You have such good ideas and explain the techniques really well. I was wondering if there was a specific reason for firing these mini pattern bars on their sides as opposed to just putting the squares of glass on top of each other to form little individual cubes? Is it so that you get one completely flat side? Many thanks. Anne

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Anne. You're spot on. Just so one side was completely flat. You don't need to do that though. Even if it sits a little crooked on the base I don't think it'll matter much.

Hi Jeff. I made this part sheet and it looks great. Except the surface is very lumpy. I used your firing schedule. I would like to re-fire so that the surface flattens out but not sure if I should go all the way up to 1526 and hold longer, or go to the normal 1450 and hold longer. What do you think?

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Sharon. Now that you've fused it together there probably isn't any need to take it so high. Lower temp longer will still work. Depending on how lumpy try around 1490 and watch until it flattens. If it isn't that uneven it may flatten quick. Remember, heat work is cumulative so firing it again is like firing it longer in the first fuse. That's what I would do. Take it up and hold and watch. Just check the thickness. If thicker than 6 mm it will spread more. If you want to maintain a thicker piece dam it and watch the anneal times. Hope that helps.

Did you use a clean sheet of rectangle under the purple transparent purple

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mary. If you mean a sheet of clear underneath, no I didn't. Just the 3 mm sheet of light violet. The final thickness is 6 mm.

@PorterVikki 2 жыл бұрын

Did I miss how you cut the pattern bars without a saw?

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Vikki. Mmm, I probably didn't explain enough in the video. Sorry about that. Normally, you will see artists make this by fusing up a long bar of layered strips. That would then be cut up into smaller pieces on a diamond saw. By fusing smaller lengths of the strips together and separating with Thinfire you don't need a saw to cut up. You effectively end up with a lot of small pattern bars the size needed to fuse up. Of course, this only works for simple pattern bars. But simple can still work well. You may ask how can I make a more complex pattern bar though? Well, you could place strips on edge beside what I had, then a one laying flat, some on edge on that, and so on. Dam it on the sides and fuse. Then take that and place them on a sheet of glass, as I did, or put them on a primed shelf and fuse together. The result after the fuse and flow can be quite amazing. Hope I explained okay. 🤔
