Square Can Be Beautiful, If It's a Fused Glass Bowl, Fused Glass Project Tutorial

Рет қаралды 4,535

Күн бұрын

Last week we made a fused glass part sheet from some pattern bars. This week, we'll make a square(ish) bowl from a section of that part sheet.
I'll cut it up on my ring saw, assemble it, fuse it and then slump it in an interesting twist mould, but only part of the mould.

THAT is beautiful! Jeff you really do lovely work and what I truly enjoy is your simple but thorough explanations. Your precision measurements tell me you were either in engineering or maybe in gemstones, a cutter? Regardless, your accuracy is incredible and inspiring! 💖👍😊

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

You are very observant. 30 years of software development, about 8 years gemstone cutting (and cabochon cutting as you can see in some of my videos), a lifetime of loving anything science, such as Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, and generally a little OCD. Though as I get older I try to temper the OCD with tolerance and a love of just doing it and not stressing over the detail. Though I still see fractals in everything. 😁🤔😜👍 Not much hope for me.

Hi Jeff, another beautiful piece. The curve on the sides looks brilliant. Would have loved to see you cut the 3mill strips, I bet that was a pain 😳. I will have to check out if Oceanside 96 has striker glass, I sure they would have. I also have been desperate to find a guide for my grinder, I’ll check out the glastar site and hope it fits. Will Anne be the next KZfaq ⭐️? Would be very interesting watching her put together her jewellery pieces 😁. Thanks again great video.

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ed. I may have lead you astray. They were 3 mm thick but 6 mm wide. They were then laid on edge so you get a 3 mm border. I asked her about being the ⭐️ thing. Don't think that's going to happen. 😀 But might be able to show a few more clips occasionally. Take care.

Another great project! Could you please tell me what grit size and particulate you use to sandblast your pieces? Thanks again and I can’t wait for your next video! 🙏🏻😊

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ev. I use Aluminium Oxide 80 grit. I find the Alox not as aggressive as Silicone Carbide. The 80 grit works well, as long as you're not too aggressive. Not too close and don't linger in one place too long. I do designs on glass as well, and it will still cut deep if you want. So just lightly for something like that. Hope that helps.

why do you sandblast before fire polishing? do I need to?

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve. No, you don't have to. I do it to remove any small bits of devit that may have occurred. There are often small areas of devit. If there is any it will likely get worse in the Fire Polish. Also to remove any other imperfections. I do it mainly as a precaution and for me it's easy to do. Sort of insurance. If the surface is good and you've just done some coldworking, say with a diamond pad, you don't really need to do it.

Hi Carol. If you have a look at about the 4 minute mark into the video you can see the mould. It's a bit of an odd shape. Sorry, can't be sure where I purchased it. But any squarish mould may be alright.

Can you tell me where I can purchase the 'stop' for your glass grinder? Or at least what it is called? Or is that something you machined yourself?

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. I think you're referring to the guide you can see when I'm refining the size of the strips. That's an accessory to the Glastar Grinder. You should be able to get that from your glass and tools supplier. As I'm not sure where you are, I can't really suggest anybody. If you don't have a local supplier, just do a search for Glastar Grinder and they should have the accessories. Hope that helps.

why do you flip it before fusing. sorry if you already have answered this. Thanks

@RocketRoseArt 2 жыл бұрын

In those pieces where there are straight lines in the design, I fuse it with the top down to keep those lines straight. If you've ever done something like this, you'll notice the lines on the surface facing up after fusing can be a bit wobbly from the glass moving around. On the bottom surface the glass can't move so readily and the lines stay much straighter.

Can you put hot food in these infused glass bowls?

@RocketRoseArt Жыл бұрын

Hi Janice. Only some colours are considered food safe. It's not the heat, more the possible leaching of things like cadmium and lead into the food. It's a low risk but still a risk. In this piece, I did use 0332 Plum which does contain lead. So it's not really food safe. If I had covered it with clear glass then it could be considered food safe, though, according to Bullseye, it should still be tested. The only way to be sure, as far as I know, is to use only glass that does not contain lead or cadmium.

@@RocketRoseArt Thank you for your quick reply. Do you think a bowl made of fused black and cream coloured glass would be okay to serve medium hot food in?

@RocketRoseArt Жыл бұрын

@@janicelynnadams1926 Hi Janice. If it's Bullseye glass then this page is the best reference for the whole food safe question - www.bullseyeglass.com/is-bullseye-glass-food-safe.html. Sorry, but I can't give you a better answer. I don't know what brand of glass or even the proper colour names. If it is Bullseye then have a look at the Bullseye page I linked to.
