Stained Glass: "A How To" Series #2: Practice cuts

I’ve always wnate dto know how to do this. Great stuff.

so thats how it is done – correctly!
well you learn something new everyday :-)
I am assuming mirror is similar to glass ? Does mirror have the same characteristics as glass?

Theresa, Mirror is glass, but it has a reflective backing. The backing prevents it from breaking cleanly and can tear. I don’t have much experience with it, but I would assume that most mirrors are cut to size first then coated. I do have some scrap, so maybe I will mess around with it and see how it cuts.

Thanks, Keith. This was a particularity helpful video for me personally. I have made several mirrors and tried cutting them but my cuts ended up being pretty ragged. From the video I can see some improvements in my technique that may help improve mirror cuts.

Wauuu.
It’s wonderful to see your face in life motion.
I have cut some glass in my life, just little for the houses I had, and a picture fram and so. It never seemed as easy as you make it look.
Thank you for sharing your skills with us, I will follow this blog with great joy.
Best thoughts,
