Preparing Glass for Stained Glass Projects - Using a toyo pencil grip glass cutter
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Now I need to make sure, again, that I clean my table and get those extra shards of glass
off of there. Now that I have a clean working space, I'm going to, again, take my glass
cutter. You want to make sure you're holding your cutter the correct way. This one is a
Toyo pencil grip, and I use this finger to guide the swivel head. You are going to be
holding it pretty much straight up and putting quite a bit of pressure on here. I'm going
to cut right in the center of my line. Because we're using foil, you want to always just
kind of cut in the center of each of your lines. Lead is a different process and I'll
explain that when we work on a lead panel. But right now, I'm just going to take and
do one line at a time,
and I'm going to try and go around these curves and get this all in one piece and then separate
my pieces on this particular part. On this circle, I'm going to have to make a few different
score lines.
