Grinding Art Glass Pieces

Video Transcript

Because I don't want to get my fingers in there, and I might get all kind of fumbly, I'm going to use this little Morton tool which has a little grip at the end, and I'm going to hold my piece of glass securely in place. It's got a rubber tip on the top, and as I turn my grinder on, I can put it right up against the wheel and it won't fall out of my fingers, so I'm going to hold this nice and tight, and I'll be able to grind this all the way around and then just turn it around and grind the rest of my piece of that glass. So let's get started. You want to apply a certain amount of pressure, not too much, not too little, but to get rid of your marking so that your piece is the exact shape that you want it to be. And there we go, I think we have it. We've got the little "head" part of my butterfly and this is a splash guard, just in case you didn't know. It helps to protect your eyes when you're grinding. And we're going to continue to do this grinding process with the rest of our pieces.
