How to Make Curves on Stained-Glass Art

So I went ahead and I've scored my first cut. This is very textured glass actually. This side is much more textured than the other so I am really cutting on the smooth side. So, I'll do my first break and it's not quite as curvy as I'd like it but we can deal with it. So what I can do now is continue on this piece cutting this curve, again with my cutter, and then hopefully with any luck I can break that and we will have something that approximates the curve I wanted. Let's see, let me try and grip it very well, there we go. And, OK, so now we kind of have the piece that is close. But you see it has some rough edges. I mean look, it kind of has this rough edge and then this one up here so that is where our grozing pliers come in. And that is what I will do in our next clip, is show how we can take a piece that is approximately the shape that we want and fix it, and smooth it out, so that it looks like the shape that we do want.
