Old Joe Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) I have done a lot of stained glass over the years, but not much recently. I am new to the scroll saw, but I am planning to incorporate both glass and scrolling into one mixed art. This was a combination of getting my feet wet again with cutting glass and trying an experiment with combining the glass cartoon to wood. After I cut the glass and soldered it together I laid it on a 1/4" piece of oak plywood. Then I traced the outline of the cartoon on the wood, scrolled the shape out. Next I applied copper foil to the inside cut of the "frame" and soldered the cartoon to the wood. Then I applied copper foil to the outside of the frame and tinned it with solder, added the chain. It is a little crude, but like I said, a first attempt. Ultimately I plan on mixing glass into vases and boxes, and I have another idea to work it into an intarsia project. Can somebody please edit this and turn the picture 90 degrees?

Barry5180 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I love mixed media projects and this one is terrific. It may be the first attempt but looks pretty darn good. Can't wait to see how they turn out as you perfect the process. Barry Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Great work on that Joe. Thanks for reminding us that scrolling can be incorporated into other venues as well. Thanks for sharing this work of art with us. DW Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Nice work there man. Just when you think you have most of it figured out someone comes along with another great idea. Never thought about doing stained glass with scrolling. What a very interesting way to do things. Thanks for sharing Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrampaJim Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Love it! Keep us posted as you refine your process. I think a lot of us would like to try our hand at it too! I have often looked at stained glass as something I wanted to try. When you are ready, perhaps you could do a tutorial for the rest of us. I know I would be all over that! Thanks, again.

Denny Knappen Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wonderful work with mixing stained glass and scrolling. Would three be a problem with the differences of expansion and contraction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Joe Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wonderful work with mixing stained glass and scrolling. Would three be a problem with the differences of expansion and contraction? Good question, though I did make a stained glass window for a dollhouse many years ago and used the same technique. There was never an issue. And I never want to do that again. The pieces were miserably small to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
