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.post-28660-0-92380900-1464012270_thumb.jpg post-28660-0-92380900-1464012270_thumb.j

 

Can somebody please edit this and turn the picture 90 degrees?

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.

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.
