Stained glass


Recommended Posts

Well if you seen my thread in introduction it has need a long time for me since I used my scroll saw. The wife and I started doing stained glass and having a lot of fun learning about it. Now I am wanting to incorporate stained glass with scroll saw project. So this will be interesting. I think it will just  be a sheet of glass not an actual stained glass project. Using a sheet of glass behind a scrolled out project and mount it on a chain for a window. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone try that. So I am looking forward of trying that. You can make a box out of stained glass and you make boxes out of wood so I think I can get a dermal router bits and play around with that idea. Maybe that will help you with Ideas LOL.

I have done a couple projects and actually have a couple that I wish I had finished and maybe will at some time. I had bought many sheets of stained glass years ago and they hopefully are still in tact in basement. But here is one I did and you can guess when. It is a blue stained glass piece behind te scrolling to represent the sky. I also make alot of religious projects that I use various stained glass behind some of the elements. Tough to see on this one but behind the scrolled areas on the steps is red stained glass. Years ago I made many religious prayer box crosses plus religious stand crosses that I used stained glass behind the scrolled cutouts. I would then line the box with felt. meant to hold prayer beads and prayer cards. sorry I do not have any of the photos because they are all still film version. Those are another project that I have many pieces cut but never assembled and would like to finish them too. I think one of these days I am going to dedicate some months in a winter to just finish up some of my started projects and nothing but that. Sounds like an idea but who knows. 😀

I also do stained glass, in fact I was doing glass long before I started Scrolling.  I have a lot of glass in my shop but no place to work on it.  The price of glass has soared as well as other glass related items.  Having used a SG saw made it relatively easy to learn to use a scrollsaw. Some people have learned that SG patterns make good Intarsia patterns.
