Ohio piper Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 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.

don in brooklin on Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 We used to have a person who did both scrolling and stain glass. Hasn't been around lately. If you search for Pellow in the gallery you can find a few examples. I will try and touch base with Frank and see if can share one.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 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. jollyred, Scrappile, JackJones and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelCass Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 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.

Old Joe Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 I have done dozens of projects combining stained glass and scrolling. This is an engagement present I scrolled backed in glass. I cut an angled recessed ring in the outer perimeter and inserted the glass in back of it.

Frank Pellow Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 'don in brooklin' was referring to me. I've backed many of my scroll-sawn pieces with appropriate glass. I'm attaching photos of three of those pieces. Norm Fengstad, Michael B., red river and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael B. Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Wow, Frank! Those are gorgeous. I really like the combination of the scroll saw work with the glass. Thanks for sharing! Frank Pellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 I actually had the same idea but went a slightly different route. I use acrylic sheets, they are easy to cut with my scrollsaw, and I'm at the point I'm trying actual stained glass patterns. Here is a deer I got from a coloring book I used as a trial. red river, ChelCass, Roberta Moreton and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
