Great video,thanks. I need to cut some pieces of front surface mirror glass to repair a couple of old twin lens reflex cameras. I have a new pencil type cutter. Any suggestions on which side to cut and whether to tap the score? Can’t use pliers or snappers because of the silvered surface. The mirror is about only 1.6 m thick. Had it a week and keep putting it off! Dave
I have this exact one and it's been nothing but great to use. The power is the thing that was the selling point for me, but just the additional features, like the drawer, or the removable water basin have been icing on the cake.
You, sir are a ninja with glass. Very impressive and motivating. I had no plans…zero…in fact to get into this. But I am sold! Your Amazon links, however do not work. Are you able to either get that lazy Jeff Bezos guy to fix it. Or maybe just let us know the specific model numbers, etc. I would love to give you the credit with the proper link ideally. If possible. And timely. Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you . I tried glass cutting for my project and the results were awful. Now I will try using your method . But I don’t get the small screechy sound. I had tried but couldn’t. I will try again. Hope to succeed.
Hi Jim, I do wire brush the lead if it needs cleaning before soldering. Older lead can oxidise so needs to be scrubbled clean to get a good joint with the flux. New lead doesn’t need to be cleaned.
Hi Lee, I use traditional vitreous glass paints sold at specialist outlets. Google Reusche glass paint suppliers in your area and you should be able to order online 🙂
Thank you for this review. I purchased a mastercraft brand glass cutter and it looks exactly like the ones in this video. I found it was exactly like what you had experienced. I couldn’t see the wheel, had to hold it on a 90 degree angle, it didn’t score the glass evenly, etc. I figured it had to be my imagination, but you solidified my unfortunate reality. I would not consider using a glass cutter of this style, ever again. In the end, I feel your experience is also unfortunate reality. Thanx for helping me feel sane again, and I’ll be sticking with appropriate tools for a job well done😉
Some of my most favorite ideas came from scribbling in a notebook during work or a meeting. Just letting my mind run wild and draw whatever came to it. I have repurposed many doodles into my art. ❤
Great video Derek, thanks for sharing😊 I'm about to paint a section of a fixed glass window unit, does it need to be primed first and is there a certain paint you would recommend that doesn't need curing? I've researched but to no avail😅
Would you say this grinder is significantly more quiet than others? I live in an apartment building and want to find something that wont be so loud, if not than how do you feel about an abrasive stone as an alternative?
Its about the same noise level as other grinders. The motor is quiet but the noise is generated when glass is being grinded, so they all sound about the same.
Hi Derek, I have owned these running pliers for some time. They are my go to tool for complex cuts as with practice you can run the fracture very slowly around a curve with great control. For simple and straight cuts I use traditional running pliers or my hands. Love your channel
Buenos días! Compre el curso online y me ha encantado, oficialmente eres mi mentor ☺️ tengo una duda acerca del Silver stain, si lo aplico en la misma cara del esmalte, la tin side, mientras estoy esparciéndolo puedo darle con la brocha de esparcir y retirar el exceso como se hace con el resto? Durante ese proceso en frío no afecta al esmalte hasta meterlo en el horno? O tengo que poner una capa gruesa ? He hecho pruebas y cuando aplico una capa gruesa si se solapan los brochazos estos adquieren un color más oscuro. No sé si mi duda está bien explicada, gracias 😊
Hello, so glad you and finding my online course valuable ! I am not sure I understand your question. Silver stain will appear darker if it is applied in a thicker layer. You can make the layer thinner with extra water in the mix or by using the badger brush to spread out the layer of stain more thinly. Hope that helps 🙏🙂
Gracias por contestar, si extiendo el amarillo de plata y cubre el esmalte, antes de hornear, mientras retiro el exceso no resulta corrosivo para el esmalte en el proceso? Todo ello previo a hornear, quizá es una pregunta tonta 🙏🏻
It is best to fire the silver stain separately to enamel painting. So I suggest you do your enamel painting first and fire that in the kiln. Then paint your stain after that and fire the glass again.
@@DerekHuntArtist Sorry for not explaining myself well, the question is if while I apply the silver stain and it covers the already fired enamel, if it can corrode it while I take my time removing it before firing
Hi Derek. Do you know if you’ll be conducting a glass painting class in September and if so what are the dates? I live in the states, will be in Europe in September and would love to take one of your glass painting classes. I have experience in glass windows, fuseing and blowing. Lee…
Hi Lee, I will be announcing more dates soon and September is a strong possibility. Please check my social media or my web site www.limelightstudios.co.uk/courses for updates !
14th & 15th June NEW DATES ANNOUNCED for my in person Glass Painting Master Class. To register your interest and booking details CLICK below www.derekhuntartist.com/2-day-glass-painting-master-class
Bought one from Screwfix just to do 2 jobs. Useless. Convinced that there is no edge to the wheel and the glass is only 2mm thick. Failed. No sound when scoring and the first thing I found was not being able to see the wheel when cutting to a drawing. I was wanting to cut two windows for a model steam loco. Within a 2 inch square. Very disappointed. The gadget I have for cutting glass tubes worked a treat first time.
I can visualize what I'd like to establish, but the steps to take as your specific sized drawings I would like to learn how to do it step by step as you teach in these shorts
I would purchase a book or DVD of your making of your stained glass windows because you teach simply but the time it takes and the instructions of the specific elements I would love to learn from and you would make a great author and Mentor for us all. You're a Classic Artist in a modern age🇺🇸
I am publishing a new online course on how to make stained glass windows, which should be ready in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more information soon!
Wonderful portrait Love the fact that these techniques can be used with watercolors the alcohol water etc hot incredible textures …I did this on a floor 600 square feet 11 layers and many hours later to create a terrazzo type floor …have a great day and thank you for sharing

Watching again as I finally started my stained glass class! I had issues cutting out my pieces that were half circles and lots of waves! It is my first piece and I totally forgot about the tips you had here! Now I'm ready to go grab some practice glass ...and do some more practicing with the shapes you've shown here!
