This experiment, I use stainless steel rod to shape strips of glass for a weaving idea. I learned a lot from this process and cannot wait to try again with the new information.

the twisty cane addition flattened our gorgeously btw. ive made twisty cane of many varieties in furnace work, i know youre not exactly happy with the results but i think its great, and if you ever wanna chop off a rectangle and roll it onto a blowpipe that could be really neat too. keep up the great work!

@joshschneider9766 2 месяца назад

i wanna full melt a big weave like this til its a homogenous billet in a dammed mold, then cut squares off that and stack them on end, then cut tiles off that for a furnace work rollup. ill bet thatd be dizzyingly detailed. this came out amazing and gives me a TON of ideas. thanks for sharing!!

What a fun and oh-so-creative way to "weave" glass! Love this! Thanks for sharing!

Mis saludos cordiales desde Argentina. Aquí tenemos inconvenientes para obtener la mayoria de los insumos .Muy bello el proyecto. Good job!

@lynevans4308 3 года назад

Nicely done. Very large piece.

@moltenworksglassstudio 2 года назад

Thank you! Hoping for the next one to be even better :)

@lesselavie7675 3 года назад

Bravo! I like the noodles....seems more textured with the varying. Wonder if an American flag would work and then slump it like its waving....good video thank you!

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

Thank you, I really want fit more strips because that would be more variance and texture. I'm planning on shaping it like that, so I will keep you posted when I get the results! I'm sure that would work. I'm going to run another test in the near future learning from this one.

Beautiful, but I would have lots of swear words. Thanks for solving the mystery. I may have courage one day to do a 6x6" piece. :)

@marypoppins4199 3 года назад

This appears to be a simple technique but I've found the firing of the slumped strips the killer! (too much and they fall sideways on the final tack or not enough and you can't get the strips through)

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

Yes slumping them so they can fit the other parts through is definitely the biggest challenge I have had. I'm getting thicker rod so I have more space to put glass strips through

Great video thank you

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@helene650 2 года назад

love your videos and thank you! Would you be so kind to share the dimensions of your rods? TYI!

@moltenworksglassstudio 2 года назад

I believe these are 3/8” rods, but from this experiment, I would do bigger rods like 3/4” and it could be tubing too. I’m going to shoot another video with bigger rod to get it to work better!

Incredible

Hi, what is the name of this white perforated base and where do i find it?

@moltenworksglassstudio 2 года назад

Morton glass cutting system. They sell the grids and the whole system and I love it

@cindydouthit8029 3 года назад

This was a really good and informative video!

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

Yes! I love to hear that, thanks!

@soobraunstein2691 3 года назад

Are you cutting on a table or the floor? Also I’d love to see you cut strips without it being sped up.

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

I'm cutting on a table I built that is 4x10 feet. It's MDF wood, which makes a great cutting surface. I'll be posting a new video soon with more cutting techniques and I'll be sure to include strips! Thanks

@dianeedwards9451 4 месяца назад

Where did you get the rod? Was it something you can buy at Lowe’s or Home Depot?

@moltenworksglassstudio 2 месяца назад

I bought it at a metal supply store. I'm sure you might find something at Home Depot, it just has to be stainless steel to work. In the future I would do bigger rod or tubing to get deeper waves in the strips to fit larger glass when I go to weave it.

@mauimis 3 года назад

WHat would you do differently to bet more space? Bigger rods or more spaced out?

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

I would get bigger rods so there is more space to stick other glass through the holes. I am getting bigger rods soon. Might use stainless tubing depending which is cheaper

@mauimis 3 года назад

@@moltenworksglassstudio Can you please let me know what you got for rods and where you got them Thanks!

@dhoneycuttable 10 месяцев назад

What size rods for the next weave?

incredible result

@kathykelly4794 3 года назад

Where did you get the stainless steel rods?

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

I purchase them from a metal supplier in Seattle called Everett Steel. They will usually cut them to length for you as well for a price. I cut my own using a rebar cutter.

@kathykelly4794 3 года назад

What diameter? I would like to try this. Thank you

@elainefuehrer5739 3 года назад

where did u get those steel rods?

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

I purchase them from a metal supplier in Seattle called Everett Steel. They will usually cut them to length for you as well for a price. I cut my own using a rebar cutter. Find a local metal supplier and give them a call

@elaineret 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing. When I try to cut strips like that, most of them break or run. Any tips?

@moltenworksglassstudio 3 года назад

Even Pressure, no stopping while running it across the glass and squeeze the runner gently. It definitely takes some practice and I have cut an insane amount of glass. But keep trying. I'm also going to add a cutting technique video as someone else was asking too.
