Laying Glass Pieces in Stained Glass Patterns

Video Transcript

"O.k, so we've just come from the grinder, and I had previously marked my pieces, so that I know what parts I need to discard. And, some of these, their kind of filthy right now, because it gets pretty messy over there at the grinder. When you get back to your pattern, you can just wipe it off, and because it's gotten wet your pattern number, that you've numbered it, is probably going to wipe off. Just renumber it as you get back. And, I'm going to fit this on here, I see how well my ground piece lines up with my pattern; see if I need to make any adjustments. So, I'm pretty happy with that one. There's just a few little, minor places here, I want, that I've just kind of taken note of. I want to get rid of this little bit of excess right here at the end. Make this a little more curved right there. Actually, that's a little much, just a little bit there. And, over here at this end as well. So that's about all I need to work on with that piece. I'm going to go ahead and proceed to check the rest of the pieces that I've ground, see how well they fit into my piece. And, that is probably going to be o.k. Again, on these darker colored pieces, you need to use your silver marker, when you're marking that. Check our head piece, it looks pretty good. That looks pretty nice. And, if you did get it a little bit smaller than you wanted, as long as most of the edges are going to meet, your solder will fill in the rest of those places for you. So, that's our ground pieces."
