"Hi, this is Cheryl from Expert Village and I'm going to be teaching you make fused glass jewelry today. So, check it out. Alrighty, here we go. We have our two pieces of glass and we're about to grind here on this glass grinder. First, I'm going to explain real fast how this goes. I put it in a fish tank because its an old fish tank actually. All the glass flies everywhere and water goes like everywhere. So, keep it in the container, keep it controlled, and you’re good to go. Speaking of which, any time you cut out glass, you’re always supposed to wear goggles, but for my sake, they're right there for now. Just pretend I'm wearing them. Of course, this glass grinder, you always have to keep water in it because if you don't put water in it you’re going to break your glass and ruin it and it's going to be just a big mess. You don't want that and you need to use a sponge in the background. This is just one of those little sea sponges. Stick it in there. What you do now is you just turn it on and you make sure that you make this a perfect circle. "
