Round Project

by Copper
(Houston, Texas)

I am going to attempt a 10 inch round design to place in a half round wrought Iron holder. I am now asking myself a few questions. How do you make a Jig to hold the pieces while you are assembling? and How should I finish off the outside edge?

Answer

One way you can make a jig is to hammer small finishing nails every 1/2 inch around the pattern.

You can also make a jig with 1/4" or 3/8" plywood by cutting a 10" circle out of the middle.

I would just bead solder the edge of the circle.
If you want to get a bit more fancy you could use decorative soldering, twisted wire or ball chain on 1/2 of the edge (the part that won't be inside the frame).

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry

I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie

Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet

I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna
