List for the Home Studio
First, a few hints....
|
- Glass Cutters
---Dont skimp here - this is a most important tool. Pick one that you feel
comfortable with and you will make the best cuts possible.
- Grozier ---Not an
expensive tool, but great for holding, breaking and shaping pieces
- Breaker/Runner---This
tool will allow a cleaner break than tapping the glass.
Tapping glass can create problems that may surprise you later...
- Grinder ---We carry
Glastar and Inland brands. Well order other brands, if you desire. They all come
with at least one diamond bit grinder head. Set your own budget here.
- Workboard Try
Glass Concepts' 24" x 24" plywood work board with a right angle lip. Youll
build a square project every time!
- Morton Cutting/Drawing
Board --- Excellent surface for cutting glass, even if you have to work on your dining
room table. The other side is smooth and ideal for a designing board.
- Soldering Iron ---A
necessary tool, so pick your favorite.
- Safety Glasses
---An important, necessary item to wear all the time while working on your
projects.
