Glass Engraving

2001/09/08
I made the "cactus bowl" in the whiskey empty bottle.
It classifies Glass Engraving by the method.
It seems that it separates into six kinds of Diamond point engraving, Gravure, Wheel engraving, Cutting, Sand blast, Etching.


I introduce the method of construction which installs Diamond bit in the small trimmer and damages the surface of glass.
It pictures a cutting-off line almost by the oily pen at glass.
When installing a hinge, let's score a perforator position, too.
The first preparation.
The glass bottle prepares entering Torreys and pours the degree water that the surface of the bottle is flooded.


Next, it sinks a bottle to water and it vacates a hole of the installation of the hinge and a hole in the bit insertion position, too.
At this time, it uses the diamond bit of the circle.
It is to prevent generation of heat's damaging that it cuts in water.
If the hole is vacant, replace with the column -shaped bit and let's advance in the cutting according to the line.
It hits a bit, being always perpendicular to the bottle.
It is important to cut a bit while moving to the top and the bottom, being small and to advance.
Also, be careful because the flaw is left and it isn't possible to be corrected behind by it when the bit hits a glass surface.


Install a hinge if finishing cutting.
The bottle breaks when tightening up a screw firmly.
Therefore, let's insert a rubber board in the hinge.
I'm delightful was cutting glass.
