I’ve mentioned this before and I’ll say it again. I love the web site Instructables. So many how-to’s and so little time. You can find a variation on cutting glass if you search, but here’s one I’ll send you right to. Cutting glass isn’t difficult but does require some practice. They’ve got a little video here so you can see it happen in real time. So what will you make? The project at Instructables is for a simple Tiffany style lamp. Inspiration. And the demonstrator is giving good tips to get the most out of the glass. You should follow him there if you like his video.
