Templates
#82
I have been buying the plastic templates, but you all have given me a new idea. I do stain glass art and I don't see why I can't cut the glass to the shape I need and grind it smooth on the edges on my glass grinder. I will have to give it a try and see how it works. Just would have to be careful and not drop them on cement floors.

I have heard that you can use old x-rays. If you put them into some bleach, the images disappear and then you can draw your designs on and carefully cut them out. I haven't personally tried this, but I would be most interested hearing from anyone who has.
Good luck with it.

I cut my own using a band saw and plexiglass. Have to go slow to keep it from melting together and break the sledge off the edges and sandpaper a little to smooth the edges but they last forever.
