Tools that I use

A friend asked me what tools I used so I thought I should post this up as well.

I use a Minicraft rotary tool. This is a multipurpose tool that can be used as a drill or rotary saw for hobby projects



Next these are the grinding bits (left 2) and diamond bits (right 2)



I use the grinding bits for removing large areas while the diamond bits are for finer work like lines or touching up.

Other equiptment that might be necessary are what you can usually find at home. A damp cloth to wipe away the generated dust. A non permanent ink marker to draw the design onto the glass. Cotton wool to stuff my ears with as the noise might get irritating and loud. A glass cleaning solution to clean the finished product.

You will also need a mask. I use a surgical mask that can be bought from your local drugstore. This is to protect myself from inhaling any glass dust. The other protection that you might need is protective goggles. However if you are wearing glasses, you can skip these, but if you work on a large project, please do protect yourselves.

Always always remember to clean up after you work and work in a well ventilated area with good lighting.
