Tips on cutting opal circles
Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2004 1:33 pm
We (a royal we, the partner actually) are wizards at cutting round circles for plates. But we (meaning me) had a grand idea to work with opalescent BE to make some full size opal'nt plates.
My master cutter scored his circle and then turned it over (as he does with clears) to put pressure to run the cut. (He does this on a firm rug on plywood.) He saw, as you see, his problem. He couldn't see the score to put the pressure to get it running.
So. Any tips on how to cut large (8"-11") opalescent circles?
Thanks.
