Using
a Lazy Susan to make the score
Deep
inside cuts can be assisted by using a Lazy Susan — a turntable affair, similar to a cake decorating turntable.
The
first question you have to ask yourself is whether you
should make such deep inside cuts or redesign the piece
to avoid creating such fragile shapes.
Okay,
you have decided to go ahead with your plan in spite
of good advice. Put your cartoon onto the turntable
and the glass over it. If the glass is too dark or opalescent,
make a template. Adjust the starting point, put one
hand on the glass and cartoon, and turn the glass instead
of yourself to get round the score with ease.
You
still have the task of breaking out the glass from the
score line. This is the subject of another tip.
