You can basically "weave glass" with any size solid rod, I use 9mm or 7mm. Kinda pulling the glass, turning the rod at 90 degrees and laying it back down one loop on top of the other, somewhat like decorating the edge of a cake, its all angles, while the left hand turns the piece.

I was going to do a vid in the tech section, but don't think theirs much interest on that technique, I rarely use it anymore myself, but it has endless possibilities as what you can make with it.
