This is so helpful, great video! I am really intrigued by stained glass as a hobby. Probably to start, I would go with the copper foil method but I would love to be able to try the lead came. I watched videos of how stained glass windows are weather-proofed and all that cement looks so daunting! And I think you need some kind of a workshop for the lead came method? Anyways, regardless, both look so fascinating! I also live in Canada and with the kind of cold we get up here, I think weather-proofing a stained glass window will require extra steps!

Been doing SG for over thirty years; exclusively copper foil, as I can get much more intricate designs with it. Though not as sturdy as the lead came, I have done large panels with it and just sandwich it between plexiglass or glass for strength. I also have always put one end of the lead came into a vise to pull and stretch it before using to avoid any sagging in the future. I always wash each piece of glass and put it in the oven on low so that it's warm/dry before I foil it. I haven't seen copper foil actually used as accent lines though, fascinating. I usually just use a black sharpie, so thanks for that great tip! An exacto knife is your friend when trimming copper foil to equalize your lines before soldering. I do have a Taurus ring saw and it allows unlimited cut and design options. Your wolf is fantastic, I will say.

You cannot afford to work for hourly rates below $25.00/hr. Think about overhead, taxes, etc. Think about the cost of loving for your particular life stile. Take care of yourself.

A quick question, if you want to dispose of a complete stained glass piece - would you still take it to hazardous material recycling place? Because of led? Thank you!

When I used mine for the first time it was chipping my glass no matter how wet the bit was. How can I get it to work better?

Could a combination be used. For example a smaller panel with finer detail done with copper method inserted into a larger lead project?

Thank you for making these videos as they are very much appreciated. I promised my wife I would make her a stained glass window but unfortunately Liz passed away in April this year. The question I have is, can I use a small CNC to cut out the design as I cant find any Utube videos or will I have to cut the glass by hand ? It's quite a complex design that my wife made of a treble clef music sign. Thank you, please stay safe. Bill M8-) Haddington Scotland

Is what you are doing first tinning? Oh and as for cost. Around 1994 I bought a grinder, tools, glass etc. This year I opened the boxes and decided to start. I have beautiful color glass with $5 price tags. Greens, blues etc.

I like to run the pliers on the each end of the score line first just BARELY hearing the score open up, then go to middle, perfect every time. I took practice but it's honestly incredible.

You could score it beforehand with a glass cutter and then lightly tap it to break in more strategic places/without glass flying everywhere -see stained glass artists

You could make a video talking more about low budget stained glass. The minimum necessary tools to make stained glass e then make a simple stained glass with those tools
