I’ve just started and this sounds like me all day today 😂😂😢

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

Great job!!!love your videos! Love the lead work!!

Really lovely

Fab artists rule

great experience for you sir ... cost for machine time ... even if you own the machines and they are paid for ... would be helpful to you and other people as well

Greetings from Greece!

Outstanding. I believe I would put it in a frame with a glass backing to help protect the beautiful work. The tips look very fragile.

Oklahoma.

Loved seeing everything.😅

So are you saying to use acid core solder like plumbers use?

If you charged like this as bisiness you would be on medicaid insurance, food stamps within 60 days

hi from Israel, love your work

Good lord that Hakko Fan is Noisy 4:45 😯 I'd rather breath the fumes

very interesting. You can also mix the 2 techniques.

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

Thanks, I’m a beginner in glass and I wasn’t sure about the preference between copper foiling and lead camping. I’ve done both methods. I love your videos! You have lots of great information. 🫶

I was looking to buy my wife a glass grinder for her birthday, as she has recently taken a class on stained glass and has already bought most of the equipment and made several small butterflies. I was looking on Amazon but after watching this video I went directly to Inland Craft and bought her a WizCG. Thank you for sharing your expertice and of course, for the $15 off :)

I would like to learn to do this and do it in my retirement because i won't care as much about the money.

I agree that it doesn't seem like you made a fair labor price ..... BUT you need to also calculate back in the value you gained in experience and the advertising you might get from this piece hanging in a public space. I'm in the process of starting my shop and at this point I figure if I can triple the cost to make my pieces allowing me to utilize that money to build my stock of glass and supplies, the profits will come around.

Fantastic video and work! what thickness of line did you use on your drawing - thank you

Do you have to stretch zinc came? ..or just lead. Thanks

Isnt lead toxic

Congratulations you did it. Its beautiful !!!

That definitely took some courage ! Bravo!! I am sure it was beautiful when completed. Will look for the other finished video. Laughing at how you say what we are all saying when things go sideways, haaaaaa

How much does this machine cost and are there any in Dubai?

It's so good to hear your story. Here's mine. I am 78, a baker by trade in Canada even today. As a young boy in India I was always fascinated with the colored glass in churches. Moved to Canada in 1990. One day in 2001 my wife mentioned that she wanted me to make a stained glass clock as a gift. So began my journey, totally raw and clueless. Every person in this craft laughed at me and told me how over ambitious (and foolish) I was. But then by sheer chance I met Naomi Chapman who did equestrian stained glass. She loaned me books and gave me the glass. I bought the other odds and ends. I had two months to learn the basics and Naomi was the greatest mentor I ever had. God Bless you, Naomi Chapman. I got a ring saw in 2005. Around 2010 I had to stop my glass work to look after my wife and our parents. Between 2021 and this year they passed away. I now live in a small apartment and hope to gradually get back where I left off. Any advice from any of you viewers would be greatly appreciated. By the way, to all of you in the stained glass craft a big God Bless 🙏🙏

I've been using a 2 part cement (putty) that can be purchased at most stained glass retail outlets. It is a powder and liquid that you mix in the amount that you need. I apprenticed at a very old studio in Ohio, and we made our own using Putty, linseed oil, lamp black and elbow grease, but these 2 part compounds are so easy to mix and easy to apply plus you do not waste any. Get a bag of whiting (powdered limestone) to do clean up and it does an excellent job and very much water proofs the window.

How difficult would be to replace a piece of glass that is cracked? Is this fix possible?

very cool video, anybody can do stained glass, you don't have to have a huge budget right.

I'm glad to see that you're back! Looking forward to catching up with your videos!

Is that pic your newest project? Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Do you reuse your application brushes? I am assuming you do, but if so, do you clean them after each use or do you not need to do that?

Really like the addition of the overhead view. Doing the tinning on the pieces before putting together is a great idea as well…definitely makes things easier.

I would definitely time the making f the pattern and picking out the color scheme. It all goes in with the making of the piece.

I would just do things as you normally do…seems like you are thinking more about how fast to get it done. People that pay for hand made things should know that it takes time and time does equal money. When you make things to sell it’s not as enjoyable as doing it as a hobby. I use to bake a lot and then I started selling my baked goods and it became more of a job than an enjoyable hobby. I really enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot about stained glass…it is my newest hobby and I really enjoy it.

Is any specific thikness is essential for mosaic or glads work

Thank you so much for this video! I've been following your tips and am now successfully digitizing my patterns. There is one issue I'm unable to iron out though. When I try to print my larger patterns by saving a copy as a PDF (printing to actual size using the poster option), my line width changes. I set my line width in Inkscape, and set it so that the line will not expand when I scale the drawing up. Is there a way to lock the line width so that regardless of the size I'm printing my image, it stays the same thickness? Am I missing something, or is it just not possible to do this? Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

Great idea…I’m a beginner and this looks a like a great little project for gifts

This is old but it is also worth noting that you do need to account for waste (like the damaged pieces). I would always include 10-15 % material waste cost for these purposes.

I am wanting to know what the mm means on cutting wheels some say 6-12 mm head but I don’t know what that means

Stained glass heart

👍

More knowledge for me👍

Need I ask why a cemetery? I'm distracted now

Can you get lead poisoning from doing lead and glass

Unfortunately the cheapest Inland grinder is now 180 before the discount.... so it's definitely not in my budget currently, so thankyou for reviewing an alternative

I think you should be able to sell this for $200 - $225. It looks great. I just recently undersold a piece that I made and it was really depressing. So don’t undersell yourself!

Good video and explanation of costs. I think most times we make things we don't really have a good breakdown in our heads, just a rough estimate. Initially $200 seemed high but when you understand the time, materials and process, it seems reasonable. I don't have a good suggestion on price, I think it could also depend on the customer who is buying but am very interested to see what you will get for it. Good luck! I have seen stuff sell for cheaper but a lot less quality, you really do put the time in to make it close to perfect.
