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 liked this hour and a half. I got all my small pieces cut for some Christmas ornaments. Ontario

We watched till the end 🎉

bro using a water jet cutter

Where have you been?😮

I feel you but we all are constantly learing

Love it! Beautiful work - your attention to detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing the full process too. You've inspired me, but I might start with the Seed of Life instead - fewer pieces!

Cheaper than china

Thank you bro i learnt more lesson from you keep going up

❤️✨🏴‍☠️

Is there any solder that doesn't have any lead?

Brilliant and generous sharing of your experience. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for making this video! I've always wanted to try making glass, but won't spend a lot of money on tools until I know it's something I want to stay with or not.

Just found the channel. Thank you for your time.

Awesome video thank you ❤🎉❤

Can you use a H came to join the panels of a 6 sided lamp shade? I used copper foil for the design but want to join wirh came i think ... not sure? Im wondering if it will be stronger? Its very heavy😅

Can you recommend where I can find high-quality stained glass pieces for my project?

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.

😂 OH my goodness. You had me rolling on cutting these curves. 😅I'm new to glass too. I'm there with you buddy. I love your videos.

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?
