What gauge wire are you using for hinge?

I don't like to argue with an expert, but in my experience when tracing, the first thing you do is mark your corners - even if the tracing paper is taped in place while you work. Then if you need to put the tracing back on the reference picture, you can line it up correctly.

Such good info and easy watch and listen to! Glad I found you!

What product do you use to wax the solder lines after applying the patina?

Today I asked ChatGPT to describe the process for framing a small stained glass window with u-came so that I can finally finish an overdue Christmas gift for my brother. I have only framed one window decades ago (in my high school stained glass class) and needed a refresher on the process. Serendipitously - it linked me out to this video, and I instantly recognized the flower! It’s been a long time, but I still recall many of your lessons and am pleased to have stumbled on this one again 😊 Hope you two are doing well! - Collins

I love you, your art work and most of all your general point of view. All new to stain glass and you have made my life so much easier. Thank you

Awesome video I love the detailed notes on how too !!!

🙌💓

I use a wet pencil eraser to remove silver sharpie.

Ty girll!

these tips are so incredibly helpful!!

Such a helpful video! Thank you.

I'm so impatient! That's my problem. I feel like I need to complete an entire piece in one sitting. I'm just beginning. I've made less than 10 pieces and expect to be an expert. That's on me.

So very well done, and very informative, thanks. I’ve watched a lot of your videos, and shame that comments were not allowed on some of them.

I remember watching this at one time. When i needed the info, i tried other videos and searched books! This is absolutely the best hinge video. Thank you! I always seem to come back to you, my favorite teacher 😊

Thank you so much!! So excited to try this!!!!!

Thank you 😊

So very helpful! Thank you.

Can you please make video on how to clean stained glass project after it’s done

Oh gosh I love you!!! You fixed my problems and just let me say there a tons of how to videos and not many that address fixing problems thank you so much! I’m having foil lifts my iron heat is good and I am careful with keeping hands clean. I’m kinda a perfectionist can over burnishing cause foil lift cos I’m sure I do that

SO helpful. Thank you!! Been toying around with brass + copper and was having trouble bonding them together. 1st attempt failed and after watching this I think it's a success!

thank you for this video! I just baught yesterday some hit gun burner, my first thought was I should use tin for connections.. however I ended up trying just to heat up 2 pieces of metal wires close to each other and wondering why they wont "stick" 😅 regular metal wires from hardware stores works with tin or that other soldering wire you are melting for connections?

Very good Video. Thank you. A Greet from Germany.😺

J'aimerais tellement en français !

would it be better to solder the reverse side of the panel first, then just solder the front side after that?

why you do not use hARD FOAM GUABARY

How can you put stain glass in an aluminum frame?

Thankyou yr knowledge is so helpful 😊

Id love to be able to do that but dont have a jewellers torch it looks cool tho 😊

I agree wuth other comments this is the best ive seen on how to do a hinge, Thankyou so much, this looks very medieval and can i ask what the glass is that was used on the top its very silvery, i love it 😊

Hi, what if you just wanted a turtle sun catcher how could you reinforce where the legs meet the body, coukd you foil the pieces separately as normal & then put anoverlay of foil from the edge of body & wrap it around the legs to create a reinforced edge ?

Thankyou for sharing i love a finished edge, do you have any tips on soldering wire onto the edges so they look good & dont rip the foil with solder off if they get moved like, i was making achicken with little wire legs & crest then some started to lift 😊 am i doing something wrong ?

Where can I buy a good copper wire

This music makes me insane But thanks for the tutorial!❤

Your tutorials are the BEST, by far on the internet. Thank you!

you just showed all my mistakes I was so flustered at my piece I took it apart 3times and ended with a mess

Thank you so much for your video. I am new to soldering and have all, ha, of the problems that you covered. I’m praying that I didn’t go over my seams so much that the backing of my foil has come through because I have gone over my seams MANY times in an effort to fix my problems. You have helped tremendously.

Good evening, congratulations on your work, kindly, what kind of solder do you use to solder the copper, I want to do some test Cuban currents using the copper, I soldered with a silfoscoper, but when it comes to twisting, even though I annealed the copper, it breaks in the solder, can you help me? thank you very much

Don’t you have to re-flux the solder when you go back in to correct it? Or no?

Thank you madam for your useful video🎉 if the video had subtitle for none natives that dont understand some words it would be better🎉

Thank you

bravo! I love how you explained the why aspect of making your own pattern. Clear for beginner to aspire to do more. Thank you

Do you have to remove the entire window for one small piece? That seems like it would be a bit extreme and/or more expensive and labor intensive. Especially if it’s a large window.

Some great tips. Thank you.

I had an old timer teach me that black patina can be taken way back with 0000 steel wool, and that it won't damage the glass. It has to be 4-ought steel wool though!

So cool!

Where do you get your came supplies?

Trying to help my friend find videos to help her make her Rapunzel crown- definitely sending this to her!

This is the best hinge video I've seen on KZbin!! Thank you!!

Cool video , love the music lol
