Oh wow! Love this! Thanks so much for sharing! Especially talking through your process.

[@ARTyRV]

Glad you liked it and thank you for watching!

I hope you show the painting of the wren and heron!!! Great tutorial on cutting on the light box. Those bumps give texture and life to your piece.

[@ARTyRV]

Yes we will be showing that.

[@caroltillietmo6889]

Beautiful!

[@curvesahead4u]

Love love love your videos. Thank you for working so hard for us all!!! I would like some advice. I am looking into buying a light box...not nearly as big as yours. I am somewhat of a beginner and don't take on such large projects...yet! So, I am wondering if you have or know of a particular company that produces a quality product, yet doesn't cost both my arm and my leg. Thanks!!!

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for watching. Yes we’ll post here.

I'm just starting out making a stained glass project. I love your light box - hoping I can find one that is a good size. Any recommendations?

[@ARTyRV]

Hey, make it yourself using led lights and make u use tempered safety glass. Thank you for watching.

Excellent tutorial series you have going here. I'm just about to start my first window and am happy I've found you to sub too. One question I have is how you treat the glass where you have the thicker lines? Does all lead came have the same size heart to it? Do you keep to the very inside of all the lines regardless of how thick the pattern line is? Is there lead with thicker hearts you use with the much thicker pattern lines? Sorry if you have covered this in the video, or another video all together, and I missed it.

@@ARTyRV I live in South Australia, I will definitely be watching the recording! Thanks heaps for getting back to me.

my cutter doesnt make that sound,it is scoring but very quiet which makes me feel like i haven't scored it right , can you plz adv as to why its so quiet and am i doing something wrong, i do not put oil in my cutter btw but i do keep it in a jar when im not using it and it is not leaving oil streaks on my glass. thank you for what you do i have learned so much because of you both.

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for watching. The sound of your cutter tells you the density of the glass. Keep the same pressure throughout your cut. Thanks for watching!

Can a maple leaf be cut as a single piece?

[@MICHELLEEVANS33]

If your doing copper foil along with lead inside the window do you lead the foiled pieces? And what about the putty and the foiled pieces?

Do you use a ring saw whenever you're cutting?

[@ARTyRV]

We don’t use a ring saw.

[@frostyminded]

@ARTyRV may I ask why? New follower and just curious, thanks!

[@ARTyRV]

We don’t need one.

[@frostyminded]

@@ARTyRV got it, good for you

[@caroltillietmo6889]

I meant to ask, do you ever use cutting oil?

[@ARTyRV]

Yes just a little bit.

[@glasgowbeck]

What was your project for the scraps? I'm starting to accumulate a few jars of tiny bits

[@ARTyRV]

We are going to make birds and tree/leaves

[@CUPCAKEQUEEN71]

I am going to make a light table. Any tips?

[@ARTyRV]

Buy your lights first.

[@erosario64]

I recently retired and would love to get into the art of leaded windows but I’m held back by the cost of the glass. Any tips on how to obtain cheap glass?

[@ARTyRV]

Not sure I can help with that. We can talk about that on the live stream if you would like.

[@tanyamarsh4392]

You could periodically check Facebook Marketplace or other online resources like Craigslist for folks who are selling their stained glass supplies and glass - cheap. Here in NC I’ve seen several businesses and home SG enthusiasts unload their entire stock of glass, tools & supplies.

[@ARTyRV]

Thank you for the info! Great idea!

[@ulasalinas]

where do you get the light table?

[@ARTyRV]

We built the light box.

[@katiebugatl]

@@ARTyRV what type of glass did you use?

[@Athena-999]

​@@katiebugatlProbably acrylic

[@johnrobertd748]

How thick is the glass on your light box?

[@ARTyRV]

1/4” tempered

[@janzbedny5921]

I do not understand why professional people have number their pieces You are professional man You know which piece goes where

[@ARTyRV]

When there are over 3000 pieces they have to be numbered. Otherwise it would take forever to assemble. Thanks for watching!
