DIY Game of Thrones Direwolf Stained Glass (PART ONE)

[@austindickersoncox7348]

I really enjoy your tutorials and I appreciate how frustrating that piece was. A lot of peoples videos downplay how much glass you could break. But you had a positive attitude about it, took a breath, and tried again. Love it! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@mariedriskell8752]

Love, love, love GOT!!!!!!!🐺! HOUSE STARK (direwolf)!! Just found this one ,love it💚

[@ShanaCali]

Best tutorial ever, and I hope you find an answer to that broken piece.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks so much! Yep I'm on it. 🤙

[@TheeBertMcGirt]

Ugh! I feel for you with that piece, man. But you have a great attitude!! And you're a wonderful teacher, even while you're still learning. I look forward to seeing you conquer this piece and for more videos in the future.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thank you so much! 🙏🤩

Hi I'm self taught stainglass for those really curve pieces I use a dremel tool . Bought it at Canadian tire. works great for the kind of cures in the game of thrones. Love your video

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Oh what kind of bit do you use? Diamond I'm guessing? I might have to check that out. Thanks!

[@GommStainedGlass]

Very Nice project! When Using Grozing Pliers, it's best to hold them with the flat jaw on top This then let's you have relief when you apply downward pressure. It's also helpful if you use two pairs, then you can apply pressure on both sides as you break. When grozing, use the jaws just opposite and you'll have better success Great instruction!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Wait I've been doing it wrong this whole time?! 😓 I remember reading or seeing it somewhere to have the curved jaw up. I'll try to flip it and see how that goes. Would having two pair possibly damage the good side of the glass? I want to get a more narrow one for precise grozing anyway so I can try the two pliers method. Thanks so much for sharing with us!! ✌️

[@GommStainedGlass]

@@StainedGlassDIY I don't know about when you are grozing, but when you're holding the glass for a break, having two pairs of pliers opposing each other doesn't hurt the glass. You did a great job in the video, trying to do that sharp curve 3 times. If you left extra glass on the top of the long piece so the radical curve had more glass on the top, it would be less likely to break that tip off. The glass wants to break in the easiest direction, so more mass on the top protects the little corner. Really a great training video!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

You mean great training for me ha!

[@dianekeilman]

You are a very good teacher. You don't rush through your projects. You explain all the steps. I have always loved stained glass. I would to get a little more confidence to try my first project. Have you done any religous stained glass projects? I am always excited for your next project. The dire wolf came out awesome! Sorry you had trouble with that one piece. I was so nervous and was rooting for you every time. Love your work.😃❤

[@toniasargisian975]

Interested to see what you do with the problem piece, I would've changed the pattern again. HAve a great weekend 😁

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Now I know the pattern should not be drawn as crazy as that piece. Good lesson 🙃

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Who's ready for Season 8!! Post your answer to my first giveaway question (in video) in the comments below [SPOILER ALERT] If you haven't seen Game of Thrones, don't browse the comments. Thanks for playing and what's your favorite HOUSE 🐺🦁🦌🐲...?

[@coby4313]

The wolf is white cause it's Jon's banner, he's a bastard so the colors on the sigil are reversed

[@Ghostwriter69]

I'm sure not everyone has a glass saw, but that would conquer that tight curve.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Yes I'd love to get one of those!

[@88mmbd]

Zach saus we're Starks, and I agree!! Though I do love me that House Tyrell!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

House Stark FTW! 🐺⚔️❤️

[@ryanleclair3999]

Great video! When using those grozier pliers I have better luck using the flat edge of the pliers on the top surface of the glass so I can just twist in a downward motion instead of pulling. Of course you'd want to have them exactly the way you do in the video if you're trying to nibble away at little bits. You also may find a standard pistol grip cutter easier to use since your hands will be less shakey. It tends to give you more control while still allowing you to see where the tip of the cutter is heading in relation to the line since you can angle it slightly horizontal.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks! You're right, the flat edge is better on top. Just learned that one. I'll have to get a hold of a pistol grip cutter to try out one day. Thank you for the great knowledge and sharing with everyone!!

[@luobret5635]

IT's too damn hard! You u the great man with patience!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

😂😂 don’t remind me

[@tjrez6786]

Hello great videos. Im new to this and I have been following your videos . I seen on this one your using a t-21 cutting tip which i think i read some where is for straight cuts. I think by using the t-10 you could avoid the breaking on the curve possibly?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks for the tip. Oh I remember it well, those cuts were tough 😅 I just found out more about those cutters and the straight tips are much bigger to keep the blade aligned as you’re cutting. Even with the pattern head I’m not looking to do those curves again!

[@Claycorp]

Bwuaha hahaha. That one part really got ya good! That is certainly an annoying cut that is best avoided. As other have said break it down into parts and it should be good to go, It also seems like you got a crappy sheet of glass. Sometimes that just happens and you got to go with it! Looking forward to the next one!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Haha I don't want to ever do that one piece again!

[@SpiffyTiffy84]

Love GOT! This piece is going to be amazing! I love me some Mother of Dragons, but at the end of the day, I'm team Onion Knight or house Mormont! Lol

[@StainedGlassDIY]

The onion knight? Ah I just found out. Ser Davos is the sh*t! Lol

[@SpiffyTiffy84]

@@StainedGlassDIY I remember reading the books and totally loving him because he always spoke his mind. Then when the show came out and it was Liam Cunningham I totally fangirled out! I especially love his interactions with Jon Snow and Tyrion!

[@polish109]

For those inner pieces that kept snapping, if you took your knife and scored the part you are trying to chip away like with cross hatch but just a bunch of tiny short cuts... wouldn’t it make it easier to chip away at? Also what if you score the opposite side of the glass as well..... I’ve never done this before these are just things that came to mind as I was watching... maybe you don’t do it because scoring can weaken the whole piece??? If those aren’t good suggestions then they’re questions please! Good luck ;)

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I think I agree with you and will try that next time! At least to score more to help assist. Maybe an expert might chime in on this one. Good thinking!

[@Gabriela-zp1kj]

I wouldn’t recommend scoring the opposite side. Not only does it weaken it more and can cause him to not have control over his glass, but it also doesn’t help with accuracy. It’s opaque glass, so it can cause him not to score it properly (score it past the line, score it too much, not in size, etc). However, your advice on the crosshatching is correct. I would advice it for those deep curves, so that when cutting with pliers he has the necessary lines to help him in a controlled space.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Excellent advice and I'll try crosshatching next time, thanks! I did get some good use of my grozing pliers on this one 😬

[@bowtiepotato554]

Wait are you located in SF?? The intro really looks like it 🙌🏻 also your channel made me sign up for a glass class and now I’m working on personal projects also ((: thank you for covering this art form!!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Yes SF! And I need to take a class as well! Where did you sign up?

[@bowtiepotato554]

I signed up at Stained Glass Garden they are out in Berkeley 🙌🏻 great shop and wonderful ladies that know their glass for sure.

This is so old, but does anyone know where I can get a pattern similar to the one he started with before he edited it? Dont see a link in the description

[@madispoldsaar]

The struggle is real :D

[@StainedGlassDIY]

😂

[@CrowShayHook]

I can’t wait to see how it turns out!! The show and this piece. XD To be real though, I’m really excited for the last season, but I’m more excited for Winds of Winter. I love the show but it doesn’t cover all the storylines I’m dying to know about. How Lady Stoneheart will play into the story, if the other Aegon will be a problem, is the gravedigger indeed the Hound and how will his and Sansa’s story play out? It’s been killing me for years. Lol.

[@CrowShayHook]

Post Scriptum - My favorite house, is house Stark! :D

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Whoa you are an uber fan of it all! Will that book ever get finished?? I must admit I haven't read the books yet but I better get on it! I can see you've been waiting for years!!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

King in the North ⚔️🐺!

[@CrowShayHook]

Stained Glass DIY I think it’s probably finished or very close to it. Now that the show is ending I think that GRRM will announce the next book within a year. It will encourage all the people that loved the show to enjoy the books. That way the adventure in Westeros isn’t over! You seem like you like to walk quite a bit, maybe try listening to the audiobooks while you walk or work on projects. :D Roy Dotrice did a fantastic job recording them. I’ve enjoyed them a lot. ^-^

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I think I'll start the books after the show. Then I can see how different it is and even get more into each character too. Yes I listen to audiobooks and podcasts everyday to and from work so it'll be perfect!! So excited!

[@carlsibley7117]

Where's the link for the design , buddy???? Can anyone help out????

[@michaelleduc6001]

To represent Ghost! John Snow’s Direwolf

[@ashleyfalcon125]

When you do those deep curves that’s when you utilize the tapping method so it breaks on the score line.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I’ve done the tapping method maybe a few times or so now but need to do like 100 more times 😬

[@laurabergeron6067]

White for Ghost?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Yes! They also switched banner colors when Jon took over Winterfell.

[@polish109]

Its white with red eyes because you’re making Ghost! Jon’s dyer wolf

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Yes! Ghost is the best! 🐺

[@SpiffyTiffy84]

Also not positive but isn't the white wolf banner or the "not official" banner for the Snow bastards, i.e. Jon Snow. His last name is snow like the white wolf because it is a house in the north and they can't officially take the last name or carry the banner?? Maybe, lol

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Yep that's it! You are obviously a true fan so DM me your info and I'll send you the glass cutter! IG or email is good. ✌️

Hello, such an apology you have no template for this stained glass

[@sladewalters]

[@ShanaCali]

I am house targaryen. The second question, I don't know why it's white?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Can't wait to see how Daenerys' part plays out in all this! The banner got changed when Jon Snow became King in the North to switch the banner for bastard status.

[@ShanaCali]

I have to wait till the Netflix dvd's are released. Driving me bonkers not watching the last season.... I was shocked to see that Jon was the nephew to the Stark family.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

@@ShanaCali Ah no, you gotta get HBO!

[@mvorn44]

Use the top of your cutter to tap the glass at your score line. It will break cleanly 90% of time. Runners aren't the best tool for every cut.

[@janelane2657]

9:08 , 11:44 you will not be able to make such concave shapes with nippers, this does not correspond to the execution technology. the glass will always break off. moreover, you did it without preliminary cutting. such places need to be ground on a grinding machine, or the shape must be divided into two parts with an additional line. there is another way - to cut successively arcs, approaching the shape, but the risk of breaking is still very high.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks that was a big lesson learned
