Thanks you guys!! I always do get scared when i can't hear the score being made. It makes me push down on the cutter a little harder, but I will stop doing that now. also, is it OK to use the turtle wax paste on stained glass?

[@ARTyRV]

Good to hear from you. We hope your cutting will improve now!

[@JuliaClark-gq2gs]

Helped me to remember how to do. Lost memory after friend broke my stained glass shade

[@michaelwest1897]

Yes, you are a great teacher Ed. Many thanks for your good tips! Another great tutorial!!!

[@anthonyholland7787]

Thank you all very much for information, I did some stained glass projects a little over 30 years ago, but I will be having to renew my tools and knowledge and I have subscribed to your channel. Fantastic instructions and I am very thankful for your experience, God bless both of you Ed and Barb.

[@ARTyRV]

Thank you for watching! Let us know how it’s going and good luck!

[@deanamartin3480]

You have great information and techniques. Thank you!

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for watching!

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

Really see how experience makes this look easy. Thank you for the information.

[@ARTyRV]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@mybengalcats128]

Oh by the way I love all your videos I’ve watch many and have learned a lot

[@ARTyRV]

Great! We have love Q&A on Mondays at 7pm. Hope we see you there!

[@johnfought9248]

Thanks I didn’t know what the patina was

[@ARTyRV]

Happy to help

[@FaithSpitsbergen-wj1yx]

A huge reason I was watching was to see steps between 6 & 7. But learned a lot. A stained glass in my brothers door is broken, and one cracked. I’m trying to learn how to DIY and excited to find this channel. If you’ve already covered the information somewhere else, could you please put the link(s) in the comments? Cool tool - I know now I HAVE to remove it from the frame … yes major newbie, but know enough to learn from those whom really know. The music was nice and upbeat, thankfully I could still hear almost everything said in the videos I watched. However, in t glass cutting scene, it would have been ideal to lower the sweeting (Industry term for music used for emotional cues).

[@FaithSpitsbergen-wj1yx]

Thank You for your knowledge and obvious love of what you do. Truly appreciate you spreading your love.

[@ARTyRV]

Thank you so much for watching our video and for sending your feedback. It is an older video and since then we’ve learned a lot. We’ll be releasing a new video on Monday at 8pm Est immediately following the livestream. It’s an introduction to slag lamp and bent panel lamp repair. If that’s something you are interested in, we’ll see you there!

[@LilDirt12]

Wow. You two are awesome. Not to mention so cute. Thank you for the help. We have a Huge lamp to repair for a friend. I hope we do as beautiful of job as you. Take care.

[@ARTyRV]

Thank you and thanks watching. Good luck on the repair!

[@shelleylockteacher3821]

Great info. Great video. Would be helpful to not have constant music, especially when wanting us to listen... you really don't need the music as it is too distracting and loud..., and then to get rid of the text on middle of video when trying to show us something. Step 8 was covered by text in particular. If you could actually show us him soldering etc, would be great. Thanks.

[@ARTyRV]

Thank you for watching and commenting on one of our older videos. We’re still learning! Our newer videos are much improved. We hope you’ll watch and tune in on Monday at 7 pm EST for our Livestream Q&A, demo and Glass Chat.

[@donaldjones8920]

Enjoyed the video, thank you. Would have loved to have seen a closeup of the finished piece. The photo at the end really didn't show the finished repair work.

[@ARTyRV]

Noted!

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

I just broke my glass lamp while playing the song 'Persistent Vision' by the Dischord Records band, Rites Of Spring. My guitar headstock collided with the glass, shattering instantly.

[@ARTyRV]

Oh no!

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

@@ARTyRV :'( :')

[@sgtrock1]

Nice job describing the steps. If you're gonna go through the steps to cut then, why not show the process of actually cutting the contour of the piece you're replacing?

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for watching!

[@debramartin2428]

I watched you repairing the fruit stain glass pair. I never did stain glass I want to attempt this fix. Did you solder on top and the bottom when you were putting the pear in. You didn't really show that in the video. Thanks. I have 3 tiny pieces that broke when the lampshade fell.

[@ARTyRV]

Great question. It was tack-soldered in place first, then soldered on both sides.

[@ferrelallan9575]

I got butterfly lamp from a lady that passed away this year, that has come apart. Any good videos on theses type lights that you recamend?

[@ARTyRV]

3-D stained glass books will have guidelines for construction that may help you

[@Maria-In-Motion]

Thank you for the tutorial. May I suggest showing closer images of repair and losing the music. Also the yellow text is too large and stays on the screen for too long. We can’t see anything.

[@ARTyRV]

Yes you may because Its an old video- sorry you suffered so Lol me too! It did get 10,000 views so it does have value. Please check out our Monday live stream Q&A and our newer improved videos @artyrv. Thanks for watching!

[@robertfrazier9346]

What’s the name of the articulating arm jig? You said they were out of business. But maybe I could find one used? Thanks

[@ARTyRV]

Robert, it’s a Fred Gray stained glass products.

[@TrumpWonKBZ]

What kind of solder do you recommend

[@ARTyRV]

Good question! 60/40 for copper foil and 50/50 for lead work. As far as a brand of solder we are currently using Amerway. It’s good.

[@joemama-ex1tm]

Background music not needed when you are speaking.

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for watching!

[@bobm2331]

Pretty well done video but you skip a lot of the technical processes, inside curves, grinding and fitting into the existing lead cavity. I guess you had a reason.

[@ARTyRV]

This is an early video and definitely needs improvement. Thanks for watching and commenting. We’re live on Mondays at 7pm if you have questions!

[@thomasdonohue781]

Very informative video and I appreciate your talents. The background music does nothing for the video. It actually made it too hard to hear the glass cutting scene. Get rid of it and your videos will improve immediately.

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for the tip

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks!

[@DaveSS-xi4pn]

Loose the music!

[@ARTyRV]

Sorry about that.
