Beautiful work. I just came across your videos. I appreciate that you didn’t add background music. I love the quiet. The child’s voice added a little ray of sunshine.

Thanks for the feedback Suzanne ♥️💜♥️

Es todo un arte! Bellísimo!!!😮

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thanks for watching 📺 💛🩷

[@MVsFavorites]

I would love to see you do a short on how you manage to cut angled came so easily without crushing it. Is young no life super sharp? Are you super strong? Is it a particular composition of came?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

It's just standard lead came and a very sharp Don Carlos lead knife 💪

[@NurturedCamerawork]

Thank you for all the great and informative videos! What thickness does the glass you're using have? And do you have any tip on where to buy glass? Cheers!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

The glass is all around 3mm thick, I mostly buy from Pearsons Glass in Liverpool but it's always best trying to find somewhere near to where you live. Cheers for watching 💙💚

What kind of glass are you using? Who makes it?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Most of this glass is 3mm art glass made by Wissmach 👍

What size lead are you using?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

In this one 1/4 round in the main design and 1/2 flat on the outer edge 🫶

[@kimberlymacdonald5909]

How do you keep from cutting up your fingers?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

The glass does have a sharp edge but if you handle it correctly for example don't slide your fingers along it then it's quite safe 👌

[@kimberlymacdonald5909]

@@LightLeadedDesigns Maybe I'm just a soft fingered klutz...wouldn't give it up for anything, though.

I know you’re busy and hate to bother you. You sent me the name of the grozing pliers you use but can’t find them anywhere. If you have a free minute, could you please send me a link to where you purchased them from. I live in the USA and might not be for sale here. Thank you for all your videos and have learned so much from watching you. Have a blessed New Years🙏🏻

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Hi Jason I've had mine for over 20 years now. I've not seen them for sale for many years now but if you come across somewhere that has them do let me know 🤜🔥🤛

Que maravilla de trabajo. Me encantaría tener ese patrón para hacer un bloque de patchwork.

If you can get permission, please let us know where this is installed. I would love to go see it on a historical building in Boston.

I'd love to know, if they let me know I'll share the info 🫶🤞

Привет. Прямо руки чешутся попробовать. Этому можно посвятить жизнь.С Рождеством. Проясните несколько моментов. Свинцовый профиль фабричный или , как в старину сами льёте? Эскизы сами делаете или есть дизайнер? После пайки затираете для цементации , чтобы не болтался витраж, какая то паста на основе цемента?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I buy the lead came from the stained glass suppliers buddy. I make all the templates myself, made to the exact sizes required. The cementing process is discribed in pretty much each an every video I post on KZbin 🍻🫶

[@brendabelcher3197]

Fascinating!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you 🍻

[@nancyashton3570]

Have you ever considered selling your patterns? (I hope this is not a rude question, but I love some of them).

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I've thought about it but I'm always so busy and the templates take ages to make 😂

[@nancyashton3570]

Please give us a "shout" if you choose to sell any in the future! They are all so beautiful!

[@nancyashton3570]

2nd question: Is the black stove polish a liquid or do you add something to it. The lead is so beautiful.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

You can use it neat but I add a little white spirit 🫶🫶

How thick is the glass you're using?

It's all around 3mm thick 🍻

Beautiful! I just signed up for a stained glass class. I think this is why your video popped up for me. So looking forward to it!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

It's an addictive craft, good luck with the class, let us know how you get on 💛💜♥️

🤩😎 Stunning windows. Exquisite work. Jan, what made you go into working with stained glass?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thanks for watching buddy, I studied under my dad when I left school and then worked for other companies before setting up on my own, best thing I ever did 🫶

[@shortliner68]

Sure hope your beautiful windows get to Boston without being damaged in transit. I can see it takes a bit of forethought as to how best to lay out the lead came pieces.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Haha I was worried about that too but they have assured me they've shipped delicate items like this many times before 🤞😂

[@bernadettemccarthy9631]

Thanks Jan for sharing. Your talents are amazing! Truly love watching these

[@sonicstove]

Your cutting always looks so clean. I do copper foil work and was wondering if you do any grinding?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I maybe grind 5% of the work.. Less grinding means a more productive day 😁

[@anacanamero9513]

🙏👏👏👏

[@willagrant7403]

Thanks for sharing the longer version. Before I had an accident & broke my arm really badly I used to make stained glass designs. Just watching you break glass makes me happy!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I think I'm going to put a bit more glass cutting in the next videos and see if people like that. Cheers for commenting buddy 👍

Great video! I live watching your work! Have you ever thought of selling your patterns? I love this one.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

To be honest most of my tools are 20+ years old now and aren't available to buy anymore! Sad times 😭😂

[@fredo3161]

Beautiful work. Do you even have to bother with grinding the glass edges before sliding the pieces in?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you buddy, I grind around maybe 5% of the glass cutting. Saves more time being accurate 🫶

[@fredo3161]

@@LightLeadedDesigns Cool. Yeah not having to grind, foil, burnish, flux, and solder all over Im sure saves a boat load of time. Thanks for sharing the info.
