[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Love your work! silly question maybe but what type of glass cutter are you using? I havent seen a hand tool like that anywhere and it looks like itd be really comfortable to use (talking about the one with the blue handle).

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I have a couple of sibersmitt oil filled models but unfortunately they stopped making them many years ago 😪😪

[@shortliner68]

That sure took a lot of repetitious cutting in making all those hexagons for the honeycomb design. But the result is absolutely Bee-utiful! The city where I was born (Baltimore) has a lot of older rowhomes, many of which have stained glass transoms over the front windows and doors. Some blocks have identical windows on all the homes with a lot of triangle and diamond shaped glass pieces. I always thought it must have been pretty tedious for the artists to cut all those identical pieces for literally hundreds of windows.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

It's the same here in the UK as alot of older houses were built at the same time it's quite common for houses in the same area to feature the same design patterns. Sometimes the same designs but in different glass colours 💛🤍🩵🧡💙❤️

Thank you

[@louiseberman4241]

I love this. Such gorgeous iridescent glass. What do you do with all the cut offs?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

❤️💙❤️💙❤️ Off cuts wise I try to reuse the smaller pieces in other projects where I can. Glass is expensive stuff!

[@louiseberman4241]

Thought it would be. I did wonder if you had ability to melt it down and make more panes 😆

[@jetjohnson1106]

Can you tell me what pliers you are using? The yellow handles ones? Love the videos!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I have a couple of pairs of Silberschnitt tungsten tipped grozing pliers but they stopped making them many years ago 😢

[@gedioruci]

Love this project. Where can I find the borders you used to put the glass in and what are they called?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I make traditional leaded light windows. You'd need to find a supplier where you could buy the traditional lead came 👍

[@gedioruci]

@@LightLeadedDesigns thank you

[@Motboys]

Just found your channel, and I’ve been binging a lot of your older videos. I was wondering how you flip the window over to solder the other side? Also I think some realtime videos of your piecing the glass and lead, as well as you soldering it together, would make for great ASMR. You don’t need to narrate or anything, just turn the camera on as you work. Best of luck!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thanks for the feedback chuck, I'll take it on board. Regarding turning over the windows it's all about trying to keep the windows straight and not letting them bend too much!

[@mafaldacomesopa8271]

Exelent...... Beautiful...

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@franksadlowski8136]

Jan, you have such beautiful talent...enjoy watching how many hours did it take to do the bee? Do you ever go Home...Really a lot of concentration there to do this work! Frank

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Haha cheers Frank, to be honest I'm sat at home by the fire right now watching a film 😂🍻

[@خالدمحمودالعكيدي-ف5ق]

Approximately how long does this work take?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I normally say a couple of weeks once the actual making process begins but that doesn't include the 26+ years practice 😂

[@Rudimentary007]

Beautiful work 💪👍💪👍🇺🇸

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you buddy ❤️🤍💙 🤜💥🤛

[@Sagita1012]

Have you ever made a stained glass window with a "Pokemon" theme? I've seen some on Pinterest (just the art, not the stained glass itself) and they look beautiful. Congratulations for your work

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you, i've made thousands and lots of very random things but never Pokemon 😂.. Feels like I'm missing out 😂🤜💥🤛

[@nancybutler9146]

The glass is perfect for the wings!! I couldn’t imagine anything better. Your bees are gorgeous. This is going to make everyone stop and stare at such a marvelous doorway. Thank you for sharing

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Aww thanks for the appreciation buddy 🤜💥🤛
