Things to consider before starting stained glass

[@VideoGameGlass]

Another good thing to add is that if you are worried about cost, buying used equipment and supplies is definitely cheaper. Any stained glass artist knows that taking care of their equipment is a must. You don't really have to worry about buying used equipment for stained glass like you would for other things. It is also a great way to see if stained glass is for you without burning a hole in your pocket. You can find some really great deals on stained glass supplies from people who are looking to get rid of their stuff.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Certainly! Used items are just as good and a great way to get into this craft. Thanks!

Very informative and coolest video I've seen in a long time! Love that your mixing a little tour with the info instead of sitting in a room

[@johnnieblackburn3182]

I took a 5 night adult school course many years ago. I think I paid about $70 for the initial supplies. As I began my first project, I had trouble with the pieces being cut properly. My husband, who was a mold maker and engineer told me if I was serious, I had to invest in professional, quality tools. He took me to a stain glass shop and bought me a top of the line glass cutter. From that point, the work was considerably easier. My first project was a small window frame of a hummingbird and flowers. The teacher told me not to bother cutting glass for the hummingbird's eye. "Just put a dab of solder in that spot", she said. When my project was finished, she looked at it, and seeing I had cut a tiny piece of glass for the eye, she said, "You brat. You did it anyway." She smiled and congratulated me on my finished piece. It was a fun hobby to take up. I immediately took another short course at the glass shop near my home.

Stay warm my friend. Im getting into stained glass and your channel is the best for people starting out. I just ordered my kit . We'll see how it goes !!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

😂 Good luck and enjoy the process!

Love the walk through the cemetery I am a retired mortician looking into getting into stained glass. Really enjoy the videos. The more I watch The more I’m wanting to get started….

[@AngieMac333]

Hey....So, I just paused your video to tell you that I'm so thankful I found you. While I obviously appreciate your talent and willingness to share, I wanted to also say that you are ridiculously likeable! So, thanks. Keep doing you. You do it very well. :)

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks so much! ❤️

I think I should start my own DIY channel… It must be nice to act like you didn’t just get hit on! 🤣

[@saltlifegull4091]

I'm so hooked on your videos and feel like you're speaking directly to me. You're a great teacher, easy to follow, understandable and hit on all the right subjects. I LOVE graveyards as well, lol. I get it! Keep up the good work and truly value your advice, talent, and instruction. Friend from Florida USA

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thank you for your kind words 😍

[@lmhottin]

I just discovered your channel and love it. I had taken classes more than 10years ago and enjoyed it. Have done all sorts of pieces large and small. Al in copper foil. I left it some years ago and needed a video refresher. Your videos are just what I was looking for and have been so helpful. Thank you!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

You're welcome! And welcome back! 🤩

[@nicolecoleman7528]

Working with stained glass has been a dream of mine for so many years. Thank you for posting this and breaking it down a bit. You are a cutie too!

[@themaywitch7022]

I'm brand new to stained glass and starting out from scratch. I've been watching a ton a tutorials and I'm at the point I want to start getting my kit together. Most of the info I'm finding regarding types or brands of soldering irons is geared towards soldering for electronics and not stained glass. I was wondering, when you do your equipment video if you could get specific about brands and features the soldering iron and other tools need to have for stained glass specifically? Thanks for your vids!!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I'll make an updated video with the breakdown but here's an older video with all the things you need to start. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eam2iGlrf8Rgrq8

[@carl2017]

Browsing and came across you. Great work and very interesting to watch.

[@carmen5ive]

I’m taking my second stained glass class tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it as I had always wanted to try it and was definitely hooked after the first class. Loved it so much I booked a private class for my sister and me. I know there’s a place in town that rents out the glass grinder. I’m thinking about doing that before I consider buying my own. The only thing holding me back right now is I’m already into quite a bit of expensive crafts/hobbies. My brain keeps going back and forth. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@StainedGlassDIY]

How exciting! I have one place in mind so will see about scheduling 😁. Have you looked for a used grinder? I'm pretty sure you'll find it super useful and will end up getting your own eventually 😉

[@carmen5ive]

Stained Glass DIY Hmm I’ve never thought to look at a used now. Gonna go do that now! 🙂

This is super helpful! I’m considering getting into stained glass, just to do very simply projects, but I live in an apartment and don’t have access to a garage workspace. Is this something that can be done indoors at a hobby desk? Thanks ☺️

[@dracosummoner]

Super useful and to-the-point video, thank you! Happy new year!

[@kittychat2305]

brand new as well. Didn’t know about kits so I started buying things piece by piece. Finally got my Inland CG(thank you for the discount code) but still waiting on my soldering iron and other stuff.

Hello! I am really looking to start getting into stained glass. I am a little over whelmed with that tools to start out with? I see there are kits online etc. but I am trying to watch videos and see but there's a ton of options out there!

I totally love the place, I remember when I visited Kyoto a few years ago and discovered a cemetary very similar to this one... Such mysterious and mesmerizing vibes✨ thanks for the video, I am very curious about stained glass and your great content actually might help me find the motivation to start learning this stuff !

Hi, I found your channel after seeing photos of someone that made stained glass succulents and trying to find DIY tutorials. They looked amazing! What would you say the difficulty level of those would be? Have you ever made one? There aren’t really many tutorials for these things online.

[@martinforde8605]

Where is that background structure located? Great vid🎬

[@StainedGlassDIY]

That was at Gotokuji Temple, Tokyo

[@mrwha4738]

Do put the piece together as a whole and then just run the flux over the copper or do you have to do both side of the piece with the flux ??

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Both sides need flux and solder to complete the project. And edges of the glass too.

[@steveNCB7754]

Very cool (literally!). Just a thought, that cemetery would make a good source of inspiration for a stained glass picture (lots of vertical and horizontal cuts). ;-)

[@tiffanytracy710]

Thank you so much for your insight and all the great information you put in your videos….also, I AbSOULutely love spending time in cemeteries 😍

[@hj6507]

So i have been wanting to start stained glass since last summer but I never really looked into it much other than where to source glass locally. Finally decided to start looking into it and type stained glass into KZbin and this video comes up posted one day ago! Lol well I instantly subscribed. I hope I can get my hands on some supplies soon. Please let us know what class you take, if it's local or online. Maybe you could do your own course on skillshare one day? Stay blessed xo

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Perfect timing! Yes I'll update on what course I take and share the info. It'll be a local class so hopefully they let me film there too.

[@mrwha4738]

Hi, I need your help plz What do you do with the scrap bits and shards??

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Discard if they are too small to keep. You can also keep them in a container and use or sell for frit or fusing projects.

I apologize if this is a dumb question but do I need to possess drawing skills to get into stained glass? Thank you!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

No not at all. There are plenty of free patterns online but you can also draw simple patterns yourself and glass just makes it all look great!

[@Omophagy666]

If I live in a complex with others and share a wall with a neighbor, would the loudness of the grinding machine be too much you think? Do you need a secluded space to make noise or is it not too bad?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I used mine during the day and minimally at night. If it's a bigger session then they will probably get annoyed like hearing a blender run for too long.

[@elvirahitchcock4054]

[@quocta1978]

Do you ever use foil or lead scissors to cut your patterns. I’ve gotten back into glass the last couple years as a hobby and am doing mostly foil work like you but I’m getting into lead came for large pieces, but I’m not sure whether I should use the scissors

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I haven't actually but I just make sure to cut my glass slightly smaller if fitting becomes an issue. I would imagine you would have to pay more attention with a more complicated piece.
