It always surprises me when I work out what was used on this sort of design. Thanks for appreciating the numbers 😂🤓🫶

[@mcloonemusic]

I’d love to see your process of measuring the doors and planning designs!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

To be honest it's not very interesting as it's mostly thinking time 😂 I'm not sure if it would make a very interesting video 😂🍻

[@EmilyGvino]

I would love to see this too! Particularly how you attach the panel to the door!

Wow....that was some intricate lead work around all those smaller pieces. It's easy to see how the cost of materials adds up in one of these larger window panels.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Definitely keeps me busy 🫶 cheers for watching 🫶

This is beautiful and what a skilled artist you are. What do you do with the waste glass? Does it go for recycling? ❤

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I always try to reuse the smaller pieces as glass is super expensive 🧡🤍🩷

[@okankaplan9179]

Hello, I enjoy watching your videos, they look very nice. One thing I'm wondering is, when you finish, what do you apply before painting?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I think you must mean the 'lead light cement' 💛🍻

[@speedmom1702]

Happy belated birthday!! 🎉🎁🥮 I hope it was a good one! I love the curly q's and heart in the middle of the panel. That's a little different. That and the olive glass. It looks like it's much easier to break the glass along the score line with those more needle nose groziers than the wider ones most people use.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

You can grind down a pair of wider grozing pliers? Would that work?

[@speedmom1702]

@@LightLeadedDesigns 😂 I think I'll just look for a pair of narrower ones. Thanks!! 🙂

[@christopherleachman5903]

beautiful stuff you make. I am curious , doesn't the cement paste scratch the glass?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Nah it doesn't scratch the glass 🫶

[@glennmcintosh3902]

I’m amazed how you keep the glass from moving while scoring it

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I do like to use my spare hand to hold it still 🩵

[@herbmc3808]

Fantastic work as always, looks like you are able to use your arm freely again. How long have you been doing this and what made you start? So many pieces, lead came and solder joints, takes a lot of patience but worth it in the end! thanks again for sharing.

[@DannyP...]

Happy Birthday weekend! You make it look so easy,as always. My workshop is finally almost finished, and we came home with about 20 sheets of glass on Friday. 37.5 meters of came!!! That seems crazy. I am excited to try it myself. Waiting on my grinder to be delivered, and still can't find any grozing pliers that seem quality. I hope to be cutting the glass by the end of the week. My best friends kids even want to come over next week and work on a window for their first flat. We will prolly mess everything up, but it will be fun anyway.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I look forward to seeing how you get on ❤️💜🩵

[@ddoubledutch4783]

Please don’t wobble the window pre-cement. Got my nerves in tatters. Stunning work. Colours are immense on top of the beautiful lead. I’ve equipped myself with some tools, glass etc to start a hobby. Inspired. Happy Birthday 🎉

May I ask your preference for type or brand of black stove polish? I see there are pastes and liquids. Yours looks more paste like but I'd love your input. I found you first on Instagram and watching you break your scores with grozers amazes me and I will be trying that soon. Thank you for your inspiration. For years I've always done Sanford Bray's foil method that Tiffany made famous. However, watching your videos has nudged me into wanting to explore came. Your work is superb!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Cheers Kim Marie, I've used a bunch of stove polishes over the years all with similar results. I'm out the workshop for a couple of weeks and I can't remember the current one. I do remember the 'hot spot' brand in the metal tube worked well 👌

Oh my gosh, I love your videos. I just found you on KZbin. You’re so fast. Please tell me the ingredients of your putty. I am so tired in America of using stupid whiting after using putty. And you’re so fast when you cut the lead with your lead knife, you must sharpen it.

It's a very similar recipe to the ones you can find with a Google search for leaded light window cement recipe. But the exact recipe I use is a little bit of a secret 😉
