Wire Shade Assembly part 1

[@charleyf.3758]

Very good information. Most videos on here only show tape being used or a jig. This is very handy.

I finished my lamp using your method, I only did one thing different, after I picked it up and joined the sides, I tacked the top well and removed the wire and replaced it with 14 ga on the very inside it the top to strengthen it. I also run a piece down each side of the panels. Thank you for your guidance. I appreciate your wisdom.

Thanks it' a kind of evolutionary process in working that out & it really had to do with me getting my start in a factory that made those Funky lead came shades

I am enjoying your video's Where are you located and would you like to have an apprentice. I dabbled stained glas 25 years ago and I would like to learn from someonewith experience , like my old teacher from back then. I am very appreciative that you are passing your years of knowledge along:)

I'm in Lynchburg Va & it's difficult for me to have an apprentice because of how varied everything I work on is & I had learned / honed my skills through repetition and mostly I have had helpers over the years that were like a second pair of hands & the videos are probably the best way to learn the basic principles of what you would be learning as a apprentice

Yes I saw that in your post & just for my self for a shade that size just having the wire too & bottom with good bead would have been more than😅 sufficient but if placing the 14 gauge on it makes you feel better better than ok ---- It just seems like over kill to me --- but as long as you are happy that's all that really matters
