I Hate Jump Rings So These are My Hangers
The way you talk us through your prosses has been an invaluable learning experience for me. Thank you!
Your Welcome --I have seen & watched so many other much- much better produced videos then mine ---But without an explanation ? So how can anyone learn from that ?
The problem is that a lot of people getting into stained glass don't realize that copper foil is not meant to be load bearing
Attractive, creative panel. Unbelievable that the artist went through the process and didn't protect their work.
Learning a lot today! I've had this happen to Christmas tree trunks. Learned a basic pattern design failure after that😊. Your wire wrap edge is a great solution.
Thanks again! New subscriber😊
Great video! Thanks
I’m new at stain glass are you using 24 gage tinned copper wire?
I am using 24 gauge RAW copper wire NOT tinned ---If it were tinned the solder would JUMP the gap& solder everything together
Wonderful video! I use this technique but hadn’t thought to use thinner, more supple wire!
Thanks I had to work it out myself thru trial & error years ago & I had detailed that in the article in Stained Glass News a couple of months ago about the " Wire Shade Assembly " that I discovered
Okay...btw the "h" is silent.
Love your comment 'don't bet the farm.' Appreciate the tips, keep em coming.
I love your common sense approach using simplicity to get your amazing and beautiful results. Also appreciate your tutorial being so authentic. Cheers and thank you.
Great idea on the white out. I been using round toothpick stuck into the tube ends.
That is a wonderful video… thank you for sharing your method!
Very nice and helpfull, thank you !
Great video! Also, I love the misspelling on the note 😂
Off the screen.
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
4:02...son of a what????????!!!!!! LOL
What temp iron do you use attaching the copper wire?
Ya know I just have that iron on an old fashion reostat that goes from 1 to 100 --%-- so it's about 70 %. & Ya know really 1 of the reasons I use the 24 gauge is that it doesn't take a lot of heat to get it to take solder and it doesn't hold the heat as long as the thicker wire --So I can work closer & I don't have to hold it so long & risk burning my fingers
I love this video so helpful to me thank you for posting it!
Thanks ---but not everyone can figure out or express it in formula ---the lady I had made the video for originally didn't have the math skills to be able to understand what is in your reply
The straight line connecting the end-points of the arc, or chord length = 2r sin(θ/2). [θ is in radians] c = 2(2) * sin[(2*pi/5)/2] c = 4 * sin(1.26/2) c = 2.35" = 2 11/32" Or, for pentagram side: c = 2(2) * sin[(4pi/5)/2] c = 3 13/16"
0:43 nicer in the lines for me .
Your videos are great Jack quick to the point and what a gem to find knowledge like this!
Thank you
Hello! What do you use for wire or ware to hang stained glass windows ? thans
Most of the time I would be using 16 Gauge Jack Chain & I believe it's rated at up to 11 pound s most of the stuff I make is not that heavy
I really enjoy your videos and look forward to making something similar to this! What size is the brass tubing you used?
I believe I had used 1/16th inch---Though it could have been slightly smaller cause I have a box I save all my bits of scrap brass tubing & rods in
Brillant. Do you transform it in a paste ? I do not like the fact that is drips everywhere. Also: when I use normal zinc chloride paste and my American Beauty 250W I have no issue . But you still think that the solder is not of good quality ?
You use muriatic acid for zinc bars? I have no issue with normal zinc chloride paste flux …
I use the same kind of soldering iron .
5:57 muriatic acid …? Why ? I do not use it .
Well done work Sir.
Good setup . Thank you!
Well I will have to weigh it some how I just don't have a anything like a kitchen scale & it's going to be a while before I will be able to transport it any where because I will be making a box for the client to store it in when not in use----- plus I still have the other one to finish
How heavy is it once finished?
I just tried to weigh it on a spring scale & it not even register so maybe less than 2 pounds maybe even 1 pound
Thank you 😊
That goes against everything I have learned. I would never solder a hanger just to the came - even at an intersection.
Well I only have my over 56 years of experience to go by & That`s the whole point is to solder the hanger on at a intersection NOT out in the middle of nowhere & For myself I have never had what I use for hangers fail----Now I have had a boat load of repairs due to Jump Ring failure
Too bad we can't see what you're doing.
That's what I was going to say. I guess he didn't edit his video.
Excellent technique! Especially like the explanation of why the fine gauge wire is best.
Thanks I had come to that conclusion after trying thicker gauge s & when bending / folding the panels the heavier gauge ripped the foil off & what a mess that was to fix 😊😊
Sir, Kurt here, Did you stretch your came????
Yes always sorry it took so long I have been unwell
Hello Jack. My name is KURT, Recently Bought a vintage "Tiffany Style" swag lamp kit. I have been researching exactly what you are doing. I have found value in every vid I watched on this subject. Thank you for posting this Sir! God Bless. :)
Thank you for sharing
Great video.
Thanks for the tip
Wonderful idea, thank you!
Thanks for info. 😊so true most don’t think before doing. Lol
Can’t see the top so this part is useless
Yeah that`s a problem when I am shooting a video alone ---BUT there is enough of it there if you watch the whole video that most people could figure it out & you never know I may reshoot next time I am putting those loops on a project ---But it`s not like i can just reshoot a project over & over till I get the camera angle right ---I am just an old man trying to hopefully pass on what little I think I may have learned be fore I am dead
@@JackGlenn-zg7sm so glad you are sharing,
Thank you, Jack!!
Your welcome & find & watch the other videos that go along with this one --Wire Wrapping & Edge Beading
yep...i needed that fulcrum lesson..thanks Jack
Well Ya know in working in the factory glass cutting department --We did all our breaking by hand or using the pliers like in the video ---We never used Breakers / running pliers --In fact I have a pair in the studio but I never use them cause I get a cleaner break by hand
Very helpful to see you work. I've always have done copper foil method and struggle with the lead repair job I'm working on. Very helpful
Can you tell me anything about the machine? Where it came from, what brand, or??? My wife wants to get one but I am not having any luck finding something similar. Edit: Wife found name from one of your other videos - Diegel Stained Glass Foiler.
Ed Hoy's carries them & a lot of folks have found them on Amazon
@@JackGlenn-zg7sm Thank you.
Yes your welcome ya really don't want any thing similar --- all the other machines either rely on the glass being a uniform thickness which is often not the case & or are not able to do tiny pieces --or heavily textured glass ----So with the Diegel I have found that foiling all the glass of the same approximate thickness before changing the setting to be the most productive approach
@@JackGlenn-zg7sm Thank you again. My wife says that your videos are awesome and she is learning a lot.
I also have a Diegel and love it for the same reasons. Keep the videos coming!
