I’m very fond with those old stained glass lights from the 1960s and 1970s. I have one in my house that has cracked glass. This video was very helpful.
I love what you did with your Grandfathers lamp. Love that shade of mauve glass and have used it often as accent floral pieces. I have a old shade from the same error that is painted a hideous color blue and it has different color panels all the way around. This summer I will do it over in one color as you have. Of course re electrify it as well and paint it black or whatever goes best with my single glass choice. Saving this beautiful video. PAM. Thank You for the inspiration.
Would be great if you could make a modern style table lamp from scratch starting from what hardware is required, drawing the pattern choosing the glass etc.
I was extremely happy that you instructed on maintaining the hot (black) and neutral (white) relationship. Most people do not realize the importance of that from a safety perspective. You may want to try using some LED bulbs in it instead of the fluorescents. With LED's, you can choose a range of temperatures and choose one that shows the glass the best. My GF likes the 2700k bulbs much better than the 5000k bulbs. John
@@MakenzieHallie thank you for posting such great videos you are truly an inspiration I've gotten into stained glass recently and absolutely love it I am actually working on my first spinner right now
I recall you mentioning a desire to get into glass firing. Have you persued that? I just did a test run on my refurbished kiln, my test piece slumped perfectly. Just ordered kiln paper and vermiculite boards to make forms. Also some K type thermocouples to make a controller to program firing profiles. John
Great you went on vacation! I was wondering where you were. Very nice video with good instructions including the brief overview of the wiring. I was very surprised with the photo of the original lit lamp at the end of the video - it was pretty striking. I assume the glass you removed is at least 60 years old if that is the age of your grandfather's lamp. It looks like German opalescent to me as I think I bought some of it about 35 years ago. I was a little surprised at your Mom's choice of the mauve transparent glass for the shade. The lamp with the blackened frame does look nice at the end, but usually opalescent glass is used for lamps so the bulb "hot spots" don't show through. But, your Mom loved the mauve glass and it was very nice of you to rebuild that lamp for her. I think I read in your answer to another comment that you were going to do a Tiffany type lampshade. Great! I look forward to that set of videos. Just a couple comments based on my negative experience. The base, cap, ring, electrical sockets, etc, can get pretty expensive. It is best to make sure the ring on the upper top of the lamp fits the cap and finial. I placed the incorrect ring on my lamp shade and I have not been able to find a cap that fits (I really don't want to break that lamp shade apart to fit a new ring). Also, as you probably know, you can patina the sockets and pull chains to either match the patina on the lamp or give it a "green/blue" patina like aged bronze. Sorry for the length of my reply. Please edit as you see fit.
Love the makeover. I bought some glass at Toy Town Stained Glass a couple months ago and told them that UA-cam lady with the scary fingernails recommended them. They said "Oh, Makenzie ..." Anyway, great people, great advise, good recommend. I was going to try a simple lamp from a book pattern soon, maybe that could be a video you can do. You can add moons, stars, or bats to the design and make it your own.
😂😂 awesome, I'm glad you were able to find something you liked at toy town! And a lamp is coming up soooonn!!! Both a basic sheet lamp pattern and a friggin Tiffany. That one will probably be a series. Lol
Hi Mackenzie. Just got my first hakko 601 now it has a uk plug. Can I ask if I need to lock the temp dial or can I leave it as it arrived and just move the dial to 360 and call it done please?
Amen , on the vacation, did you by chance go to the wax museum? This is a great video too, your always so informational about your doing. I am glad, you don’t mind teaching and showing us all, I hope you have more to do videos like these. I think you could actually sell tutorial videos, lol I guess today’s world, it would be CD’s.
Hi! The lamp looks so much better. I have to be honest and tell you how much I hate those light bulbs. Maybe another style would look better as you can see them when sitting and looking up from the table. Hope you had a nice vacation.
Not mine. 😂 lol, looked so much better. Changed it again after this too! A beautiful blue. But it's not a high value vintage piece. I have the original glass anyway, I could strip it and keep the new working lamp sockets I put in if someone, after I'm dead, wants it original. And thank you!
There wasn’t much too watch when I was getting into Stain Glass. I watched a lady named Vicki Payne? I believe, and she was only on PBS. i started buying videos and that was how l learned. Please if this is not aloud, please delete this comment, I don’t want to offend you nor take away from your business. I really appreciate your hard work. I beat if I went back and watched any videos I bought, they don’t teach as much as you are.
Oh no absolutely not, I don't mind at all! I actually had another commentor mention this person before and how they had a VHS of it!!! So awesome. And exactly why I started my channel. When I started, the stained glass content on UA-cam was practically non existent. I'm so glad your enjoying my videos and thank you so much for watching! 🖤
WOW you hit it out of the park !
I Love It 😍

That is very cool glass when it's lit up. Nice job!!!
Thanks Stella!
An amazing job on the lamp! Your vacation got you all fired up for the challenge. Love your work as always Makenzie,
Thanks so much Michael! 🙏
I love how the lamp turned out!!! And most of all I love the way you explain all the process! Amazing ❤️
Thanks so much Deb!
Thanks!
Wow!!! That is gorgeous!! Fantastic work as usual! I love the history of the lamp. A true labor of love.
Indeed it was. I was happy to do it!
You did a wonderful job on the lamp. It looks beautiful!!! And alot more safe being brought up to code electrically. Excellent.
Absolutely, I feel so much better about it being in my parents house now. Visually and electrically lol.
Looks beautiful...and YES the lamp had to be painted.
Ohhh yesssss
Good call painting it black made all the difference…. Stunning lamp… love it 🤩
Oh yea. No way I could have left it! Thank youuu!!!
Looks so good!
Thank you!!
So beautiful. You are a true artist x
Thank you Linda!!!

Great makeover. I agree the color is stunning.

Indeed, thankfully my dad clued me in on that importance. And the bulbs are specifically my parents, and what they wanted. Didn't even change em. Lol
That turned out beautiful ❤️🤩 great job!
Thank you Serena! I love it so much now.

Sorry you don't like the bulbs! Not my lamp. 🖤
Hello Makenzy love your tutorials. To érase sharpies marks works really well using hidroalcoholic gel(Cvid 19)
Thank you, good tip! 🖤
Missed you too.
🖤🖤🌈🌈
🤔A single larger led panel might be easier than screwing around with miltiple bulb sockets. 🤷🏻♂️
I like the original 3 and the pull chains. Childhood memories. Plus, wasn't my lamp/decision. 😂🖤
This is an antique slag glass lampshade... I mean, was 😵💫
Yea. It's been in my family since the time they were made. And the owner, my mother, wanted new glass.
@MakenzieHallie you did a great job! My heart still bleeds tho.
Not mine. 😂 lol, looked so much better. Changed it again after this too! A beautiful blue. But it's not a high value vintage piece. I have the original glass anyway, I could strip it and keep the new working lamp sockets I put in if someone, after I'm dead, wants it original. And thank you!
i got a vintage lamp that was wrecked the other day and harvested the glass from it - not one bit of glass was ground on that either. i was like, wtf?
