One I find your videos super soothing. But also. Watching you add the solder really helps explain why newer people's looks so janky your so perfectionist with it and I love it and hope I can be as good one day! I posted a call out on Facebook to see if any of my friends do stained glass so I could have a hangout. Bring my soldering iron, pay for supplies needed and be able to use their grinder. So I could see of this is an extra hobby I want to take on lol. I've always been obsessed with stained glass
I've been looking for a video like this since I started stained glass! I've wanted to try out came but was too intimidated, and this video has done a great job at turning that around. You're a HUGE help to so many people. Thank you!!! Can I ask what paint brand you use on the glass? I've been wanting to start adding small details to mine like that too!
This is by far the best and most informational video I've found to help me understand came. Holy moly!! So much useful information. Thank you so much for putting in the time to share your knowledge!
Thank you so much for putting this video together! You explain the process so clearly and helped answer a lot of questions I had about using lead came for the outside border.
First of all, you are so awesome to answer everyone's questions. I notice a lot of viewers never get a response, which is unfortunate because several people could benefit. Thank you so much for covering came and so easy to understand. Also, I enjoyed watching you solder. I recently watched a video with an art teacher and he taught his students to tape the came down to make it more manageable when applying. Maybe that could help you. Big fan from Washington State 😃
Thank you so much! I really try my best to respond to as many comments and questions as possible :) The tape idea is fantastic and I'll have to try that next time, I appreciate your input!
I really really love your videos! I am a stained glass artist myself and find your videos are the most helpful ones out there. (Especially when it comes to patina. I am shocked that noone is wearing gloves x.x Here in Germany we are so cautious when handling patina.)
I'm so happy you love the videos and I do so appreciate your kind words :) It also shocks me seeing people handling patina without gloves! I tried to make an extra point about it because I would hate for someone to follow my tips and get hurt from me not emphasizing it.
Hi Rachel, your old pal glasgowbeck here, I'm thinking lead came needs to happen in my life soon so this explanation and demonstration is perfectly timed. Need to up my soldering game first maybe. Thanks so much
Hi 👋 Rachel , I just recently saw Your channel on My feed . Thank Yous for Your videos . I have always been wanting to make Stain Glass since a Child . I just saw a YT video from Cutting Edge Stain Glass Studio , She used a Vice ( affixed to a very solid and sturdy table ) and pulled , stretched with pliers and Body weight , the Lead . She also said a Friend to help too . Oh My thats a lot of work to stretch those ! 🤍 Beautiful gorgeous Works 😊⚪️🤍
Thanks for such an informative video!! I thought I was absolutely ready to start using lead came. However, you described them in RU #s and when I'm trying to shop, nobody is using those terms that I can find. Some websites are using 1/8" round vs. 3/16" round. Amazon is just calling them 5/64" round. Now I'm so confused. I just want to do mostly small / medium projects, with a nice came edge. I had settled on RU100 as you described but can't figure out how that translates to the selling websites and their measurements.
I tried my best to give as much info as possible - glad you liked the video! The above issue you described is exactly why I went with a stained glass supplier for ordered versus ordering on Amazon (although i know this is not always possible as Amazon is much more accessible). I believe the easiest option would be to convert the fractions to millimeters and compare with what I include in the video (or, on a stained glass suppliers website). I apologize this comment is so late, I'm sure you've already found a solution!
Loved your video showing you finishing the stained glass pumpkin. What is the glass you used in making the pumpkin? And did the decorations harden using a kiln? Gerald
Thanks for doing this video, Rachel! I’ve seen two different ways to add U came to the border, one with foiling the edges and soldering the came directly to the edges and the other being the way you just demonstrated. I was doing it the former way but found that it looks quite messy by the end. I tried this technique, but on a piece with very few solder lines meeting the edge so there is nothing anchoring the came to the edge and it slightly pulls away under the weight of a jump ring. I’m nervous the came will stretch with time and pull away from the edge. Ever have this issue? Thanks!!
I've absolutely had this problem! Theres a part in the video where I briefly address this. For areas that need extra support I put a small strip of foil, usually half an inch or so, and then solder the cane to that. It helps keep the mess down but helps add that extra little bit of stability :)
Just wondering how not to totally crush the soft lead with my neighbors? I did order the nippers listed on your link ❤️ Hope it works LOL thank you so much for all you do with these tips and tricks I’ve learned so much with your channel.
As far as what I've experienced, you will always kind of smoosh the lead when you cut it. I cut mine as quickly as possible to try and get a nice sharp edge. If you do crush it, I will go back in a cut the sides down individually to create a nice chisel point. I hope that last part makes sense! Thanks so much for watching 🥰
This is great video . I'll be making lamp shades and sconce s from obsidian , agate , and a few other materials and want to use lead instead of that copper.
Hello, I really like how you have organized your UA-cam channel and the detailed information you provide in the videos and in the description. I am a beginner stained glass artist. Could you please tell me if you have a video showing and explaining how you put the wire/cantel decorative element (which is on the pumpkin)?? I am wondering what material it is made of and is a special flux used to solder it? I bought a wire, but the solder does not join the wire. Please help me.
Gorgeous. Love your videos, I'm brand new to stained glass and watching you make it seem so easy. I hope it is! What did you use for the black embellishment and how did you do it.
Hi Judy! Thanks for watching and for your kind words :) It can be a little tricky to get used to at first but just practice practice practice and itll get easier and easier! I just pebeo Vitrea 160 paint for my embellishments. I have a shorts video on my youtube that describes the process :)!
When ordering came from the site you linked, how much would you suggest ordering as a hobbyist (I'm sure you order more than I would)? I see that it comes in 6 ft rolls, but I can't quite visualize how much I'd need for say, 5 medium sized projects since I've never used it! Any suggestions? One roll per 2 projects maybe?
This video is so helpful! I haven’t used came in a long time, but I prefer the finish it gives. I have a question: when using came for a foiled piece like this, do you have to cement the edges how you would for a completely came piece?
Thanks for watching! I totally agree - came gives such a polished and professional finish to a piece! No, you do not need to cement the edges. Theres two main methods of finishing edges with plain came depending on if you're using hobby came or thicker came. 1) applying only came with no foil underneath. This is preferred if using a thick came or if finishing shorter edges with hobby came. Generally when using thick came it will be sturdy enough and have enough attachment points to the solder lines of the main piece to not wiggle or move out of place. 2) applying came over foiled edge and soldering the came to the foil. This is preferred for hobby came with longer edges. In these cases I use 1/4" foil for the edges (although depends on glass thickness. If glass is thinner, 7/32 will sometimes suffice). I hope that makes sense/helps!
Thank you thank you! Any suggestions for how to match the finish of the came to the solder? I really want to do a silver polish on the entire piece but haven’t had luck making that happen.
The color is going to vary slightly - the came is usually darker than the solder once polished when left silver. Most lead came accepts black patina but I havent had luck with copper patina on the ru70 or su54 (and I haven't tried copper on the smaller came)
Hi again Rachel, when you add the jump ring, does that need to connect to a solder seam at the back? Or to the came? And do you use two for something this size? Thank you as always ❣️
I usually try to connect to both! At a minimum, definitely the solder seam. Unless the project is very small, attaching only to lead will eventually stretch it out.
Your videos are amazingly helpful, thankyou 😍 I was wondering what kind of marker you are using for drawing on the glass? I've been using oil based paint markers and baking them on in the oven, which seems to have fully fired it on *until* I paint on flux for soldering, which seems to just dissolve it. Watching you paint flux over these lines just fine, I'm desperate to know what you're using!
You should try a honeycomb board or even cork, for large things like Windows you would use this method- using something like a thumb- tack to keep everything tight n stationary- as someone who's had a project slip just b4 contact w the iron- or burnt fingers, trust me it helps, u can cut your own lil staples from steel wire- cork from $ store- it don't need to b fancy
you are amazing. i love your work. i was wondering if you have a video on how to add a background to my image. im not sure how to describe what i mean. my image is of a pheasant, with flowers at its base, i dont know how to combine the whole image, and the negative spaces, to create a framed work. thank you so much... i hope this makes some sense.
Hey! Quick question. How do I prevent my foil and soldering from falling off edges if I'm not using lead came? I'm kind of new and inherited all my supplies. I just haven't gotten around to buying hobby came yet, and I made a corner piece yesterday. The edges I soldered ended up peeling up. This video really helped me decide which came I should get so thank you haha.
I have a video on my channel all about how to prevent your foil from lifting! Theres quite a few factors so I'd say check that out to see everything you can change to prevent it from lifting up :) glad you liked the video!
Thank you for your helpful video. I am interesting trying this with the commercial solder iron that I have. would you please share with me what kind of solder wire should I get to try it out? I am not sure if the commercial solder iron is going to work. But would love to give it a chance. Thank you !
Hi there! I dont see why you wouldn't be able to use the iron you have, although I know irons that are used for electronic soldering have reaaallllyyyy tiny tips and arent good for stained glass. I use 60/40 solder, which can be ordered from most stained glass supply websites (Delphi, anything in stained glass, etc)
2 questions! What stained glass paint do you use? Also for adding wire for details and patterns do you get tinned copper wire or just copper wire does it matter?
Hi! I use pebeo Vitrea 160. As for copper wire, pre-tinned is easier although theoretically plain copper wire should work just fine. It's mostly just a pain have to tin it yourself! I purchase my wire in a glass store and dont know where they get theirs from.
I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure. I have never used H came so I dont feel as though I'm qualified to answer. If I do end up trying leaded glass, I can make an update video about it!
What temperature did you keep your Hakko iron on during this project? I always have trouble with black specks happening in my solder, even when I try lowering the temperature.
I had it at 410 for this entire video. It sounds like you might just need to clean the tip better - I tend to get black specks when my sponge is a bit too dirty. I usually wipe the tip every 4th or 5th solder stroke
Where do you buy your came from? Also would you recommend RU-90 for my piece which is measuring 22 inches by 22 inches? It only goes around the border of the whole piece, right?
I buy my came from anythinginstainedglass.com. I find RU-90 is a VERY tight fit and can only be used with thinner glass. I like RU-70 for my big projects and it gives me plenty of wiggle room. At 1:34 I talk about the sizes and how they compare
@@sunbearglasscraft8065 With a larger project, would you recommend using came rather than copper foil/solder for the internal pieces? Or do I just came the border?
It depends on the size, but I personally have never done a fully leaded piece. The largest I've made was about 21x15 inches and copper foil for everything plus a lead came border was just fine. There's ways to reinforce but I've never made something big enough to require it. As for any other information regarding leaded glass, you'll have to check out other people's tutorials :) stainedglassdiy does a lot with fully leaded glass!
Sure did enjoy ur video..am glad to hav come across ur channel & hav sub..maybe u hav a video on hobby came? I will look..if not would u perhaps give some insight on it as well? Thanx Georgia USA..😊
@@sunbearglasscraft8065 if I didn't just delete most of my social I'd give you a follow. I almost only use Reddit and imgur these days. I decided I wanna get into stained glass. I've always wanted too and binging a bunch of your videos today made me want to take the dive
Oh no worries, I totally understand! I've been meaning to post on reddit more so maybe heres my sign to 😄 Stained glass is super rewarding so I think you'll have a blast! Also, idk if you use discord but I do post on there as well. Let me know if youd like an invite!
@SunBearGlassCraft So I started stained glass and am working on my second piece. You were right I love it. It's so rewarding. And so many hours spent on your videos already. I want to use came around this one because its kind of big. My question is, if the lead came is tacked onto my piece every 4 inches or so, is stretching it really necessary? In my mind it seems like it has enough contact to not need it. If I was just putting a frame of came around the piece, and it was only tacked in the corners, the stretching would definitely be needed. Any thoughts? Thanks again for everything you put on youtube
Like Sunbear a nice pro who helps others learn what she knows, she does not have to share any of this with us show some gratitude. I looked at your channel and out of the 900 playlists you have not one deals with stained glass. Clearly you are a Karen who has some chip on your shoulder. Sunbear asked you in other videos what your criticism was and you just post this here rather than respond. That tells me you don't see anything wrong and just decided to not like her for whatever reason. You are attacking one of the most helpful creators on youtube, the only positive from this is your interactions come off as positive engagement for the youtube algorithm so you are helping Sunbear get in front of more people not less. Seriously Karen get bent.
i appreciate you occasionally having these in real time. it gives me a realistic expectation of how long things take.

It depends on the size, but I personally have never done a fully leaded piece. The largest I've made was about 21x15 inches and copper foil for everything plus a lead came border was just fine. There's ways to reinforce but I've never made something big enough to require it. As for any other information regarding leaded glass, you'll have to check out other people's tutorials :) stainedglassdiy does a lot with fully leaded glass!

Do you have a Reddit? I'd like to see more finished work.
I do although have never posted there before. My instagram is currently the best place to see finished work :)
@@sunbearglasscraft8065 if I didn't just delete most of my social I'd give you a follow. I almost only use Reddit and imgur these days. I decided I wanna get into stained glass. I've always wanted too and binging a bunch of your videos today made me want to take the dive
Oh no worries, I totally understand! I've been meaning to post on reddit more so maybe heres my sign to 😄 Stained glass is super rewarding so I think you'll have a blast! Also, idk if you use discord but I do post on there as well. Let me know if youd like an invite!
@SunBearGlassCraft So I started stained glass and am working on my second piece. You were right I love it. It's so rewarding. And so many hours spent on your videos already.
I want to use came around this one because its kind of big. My question is, if the lead came is tacked onto my piece every 4 inches or so, is stretching it really necessary? In my mind it seems like it has enough contact to not need it. If I was just putting a frame of came around the piece, and it was only tacked in the corners, the stretching would definitely be needed. Any thoughts?
Thanks again for everything you put on youtube
like new studio, please show clutter

Bless your heart.

If you're a beginner PLEASE LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL!
Like Sunbear a nice pro who helps others learn what she knows, she does not have to share any of this with us show some gratitude. I looked at your channel and out of the 900 playlists you have not one deals with stained glass. Clearly you are a Karen who has some chip on your shoulder. Sunbear asked you in other videos what your criticism was and you just post this here rather than respond. That tells me you don't see anything wrong and just decided to not like her for whatever reason. You are attacking one of the most helpful creators on youtube, the only positive from this is your interactions come off as positive engagement for the youtube algorithm so you are helping Sunbear get in front of more people not less. Seriously Karen get bent.
