I must have watched 10 hours of mind numbingly boring videos of soldering techniques, all of which failed to cover advanced and artful technique, then I stumble upon this gem. My fear is gone, I will make mistakes and learn from them ... and then I'll come back and watch this video again! Beautiful work! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is the best video I've EVER seen on soldering stained glass! Your techniques are amazing and you have solved all of the difficulties I continued to have on my windows! Thank you so much! I've been a glass artist for over 35 years and until now, I've never seen the process of soldering shown to be so easy and smartly done. Also, I loved your birds that you made, beautiful and great work
shucks..... thanks Ilene, you're too kind.... :-)
Me too. I have made at least 50 lamps and mirror wall hangings, and I never got it to look this nice. I mean, they looked good to me and other folks but this style raises it to a new level.
That big solder is cool also. I t helps distribute the metal, and get more onto the iron. Im thinking.
You do not go around each individual pc. first,before soddering together? I was told to do that!
2020,4 am in the morning and watching you,most relaxing and inspiring,huge thank you!!
I have not attempted to do any soldering of stained glass in 40+ years so taking a 'refresher' course and this is a very fine example of 'How To'. Thanks to Karin for showing me your excellent tecquinique.
I've watched countless videos on stained glass and soldering and yours are my favorites!
No BS and boring people to tears, instead right to the point and your techniques are flawless.
Thank you for posting!
Cheers Molly... :-) your flattery has worked wonders on my smiles today... :-)
Karainz, you are an amazing artist. I enjoy the patterns and work you create.
I am presently in my second school for stained glass and no one has taught me to lay a bead as you have done in your tutorials. My masters say my work is really very good...so what they are really saying is you Karainz, have taught me well. Please continue with UA-cam presentations and I will follow you to the moon............ I want to do glass like you do..
Your presentations are so relaxing, peaceful in a calming way. A nice way to learn.

Where do you buy the gun and soldering materials?
Thank you, sir! I just wanted a straight up, simple lesson in soldering on glass and this was perfect! Thanks again! :D
Thank you so much for taking the time to assemble these videos to share your skills with us beginners!
I LOVE that you are doing close ups of the soldering gun and solder. This really helps a lot!
Thank you for filming and sharing this ! You make it look so easy ! I'm still practicing - watching you genuinely helps 🤗
This piece is gorgeous! And, absolutely the BEST soldering video I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!
I absolutely LOVED watching this. It was so mellow and informative. Thank you so much for making this series! And your piece is BEAUTIFUL.
I like how you have coiled your solder bar into an upright posture, sitting and ready for when you just want to pick up a bead - hands-free. In general your touch is light and steady. "it's not a race!" you say. It's kind of relaxing watching you work.
Beautifully done. Simple, logical, and with a great amount of nice camera work. The written instructions are very helpful. I got so caught up in watching your technique that I had to go back and read the copy! Keep up the great job! You're very talented.
This was probably the best video I’ve watched so far on soldering! I inherited my grandpas stained glass things and really wanted to continue the tradition but the soldering keeps stressing me out. This video really helped me get a better understanding of how to be neat with it! Thank you so much for uploading!!!
Beautiful! there is something so soothing and peaceful watching solder melt and flow!...I think it`s because its puts one smack dab in the now!....thanks for sharing.
I didn't plan on watching the whole 13 minutes as I came across this randomly..but your skill and artistry is just mesmerizing to watch! Very very cool!
I have only done fused glass work so far and you have given me the encouragement to do some copper work which I've yearned to do for some time.
Thank you so much, you are an amazing artist and it's so much easier to follow your video with text than the usual speech. Cheers, Liz
The hanger is very important (as you've already discovered) I always use fine brazing rod (buy it from a welders supply store) Bend it with needle nose pliers to form a shape like a number 9. The leg goes along a bead of solder so as to anchor it deeply into the panel. Check out this clip at 11:00 min's you'll see exactly what to do... :-)
You are absolutely a master. It's a pleasure to watch you solder. I wish if I could acquire that level of skill. Good on you mate. I'll watch other videos of yours.
Thanks
Karla, you are amazing! I learned stained glass over 40 years ago, worked on it off and on. Your technique is really inspiring, bring back some good memories. Thank you for sharing! And need to spend some times on your website. Amy
Thank you SO much for all these videos. You didn't have to share all this knowledge for free but you did. It's been so helpful!
Laurel O'Brien so nice to watch thank you
Now I realize that this video has been up for years, but this is the first time I've ever watched someone do stained glass. You sir, are a master craftsman! That was incredible! I will have to check out more of your videos.
Can't even begin to thank you for this great tutorial. I've just finished foiling my first piece and will try to follow your tips. Again thank you!
From one teacher to another, your tutorials are fantastic. Your method of teaching really helps me to focus on the skill being taught (yes, I've watched several of your videos :) ). I learn a lot from you. Thanks for helping out this beginner in stained glass.
I have watched several videos on soldering and have to say you make it look easy and have amazing attention to detail. Thanks for posting the video. It helps this beginner to have less anxiety about starting.
I could watch this all day. Beautiful!
Your video was like a meditation. Enthralling and informative! Thank you!
I just came across this video in my search to learn more about soldering techniques. You make this look so easy! Thanks for the great video. Beautiful work.
I used to do blown glass and now I’m getting into stained glass. It is a completely different skill set! Thank you for the video! Now I’m going to practice soldering!
You, sir, are a joy to watch, I have learned so much from your videos. God has blessed your hands. Thank you!
I had done several projects before, but your video taught me a few helpful tips. Thank you!
Seriously. Those are some impressive soldering skills. Can't get over how clean those beads are, Bravo!
Awesome! Beautiful piece! I just started doing stain glass projects and I always find soldering challenging. This video helped me see how to correctly do it and not make a giant mess. Thank you so much for posting. :-)
I am very impressed with your technique. It helped me identify many of my "rookie" technique errors. Thanks!
Woah ! Awesome! last year i watch quite a few videos on stain glass projects ..but not like this . i learned way more from you in such a small amount of time . your a No Nonsense guy . You didn't even say anything but your video got straight to the point and your work is AMAZING THANK YOU for sharing . looking forward to watching all your other videos and hopefully get to it already keep them coming :)
This video is awesome! I've been having trouble with my soldering, and your video was a huge help. Thank you for making it!
It was lovely to see your face and the finished product. What a stunning piece to use as a demonstration, thank you!
this is the best soldering video I've seen so far. Thanks for the class.👍
This soldering video is so detailed, clear and methodical. I didn't appreciate the various ways of applying the solder and controlling heat. I also see the importance of initial tinning. It's great to pick up important tips after just watching for a few minutes. Inspiring stuff!
This was so incredibly relaxing to watch.
I just stumbled across your video and decided to watch. Every time I'm in Lowe's or Home Depot, I walk past the soldering irons and think about getting one just to try something like this. Everybody knows that I crochet, and if there's a gift coming, it's likely to be a crocheted piece. But I'd love to have a skill in some other area as well. Now that I've seen your beautiful work, I believe I want to try. I've read the other comments, and I see that you've answered my initial questions. I know this is an old video, but still, it's the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you so much. Also, thanks for mentioning that you sped up the video. I felt less helpless when I read that. lol
Ninja edit: I just visited your website, and am even more motivated. Thirty years of experience at the time of that writing, no? I think I'd better pay close attention to your video instructions. Kudos on your beautiful work.
I have been having problems with my soldering...still lots to learn, but your technique is simple and new to me. I will try it today! Thank you for sharing your amazing skills!
Everything you said was necessary to know and it really teaches the right way of soldering, I like the attention to detail, the time you apply to heating the solder, the added piece at the end of the leaf for strength and the clarity of the video. You saved me $280 on the lessons, but I will take some anyway and surprise the teacher with my added knowledge. Thanks. I will post my first work when I/m done..
I am new to foiled stained glass and am having so much trouble learning to solder. I soldered my first project which was 47 pcs. The next day I tore it apart and started over. I am foiling the pcs again and will try to solder it again this weekend. Thank you for sharing. I think I've got it now.
Thank you so much. I was forced into finding out how to repair a large stained glass hanging light, whose mounting bracket broke it solder. Your video really showed your expertise off nicely. I have soldered for electronics (not very cleanly I must say) but now I feel I can do justice to this fixture and remount the bracket.
Thanks again. Always had a hankering to do some stained glass work. Maybe I will try it depending on how I do on this job.
Wow I could watch you work all day lol. Your skills are awesome. Thanks for so much, I know this is 8 years old however thankful you still have them up.
Thank you so much. That was really helpful. I recently retired from 40 years of pottery, had stained glass sitting in a box, and dug it out. I'd tried it a couple of decades ago so saying I'm rusty wouldn't cover it. Never proficient but love it. Now, after watching your tutorials I feel more confident.
I always know that when I watch one of your videos it will have great camera work so that I can clearly see details. You are so talented! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Excellent soldering skills shown.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much! I appreciate every single thing about this teaching video!!! Just starting and will save this to watch again and again.
You are the best online teacher sir... Salute from Indonesia... Your soldering video is the best i've ever seen so far... Watching ur vid in December 2020
So mesmerizing. Love just watching you work! I’m about to do stained glass for the first time.
Thank you so much for the tutorials. I've picked up so many tips and refined my technique. You make it look effortless and flawless. I hope to get there some day and really appreciate the help.
I love watching you work! You have an amazing talent and very steady hands! Thank you for your video’s! Beautiful work!
I was having troubles holding everything , because of my hands , but you make that look easy , thank you
Wow, what can I say that hasn't already been said, you've blown me away.... Thank you
Thanks so much for these tutorials! Love the details.
Thank you for this. I am still learning and my soldering is in serious need of help so this gives me inspiration.
Thank you, your demos are great! You have helped me with my soldering. I needed help there. It really can make or break a project. I like how much detail you share and the fast motion is nice. I like the photo to finished project too~ wow! Great job!
Awesome video, I really enjoyed watching all of your techniques. Your soldering is right on man, great job. Thanks for the video!!!
This is an excellent video. Very educational I have watched it several times and will probably watch it again. I learn something additional each time.
The most helpful video I've seen. Thank you!
Your technique and talent is amazing! Such a beautiful gift to watch and the final product is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for this video! It's made me much, much more confident in my soldering. Can't wait to watch all of your videos! :D
I have yet to do my first stained glass. I was just searching for information on the subject. I've done a lot of soldering with electrical circuitry and also copper plumbing and there is definitely an art to it even when you don't necessarily have to make it look pretty. Your use of the thicker solder rods I think is optimal to the thinner rolled version. What you do here is beautiful and you do well in demonstrating your technique. I will bookmark this video for future reference for sure. THANX!!
Great attention to detail. great work! Thanks for sharing.
I’m a beginner and you have inspired me to try new things with more confidence!!
Oh my gosh! That's art in motion!!! I'm working on a project right now and am so frustrated with my horrible solder job! I haven't done any stained glass in years so I know my cutting sucks and I am way out of practice. After seeing you, maybe I won't throw the whole mess in the yard! Thanks
I watched the whole video, and I don't even care about stained glass. Something mesmerizing about it.
Your video is exactly what I needed to see today! I should have watched before I soldered my first project lol! Thank you for sharing :)
Hey Karal, Great job! Thank you for your wonderful tutorials … spot on x
Yes, today, we need to watch this beautiful soul. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great work Karalnz...You attention to the details is impeccable and you make it look so easy. Has always been a desire of mine to learn stain glass and you are an inspiration...Thanks
Thank you so much! My soldier is such a mess. I think seeing how you position the tip of your iron will help me a lot. Beautiful work by the way!!!
Thanks for the great videos. They are all very helpful and have inspired me to get back into my stained glass production.
I never would have thought to use a brazing rod to make it more stable, thanks for the tip! I think this will also help improve my technique for doing the outer edges.
Great video! Thanks for all the tips and for making it look easy 😁
wonderful, simplicity itself, once it has been explained, but so far I have only seen your tutorial that takes the time to do so, love your pair of gannets, very satisfying to see them assembled for life !
Very much enjoyed it, and appreciate knowing that you use the Weller 100, which I was thinking about getting. I'm getting into this soon, and will check out your other videos. You're very kind to share your advice with the people posting here.
WOW you make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
Your accuracy allowed me to stretch myself and learn patience, you inspererar me with your accuracy in the solder time ...:-) Thanks, I read that you are on FB, will seek you there. God bless!!
Thanks for your excellent teaching! I learned a lot.
Good thing I watched your video. I had forgotten a few things, thanks so much for the refresher.
Great job!! Thanks for the tutorial. This is something I have always wanted to get into!
Always enjoy watching your work.
How lucky am I! I just came across another one of your videos! You encouraged me so much to get started again on the beautiful art of stained glass, and after watching your video on cutting curves, I have made two small pieces! I look forward to seeing more of your fantastic artistry!
Thank you also for emailing me with a response about two months ago! (Cynthia Ochoa)
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your art with us. You have an amazing talent, and you are not greedy with it. May God bless you endlessly. :-)
I started to take stain glass class this year and watching your video makes me want to better my skills Thank you for your teachings God Bless
I recently retired and learning stained glass. These videos are amazing and I am getting tips my teacher doesn't even know. Such beautiful work! My question is how many years will I need to practice to get this good?! 😉 I absolutely love the tip about fluxing the solder bar!!! Brilliant!
Gosh... you make it look so easy!
You do inspiringly beautiful work and your videos are also first rate for teaching. Thank you so much!
I love all your video's and have learned a lot from them, thank you.
Nice to see someone using bar solder, I couldn't find any on a roll which was solid core so ordered some bar cos that's what I used to use. I was beginning to think that might be what my problem was but seeing you use it with such great results has inspired me to persevere. Not many stained glass shops in W.A.!
You'll have a better chance of finding bar solder from a plumbers supply store or a welding shop.
I get mine directly from the lead mill where it's made. (Dominion Lead Mill in Penrose, Auckland NZ)
A Master at work is always a joy to behold...
Thanks karalnz for sharing your stained glass art with all, you are so generous with sharing your knowlege. Wonderful birds and wonderful 3D buterfly.
Thank you , I am learning a lot!! You are incredibly talented. Blessings to you!!
This is a beautiful process and so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us, your work is inspiring and gorgeous ❤
Your technique is amazing! Such clean lines, I hope I'm as good as you one day
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was absolutely wonderful!
