    Time for another episode of That Cost's How Muuuchhhh?? We've been seeing a lot of trendy decor all over TikTok, Pinterest and UA-cam recently.
    The West Elm Solstice Line has this beautiful table that ranges from $600 to $800 online, depending on the size of it. They also have a taller entry way table that is $700, so I decided I wanted to make a hybrid of all of these to fit at the end of my bed! I am also remaking this Ferm Living Pond Mirror that retails for $469, which personally is a bit too much to spend on a mirror of this size!
    MENTIONS:
    West Elm Solstice Line - bit.ly/3qHm6uw
    Ferm Living Pond Mirror - bit.ly/3DGJqO2
    Blob mirror that appears at 12:00 - bit.ly/3uduIv4

    The bench is next level skills. Impressed doesn't even come close to describing how I feel. I like how each step/task was broken down into manageable peices because I certainly felt overwhelmed. The mirror...speechless. ❤

  • @k.wilkinson3901
    @k.wilkinson3901 2 роки тому +17

    I believe that the pistol grip glass cutter has a place for you to put the oil inside it. The bottom gold "button" should open and you can add oil inside the tool. Then when you apply pressure the oil can seep out through the scoring portion helping lubricate the tool to score the glass better. My grandfather used to make stained glass windows for various churches my the area. I helped him out a lot with his work and he had an older version of this tool, could be different but it looks the same.

    • @chrisshimizu308
      @chrisshimizu308 2 роки тому

      that’s right - i use the same kind for stained glass, and the oil goes in the handle. makes the cuts a lot easier, so you’re not fighting the curves as much.

    Maybe add the hours as well, including time of sourcing materials. Time is money. I feel like a lot of people don't realize how much it cost to make something. If you look at it from the side of the maker handmade things are usually incredibly cheap too cheap. They should earn more money. But the average person doesn't realize how little the person who made it earns.

  • @hannahrose7776
    @hannahrose7776 2 роки тому +1

    Loved these DIYs as someone who is both an amateur woodworker AND beginner stained glass artist!
    Commenting because I have a few tips that I thought could help you with any future glass/mirror cutting projects. The handle of the glass cutting tool you were using should actually twist open at the end and hold oil, so you don’t have to apply it to the tip externally. I would also look into alternative ways to grip your scorer, the way you held it works but is more tiring than other options. Also, I was taught to push more forward than down as it gives you more control and is easier on your arms.
    Also for anyone looking to start out, try not to backtrack or pick up the tool mid-score, it exponentially increases the chances of your piece breaking in the wrong direction. Also the pencil trick works for simple, large cuts but they sell clamps and pliers that would work better for most applications.
    Love the channel and the video!!

I had to settle for an ugly wire sided kennel for my dog because the prettier wood sided ones that better match my decor are just too expensive.
