I am so happy I found your channel ! I suffer from BPD and CPTSD and it’s really hard for me to hold down everyday jobs . I recently got fired and it gave me the idea to start doing art and I’ve always really loved stained glass . I’m so excited to order my beginners kit :) I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me and I am so grateful for you !
@@marandjoe Its absolutely worth it. Haven't gotten the details yet but usually its a fri and sat in October. I would suggest getting there Friday. Their prices in general are good. They have a lot of uncat glass cheap cheap.
Your smile and enthusiasm for the craft are amazing! Your explanations are very clear and easy to follow and that Hawaiian shirt is ace!! Subbed from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
Im lucky enough to have a glass store within 25 mins drive. Its very packed though and not very organized so its more like a junkyard for glass than a showroom. For anyone looking for a fairly cheap way to store your glass besides cardboard boxes on the floor like i used for months, i got a 4 cube shelf from Target that's meant to hold those fabric 13" storage cubes. Make sure you get 13" not 11". Then i bought a 4 pack of triangle vinyl album display dividers on amazon and they work perfectly. The cube shelf was about $55 at Target and the triangles were like 32. Finally, i bought some glass recently from Delphi and it was great quality with careful shipping. However, they did not send me a confirmation email after i ordered which left me in limbo wondering if my order was being processed or not. Days later i finally got a confirmation and ship notice. I dont know if this was a glitch or not. Hopefully they dont do this all the time.
Thank you for posting this video. The information is helpful. I also want to compliment you on you presentation. I think you are upbeat and happy without being too goofy or over excited as some do.
Thanks so much for this post as I have always wondered how someone who is a beginner learning this hobby gets sheets of decorative glass.😉👍🏻 Has anyone ever told you how much you look like the actress Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls? As I was watching you I kept thinking how familiar you looked and then it dawned on me that you look exactly like Lauren Graham. I absolutely loved her in that show and you’re both really beautiful.😍 Weirdly enough my daughter’s name is Rachel too.😂
I'm lucky enough to live close to Delphi, and they have scrap glass pieces in store for around $2 a pound. It is wonderful! I walked out with 50 lbs the other day. I'm just starting out and it is amazing to have lots of colors to choose from without having to buy sheets of each.
That's a great idea! In the meantime, I'll summarize my experience with the glass. It was relatively smooth but had some small texture bubbles in it. My cutting tool would occasionally get stuck on a bubble, but despite this the glass still cut and broke reliably and in the way I intended it to (rather than breaking in some weird, infuriating direction). Not the best glass I've worked with in terms of texture and color, but I dont feel like it was deserving of 1 star on the hobby lobby website
Love your videos. Just found your channel cause I work with welding sculptures and I’ve wanted to try to incorporate stained glass and your tips are so helpful
I took a stained glass class in highschool and loved it! I bought all my tools separately from Amazon cause it was more affordable then buying the starter kits. I am having a hard time finding glass near me other than hobby lobby, have you or can you do a video on temu’s glass? They are very cheap but have good reviews on their website.
I have a wonderful glass supplier, Etsy, Shop: Leslyes Glass Hut". I can not say enough good things about this shop. The owner also helps with choices because it is on line and I can't tell what is what. Example, she suggested glass for skin color. I'm very new to stained glass and never ordered skin tone glass. She has other supplies as well. Shipping is not bad and you receive quickly. I highly recommend her. She sells regular sheets and some are 8"×6", I think. I really think she is awesome!
Timeless Tiffany in Elton Maryland is outstanding with customer service, prices are not bad either The owner runs his store by himself with his wife and mother in law. They are always willing to help you and answer your questions, they are open tues- Saturday. They have a lot of glass and suppiles
I love your personality, and your look is great!! No worries sweetie, 🙋 😀 I'm not a creaper, I'm 55 yrs. Old and my son is 38 and gorgeous! He is my heart! I'm disabled and he moved in with me so he could help me out. He is also an artist / crafter,and sometimes we collaborate with one another to achieve
I'm not sure I do, I'm still practicing glass identification myself! I'll see what I can research and learn :) I hope to be going to some estate sales soon
I've worked with cutting glass and made mosaic pieces but am about to jump into the world of solder pieces lol. I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos (lucky me) and have Def had some questions answered so thanks. Girl I keep eyes out for sales online no matter what so awesome tip, I will see what's in area for glass and I'm sure a trip to hoblob will be in order until then. If there's a way I could reach out eventually on a forum for questions is there a good one you could suggest?
Hopefully you may noticed this message I am a filipino Catholic priest and 6 years ago when I was in Buenos Aires I studied stained glass but unfortunately I was transfered and I don’t know where to but materials 6 years has pass and becuse of online store materials are possible. I am your subcriber and like like your craft. Is it okay to have the pattern and eventually to copy it?
I bought some glass and tools (grinder and saw) from a yard sale. Interested in getting into this so I’m brand new to the field. I got huge sheets of stained glass about 2ft x 3ft. The lady said she bought it from a place that makes it. My question is, how do I know if it’s good glass or not? I think I got a very good deal.
Hi Richard! It's hard to say, and I'm still not the absolute best with identification of glass (although I am getting better). If the person got it from the manufacturer, it's more likely than not good glass. The only "bad" glass I've ever gotten was the thin, made in China glass from Hobby lobby, and even still it's easy to work with. I bet you did get a very good deal, especially now that large sheets like the one you got of specialty glass around anywhere from $50-$80
Do you have a place you love to buy glass from? Let us know in a comment!

If you live in Pa... I promise you it's worth the trip to Youghiogheny Glass warehouse. Esp during one of their BIG sales. (about twice a year).
I am SO glad I read through comments! LOL I live in Pa and let's just say ... ROAD TRIP!! :D

"Didn't hate it" that is an honest testimonial.... Quack. Great information and well presented..
😂😂 I was expecting it to be AWFUL! All the reviews online were 1 star!
Could you do a video about the smoke absorber thing you use when soldering and how you stay safe from the fumes when you solder ?

I'm finishing my stained glass course at Delphi today and totally plan on taking advantage of that bin before I make the 2.5 hour drive home! :)
Great video as always. I LOVE Brooks on Etsy too!! Good people.
Amazon has nice little variety packs so you can decide if you want to make larger purchases elsewhere
Could you elaborate on workability/cutting/breaking/etc bad glass vs good glass? It might make for a good video topic.

Do you have any tips for newbies on glass identification when buying from individuals/estate sales? (As far as age & value goes)
I'm not sure I do, I'm still practicing glass identification myself! I'll see what I can research and learn :) I hope to be going to some estate sales soon
Hi:) I am from Czech Republic
How do you know if an estate sale will have any stained glass?
I've worked with cutting glass and made mosaic pieces but am about to jump into the world of solder pieces lol.

So far I only have small sheets I get on Amazon and I struggle with it is Amazon glass particularly hard to work with? A lot of it is textured
can you make your own glass?
Anything stained glass doesn’t post to Australia 🇦🇺 😭😭
So sad :( I'm sure there's some good australian places
How about we talk about where to get that fancy shirt you got there?!?!
Thrift store!!! Thrift store!!!!

If your new you can get clear glass from a local glass company fairly cheap. Learn your craft then spend your money on the good stuff
