Sir , How much Width (height ) of stained glass 3 mm 5mm to be used for this kind of work ?
I gifted my granddaughter with a 12 hour stained glass class for her 14th birthday and enrolled me as well. Last Saturday we had our first class and I learned more about cutting glass watching your video that I did during the entire class. Thank you so much. I'm from OK now but originally from PA and bought a small TT after my husband dies in 2020. My dog and I travel together and just might show up on your doorstep next summer! I fell in love with stained glass after just the first class and since it's just me and Clancy in campsites I plan to take this new skill on the road with me.
Please stop by! Let us know when you are coming so we can make sure we’re here. Sounds so exciting! Thanks for watching and stay awesome!
I'm going to retire in a few months and have decided to learn to make stained glass. I live in a small Texas town that offers no classes of any kind so I've been watching you tube videos. Yours are the best I've seen. I have a feeling I'll be binge watching you for awhile.
Thank you! We’re here to help you learn and grow as a stained glass artist. Please come to our livestream on Mondays at 7pm and learn even more.

Thank you. We hope we are teaching what people want to learn. Much appreciation.

There's something exciting about the controlled breaking of glass. I did a little practice cutting a while back before getting sidetracked onto other hobbies. I'm looking forward to getting back to it.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot, you are a very good teacher!!

Great stuff. Thank you from Australian
Thank you for watching!
Excellent presentation
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I’m new to this art form and want to learn all that I can. I’m most interested in learning the different names & types of glass. I have all of these tools and much more as I recently inherited my grandmother’s stained glass studio. I have already had one beginners class, then wouldn’t you know it COVID came along. So I appreciate what you two are doing so very much and will keep tuning in for sure.
Yes we will have a show coming up to talk about the different types of glass. Thanks for watching!
@@ARTyRV that’s great! Thank you both so much!
@@ARTyRV Can you also talk about "why" this type of glass over another? such as historic types of glass, which types are typically seen or used together, etc.
Why am I not getting the videos past video 1. I thought it was supposed to be a new video every Monday. Thank you
We are now live every Monday 7pm Est. We offer a Glass Chat, Q&A, and a glass cutting Demo. This is the link for tonight. You can also watch this on the rerun. ua-cam.com/users/livepHUi_e7Xs34?feature=share
I enjoy ur video’s
Thank you for watching!
Hi Ed, I'm in Saluda SC and just now learning stained glass. My first project is a big one - a 19 inch window. I am gathering materials now and studying your videos.
Good to hear from you! Thanks for watching. Our next video will talk about the planning of color and why and how we choose the glass. Also, how to plan cutting and then some actual cutting techniques that will help to make your pieces fit together perfectly.
Good luck on your project!
@@ARTyRV great, looking forward to it.
Wow! Baby bites!
Is there a right side to class? With so many kinds of glass with patterns, please show how to choose the side to cut.
Always cut on the smooth side.
What is the material/paper you have on your table ? Great tutorial. Thank you.
Question: is copper foil as strong as a leaded window. I like copper foil for ease of construction but have never heard about the difference in strengths. Just a thought. Love your videos. Thanks.
On larger windows we use copper foil, painting, copper overlays, and add leading for structure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I'm curious about running the cutter off the edge of the glass. Do you do anything to make sure it doesn't affect the cutter, or do you have to do any upkeep on the cutter? I've read not to do it because it can dent the wheel but then I'm having trouble getting the cut to run all the way at the end!
That should not be a problem. Are you cutting on a wooden or carpeted table? Just don't drop it on the floor. Is your cutter skipping?
Thankyou, it was hard to see the cutting effects with the glass being clear and a white benchtop, would have been better to use coloured glass for visuals.
Thank you for watching. We do have a few new cutting videos. Here’s a short one you might like ua-cam.com/video/CN0cc1y8KgM/v-deo.html. Have a great weekend!
Awesome video Ed! Question.....What is the name of the circle cutter you used in the video? Thank you
A link to the Glastar Circle Strip Cutter we use is here www.conwayglass.com/artyrv
Thank You. I am new to this and have not had any success yet, but your video was very helpful and I’ll keep trying. Curious, do you use glass cutting oil? Thank You so much
Yes we use cutting oil.
Thanks for watching!
Where do you order your class from
Excellent tips on cutting glass Ed...! Question for you re the cutting the circle glass... How would I go about cutting a circle and saving or keeping the outer portion part of the glass and doing away with the inner circle part of the glass, using those tools? Thanks...
Ed said that’s a long story!
Hey Ray, Ed seeing if he can still do that . But he doesn’t text so a phone call maybe?
Hi I love your classes. I have only been working on the foil method and I am wondering what is the largest size I can create and hang and it still maintain its strength? No lead came involved. Thanks, Kathy
Great question! We’re answering your question on the live Q&A Monday at 7 pm Est. Thanks for watching . Please tune in or you can watch the reruns.
I will definitely be joining! Thanks, Kathy
Hi, is the glass storage rack behind you a repurposed magazine rack or is it specially made? Thank you
It is specially made.
Is it possible to update the links? None of the links worked. Thanks. I'm excited to continue with your videos as I have not been able to cut class successfully yet.
Let me check
My husband and I live in Central Oregon where would you suggest getting stained glass supplies other than Michaels or Hobby Lobby?
I would look at Amazon Prime (free shipping). We have a beginner kit that we sell on our website and links on our website for Amazon supplies. Thanks for watching.
when cutting the glass do you keep moving across the glass in a continuous motion?
Yes.
What temperature degree should the weather be when you solder?
I’m in Florida and solder in my carport. It’s 57 degrees.
Just adjust your iron a little higher with a reostat when the temp is lower.
@@ARTyRV thank you!
Hi, just a quick very beginner question, with the running pliers, there is a little screw on it that no-one ever talks about, when I got mine I assumed I should set it first to the thickness of the glass then turn it 1 to 2 times more to place pressure rather than squash. Hope I'm doing that correctly. No glass is the same so can't set and forget?
Screw the top of the running pliers until they close completely. Then you can use the running pliers on any thickness of glass. You’ll then control the pressure to run the score. Thanks so much for watching. We’ll be talking about this at the Livestream, Monday at 7pm.
@@ARTyRV thank you
Hello. I've just started to learn about stained glass. I mark around my template pieces then cut and they are perfect but when I try to put the pieces together they just don't seem to fit! It's driving me up the wall. Can you please tell me what's going wrong?
Did you allow space for the copper foil by using foil shears? Do your template pieces fit your pattern? After you grind your pieces, does each piece of glass fit within the pattern?
Where is the best priced place to get these tools and glass from ?
+Karen Mills maybe visit your local stained glass retailer. If they don’t have what you need visit Amazon. We have links to many of the supplies we use in our videos at conwayglass.com/artyrv
Also, watch our live stream on Mondays. This week our live stream immediately follows our new video premiering at 7pm. Hope we see you there!
@@ARTyRV I did !!
oh my gosh scared and excited... like a kid first day at a new school... LEB Glass Greenville super friendly and well I am hooked ....and all I've done is cut the pattern, numbered, and picked out glass and cut it... Tuesday night get to grind ....
How thick is the clear glass? Mine is so thin it breaks when I am practicing.
Clear glass should be 1/8 thick

Where are you located?
South Carolina
Back when I was in High School and we were studying stained glass, our teacher told us to squeeze tennis balls in our hands to strengthen the necessary tendon in our wrists if we were having trouble scoring our glass.
Good idea! You could also use a pistol grip cutter if your wrist strength is weak.
@@ARTyRV I wonder if those came after my day in the mid-90s. ;) But then again, High Schools are tight wads with money when it comes to the Arts. But for athletics they can't write the check fast enough.
@@witchplease77 yes probably too expensive. For the school budget. Great you had a class in High School though!
@@ARTyRV I really wish she had taught us to throw pottery on the wheel, but when she changed her classes my Jr. year (from Art I, II, II, and IV to individual disciplines like drawing, painting, crafts and ceramics), she'd only permit students in her ceramics class to throw on the potter's wheel if they already knew how. :P I'm in my 40s and it's something I still want to learn. :)
@@witchplease77 schools traditionally cut the glass and pottery classes first. It’s never to late to learn though!
