IF I haven’t said it before, you are absolutely,one of THER BEST stain glass artist that I have seen on UA-cam!! Your attention to detail rates your pieces too if the line! (imho)
You're so kind - thank you so much!
Watching how you lay out your pieces so compactly and execute your cuts was especially helpful - thank you! This is something I'm still working on, not wanting to waste glass yet wanting to ensure I get a clean cut.
Exactly! There's a fine line between being compact enough to not waste so much glass, and being too compact where you don't get clean cuts. I could have placed some of the blue background pieces closer together, but I wanted to try and maintain a consistent texture flow while allowing room to execute those deep curves.
I learned how to do this SO differently!! You're tutorial gave me so many shortcuts as well as tools I had no idea existed!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
It's kind of amazing how many different methods and techniques there are in this craft!
idk why this was on my raccomended because ive never watched a stained glass video in my life but watching u cut the glass like that was mesmerizing
Haha that's so weird, the algorithm for recommended videos is perplexing. Glad you enjoyed a little bit of it 🙂
Love and appreciate you sharing your tip for double grozing pliers!
Hi Samantha, I just want to let you know that I started my stained glass journey this July and you are such an inspiration to me. The way you show and explain every step.. Thank you for your videos, tips and everything. Your work is truly amazing!🧡
I'm so happy that you've found my videos helpful! I feel like I just ramble sometimes. 🤣 I hope you're enjoying the craft!
Your work is spectacular, love learning from you. I'm in the process of gathering the required equipment and supplies and can't wait to get started. I would like to see a video with your input and advice on establishing a hobby business.
Another beautiful project and excellent video! Thanks so much ❤
Another great video…thanks so much❤️❤️
Muchas gracias. ❤
I was so excited to see another one of your tutorials up 🥳 It's great timing because I'm about to try using zinc came, so thank you for showing how you apply it. You videos have so much more information than any books I've found--I'll be first in line if you ever decide to write a stained glass how-to book! Thanks so much Samantha.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find my videos helpful! 🤗
Hi Samantha! I am new-ish to stained glass- I’ve never seen anything like that reeded glass you used for the border, but I love it! What brand is it?
I'm not entirely sure. It's an old sheet that I had. The Iridescent coating reminds me of old spectrum glass. I do know that bullseye makes an iridescent prismatic reed - the iridescence is just more subtle.
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass thank you! I wondered if it was old Spectrum! That was my guess as well!
Hi Samantha! I just bought one of these little cut-off saws and I'm just waiting for it to arrive. I've heard that the blade that comes with these saws isn't the best for metal. But yours seems to be working great--did you purchase a different blade to go with it? Thanks as always for your help :)
No, I'm using the blade that came with it. You just have to take it slow when cutting the metal. If you pull it down hard, the machine seizes up, you need to lower it slowly, let it cut a little, lift it up, and repeat. Hope that makes sense.
Ok, perfect, yes that makes sense, thank you! I'm glad I don't have to order a separate blade. Thank you so much for the speedy reply, and have a cozy night! @@SamanthaAshleyGlass
How do you create the template and just print it out? Do you use Adobe Illustrator? Because your way of cutting glass is very clean. I bought all the materials to due this, but because it's new it takes awhile for me to get to do it. Lol I'm scared.
Here's a video showing how I create my templates. 🙂
ua-cam.com/video/P3nhtCV4uSs/v-deo.htmlsi=xu77VEBOwRuoTR7t
I use Adobe Photoshop, it's just the program I know best.
Hi. In your rainbow tutorial you shared that you use your iron usually at 410 degrees “Celsius “. Which I converted to Fahrenheit and is 770 degrees with 60/40 solder. Is this correct? I appreciate your time! Thank you
Yes, that would be 770°f, that's the temp I solder at when using a 3mm tip, if I use the larger 5mm tip, I like to turn the heat down a little
I love the blue glass you used for the sky! What color is it?
I don't know the exact code, it's spectrum blue waterglass
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass I thought it was a water glass. 🙂Thank you!!
Do you put your texture glass with the texture facing front or back. And why? Also..what was the name of the pliers with the narrow tip? What was the blue patina you mentioned? TIA
I always put my textures facing front because I feel like you can see the texture better, and I personally like the look better that way. To find those pliers, I just searched for "narrow tip grozer." I got mine from Amazon, but I believe Delphi has some too.
If I may add on, the super blue is made by Birchwood Casey. You’ll find it in sporting goods stores/sections, in the gun section. It’s used on firearms as a colorant.
@@dadatschool thanks for the info! I forgot to answer that part of the question.
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass thank you for the information...much appreciated.
@@dadatschool FOUND IT.. thank you for the info
That 1/4 grinder bit is used on a different grinder, right? Can you tell what brand it is? I used to have a small platform on my 'Kristall 1S' for smaller bits but I find that quite annoying to use, tbh 😅
So the grinder bit is from techniglass, but I leave it set up on my glastar all star grinder.
Thank you :) I really like that you dont have to use a sponge on that one :) @@SamanthaAshleyGlass
Hi Ashley, beautiful work as always. Can I ask what make of pen you are using on your glass please? It looks like it stays on real good.
Sorry I meant Samantha, not Ashley😮 I'm getting senile...lol❤
@@attweerer6516 haha I get called Ashley a lot! I use sharpie metallic oil paint markers. They work great!
Samantha, in a past video you scored the glass inside the marker lines. Any reason you didn’t do that here?
I tend to err on the side of caution and just aim for hitting any part of the marker line, sometimes I get nice and close to the inside, and sometimes I don't - it's still a skill I'm working on perfecting. Especially when I'm cutting a piece of glass that I know doesn't like to break well, I'd rather be a little cautious.
Hi Samantha thanks for the video. What cardstock do you use please? It looks really pliable. Is it coated? Is it available on amazon? I'm hoping to use cricut soon. Would the pdf patterns I already bought from you work or would they need teaking?
Hi! If you haven't checked out my cricut video yet, it may answer some of your questions. I use pearlescent cardstock cause it comes off the cutting mat pretty easily (you can find it on amazon - it's on my Amazon storefront). You should be able to upload any of my patterns, because I've created all of my patterns with the same line thickness, you'll just need to resize the image in the cricut app to the correct size of the actual pattern.
@SamanthaAshleyGlass amazing as always ❤️
@SamanthaAshleyGlass gosh I didn't realise you shared your name with a raunchy fiction writer! I just searched your name on Amazon and got a shock lol
@@janerobo5911 Oh that's hilarious!! lol My storefront is amazon.com/shop/samanthaashleyglass if you can't find it. I also have to mention that I earn commissions from the storefront. =)
I absolutely love watching your project making videos. This one turned out beautifully. May I ask what model grinder do you use?
what brand narrow grozing pliers are you using and where did you get them?????
I got a random brand (kent blades) on Amazon. If you go to Delphi's online shop, they have studio pro and top choice brands of narrow pliers
Where did you get the miter saw? I didn’t see it on your Amazon store.
I actually got it from Harbor Freight. I did put one in my "Tools for Stained Glass" list on Amazon. It looks the same as the one I have, but if you have a Harbor Freight near you, the one from them is a little cheaper.
I just bought the pattern. Could you tell me where you got that reeded glass? I found some but it doesn’t have that opal effect. Thank you.
Unfortunately it's some old stock that I inherited from my grandpa. It's discontinued spectrum iridescent reed. You can maybe try doing a Google search for it
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass thank you. The extra words you gave me could help. When I searched last night I just found what looked like glass for a shower door.
21:43 what do you spread with the brush on the glass?
I was putting on classic 100 gel flux - my favorite flux for soldering
what knife do you use
I'm sorry, knife for what?
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass to cut the glass
@@AnnaW194 oh, that's a toyo pistol grip cutter.
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass okay cool thank you
I do love that grid you work on, good for getting those pesky tiny shard down and out of the way.
I would have gone with a half-inch zinc border though, but that's just my taste.
Anyway, I just got a studio again! Whoo hoo, so I can get back to my stained glass.
I was cringing though when you steel wooled that piece. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo LOL Sure if you're extremely carful, but you'r going to put a haze on the glass you you hit it.
Also cotton balls work best for patina.
Don't know if you can even get carnuba or Butchers wax, you might try those.
Yeah, the size of the came for such a small panel is definitely a personal preference, since it doesn't need much for structural stability. Half inch would have been way too big for my taste. As far as steel wool goes, I'm going to have to disagree with you there, I've been using super fine steel wool for many many years, it does not put a haze on the glass. Cotton balls may work best for you, but there is more than one way to do it. Clarity finishing compound is carnauba wax with polishing agents. I do have solid carnauba wax, but clarity is always my go to.
I hope you enjoy getting back into your stained glass studio!
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass Of course *smile everyone has different preferences and methods. I hope you didn't think I was criticizing, just suggesting things I do.
I only mention the steel wool, because while you are good at this, someone may not know to use supper fine and end up scratching their piece. Also depending on the actual glass, some are softer than others and more easily scratched.
Yes, I've been doing traditional stained glass and repair for over 20 years. I had to move and for 2 years I've had nowhere to work. Ugh. But I do now. Yea!
@@Art_911 that's a fair point, we don't want anyone grabbing a high grade of steel wool and completely ruining their project! Also no worries, there are some people who truly believe there's only one right way to do everything, and they can be quite vocal about it. I've experimented with so many different methods/supplies/tools, and they all give pretty similar results in my experience.
Oh wow, you must be antsy to get back at it! I first learned this craft in 2001, but I was only 13, so I only worked on projects sporadically at my grandpa's house, until I was able to set up a home studio.
