A most informative video. Thankyou Ma'am. My late wife was into doing the wire tendrals and once I found an old jewelers rolling mill on line for $60 so I bought it so she could flatten the wire designs a little faster. The mill also gave her the ability to change the gauge of the wire from heavey to light. I found some of her cartoons hidden away so for our children I'm making those unseen deigns. A thought rail tracks have a radiused top but if you make a base to turn your track upside down the bottom is flat and much bigger so making something flat would be a lot easyer. Thankyou and God bless.
I really love the wire embellishments you have incorporated into the basic stained glass. The beads and glass nuggets really add some color to this artwork too. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, I bought some stained glass from an artist that retired from doing glass, I guess she did all the pizza hut stained glass back in the day. Well I've had it for many years because I couldnt get the cutting quite right, but I didnt realize I needed a glass grinder! Teehehehehee. I thank you for your tutorials. You are a very good teacher.
Your videos are the best! Learning these techniques and applying them to my beginner projects will make them so much less hideous! 😊 Thanks so much. Please make more videos.
Hi Virginia, I wash the piece with Dawn dish soap and hot water, I then rinse with hot water, spray with vinegar and a final rinse. After drying I go over the piece with steel wool, apply patina (if using) and rinse with cold water. I use Mothers Carruba wax on the piece and buff with a soft rag. I use a toothbrush to get in between the crevices.
Can you show how you tin the nuggets please? I enjoy using nuggets but they are very fiddly. I love your tip on burnishing them. Game changer! I've spent hours laboriously burnishing. I also see you used black backed foil?
The gloves used here are not heat resistant and we do not recommend using them. A better choice would be to hold the piece with pliers, a jig or held in place with a wooden hobby stick.
Thanks for your comment Cyndi. We pound the wire flat just to give the piece a "hammered" texture. This looks nice when black patina is used and then wiped lightly with a very fine steel wool. The surface takes on a weathered/used look and that's when the texture really looks nice. Thanks again for visiting our channel.

Thank you so much, sorry for your loss. How wonderful that you will put together projects from her cartoons, I'm sure they will treasure them!
I love your thoughts on "there are no mistakes, just creative opportunities!" Thank you for the confidence boost!
Very easy, creative,and helpful Thanks!
For you beginners, "tinned" wire means the copper wire has been coated with solder.
Beautiful work ❤

You videos are always great information. Thank you
Excellent video - I learned so much. Thank you!!
I’m so inspired! Ty ✨
Wow, beautiful 🤩
Hi I love this video. 2 questions. Where do I get this pattern and do you put hobby came around the suncatchers? Love love to watch your videos.
Hi i been doing stained glass for years and you taught me a lot here. Where can I get the pattern for this lovely piece.
Oh my goodness! Shaking the nuggets in a container is genius. 😮
Can you show how you tin the nuggets please? I enjoy using nuggets but they are very fiddly. I love your tip on burnishing them. Game changer! I've spent hours laboriously burnishing. I also see you used black backed foil?
Yes, black backed for most applications but if the nugget is clear and the glass around it is also clear, it's better to use silver backed foil.
Very informative
Lindo , muito lindo❤ visto no Brasil.
Do you need to grind the edges of the nuggets to make the foil stick better?
No, just wash with soap and water and dry completely. Thank you for your question.
Great fun, thanks
Are the gloves a certain kind?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. What brand of gloves do you use. Are they heat and cut resistant.
Thanks
The gloves used here are not heat resistant and we do not recommend using them. A better choice would be to hold the piece with pliers, a jig or held in place with a wooden hobby stick.
Thank you!!
I really enjoy your videos. It may just be me, but I find the audio difficult to hear at times.
Will you share what type of soldering iron you use, please?
We use Weller 100 watt soldering irons. They are reliable and with proper care can last a number of years.
What type of flux do you use?
Hi Leah, I use Classic 100 Gel Flux. I've been using this for over 15 years. I find it has less sputtering and there is no cloud of smoke.
Why do you make it flat?
Thanks for your comment Cyndi. We pound the wire flat just to give the piece a "hammered" texture. This looks nice when black patina is used and then wiped lightly with a very fine steel wool.
