Great attention to the details and the explanation of what and you are doing and why. Easy speaking pace to follow along. I love the idea of using the putty. It is certainly an affordable path to hold the panels together, versus spending $30 for a custom made jig. Amazing work!
When I use textured glass I slightly tilt the glass when doing the final grind to grind a smooth area all the way around the piece. This helps stop the foiling from tearing when burnishing.
Thank you so much for posting a video of the whole process without speeding it up! I don't have any specialized stained glass teachers in my area, so this helps out TREMENDOUSLY 💚
During a cut it helps to be sure to apply pressure all the way through from edge to edge. If you don't follow through and stop applying firm pressure at the end of your cut, the glass will still break, but it takes more persuasion or it's more likely to break in multiple areas. I think some nipper pliers would be helpful too
With the variable temp soldering iron, can you tell us what temp you were using? Or what you use normally? Thanks. *Ordered your pattern and am making this, this week! 1st project ever.
@Creative Chaos By Erica awesome, my mom did stained glass when I was a child. She passed down all of her supplies to me. I basically know the process from watching her do every step during my childhood. But I am trying to watch some videos to make sure I am giving myself a good review. My studio space is almost ready to go and I'm so excited to start making pieces. It was nice to watch the whole process from start to finish. Plus I have been wondering how to make those 3d cacti. I got a lot of great info from your video and I appreciate you putting it out! Can't wait to see what you put out next!
Great job on your video. It looks like you could use some more water in your grinder. This will reduce the chance of breaking the glass, and extend the life of your bits.

Great video...what temperature do you have your soldering iron set at for the cactus?
Have you tried out grosing pliers for the small break offs?
I have added them into my arsenal of tools :)
Thanks!
Where can I get a pattern for this?
Where are more videos! I love the cactus
The next video I’ll be making is a sunflower how to 💛 the pattern will also be available on my Etsy
