I really love that you included your mistakes! As a beginner, it is inspiring to see not only that mistakes are made by everyone, but the way you tackle the problem and find the solution is spot on. Great job and thank you! Best way to learn is by mistakes. In the end, the pieces were perfect.
Thanks for noting that! Mistakes happen all the time and I rarely get through a perfect project 😂 Getting it right in the end is super satisfying for sure.
There was a triangle shelf video I watched recently that I also appreciated the mistake because I could totally see myself doing the same, and to show the easy fix was satisfying
You need a pair of stained glass scissors. They cut a small amount away from the edges of your pattern to allow for the thickness of tape you add later and save having to waste tape by re grinding
Thanks for the video. So happy to see more stained glass channels that show how to do it without tons of tools and equipment. If you putty your lead came piece you may end up with have a better hold on the glass, and when you brush it with a coir brush and whiting, it will darken the came and take care of any scratch marks. Also, I've rarely seen such an impeccably clean grinder. 😄
man can i just say that i am just getting back into stained glass and made a christmas list based on what you use. now i have basically the same set up, but inland grinder lol
For hanging loops, I was taught to use a piece of wire long enough to be soldered an inch or so either side of the loop to make sure it's strong enough. Love the glass choices here.
This is really a beautiful corner piece and it doesn’t matter what color do you use it is classic no matter where you hang it yes it is classic design and I really love it. You do such nice work♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ you also do very nice soldering to make your pieces look stunning and I always learn something from you every time I watch your videos. I know this video is old and I watched it before but I have been revisiting your videos to refresh in my mind on Stainglass techniques since I’m not able to solder lately😂😂
Maby you like that video... "Wie man ein Kirchenfenster macht" by Swr Habdwerkskunst. Its in german but you can see some interesting tools. Thanks for your video!
I am a stained glass newb and I must say I love your videos! Love the style of quick transitions thru the grinding process and including your mistakes. Seeing how you get through a project helps me think through mine a bit more and be more forgiving when I make mistakes of my own. Going to have to give this design a try!
I've seen people line the outer edges with foil and strategically solder the bordering lead came to the foil on the outer edges to avoid that pulling off in designs like this, where there's a long edge of lead came with no solder points. It still has that super clean look you get from came, but I imagine it takes some practice to make it look so good haha
Like watching your videos, retiring soon and going to get back into stain glass, I believe there’s a special pair of scissors you use to cut out your pattern that takes out a skinny piece of paper that represents the thickness of the copper foil or lead came.
You're right Jesse, the lead shears or foil shears could help. In my case, this was error from tracing and forgetting about keeping all sides equal at all times. Happy retirement!
This is an older video so you probably know how to widen your lead hobby came channel now but, for those who don't, you can use a fid at an angle and run it through the channel. This should widen the channel enough so the glass will fit. 😊

Use a fid to open up the hobby came slightly.
love it that you show the "oops" along with the perfect pieces
On the non-copper foiled one, just copper foil the long edge, then you can hang without sag. Thanks. Nice show.

Hey RK, thanks for tips. Would've helped for sure. yea the grinder stays pretty clean due to lack of use 😂
man can i just say that i am just getting back into stained glass and made a christmas list based on what you use. now i have basically the same set up, but inland grinder lol
I love how you showed two ways to do it on the same type of project, it was really nice to see the comparison.
I copper foil then use hobby came around the perimeter x

Certainly a smart thing to do for strength, thanks for the tip!
Really cool. I like that you have multiple ways to hang it! 😌
Best to have options 😁
Thank you! I am new to stained glass and you have given great tips.
Wow sir another beautiful art to learn thank you so much for sharing this valuable knowledge.
FF2023, it came to mind that using a fid to open the hobby came channel a bit for a tad thicker glass might work instead of redong glass or came.

Love your channel. Please keep posting as I am learning so much from you.
Enjoyed you and loved your beginner stained glass

Love your lessons! More projects for beginners please 🙏🙏Happy holydays 🎄🎄🌟💕

Oh that sounds like a nice trick but I'll have to figure out how they do it in the first place 😅
Love your projects, specially beginners! Very inspirational 🙏🌟
Thank you so much!

Thank you! This job is amazing!!
Hello from little Russian city🤗
Thank you so much!!
nice work bud. but it is important to stretch any came otherwise your project will eventually sag.
Hello!! Do you have any suggestions on how to copper foil textured glass?
Thank you! Love your channel!

Do you use CJ’s flux remover as well as the Kwil Clean? Thanks
Nice detail on those two pieces...! What is the name of that glass holder you're using?
You think its possible to 3D print (resin or filament) the channles (came) and use some kind of glue to assemble it together. Curious 🤔
Hey not a bad idea if it holds up!
I couldn't get stained glass can I use any paints to stain my glass
Where did you get your vice device to hold your project while you put on the jump rings? I'm really in need of something like that!
