      Hello, I probably won't be releasing the pdf plan files as they can be used to create products that I am currently working on producing.
      I did look into making oversize prints and selling those on my website for the cost of printing, but they're expensive- about $100 which seems to work against economy DIY projects.
      Any suggestions?

    I just found your video while looking for a way to repurpose leaded glass door inserts. They already have a gothic arch, so I need something easy to shape. This might be exactly what I need, but how do you think the strength of the foam board would hold up to a 1x4.5 leaded glass?? Thanks so much for this beautiful project!

    • @SeizetheDIY
      @SeizetheDIY  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching! Glad it could help you… the foam is strong but idk if it can hold leaded glass. I used to have a workshop by a stained glass artist and his work was VERY heavy. I think I’d probably use the same technique I show in the video but with wood.

    • @SeizetheDIY
      @SeizetheDIY  Рік тому

      Thanks so much! Designing it was the most time consuming but cutting and building it took a couple standard work days on a weekend. I think it can be simplified down to 2 layers of foam which would be faster but would lose a little depth.

    I love how your window turned out.
    I have seen a lot of various foam board projects on YT.
    When I purchased my house the previous owners left a whole bunch of it along with cherry wood paneling, all kinds of tiles and other building materials. I think he must of did home remodeling and construction. He built a super cool treehouse; my grandkids love it. Very well made. I could see doing something like this to the windows. They were moving out of state so they left quite a bit of stuff which some I have already found use for as I love up-cycling.
    I do wall murals and I like the 3D effects.

      btw, I checked out your channel- while I really love your guitar work, it's probably not a genre I'd consider for my videos if it's the style that you had in mind for my soundtracks. Regardless, nice work man!
