Hi Sophie - the gift you were making in this video was for me from my brother and sisters on my 60th birthday. It was reminder of the beautiful stained glass window in my old flat, which was in part of an old bank building in Holyhead, North Wales. It’s great to see how it was made - thank you so much for all your hard work and attention to detail in making it, it’s perfect! A beautiful and original gift 😊
Great to hear from you. It was a pleasure to make. I really liked it actually. Ger showed me photos of the windows - they were truly stunning. And I have to say, I really enjoyed your rendition of Video Killed the Radio Star - had me grinning from ear to ear! Great start to my day!
@@SophiesStainedGlass Aw, thank you!
I don't know why, but I always feel really relaxing watching your vids. And I can learn stuff too which is always fun. So thank you for that, love your work. 💚
So glad you like them!
I love to see a craftsman at work!
:-)
I've gotten really interested in stained glass making recently and just wanted to say i enjoyed this video.
Thanks for your comment.
This has inspired me to start again. I hope my lead is still workable! Framing is definitely something I need to know more about, I look forward to that video 🙏
Good luck!
Love your tutorials!!!
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome!
Always inspired by your work❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
I always learn some new technique from watching your videos :) This time, using a piece of scrap lead so the nails don't chip the edge of the glass. One question: do you use lead with different heart heights? Otherwise it might be hard to get the overlap with your edging pieces
No, I'm more rough and ready than that!
Brilliant
Thanks :-)
Grazie😊
pleasure!
Awesome! Could you also hang the piece with a chain? I understand the came could sag. But would 12mm border came hold, if the piece is small enough?
If you do try hanging your piece by the lead, make sure your loops are positioned at a joint - mitigates the sag a bit.
Thank you for the video. Very nice. At what temperature do you set the soldering iron if I may ask. Thank you
370 degrees c. You might find my book helpful which is crammed full of all this sort of info. amzn.to/3W1B5OC
Hi looks great! what was the black pigment? Just a bit of reushe black powder?
It's pigment.
Hi! Love love love watching you work and your completed pieces!
Question…do you use H channel lead on the border when you’re going to frame the piece and U channel lead when not placing in a frame?
Thank you!!
No, H for both. I mostly make architectural panels where H lead is always used on the outside.
Does the u crossection crunch up more than the H section, what is the tool you use for cutting the came Sophie it makes light work of it@@SophiesStainedGlass
And that's what it's all about! haha
;-)
How are you curling that lead..?? That's the bit I needed and it was sped up...
I have a series on difficult leading don in real time. This is one of them ua-cam.com/video/Z6NO5b-cqzc/v-deo.html or if you prefer, go into the settings on UA-cam and play the video slowed down.
Thank you for the video Sophie can I ask do you cut to the inside of the black patterns? Also how do formulate the design - what thickness etc do the lines need to be and is there any software which can help with this?

If these aren't what you need let me know.
Could this be done in a regular wooden window frame?
Yes
Do you stretch your lead came before cutting?
Yes. I just don't do it on camera.
what is the white powder you used for the glass?
It's called whiting. Basically it's chalk dust.
G'day Sophie, just wanted to give your videos a thumbs up and hit that subscribe button from down under in Australia. If it's not too much trouble, could you chuck in a shoutout about the materials you snagged for this project and where you picked 'em up? Cheers!
Thanks for your message and for your support. I get my glass and paint from a shop in Reading and the frames I get from an online framers. Not sure how much this helps you in Aus! And of course, Amazon is always worth checking out as they do rule the world and everything in it!
Enjoy your videos but this seemed to really speed through the important parts
Sorry about that. There's probably another video which will focus on the thing you are particularly interested in.
