Lindo trabalho parabéns, eu sonho em aprender, mas aqui no Brasil é difícil os curso e os vidro colorido. Mas eu adoraria participar ,vendo seus vídeos.
The courage of these men will never be forgotten. Thank you for the documentary. Lovely score of Elgar, Dvorak too. Have you been to the Suomenliina islands off Helsinki, which were fortified to repel naval invasions?
Bravo. Thank you for uploading the whole documentary. This was a great documentary, especially from an independent film-maker. The narration, the sequencing of all the scenes, and material makes it worthy of more than just a few views on RU-vid. BBC, eat your heart out. In a just world, this video would be promoted by RU-vid and have millions of views within 24hrs. I would have happily listened to some talking heads at the college talk about the chapel, and its history of stained glass. Also, would have been interesting to learn how Petri became a master craftsman. From one stained-glass enthusiast, to another, do you plan to cover any more glass-makers in the future?
Thank you for your kind comments, Gerhard, but I don't think the BBC needs to worry! I did also make another version of this video, which included a contribution from the teacher at the school who was co-ordinating the project talking about some of the imagery portrayed in the windows. However, I did not feel that I could upload it without his permission, and I am not able to contact him. I am not really an enthusiast - I just like making films, and this was a very interesting subject. I shall let Petri know what you said about the video.
@@topgov47 Understandable. Please do pass on my praise to Petri; his treatment of pastoral scenes and wildlife are unique. I suppose there is not much film-making going on these days, but I wondered if you would be interested in another stained glass subject, covering a commission of a window from start to finish? The fabricator is based in Bristol.
@@threethrushes Thank you for the suggestion, Gerhard, but Bristol is some distance from my home so it would be difficult to follow a project in the same way as I could with Petri who lives only a few miles away.
@@threethrushes My wife and I visited Prague for a few days in June 2019 - when the weather was very hot. We have good memories of the city, though we were forced to stay in the hotel every afternoon to escape the heat!
Thank you for your comments. I originally made a longer film (about 30 minutes) which showed more of the different stages and techniques (and had no music!). This shorter version was principally designed as a promotional video for Petri's website.
Beautiful job!!! I'm a glass cutter but I've never done that ; ppl dislikes thinks it's easy, but don't. I'm going to try to do one ,and let see how it fits me. LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK !CONGRATULATIONS!👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👋
Petri has replied as follows: A regular oven won’t work because you need to take the glass up to 670 degrees Celsius. This is way beyond the capabilities of a domestic oven.
Hi Robert I am only a private individual, like yourself I imagine. So I would be unlikely to have any influence over Kingston Custom Garage. I can only suggest you keep trying yourself. I wish you well.
Hi Andrew im a jamaican. bus enthusiast these buses came to jamaica from 53 -69 for Jamaica Omnibus Service . theres one i saw being used as a hostel bus which would be a perfect candidate for restoration & ive been trying to get Kingston Custom Garage interested in doing it as they restore classic cars. & display it in their classic vehicle show .A lot of people take buses for granted but they play their roles in our everyday lives.I'm asking you to reach out to Kingston Custom Garage & get them interested in restoring this historical vehicle to its glory days. ,
Thank you. I believe the artist uses it in order to give him more control over how the paint 'flows'. However, I will check with Petri and let you know if his answer is different.
I have now heard back from Petri. He adds that: "more importantly gum arabic helps the paint stick to the glass so that you can better control the removal of the paint once it has dried. Without the gum the gentlest brushing of the dried paint would completely remove the paint so you wouldn’t be able to lighten it gradually."
Man it is a great work, but I have some questions...What is the composition of the grisaille(the one he uses to draw and gives volume to the figures)? How long is the glass in the kiln for this particular video? and at what Temp? Thanks in advance.
Here is Petri's response: We buy in the grisaille from a company in the states called Reusche. It is a mixture of metal oxides, flux and ground glass. Here is a link to the material data sheet for a similar (but not exactly the same) paint as I used in the video. edhoy.com/pdf/DE404(1).pdf I couldnt find the data sheet for my glass paint but if you contact Reusche & Co and ask for the DE 405 data sheet, I’m sure they would oblige. We take the glass up to 650 degrees and let the kiln cool naturally unvented. A complete firing cycle in the kiln on the video would be half a day.
Thank you for your comment. It gives me great pleasure to make these videos of The FoKAB and to capture some of the essence of their Running Days. They put so much hard work into preserving the buses and keeping them running and in such a fine condition, considering their age (the buses, I mean!)
I have asked the artist and he confirms that he prefers not to use gum Arabic for tracing as it tends to make the paint sticky and prevents it flowing as smoothly as he likes. Some other artists do add a small quantity, but Petri prefers not to.
@@topgov47 thankyou for answering, i had the same question. So what is it that he uses for tracing? Vinegar or water? Im starting to learn and would like to know what is best to mix the paint with (water, vinegar, and gum arabic) for each step of the process. I'd greatly appreciate if you can explain a litttle more on this aspect.
Here is Petri's reply (if you do not understand his reference to Dr Who look it up on the internet): I use vinegar (technically glacial acetic acid diluted with water) for the trace paint. For the shading paint I use water and gum Arabic. If you do choose to buy glacial acetic acid DO NOT SMELL IT! It is potent. Take great care and wear protective clothing. You can get fairly good results with white spirit vinegar. When diluting the acetic acid you need to let it stand a day or two before using it as it doesn’t mix evenly immediately. When it looks clear and there are no Dr Who special effects going on in the bottle ( you will know what I mean if you go down this route), then it’s ready to use. Good luck.
Thank you. If you haven't already seen it you might also enjoy 'Alive and Running' which has footage of all the FoKAB fleet in action on 1 Jan 2013. You can find the link in the information above.
Thank you for your comment - sorry for the delay in replying. Yes I was there (and you can see my video of the day at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cd0h61o2sNI.html if you wish). It was a pity that the rain intervened so heavily, but there were still lots of people enjoying the free rides during the afternoon.

Brilliant, were you there yesterday ? I have just uploaded my video of the day. My favourites are Atlantean and the blue and yellow AEC double decker from Eastbourne.
That coach that appears at 2'37". I was once very sick on it (or an identical one) during an King Alfred's excursion to Swanage in 1964 at the age of 6. I think it was the colours that first set me off. Great that so many buses have been tracked down, acquired and restored. And what a wonderful gesture to give rides to members of the public once a year. If only all owners of preserved buses were so public spirited.
