I appreciate the slower pace of this video with more of your voice over commentary. Hope you make more like this one. Thanks for putting this out there for us!
I love the texture and colors used for this door. Wissmach makes some really nice textures in their glass, like the English Muffle, Mystic, and the Corella Classic you're using on this project.
I've been using there glass for bloody years and I do love it. I'd really like to visit the factory at some point in the future over in Paden City and see it being made 🫶
@@LightLeadedDesigns If you do get a chance to tour their factory, you also might want to do the Kokomo Glass factory tour in Indiana. That's the oldest stained glass maker in the US and had Louis Comfort Tiffany as one of their earliest customers.
I have a glass panel that I need to take apart and do some repairs. I had the entire piece cut, fitted, leaded and ready for solder, but it was late and I decided to do the soldering when I got home from work the following evening. My ex-husband thought he could do what I was doing and while I was at work he took it apart, re-cut and refit pieces that already fit perfectly, and he made the grain of the glass for the leaves go cross-wise not flowing with the pattern anymore, he had everything so tight that the background grid pattern was off and the whole entire window was out of square, he had it soldered and DAP'd by the time I got home from work and he's all proud of himself like, TA-DAAH!!!! And I'm just standing there shaking, holding in my temper and resisting the urge to crack him over the head with it. I love the pattern but I can't stand to look at the piece. I still have the original pattern, just not sure if I should cut apart the one he ruined and reuse what pieces I can or start fresh with new glass. Would it be worth it?
Aww this sounds so frustrating! Bless him for trying tho. As it sounds like they'd only be a few pieces of glass that would be salvageable so I'd be tempted to start afresh, a clean slate and all that. He's a cheeky monkey 😂
Hey buddy I'm in the UK all my suppliers are based over here but I have heard of a supplier over there called Mongos, website www.artglassville.com they are supposed to be good 💚
Panie Janie , czy możliwy jest kontakt z Panem? I jeszcze coś ciekawego. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nvpK3bwiX6U.htmlsi=wZUGBD4o9gANmILz
Awww cheers buddy, tbh it blow me away when I get crazy numbers like that just viewing so I don't mind! Although I'm sure the 'likes' would help the RU-vid algorithm 😂😂😂 cheers for watching 🍺
I've been using them since I started 27+ years now. This is the second I've bought and they are available to buy from Pearsons Glass in the UK but I'm not sure if they ship internationally 💚
The way this video is made is a state of art itself besides its content 😍 Jan, thanks for your videos! You spend your time making them. This discloses the mystery of masterpieces being born❤
Ever since you told me you modified some small screwdrivers for the cement & me having gone & dulled a couple scratch awls, I use them all the time in glazing wood sash windows. Thanks for the tip bud!
This is what RU-vid should be all about. Not people just having a rant or young girls pouting at the camera. People show casing their skills. Very impressive. I’m a retired plasterer that served a 6 year apprenticeship. I started at 15 and became a tradesman at 21, a proper apprenticeship . Today you can go on a weekend training course and become a tradesman. Bravo to you sir you have an amazing skill & I hope you pass your knowledge on to a deserving young person. 👏👏👏👏
Another lovely piece Jan. A question about the Csme though. How do you adjust for the thickness of it when you plan your cuts? Is the lines on your pattern the width of the came per sey?
Quick question. I’ve seen some videos where people use whiting to both help polish the glass and harden the cement. Do you ever use that? I tried it and it was the messiest part of the whole process. lol
I loved to make little Christmas tree lights from glass like this - great texture with clear glass to reflect lights already on trees. Me - total beginner.
It's different for every project as pretty much every project is a commission for a new client. Once I have the inspiration I draw the 'to scale' design for the project 🍻
@@LightLeadedDesigns I want to learn lead work. Watching you makes me think I’ll never find a teacher as good and I’ve ask round. I can cut glass and do foil and do a passing job of soldering but wish I’d have started with lead. Do you know of a school ? Trying to learn this on your own is a little difficult sometimes.
