When I started my stained glass journey 30 years ago I purchased all of my starting supplies and my glass from Cavallini, I continued to buy supplies there until I left San Antonio. I'm so happy to see you are still there. Great products, service and always able to ask questions or opinions.

Fran, thank you for your kind words. Happy to help any way we can.

Thanks for this awesome overview! Additionally I recommend using ffp3 masks, while sanding glass, so you don’t get glass dust particles into your lung, cloaking up over time. Also you could use an art scalpel for cutting your paper templates. This way you cut paper sheets almost like you cut the glass. In addition you have much more control over the line thickness and be much more precise then with scissors. It is common among architects and designers, handling paper and likewise materials.

@Mr.StainedGlass 4 месяца назад

Awesome advice, I'll have to check out that art scalpel.

@debikutzer2774 2 месяца назад

Silberschnitts for curves are a game changer. And colored carbon paper allows you to trace your pattern to darker glass without cutting the pattern.

@Mr.StainedGlass 2 месяца назад

I like the color carbon paper idea! A bit of work retracing but if you have no other option, seems easier than cutting out a pattern and tracing it

@Strawberrymomma76 9 месяцев назад

When you use regular scissors.. are you cutting down the middle of the black line? I’ve been just cutting out on either side of the pattern line. Time consuming for sure. How do you make allowances for lead or solder. I hate my pattern sheets!! And.. your channel has been the best instructional one I’ve found!! Thank you so much!!

@Mr.StainedGlass 9 месяцев назад

Happy to help! For copper foil, straight down the black line using regular scussors. For leaded glass, I'll use the copper foil pattern shears to allow for the heart of the lead. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist you.

@DocRocket144 Месяц назад

Hi Mr. Stained Glass, I'm new to your channel. Thanks for these videos. They are very helpful. I'm retired and just getting back into working with glass after a 40 year hiatus. I find I spend an awful lot of time grinding due to poor cutting and grozing skills. Especially with smaller sized pieces. I suppose it will improve with practice. Any advice on how to practice? Also, I am shopping for a new grinder as the one I have is quite old. Do you have a mid priced one you would recommend? Thank you!

@Mr.StainedGlass Месяц назад

Hi! The best way really is to just keep practicing. It may be wise to buy some cheap 1/8" clear glass just to practice scoring. Gryphon gyphette is a nicely priced smaller grinder. We use them often.

@albertshilton5336 11 дней назад

Great video. I am making several windows that will be exposed to wind and weather. Should I use copper foiling or lead for that environment. My project is a for a charity and I am paying for the glass. Where’s the best place to buy large quantities of glass with a fair price and inexpensive shipping online?

@Mr.StainedGlass 8 дней назад

We sell on our website. Cavalliniglass.com I recommend leaded windows

@zl6059 5 месяцев назад

Great video! if I want to use square pieces of stained glass to create my piece, what's the smallest size of squares you recommend to use? ( the picture is very small, so I must use small pieces)

@Mr.StainedGlass 5 месяцев назад

Probably 1/2 to 1inch is the smallest!

Very informative video. I have a question about glass cutters. How do i know if the head needs to be replaced? I'm fairly new at this, I've only done a few panels so far. It feels like I'm not getting a good score line but it could be just my technique. I might be pressing way too hard with the cutter. I'm finding that I'm doing a lot of grinding because of rough jagged edges.

@Mr.StainedGlass 8 месяцев назад

Rough jagged edges means that you are not holding cutter at a 90 degree angle to the glass, it's slightly angled to the left or right. Especially prevalent on curved edges. Try cutting on some scrap glass and purely focus on the cutter being perfectly perpendicular to the glass. Break those and see if you're having the same problem. Also make sure your cutter is oiled up

@jacquibell4408 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, I'll work on it!

@LyubomirIko 9 месяцев назад

I am not into this craft, just love it. Have you seen the technique of cutting glass under water? The glass behave so different under water, you can cut it with scissors! Wonder if professionals use or can use this trick somehow...

🤣 I'll give it a shot!

@williamweiss1096 2 месяца назад

Your shop looks like Delphi, when you mark pattern on glass, your mark stays? spray adhesive, cut pice, spray on back, adhere to glass, cut to line. residue washes off then use glass

@Mr.StainedGlass 2 месяца назад

Never been there! Our facility is ~30k sqft. It stays well enough to get the first score off and an initial round of grinding. Occasionally may have to remark if your score was really off. I find the cutting of the pattern, gluing, etc is a big hassle personally! But it works!

@@Mr.StainedGlass 🥲one of the greatest tools I've used as a beginner! I encourage you to try them, they are a little pricy.

@Art_911 7 месяцев назад

Good info. But Pattern shears should not exist LOL I have taught Stained glass for many years, and only one student stuck with pattern shears. They dull quickly, they are usually not the correct "gap". Just say no to pattern shears LOL Regular scissors and Xacto blades are best IMHO.

@Mr.StainedGlass 7 месяцев назад

I agree James thanks for the tip!
