I found the perfect glass!! (Rescuing a 120 year old house) 

Before the shop closes, get more glass. You never know if something breaks while the construction continues!

Make your bedding roll smaller about 6mm in diameter and place it closer the middle edge of the frame and don’t smash it down let the glass do that when you set it. When you do the fill on the opposite side it will lock the window in even though the glazing putty is still soft. You can install all of the glass after the frames are installed with no worries of the glass falling out.

Laura, I can't imagine life anymore without the house renovation series. 😢 Please buy another one when this ends up. "Rescuing a 200 years house for Felix!"

Hi Laura, the windows are lovely but you need to use a LOT less putty. A tiny, thin worm of putty is all that is needed. You ought to have hardly any putty on the actual frame. Great first effort though.

If you're painting over linseed oil based putty, try to find linseed oil based paint (which uses turpentine as thinner instead of white spirit) so that putty and paint slowly harden together, otherwise the putty can pull the paint into wrinkles as it dries out further. With steel frames putty stays soft for a much longer time than wooden frames and it's probably a good idea to support the glass against sagging outward while the putty is still drying

Hi Laura, it's a real shame that the glazing shop is closing, simply because there's knowledge being lost, and that should never be the case. From glass cutting to using glazing putty. P. S. Felix's camera skills are so good, when he was unwell I missed him, you are a natural team, and very much what makes the videos work.

"All people have to die, except the old glazier, he is made of putty and broken pieces and the devil won't eat them!" Love it!

I may have said this before but it bears repeating. This is the best and most fun channel that I am following on YT. Required Sunday morning viewing every time. And Felix needs more screen time!

I don't think Laura gives herself enough credit on how skilled she is. She is amazing. Another great video, thanks for sharing! P.S. , what a wonderful world it would be if everyone had a "Felix" in their lives.

The Yellow and Brown glass, for a Bathroom, is perfection

Fix the frames in position first, you don't want to be breaking the glass Grab a handful of putty and feed it through your thumb basically scraping it onto the frame, press the glass onto the putty so you can see it seal all round, it won't fall out due to suction, make the fillet for the other side Might be an idea to watch vids on puttying in windows. ;)

Aw Felix, nice that you sat with Laura and cried with her. Big hearts big minds

Translation of that German writing at the glass shop: "All people have to die, except for the old glazier Night, who is made of putty and shards and the devil won't eat them" 🤣 Thanks for the video, Laura!

Love that Seasons 1-2 were filled with so much uncertainty, but Season 3 has been truly starting to conquer those huge challenges and seeing the small things actually starting to come into place.

The best thing about having a broken window as a child, was when the glazier gave you some left over putty! I can still smell it 😂 it's really tactile.

I'm a 62 year old hardened factory maintenance guy of 41 years! I love you and your team. Don't make me cry, too!

The putty is made of claypowder mixed with linseed oil, perfect for your house

Windowputty basically consists of a linseed paint base thickened with claypowder. It dries really slow because the linseed oil dries because of oxidation with the o2 from the air. Put in a thin strip on the frame, press in the glass and put a thicker strip on the top of the glass. Don't make it any wider than the windowframe and press it in with your fingers. Than cut it in a shallow triangular shape using the putty knife. That works best with the knife dipped in linseed oil beforehand. Success and have fun! Ps this is est done withthe windowframes fixed in place first. Love the look of those windows in place!

Window putty is slow to dry but it doesn't slump on you. Smaller beads look best. Look at windows that have been "professionally" glazed.

Felix is the best friend anyone could ever want. I love you both. ❤️

The putty is called Glazing Putty in English. Complete dry time is more like eight months or longer. Depending on the environment. But sets up in about 60 days.

Love the yellow glass in the centre. Remember to keep the glazing knife really, really clean and then we used to dunk in glass of water just before cutting the fillet. Also get the putty warm an dwell kneaded before running the beads into the frame. Yes you were using to much putty but better too much then not enough. :) enjoy your break.

In America, that is called "glazing" a window. I was taught how to do it in a high school shop class that covered home maintenance skills. We did it with wooden window frames, there were these small metal clips that got pressed into the wood to hold the glass in place. The putty was more to make it weather proof.

Window putty/Fensterkitt is literally 2 natural items. Calcium carbonate (chalk powder) and linseed oil (usually boiled linseed aka flaxseed oil, non-edible, rather than food grade, but even food grade would work, but takes longer to harden). We mixed our own (so super cheap). You used an excessive amount but great job!

After last weeks video I didn’t realise how much felix brings to the videos, the shots, editing, and most of all the encouragement from behind the camera

The glass is perfect and it's going to look so good! I agree, I think youre using too much putty. It just need a little under the glass to stop vibrations and then 6-7mm on the other side to hold it in place. Cant argue with results though! Wenn weniger mehr ist, denken Sie einfach darüber nach, wie viel mehr MEHR wäre

Indeed classical window putty is linseed oil mixed with mineral filler (e.g. chalk, clay). This is why it takes so long to cure: the linseed oil reacts with oxygen, which takes quite a bit of time, especially for the inside bits, and more so if your fillets are very thick 😂

The glass is lovely. There are plenty of comments about the putty so I will stay out of that. Your vision for how this would look was spot on. Enjoy your break.

So glad to meet Felix. Thank you, Laura.

I'm so glad this project has gone the direction it has, it probably would've been easier if it was a quick restoration but this is so cool, I feel like I'm going on the journey with you and every problem is just a solution I get to watch you come up with!

I love that you just go for things. You are using quite a bit more putty than required. It doesnt hurt anything but may take longer to fully cure. You just need a pillow layer for the glass to lay on to prevent glass from touching metal. Regading dry time of 5 weeks, the clay portion dries faurly quick but the linseed oil in it needs to breathe a while to fully set, so dont paint it for a at least a few weeks or the oil inside may never cure.

Im sure i can speak for everyone when i say...Thank you for all your hard work and most of all... sharing all your talent and time with us. We love you! Happy 2024, and I can't wait for what the New year will bring.❤

Awwwww, you too are too sweet :-) Looking forward to all the upcoming episodes of Liselotte. Thank you so much and see you next season!

I use a little water (or a very dilute detergent solution) on the knife. It then just slides over the putty.

I'm 66, you brought me back to my childhood with that putty, that's how it was always done back then. Like 5 decades ago, probably!

Enjoy your break and thanks for all your hard work. Felix has been such a fun addition!

Windows look so great. As for the end of the season, I didn't realize how long I've been watching your videos. That's for all of it Laura and crew!

Enjoy a well-earned break, guys. The windows look great! Once you get the hang of using putty you'll fly through the other windiws and it's a skill you'll always have :)

It IS lovely that you found each other!!! The humor, intelligence, good will, respect and real love you share shines through. It brings a special light into the room. Rest is good. Enjoy!!

I really like Laura’s humor, and the addition of Felix increased the silliness and lighthearted tone of the videos. I’m glad to see those two incredible makers working together. ❤

I feel like you have mentioned before that you have two audiences, one for the house and one for your creative ideas, and I feel in 2024 this project and your esthetic/creativity about to collide into an even better RU-vid channel! Thank you two for literally being some of the hardest workers on this platform and inspiring me to get back up and do something on my house again!

Wenn die Scheibe in dem Rahmen liegt, kann man sie zusätzlich mit kleinen Holzstückchen fest keilen, dann sitzt die Scheibe fest und fällt nicht heraus. Um die Scheiben aus schönem Tischkathedral Glas sauber zumachen, einen alten Socken mit Kreide füllen und über die Fettrückstände tupfen, dann mit einem trockenen sauberen Tuch sauber putzen. ( kann man auch machen wenn der Kitt noch nicht trocken ist.) Der Kitt den du verwendest ist Stahlfenster Kitt, wenn er trocknet bleibt er noch leicht elastisch um die Ausdehnung zwischen Metall und Glas zu überbrücken bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen, ist nicht ganz aus natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen. Habe eine Ausbildung als Glasveredlerin gemacht und das war mein tägliches Brot.

the window looks incredible!! enjoy your break and thank you and Felix (and everyone involved), for bringing so much joy, laughter (and tears 😉), and inspiration to us. 🖤🖤🖤

Some also call it window glazing. I came to the exact conclusion that you did -- this is an old, fading craft/skill. A diy'er can totally get the job done, but to watch a pro at work is an amazing and quick experience! Great first attempt!

You guys are so sweet. My favourite makers! Enjoy the well deserved break!

We learnt how to glaze a window when we were about 10 years old. We were forever smashing windows at home due to playing football and cricket in the garden and our father got sick of mending them so he taught us to fix them ourselves. The steel frame and obscured glass look that you have achieved is the 1960s British public toilets style of window.

Have a super nice break, enjoy and load up your batteries. For info, when I was young my father told me that window putty (mastic in french) is made by mixing talc (babypowder) and linseed oil, so if you want to paint it you better choose a linseed oil based paint, but someone else made this comment already.

Translation for the poem at 1:20 (from Google Translate): "All people have to die, Except the old glazier, He is made of putty and shards, And the devil won't eat them!" If I were to take a crack at transcribing to preserve the rhyme: "All men must one day pass, Yet the Glazier, he escapes. Made of putty and broken glass, He is not to the Devil's taste." Or maybe: "All men must one day pass, Yet the Glazier, he stays out, Made of putty and broken glass, He would cut the Devil's mouth." The original rhymes "nicht" with "nicht", though, so I'm embellishing a bit here.

Using putty is the traditional way which we were taught years ago in a painting appreticeship. You would have to paint it afterward, making sure you covered the edges to make sure the putty never dried out. Nowadays, here in Canada, window companies use caulking, you can use a caulking gun, it's faster and easier (and therefore cheaper) and the caulk never dries out. Plus the caulk comes in a variety of colours. You don't want the putty to dry out because then it shrinks, fails too stick to the frame and falls out, with the caulk that's never a problem.

Ihr seid süß! Eine Pause sei euch mehr als gegönnt!

I love the fact that Laura and me are the same age (technically I'm four months older) but since I grew on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, I know exactly what window putty is and how it's used, because we didn't get modern windows until the early 2000s, so I was old enough to have to replace by myself a window pane I accidentally broke before my parents got home... Also, window putty is indeed natural, it's made from powdered limestone and boiled linseed oil.

Super thankful for you all

Ihr zwei beiden seid wunderbar. Fette Liebe für euch! ✌️

You guys are like brother and sister. So glad you found each other. Cheers! 🙂

Awesome Awesome!!!! you need the break, take the time. we will be here waiting, no rush!

I love watching Laura and Felix so much that I now watch Felix's channel. I speak zero German, but i love the projects you both work on. Enjoy your well-deserved break!! Happy New Year to you both!

Felix ist wieder da, das macht Spaß! Ihr seid ein gutes Team zusammen. Mit Fensterkitt spielten wir früher, als Kinder, wir bekamen manchmal etwas von Hausmaler. Meine Mutter war nimmer froh damit denn Kleider, wir, alles war so schmutzig. Fand sie aber öfter, mir war das egal.

It helps to wet the putty knife with a bit of water (or just a little bit of spit). The putty is (origanally) mainly chalk and linseed, so it helps prevent the oily putty stick to the knife. That way it doesn't pull the putty away from the frame.

Laura and Felix, your team dynamic is incredible and it's great to see this content on a regular basis. Please take whatever time you and every other team member need to recuperate and reinvigorate yourselves for whatever nonsense the coming year may throw at you, and we'll be here to support and watch along the way.

Crying all... Excelent job.. congrats .

Rest well, all. See you soon.❤❤❤

The putty takes a long time to dry but it's holds right away. When I was younger they were always replacing glass in the close (entryway) of our council apartments as the children were always breaking it 😂

They are stunning, great idea! But, yes less putty.

We will miss you. Enjoy your break and we’ll be here when you come back.

This is how I learned to fix window glasses like 30 years ago, in Argentina, with my grandpa. Great memories! I guess some technologies can't get any better...

Good on you for taking breaks. So many RU-vidrs are burning out these days. Glad to keep you around :)

Rest well ! This is my favorite youtube channel, ur always on top, u deserve to take rest !

Thank you for sharing your journey, Laura. As a former teacher, it never ceases to amaze me what the traditional school system can do to some student's self worth. You are brilliant, clearly. I love your design approach and aesthetic. I'm so glad you found your way. Congratulations on all of your achievements. May you go from strength to strength! Great video work too!

Yes, you used way too much, but you did a beautiful job. I love the glass. Enjoy your break! We'll be waiting when you come back.

You definitely deserve a break. Thank you for sharing all your struggles and triumphs.

First of all, thank you for the immense work you do. Not only for the constructive, but for the creative, for the hours of work off camera, editing, editing, video, script... You have created one of the best RU-vid channels with your theme. You are genuine, you are adorable, close... And I hope that sooner rather than later you will be back so that we can continue enjoying your work, candor and friendliness. Enjoy the holidays, and we'll see you when you get back.

Not sure about Germany but here in the states, metal frame windows have 2 little holes drilled every so often and we use a small spring clip to retain the window and the putty just seals it. On wood, we use push points.

This 'window pudding' is super common here in Brazil since in most part of the country it's hot, so super isolated and fancy windows are not necessary. Well, it's the cheapest solution, there's why it's popular. Very basic iron and glass. Of course there a lot of other materials.

Hi felix! 👋 We miss You!

We call that adhesive “mastic” in Canada. Your instincts are right - you need to use 1/3 less than you are to hold each glass pane in. And it will hold right away even though the mastic will take awhile to cure. The finished result looks really good! I’m excited to see how it all comes together bit by bit!

Yes! Buy up all the fun glass before the shop closes. For future potential repairs or other projects!

Time Out? Sh*t Yeah! You, Felix et al have earned it in spades! Stay safe and enjoy a well earned break

Window putty! All the panes of a giant picture window in the front of the house I grew up in were held in place with window putty. I realized it was done by hand one day when I found a finger print in the putty. Also, got to see how to do window putty after an errant baseball my friend and I were throwing found it's way into the living room via one of the panes.

So glad that you and Felix found each other! You feed off of each other's energy in such a lovely and beautiful way - you had me tearing up too!

That first frame is so tightly fitted that any settling of the structure of the house could cause the metal to flex and the glass to break. Wooden stops on either side of the frame would allow a more forgiving installation.

It's called mastic putty, I used to repair windows when I was a painter

Go a bit lighter with the putty for the next ones, it only needs to be about 1/2 a centimetre thick at the highest point. I absolutely love them, such a good choice!

You all deserve a break but I’m really going to miss your weekly updates. Exited for what’s to come next. Enjoy your time off.

That shop and its owner sound amazing. Sad they're closing.

The putte is 100% natural, it is just chalk and lindseed oil. As a glacier from dennmark it was quite nice to see a novice have a try at kitte Ein fenster. The knife you have is actually a corner knife, it is only to make sharp corners. There is another knife for making the longer runs. You have to paint the putty, because it dries out and falls out. Actually traditionally putty does not work very well with metal, although it is traditionally used. I usually use a caulk for glass when putting it in metal frames. Traditionally the lindseed oil is sucked into the wooden frame and makes a connection that way. That is also why you have to paint it, so it does not say out. Lindseed oil based paint can also be restored just by rubbing new oil on it.

Make your putty more malleable by kneading it in your hands for a while ... it is easier to use.. keep up the good work

In wooden windows, you put down the first layer of putty, then glass, then glazing points. Then you finish with putty. You need something to replace the glazing points, as they are pushed into the wood, with a putty knife. You need tiny "L"-brackets, to screw to the frames. Without them, the panes can fall out, as the putty shrinks.

Welcome back Felix!!! Laura, you scared me when you said this was the last video for the season. I’ve been following you since your camper van. Tell us how you met Felix/your team.

Enjoy your break guys. I like many others have loved watching you all.

U guys.. now I'm crying too! :')) hope your break is as giving to you all, as the Liselotte series has been to all of us! ❤️

Rest relax but come back!! We love you two! ❤❤❤

You should take a break yes. I'll miss you for a few weeks but you guys deserve it.

Aww, love you all ❤️ hope you had a lovely time off 🥂🍻 See you next time 😁🥳

I love Felix. When he sat down next to Laura, I thought it was so hilarious and endearing that their outfits are exactly the same. ❤

I can't believe I've watched all 50 episodes.... and haven't skipped more than a week

Love your work. But always keep a gap to the top of glazing frame. If a building moves and drop down at your glass, the weight , of that part of the building may settle on your glass.

We'll be waiting for you, Laura. Enjoy your break ❤️

Have a lovely break Laura and Felix. From an old hand at stained glass windows, you can definitely use much less window putty.

Thanks for content you do! You Laura and Felix, I love your sense for humor, I always smile while watching and when Felix was sick and wasn't filming last video It felt a bit empty, because you two have great communication during filming. Take some rest, wish you all the best in 2024 and hope to see you soon again :)

It is wonderful that you used a traditional glazing method to compliment the house. Looking forward to seeing when you return from your well-earned break.
