Wonderfully informative editing & videography; answered all my questions about how this craft is carried out. It requires good skills and a LOT of solder.
Yes amazing work. No need for the leaded frames, Makes things a little easier, Just trying to find some nice decorative glass supplier, at reasonable prices,
@@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f Good luck with your searching for quality glass. I haven't even started with the hobby yet, but the video was very educational. Perhaps I should give it a try. What country are you located in? Are you going to buy locally or use digital shopping?
@@BrassLock Have nothing locally as usual lol, So will have to look online, But have found a store with the type of thing i am thinking of, try a search for creative glass guild. Soldering irons can be got for quite cheap to begin with, 200w for less than 20, Have the copper tape already, a dremel to smooth the glass edges. Get some plumbers solder. I cannot get on with lead free solder, its awful stuff to use, and then for the final copper tone, it might have been wiped with copper sulfate or maybe CopperIt . Just need to have a fan blowing the lead fumes from the solder away from your face, and work in a well ventilated space. Only thing not looked for, is the faceted hearts shapes. I think you could make a similar sized shade for 40-50 quid for tools, then probably after it would be about 30-80 in materials for the first one, all depends on your design and wastage i suppose, but if you have the technical skill to do this for yourself. I would have never thought of just soldering copper tapes together. always thought you needed those special like a H channel lead rods to slide the glass in to start with.
@@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f Yes, it was a surprise to see that copper tape holding it all together. I have all the tools for electrical work, and the rotary tool. Just need the copper tape and glass 😀
@@BrassLock Yes, also have most of the tools, besides the copper sulfate solution. But not sure if my 80 watt iron will be strong enough, to get a nice finish over a 200mm ish length of a joint, maybe it might just need a finishing pass with a narrow blow torch flame to get a smooth consistent line. Trial & Error i suppose, but watching this video, has sure given me the insight into having a go myself. Although all these overly bloody talented artistic people make these things look like a piece of cake lol. Might just get a cheap piece of plain glass to have a play with, before shelling out serious money for some nice coloured glass, Good luck with your project if/when you decide to have a go :)
У нас бы над душой стоял мастер или начальник: -- Быстрей! Скорей!! Давай! Давай! Что ты копаешься?! Давай! Быстрей!...Оперативно!!! И так до тех пор, пока не начнет всё из рук валиться и разбиваться об пол.
Stunning - o my goodness I wish I could make these it’s a beautiful craft, in saying that tho I hope the glass isn’t made of sand, I hope there’s another way to make that product now.
Amé hacer vitrales, es un arte muy hermoso, aunque a veces puedes herirte, pero es parte del proceso, tal vez más adelante vuelva a hacerlos, pero como un pasatiempos. Saludos a todos desde El Salvador
Nice! I noticed you stood 2 panels together but wondered how you knew what angle to do this on without using a guide? Other videos have ALWAYS shown the panels sitting in a made up gauge. This is obviously very important to get it exact but you do not show how or have any subtitles thanks
The pieces are already angled at a predestined degree, so it's easy to solder them up without a jig... the angle of is formed from the jig (wood) when she piece those individual pieces together. The 3 pieces of wood are angled. Starts from 3.31min U can see those 3 pieces of wood are pre-angled at the required degree , so the formation of 2 sides of each pieces (lamp sheets) are molded in accordance to those angled wooden jigs
I miss working with glass, it truly is a dying art...supplies become limited or high in price. I have a Tiffany reproduction I made years ago. Still have all my equipment hopefully some day I'll get back.
Maravilloso!!!! Las vidrieras, tanto en una lámpara, como en una catedral, es un arte precioso, me ha gustado mucho ver cómo es todo el proceso y la cantidad de trabajo que lleva.🙋🏻♀️🇪🇸
