Really useful no nonsense advice as usual from you Sophie. Wish I'd viewed this video last week as relatively new to leaded glass and had a piece with several complex joints. Wish I'd done the trick of cutting the heart out of some pieces of lead. Will know next time. Also glad I'm not the only one who has to keep pulling bits off and re-trimming.
Thanks so much for this tutorial on leading! Well done. Starting out on a big restoration panel and got some great tips from you. As always, I like your approach. Thanks again!
Love watching this video. Your explanations are so helpful and I am beginning to understand the logic behind the way you use lead came. I’m going to try these out on my next project. Thanks!
Really helpful, thanks, Susie! I'm re-leading a whole Victorian front door window and it has some awkward curves in. It's my first big job as such. Thankfully I got it out without breaking a piece. Richard.
Great video. I did a square 6"x6" panel for my first project and it took me all day. I didnt accurately account for the frame and so the further i got, the less it lined up with the pattern. I finished it but it took the entire day. I need practice on angle cuts and such. Anyways thanks for your expertise. 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your stained glass knowledge with us! Your videos are so helpful! In this video, I'm wondering what the tool is called that cuts the larger lead frame? I struggle cutting the thicker lead frame and this looks like it would be so helpful. Thank you!
Lead shears - is that what you mean. Yes they are good and easy on the hand. I get them at Reading Stained Glass - you can find something similar by searching 'gasket cutters'.
@@SophiesStainedGlass I think so. I'm in the USA, but with that search I think I found something similar. It was trying to give me pattern shear results, but I found something. Thank you so much!
Hi Sophie, loving your videos & learning so much from them. A quick question❓ Please can you tell me, do you ever use tip tinner or the wire wool type cleaner? Thank you 😊
Thanks for the very educational video. I now have a much better appreciation of the decisions made when working with lead came as opposed to the copper foil technique. Can you give an estimate of how long it took you to do the leading? You did a great job of editing the video down to about 23 minutes. I did not realize you had a ghost in your workshop! Hence the magic door opening at about 22:45! Probably a ghost left over from Halloween! We had our first freeze last night here in Maryland near DC in the US. Winter is coming!
