Budgettip! Use old cd cases to hold your copper tape (5,7mm max). Cut out a small bit so you can pull the tape out. It works soooo good!!!!
Amazing!
Thank you very much, young man. I am recently retired and was looking for some kind of a hobby. This is perfect for me. You are incredibly talented. Thank you so much!
I'm glad the videos help!
I had an idea about making a sailor moon themed stain glass... I wanna try learning now... wish me luck
You'll have so much fun, good luck!
How'd it go?
Post the pic when you finish.
Update?
I need an update too
Dude! Huge thanx, Was so intimidating starting a new hobby and your videos definitely help tons 🙌
I have been admiring your videos and other beginner stained glass videos and I want to get into this art form. Thank you for this list it will be most useful to get me going.
This is the perfect video for beginners. This answers everything so efficiently and honestly. This was exactly what I was looking for thank you!
Ty for taking the time.
Thanks for the very honest advice about what’s needed and what’s more optional, appreciated!
Wow, it is amazing how much the prices have shot up in just a year!
Very informative video though, thanks so much for taking it right down to basics level and for your advice and honesty.
Thank you very very much for who makes this video ❤️💛♥️ it's helpful also for my project in school 😊
thank you so much for this video. i've been interested with stained glass art but know anything about it. now i know how much i should saving up and what to buy to actually start learning that ^^.
thanks for the motivation and inspiration💯💯💯
thank you for the idea💡✨
Great video! Thanks
Thank you. Great tutorial
Hey all your pieces are amazing and your instruction is fantastic, very underrated channel. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate it 🙏
Awesome video for a complete beginner.
Holy cow I’m so excited I found your channel! I was wanting to learn how to do this so I could do sacred geometry stained glass art in my RV that I’ll be living in full time and then I saw your newest videos after I subscribed!! Your whole channel looks really neat! Thanks for all the helpful advice! 💚🙏🏻
Van life and stained glass sounds like a dream! 🔮😍
Hey, I am living in my van and starting this new media as well, how is it working out for you?
I just discovered your channel, thank you for what you do! I couldn't find a good guide on how to start and mostly what to use. I've been doing little terrariums since years now, i started by buing the glass cutter, and i was just gluing the pieces with hot glue, it was not working well to say the least haha. Then i updated to silicone, kind of like aquariums could be made, and as I was diving deeper into it, i discovered people were using this fancy copper tape, and a solder... It was hard to find actual advice for noobs, but thanks to you I now know what is about. Thank you! and you make beautiful stuff too :)
Thanks, glad you found what you're looking for here!
Thank you for teaching us from step to step
I'm happy to help ✌️
Thanks for the clear info 🤙
Excellent tutorial 👌
I just ordered my beginner's kit + glass, I'm so excited to learn!
Super excited for you! It's on the way!! 🙏🤩
Where you buy glass?😊
Good list. I found if you want to have a good experience pick the best you can afford. I ended up rebuying most items after working with glass for a while and regret not getting better stuff earlier. I don’t hardly ever use those breaking pliers and love both of the Toyo glass cutters. They make stained glass much more enjoyable along with a good grinder
Quoc Ta Like most things you start on a low budget but eventually realize what’s best for you. Also I think upgrading is part of the fun and something to look forward to! 😀
Thank you
you’re amazing! thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing.
Hi, I am from Tunisia and I am so impressed about the stained glass.I am beginner and I would like to learn how to do.
Thank you for the informations. I will send you my first one done.All Love from Tunisia.
Well explaned
Great video, i was thinking you were going to continue the video and show us how to use the items and make something with them. Thank you.
Thank you do much
OMG I make mistake ..thank you so much ..now is correct..
Ty
Excellent video! Thank you so much for this information. I’ve been wanting to start stain glass after a few classes I had a couple years ago but my Health has prevented it. I’ve been watching your Videos from the beginning and I’m very impressed with your work. I know you’re getting lots of commissions and I miss seeing you on CZcams. Plus I know you have a baby (s) & I wish you much happiness with your family and your esteemed commissions❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Vickie. I'm hoping to make more videos as time allows. And projects too! More to come! ❤️❤️❤️
Good artwork for your talent, good idea for Interior artistic , very nice
thank u
Great video
Could you do a Q&A video? I have so many questions to ask you and could probably supply a whole video worth of questions. I am very interested in starting stained glass art and your videos are amazing for my beginner needs.
That's a good idea! I'll do a post and you (and everyone) can type in your questions and I'll gather them all for a video. Thanks!
Good budget-friendly list. I am with Quoc Ta on buying the best you can afford if you already think you will get hooked. I have virtually replaced all the cheaper stuff I bought at the beginning as I found the better the cutter, cleaner the breaks. The only original item I am still using is the soldering iron I picked up at a big box hobby store for $25. I am going to replace it soon with a Hako iron. I have vastly expanded what I have now because it is such a great art form. I got hooked after the first project. If you are really unsure about stained glass then take Sarakit's advice and get the minimum. It is a chance you will have to take. 👍😁🉐
Steve Owens I had no idea I would be hooked either 😂
I agree Steve. I’ve replaced almost everything except my grinder, but I want to upgrade that too. I just switched to the Hako FX601-02 iron and it’s so nice. I wish I would have done it earlier since it makes every job go so much smoother.
Hi. This video was extremely helpful. I just want to understand if for solder wire we just have to keep 60/40 as priority? Can you tell me a little about the thickness of the wire used? Or does the thickness not matter?
Thank you for the video! collecting tools gradually.. could you tell what thickness the glass would be good? I was trying to cut a glass which is pretty thick, about 6mm... doen't seem to work..
Hi! Thanks for sharing your expertise! You’re a great teacher! Are there any safety concerns when using lead solder?
Hi! yes a few things. Don’t ingest, wash hands after handling, and plenty of ventilation
Everything is just nice including you lol
Ima need to switch hobbies and make it a business as well 🤣😊
Nice video, but I wouldn't recommend the carborundum stone to file the edges even without some sort of lubricant. It will create tiny cracks in the edges of the glass that could cause a run once you start soldering, not to mention that it makes it much harder to foil. A glass grinder, as you point out, starts at about $100, but is a necessary expense, IMO. Sometimes you can find a used one online. I picked up both of my grinders used for less than $50.
You are amazing
Love your classes do you have any on decorative soldering. I am doing prism angels with tear drop prisms and stained glass wings. I have been playing with metal stamps (gotta be quick ) wire and solder drops but I have seen some stuff on Pinterest that blows my mind. Thanks dtw
I haven’t done decorative soldering but something new to learn for sure!
Thanks for the tips! What do you search for when looking on Craigslist for glass? I am having a hard time finding glass to use.
Mirrors could be a good search. Picture frames with glass. Thicker glass is not what we’re working with so you can skip those. And also people getting rid of stained glass in general. Once in a while you’ll find those available.
This is the best video I've seen for someone who knows nothing about this hobby yet. Thank you say much!! I see your video is two years old now, do you have another budget friendly soldering iron you recommend now or is it still the same?
still same equipment pretty much
Cool video
PokeValor 130 thanks!
Hello! When i tried to order the Novacan Industries Old Masters Flux - 8 Oz (#. 0 1 Count - Green), the shipping on it was close to $50! Is there a next best thing?- thank you!
Awesome video! Thank you for making it. I want to make some window inserts for my house and plan to work mostly in lead came. Do you think I need to grinder? Also, where do recommend ordering glass if you can't find it locally :-( ?
Hey thanks! With lead came work I think you could get away with not using a grinder but depends how your pieces turn out. Less curves and straight cuts would be the way to go. We do sell some glass packs on our site at www.stainedglassdiy.com but I haven't bought glass online since I have a few local shops around. Maybe find a shop that's closest to you to save on shipping prices? Good luck with your project!
U rock. If i wanted to make curved glass pieces rather than straight, does this glass cutter work? Thanks!
Yes it does work for curves and everything else but the better cutter will just make things easier and a more pleasant experience overall
This is a silly question, I always thought you needed a special kind of glass to make these. If I use glass from some old frame, how do I paint it? Thanks
Hi! Thank you so much for all your help! Im glad I found you :) I wanted to ask you what you say at minute 0:39. Where can I get free glass? Thank you! Greetings from Chile
That project you demonstrated at 5:50. How does one get that streaky texture/color? I've never worked with stained glass at all and would love to see more of what can be done with just plain glass
Oh the plain glass is just plain and the colored one is another glass. sorry for the confusion! it wouldn't have shown well in the thumbnail.
Where do you buy your sheets of glass from?
I really like the focus on saving money but take exception with grandpa's glass cutter. One really needs a self-lubricating pencil cutter.
Golden Standard= Hexacon soldering iron, TOYO TC-10 glass cutter or South Korean made K-STAR glass cutter, NOVACAN chemistry, and a lot of DIY stuff!!!!! With 3d printing tech you can make your own tools very quickly!!!
I would like to buy a kit from you with all the bells and whistles I need. And a full tutorial from start to finish of that kit. And if you could throw in some unusual pieces of glass. For for a project or two. For example I really want to do a creepy pumpkin and some spider webs... and yes I know Halloween's over lol
but not for me. 🎃
I've got kits available on my site now. You can check them out at stainedglassdiy.com/shop
Thanks for the really helpful video! I just signed up for my first class,but used to experiment with glass projects many years ago. Nice to hear that using the cheap hand scoring tool isn't so easy! Recently I've seen a video with an artist who uses tile snips and thought I might have better luck controlling the break points. Any thoughts? I sure appreciate the help getting started!
Hmm I have not tried tile snips. If I get a chance to try one I’ll let you know 👍
does it matter if we use 60/40 or 67/34 or lead-free solder wire? most of the people uses lead-free one but i dont understand the point
Hello Thanks all thoses recommandations !
I really would like to draw on my stained glass, did there is a machine who cost not a lot to "cook" the drawing ?
Thank you :)
Sorry I don’t know but if I find out I’ll let you know. Maybe look into glass fusing?
What about etching cream?
dude, i have a problem to find patina liquid in indonesia, do you have an alternative paint or something else for coloring solder wire?
Don't think it'll look the same and anything else will probably not last like patina would. No local stained glass shops?
Is there a recommendation for a soldering iron that is in between the higher priced one and the cheapest?
I haven't tested ones in between this price range but would love to try out some in the future
Unless you're soldering for a living there's very little reason to spend this much on a soldering iron. I've used a 5£ aliexpress one regularly for years and never needed anything better. The best one I've used is the pinecil which I've built from a kit for like 50 quid. I've used stations costing hundreds of pounds and the pinecil is still the one I like best.
Thank you again for all the videos, i'm about to buy all of the stuff I need to start. I just have one concern, it's about safety. Do I need a mask while i'm soldering? I feel like there's a lot of chemical fumes going on while you work on that, and i'm not sure. I've seen people recomend wearing just a simple surgical mask, and maybe gloves, but i've also seen people doing everything without any of them, so idk, I might just use a mask as a precaution. what do you think?
I wear a mask when I solder bc I'm in a garage. If out in the open air then I might not. But for sure it's not good to breathe this stuff. You can also direct the fumes with a fan. The filter and mask and everything I use can be found on kit.co/stainedglassdiy
YO i like this style of video short sweet and to the point....you got a video like this on STARTING a piece? just like segmented bits of info....i want to do this but i only know of the lead/leadfree metal you put on the edge of the glass but the tape seems better...but what i want to know is how much do you solder? just the start and end of the cut or do you have to run a bead along the WHOLE edge of the glass?
With the copper foil, you have to run a full bead on all foil on every edge of the glass. Preferences on how thick or round you want your bead to look but most prefer a full look.
@@StainedGlassDIY oh ok ty i am looking to get in to this
Any recommendations for doing this without lead?
Yes there is lead free solder
What kind of brush should one use with the flux?
Paint brush, cotton swab, or acid flux brush
I noticed that there is a plastic layer on copper foil i use. Is it supposed to stay that way or should it be removed? Thank you...
Top layer should be copper so the solder sticks to it. The only thing you should peel away is the adhesive cover. Not sure about your tape..
Really appreciate this video! It made a seemingly costly hobby super accessible. I just got some supplies for roughly $90 and I’m excited to start! I saw in one of your other beginner videos that you polished the artwork after it was done but didn’t mention polish here- is it necessary, or are there alternatives?
Hi! Wax is cheaper than polish and works well as a finish. I do like polish to shine the silver solder and also use polish for copper patina. But any regular car wax would do. Glad you got started!
@@StainedGlassDIY Awesome, thanks so much! And that's perfect, already have some wax on hand. This weekend I worked on a tile of just squares and rectangles, and I also made a little turtle! My solder lines are pretty rough, but it's really fun and I'm excited to keep going.
Could someone use sandpaper to grind down the edges until they can get the grinder?
It wouldn't grind the glass but just maybe smooth out some sharp edges. The grinding stone will do a better job.
Is there a video of you actually using the Hakko 503?
No but I'm gonna do a comparison with the better iron soon
Does anyone have any tips on where to get flux remover in AUS? Having trouble finding everything together but especially the flux remover. Thanks!
gosh I hope you see this comment. but I have a wood burning tool with a tip that looks identical to the one on your tool. can i use that? or do I need to go buy myself one specifically for stained glass?
The cheaper the iron the harder it will be for you to use to solder. You could have a harder time just because it might not melt the solder as evenly but you can try and see its limitations.
Do you know if lead free solder would work?
I haven’t tried but will in the future
Hi what thickness if glass is good. Thanks
They're all typically about 1/8" but some vary depending on texture and maker. The thinner the easier to cut.
Please tell me glass size mm
How i buy it if i was from iraq
Can you solder hlass without copper foil?
No, you would need copper foil for the solder to stick to.
What liquid do you use in grinder, that glass dust becomes like a glue?
Just water and you can add some coolant too
Do these glass cutters need some type of oil to lubricate it?
Yes you would need cutting oil (kerosene, baby oil, sewing machine oil all work too) at the blade wheel before scoring the glass. Thanks for mentioning!
I am new to stain glass. After copper foiling and shouldering, with a little pressure, my pieces get separated. What is the reason?
Is it separating from the foil and glass? or the solder itself?
@@StainedGlassDIY Foil is getting separated from the glass after shouldering
I have a question. I have never done this before. You listed several glass options for practicing. You did not mention regular window glass. Is it not a usable product? I have a bunch of very old windows laying in my barn loft. Probably the old wavey type.
I would imagine window panes are too thick.
Hi Cindy, our glass we use is typically 1/8" thick so anything close to that would be okay. The thinner the glass the easier it will be to work with but not as strong as thicker glass. If over 1/8" thickness it will be tough to score.
Instead of a grinder could you use a rotary carver?
yes but could be difficult if you free hand it and your edges wouldn't come out as it would on a tabletop but it is possible
Is stained glass work generally a expensive hobby? I'd like to make things with circular glass but i imagine it would be difficult to do...
It can be expensive with the glass and better tools

Where can I buy glass from ?
Cheaper ?
Same question...I need buy glass...
Where you buy color glass?which store?
We sell glass packs online at www.stainedglassdiy.com/shop but you can also check out your local stained glass store if you have one nearby.
@@StainedGlassDIY Thank you!

I think I would run out of picture frames pretty quickly. Also, where's the staining part in this list?
Or in Australia the stone is $50, glass cutter and breaker is $50, solder is $70, foil tape is $30, flux is $30 and glass is $50 for 5 sheets. 😢
My Boyfriend has a professional iron soldering that he use to soldering drones parts... can I use it or I risk to ruin it? 😂
Are you from Hawaii?
No but I love it out there 🌈
A repetitive tutorial that could easily confuse a beginner.
Where you buy this stuff?

I need buy glass
Thank you
I’ve never had luck with Copper Patina. Too bad. I love it.
Thank you
