That's neat how you used the symmetry of the design to your advantage in cutting lead exactly to size on the second half using the first half as a pattern.
As long as the glass is cut perfectly it's a wonderful way to keep the symmetry right 💛💙💚. Great technique that 🍻
Thanks for the longer vid, it's fun to watch the work. The circle pane is really lovely, but looks like it had some challenges. Lots of sharp angle cuts to negotiate. Beautiful result! Thanks for sharing!
People seem to like the longer one so I try more like this in the future 🤍💙🩷 cheers for watching
Oh yes :) Finally a longer vid :D Love the glass cutting sounds. Lovely windows - as always. Great Job Jan. Cheers! 🍻
Haha see I do listen! If people watch this one I'll try to make longer ones in the future 🫶🫶
So satisfying to watch! I admire your work. It's amazing to see people creating things with their hands ❤
It appears you trace the pattern of glass precisely. How do you account for the width if the lead?
Stunning piece!
I love the scratchy crackly sounds. Your craftsmanship is stunning, and like all masters, you make it look easy. Thank you for creating a channel to share your work with all of us. ❤
Cheers buddy, super kind of you to say. I love the scoring noise too but a very marmite like sound! I love comments like this it really makes it worth all the effort the videos take 🍻
Sounds like potato chips 😂 fun to watch the precision glass cutting/breaking! Motivational for me. I work with foil not lead. Intriguing.
É muito bom ver a obra surgir!
Da sua imaginação, direto para o plano físico.
Que prática e dedicação.
You, sir, are a true artist. Love all of your work! I took a stained glass class some time ago but there I never learned what you show, your videos help me get better results, even though my results are not even close to the ballpark you are in :). Great work, looking forward to upcoming videos of more beautiful pieces.
Aww thanks for the appreciation. It means a lot that my videos are helping out with other picking up tips and tricks. Cheers for watching 💛🩵❤️
Love the longer form video 👌🥰
Thank you 🍻 this longer one seemed to have a pretty good reception so I might make longer ones again 💜🧡💚
Interesting. The way you cut out the shape after scoring - well I’ve never tried pinching the glass out. I’ve been taught to tap underneath along the scored line to break the glass away. I’m going to try your way in my next class to see how well your style would work for me. 🙏🏽 Jan for sharing your way. D.
The basics are very similar it's all about applying pressure/force to the score line. I just always feel tapping can be alittle more unpredictable. Tapping slight to one side of the score line can mean the 'break' isn't quite at a 90 degree angle.. If you get what I mean?
Gorgeous design! I adore art nouveau! Great colours and I agree with another viewer, it's satisfying seeing you not waste glass. What's your favourite part of making these pieces?
Thank you 🫶 my favourite part is definitely during the final polish whilst the lead work is blacken and shiny. I love seeing the black lead framing all the little coloured sections and then lifting the finished window up for the first time
🖤🧡🖤❤️🖤💙🖤💛
Have you ever tried to cut out the patterns with the glass oriented the same way? Like dresser drawer faces with the wood grain running into the next in an unbroken line.
Yeah I've done that type of thing before but I don't think I've made a video showing it yet. I'll keep it in mind 🧡🖤💙
I have to laugh as I looked high and low for the same pliers that you said you used. Even used are not to be found😂. I love the handle on your cutter too. Was looking for that too lol. Beautiful work as always. Your videos are on my favorites list. Cheers!
I've had all my tools for 20+ years and they were discontinued such a long time ago.. Silberschnitt should bring them back!
@LightLeadedDesigns I agree! I do have a pair of pliers that are alittle similar to yours I've had for a very long time too and guess they will do. I just ordered a cutter from them and it's a long brass barrel designed handle similar to what I started with back in the 80s. It is a nice cutter, I just happen to like yours better lol. Have a great rest of your week and thanks for sharing 👍❤️
the scratching sounds... I could never work with glass, but oh my goodness, what you do is so beautiful!
I actually like that sound 😂 it's a good job as I hear it quite a lot 🍻
Taka precyzja, dokładność. Chciałabym nauczyć się tej techniki. Od roku uczę się witrażu techniką Tiffany'ego. Ta jednak jest dla mnie rewelacyjna. Może znajdę w Polsce gdzieś kursy z tej techniki😊. Serdecznie pozdrawiam I bardzo dziękuję za możliwość oglądania Pana😊
Aww thanks for the appreciation buddy, makes it worth the effort making the video ❤️💛💙
What do you do if you have glass that you can’t see the patter coming through? Or do you just not use dark or opaque glass?
I love how you don’t waste glass when you cut the pieces out. So many do and it’s frustrating. 😮
You're work is so beautiful, and such an inspiration.
What kind of flux do you use please?
Thank you 💛🩵❤️ flux wise I tend to use a standard plumbing flux paste. Do you have any recommendations
Haces un trabajo muy profesional y maravilloso vivo en Colombia. Lo que le unas al vitral que es?
Adoro verte trabajar el vidrio, que programa de ordenador usas para tus diseños? Gracias
Cheers for watching 🫶 I actually spent a small fortune making my own design program a few years ago 🤍🧡💛
Hi Jan, very nice job. tell me, how do you draw and print your templates on paper? greetings
Ismaël
Hi Ismael, I actually spent a small fortune making my own design program a few years ago 💚🩵💛
Bonjour. Il est fort dommage que nous n ayons pas la traduction en français j admire ce dont vous faites. J ai appris avec un maître le Tiffany Mais voulu commencer toute seule à travailler avec des baguettes en U Je m y suis à l envers j ai travaillé sur une planche je n ai pas commencé par le contour. Et suite des produits je les connais pas Quel produit pour éviter que mes verres bougent Mon vitrail fait 150 cm sur 50 cm Faudra t il lui mettre quelque chose à l arrière. Merci si vous pouvez m aider. Votre travail est magnifique
For my latest videos I've narrated them so you should be able to put captions on in French? Does that work?
Hello. Can you help?
I want to start doing it.. Could you tell me which tools, Soldering iron, ? Lead? thickness? black clay at the end?
The thickness of lead and glass? What kind of company is lead? etc .....
I will be very grateful..
Sorry buddy that list of everything would be huge and much of what I actual use tool wise isn't available anymore! My videos are a great way to pickup tips but I'm very much a super busy working craftsman rather than a teacher but cheers for asking
Brother.. Then please tell me three questions..
What kind of gas soldering iron?
Cement, or Black clay?
What kind of Lead is this?
Do you offer your glazing recipe?
It's a very similar recipe to the ones you can find with a Google search for lead light window cement recipe 🫶
@@LightLeadedDesigns thank you 😊
Sorry to bother. I also noticed that you don’t chalk over your cement. Why not?
When did you hurt your arm i saw on a short post? And how are yiu healing ?
I did the damage loading a window into a clients car. My first work related injury for a long time! It's all good getting a bit more movement in the elbow everyday 🧡
@LightLeadedDesigns I watch your videos at work @ Sheriff office so your becoming popular
Parece acrilico , no vidrio.
It's all glass, just art glass at around 3mm thick.. I wonder what a leaded light window fully made of acrylic would be like 😲🤔
@@LightLeadedDesigns espero no haberte ofendido con mi duda , pero solo fue eso , una duda. Por otro lado , te felicito 👍👍👍
Long live the master craftsman and pass these skills to others. Tim 😊
I've taught 1000s 🍻 Power of the internet and making all these process videos, cheers Tim 💜
