Stained glass safety tips 🦺

Finally finding a stained glass artist who actually explains this art! I want to learn to do this but many channels just show what they’re doing with music without explaining anything.😊
When he said, "Somebody's waking up", I fully thought he meant in the graves.
💀
So did I 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same! 😂
😂😂😂
I thought I was the only one that enjoyed long walks through a cemetary. Thank you for another great video that was very helpful. May you be blessed for your assistance.
I would have never guessed when I was younger that I would spend as much time as I do in cemeteries. So peaceful. Best place to walk.
I love it. A good place to reflect and appreciate the day to day.
7:16 Somebody's waking up -- since you're at a cemetery, I was expecting something different 😅
Loved your video. I’m a beginner and I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video. I make some of these mistakes. Luckily I have a grinder though so I don’t have to do my grinding by hand.
Love this whole video!! The walk, the tips, the Zen feeling! Thank you! For it all!! 🫶🏼
Thanks Barbara, I'm glad you liked it! I had a nice walk and it was great to record outside. 😊
Thank you so much, i’m a beginner from Italy, it is very difficult to even find materials for stained glass here but your vids have helped so so much!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful.
Love the videos! I have not worked with glass in over 20 years now. I have considered getting back into it. I never did ?canning?, just foil. When I learned from books and video's I was told not to run the cutter over the edge of the glass because it chip the cutter. It makes sense to get a full cut but I've tried to not go over the edge. Good luck with the channel!
I'm sooo new to this craft. Loved it xxxxx
I remember from somewhere running detergent water along the score helps when breaking the cut. We were also taught that the edges to be foiled have to be ground so as not to be shiny. Needs to be dull mat for the foil to stick.
This video answers so many questions. Thank you
Great stained Glass tips for beginners!
Thank you. That was really useful.
These are great tips! I’m just coming back 10:03 to see if I can do this again after 20 years of putting my stained glass aside. Your tips are super helpful! Your baby is cute! Thank you so much!
Thanks I improved quite a bit by picking up broken float glass and practicing on it, cause the glass we buy is precious ❤
Just finished watching, this was a super helpful video!!! Thank you so much! 😮 I haven’t even started yet 😂 just trying to learn more about the ropes before I buy the stuff, and this was AWESOME! Also just great video quality 👍 Please keep it up! Now I’m off to watch all your other videos! 😁
I got the hand held cutters w/ the oil contained in the handle.
Love this video! As a beginner, you think you’re doing it right or at least ok and there are simple tasks to improve just slightly that makes the world a difference. I was waiting for my glass grinder in the beginning during the time of them all being back ordered when Covid started. I became inpatient waiting for the grinder, to be delivered, that I was trying my hand at grinding with the stone and I give you props, man. 😅 That is a tedious task. 🤣 It an experience though! 🌱💚
Haha yea grinding with the stone is not a fun thing to do if you have the grinder right there. But I do use it just for small jobs and it's kinda nice.
I'm in the Bay Area too and originally from the East Bay! I love your videos, btw. I haven't finished collecting all the tools/chemicals needed for stained glass yet but I enjoy watching your videos. I feel like I've learned a lot before even attempting to make anything.
I recommend if you need glass to go to Stained Glass Of Marin if you can! They have a nice choice of glass and for a decent price unlike Stained glass garden. Marry is the owner of the shop and she is super nice and will teach a class for 45$! I’m from Marin incase I didn’t make that obvious lol!
I'm enjoying the east bay. Lots of places to check out and explore! Hope you can start soon!
@@iZiggy_ thanks Ziggy. I might have to check them out!
@@iZiggy_ I’m in the South Bay now so Marin is a little bit of a drive for me, but I’ll make a day to check it out!
Nice to see ya back. Glad to see some dude representation into glass... Feels like im the only one haha
I use 3-in-1 oil in my cutter, it works great 👍🏻
I started a year and a half ago and have made tremendous progress in the hobby very quickly. Your videos were some of the first that I watched before I got a few tools and learned a lot. I'm completely self taught but wish I would have taken a few classes before. Thanks for the inspiration!
I think a good class would take you to a new level and you could always learn something new from the class. Keep it going! 📈
Came for the tips, stayed for the baby. Too cute!
Cute baby
Great tips
I find I never have a problem with my foil if I run each piece under warm water and dry completely
So while the piece is warm but dry it sticks and never comes off
A little more work though😊
Thanks
Patricia
Bay Area Rocks! 😎
Soaking cotton ball in oil of choice dipping your cutter each time you cut.
Yes a great tip thank you 😀
I love cemeteries,they’re so peaceful. Thanks so much for the tips and the “tour” of your city.🍩☕️🤩
Thanks Mindy! I have a feeling we will visit that cemetery again!
Were you at Sunset View in El Cerrito/Kensington? I thought I might have recognized my grandparents’ markers behind you. 🌺 Great presentation, by the way!
Yes I was! Small world! 😯
hello. please where will get some of these glass cutters
I recognized that cemetery right away, I live in FF..are there any local shops that sell glass and other supplies that you would recommend?
I was taught to stop cutting just short of the edge or the glass might chip. And this is the first I have heard of patina being toxic. I have never noticed fumes or had any ill effects from patina.
One thing I've been doing to make old tape stick on a lot better (especially when getting to the end of a roll) is wetting the edge of the glass and immediately wiping it off with a paper towel. I've never had a better stick with new or old tape then when I do that.
I'll try that, thanks for the tip!
What is the lead that you use on stained glass windows
wow!! Fabulous tips, buddy!!!
Thanks so much!!
I wish I knew how to unfreeze a stripped screw on my electric glass grinder. I want to change the wheel but can't get it off.
I wonder if a dremel could be used to smooth the glass edges? Or would a bench grinder work?
Both will work (if you have the right stone or bit) but will result in a lot of glass dust flying around (unless you can find a way of keeping the cut under constantly flowing water). You also risk chipping the edge.
I've done both. Not to be recommended...
Hello,
Can you tell me why my soldering work is getting black and not copper color. thanks
when I practice scoring on plain hobby glass i hear the sound but when i am scoring the stained glass I don't hear that cutting sound or hear it very lightly and its throwing me off. Does different types of glass sound different?
good instruction very usefull ; also I use magnetic unther the glass to hold in place my trng or so like this i am able to place it where it is the best and nothing move when i put solder very easy whit strong magnet from hard disk for exemple thank for demo ; also I use spring cutter like this my pressure is all time ok for minimum maybe max is over sometime not using ouil ???

Thanks for your video !! Question, do you grind even when your cuts are smooth? Does the grinding help to attach the foil better?
Your baby is cute, keep up your great info!!🙏
Thanks Ana! You don't have to grind when the cut is good. But you can grind to help attach the foil if you'd like if that spot is giving you trouble but usually not necessary.
@@StainedGlassDIY sure, thanks for the info
Can we use WD 40 as a cutting oil ? Also for smoothing the edges isn’t it better to make the stone wet ?
Diesel works also for cutting.
I was taught to NOT go over the far edge. (I'm not claiming being right because you gave a good reason also.) I think the reason was to not chip the edge. My instructor had us stop at about 1/16 - 1/8" from. Just saying. Liked your vid.
I never had an adverse result doing it like I relate - but it's been a while since I was active, and I only made a few panels and a lamp.
what if you run into a imperfection while scoring the glass and it stops or jumps?
is patina the same thing as flux??
I sure wish you had an apron with your slogan on it in XL size.
Today is April 29th, 2023 I miss you! I hope you are having a happy, healthy life and enjoying your beautiful family everyday! 😊 Big fan from Washington State 😃 🌲 🦀
I hope I remember this comment forever ❤ Thank you for your love and support!!
I have a problem with the stained glass cross that made I put the copper on it like you showed in one of the videos but my problem is the top and the cross are very lose I cut it out of three pieces of glass. If I can figure out how to send you a picture of it maybe you can tell me what I can do to fix it. Also I have made some of the paper airplanes only thing is that I pant them and have sold about 5 of them.
Hey Willard you can email me at stainedglassdiy@gmail.com
Ah, Sunset View Cemetery. I lived there 25 years ago when I was going through Mortuary College in SF. 😂
Small world 🌎✌️
I use Parrafine
Can i use dremel with diamond bit to grind glass?
Yes but I think it won't be as effective if you're grinding a lot
I did yesterday, the edges will split and not look very nice. But you can write/draw on glass with dremel plus diamond-tip
My biggest problem is definitely copper foil. I can’t seem to find a consistent source of new foil. They’re almost always old and not sticking 😢
Best right now seems to be the Edco brand foil. Try them out.
👍
Information:
Vaseline oil works great to. Costs are bare non. 0.5liters 7€
U forgot to mention always cut on the smoother side of the glass
I know this neighborhood!
What about gun oil?
Never tried but if it's lighter oil then I think it would work. Just don't want to gum up the wheel with thicker oils.
@@StainedGlassDIY I was just thinking because whatever it's lubricating stays lubricated for a really long time with very little oil and it's non-flammable
May I apply this tips for mirrors?
How to do circles without a circle cutter?
Haha Sounded like there was an angry Cat
Also congrats
I thought you were going to say dont roll your glass cutter on your skin to avoid lead poisoning! Like the pic for your thumbnail!!😵😱
You freaked me out walking through a cemetery and then saying someone is waking up.
All these glass cutters looks like vape pens
A few good tips, thanks, but vert hard to stay focused when using 2380 words to describe simple matters. Shorter and more "get to the point" makes it better....😊
keep your petina, dawg!
Any videos or info using non toxic lead . Doesn’t flow as easy? And copper patina. Mine looks like s**t 👈🏻🫶🏻
