Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful demonstration of how to make the sun catcher, I have always want to try it but didn’t know how to go about making it, thank you for sharing your beautiful art. So happy to have found your channel.
hello! this particular jig my father made for me and I think it is 4 pieces of 4x4 bolted together. It was enormous though and I found a maker on Etsy who made them and bought a second one that worked a bit better.
I add a long piece of thicker wire that I solder deep into the seams to help distribute the weight, and I feed the wire through one end of the swivel, twist it into a bit of a loop, then finish soldering the wire into those seams.
I’m not sure if it’s made any longer, but I think it was from Morton? I’ve had it forever, but if you can’t find it on Amazon or from a glass supply store, I betting someone could 3D-print it.

Awesome! So cool!
❤ beautiful!
Beautiful!❤️
Could you show or comment on how you apply the little bead in the center. Thanks. Great video!
It's one of the squashed glass globs and I foiled around the edge and then soldered it to the edges of the glass pieces.
Love this, where does one get that yellow holder and what is it called?
Hello! I can’t recall what it is called, but I going from Delphi and it is a Morton brand mold.
Delphi Glass have a "Professional Box Maker" for sale that will do maybe an even better job for square /rectangle soldering.
Maravilloso 🥰
What temp is your iron when you are tacking them together, so well done!
I’m not exactly sure. I use a heat temp controller and I usually set it between 70 and 80 depending on what my solder is doing that day.
I was trying to see the steps you took.....speeding the video made it difficult.
Great video, thank you for sharing. Curious how you attached the hanger ?
I soldered a length of wire with a loop on the end for the hanger and extra long sides to get it soldered into the seams to help with the weight.
Great video! Did you make the wood jig? If so, is there a pattern or instructions? Looks like it’s 4” blocks bolted together.

Thank you! I'm ready to attempt my first spinner. Do you put a bead on the outer edges after you assemble or is it just tinned?
I just have these tinned. I do snake the hanging wire down well into the piece to take the weight easier.
Do you attach the swivel to the loop or at the top of the chain?
I add a long piece of thicker wire that I solder deep into the seams to help distribute the weight, and I feed the wire through one end of the swivel, twist it into a bit of a loop, then finish soldering the wire into those seams.
Where can I purchase that yellow framing gadget?

Beautiful
What is the yellow tray your using ?
It’s from Morton. I think it was bought through Delphi Glass several years back.
Where did you get the yellow holder for holding the pieces to solder the 45 degree angles
I think it's a Morton systems form and I'm guessing I got it from Delphi at some point.
@@BrokenArtGlass thank you
Çok güzel harika bir uygulama 👌 👏 👏 👏 harika bir tasarım
They don’t spin
It takes a bit of wind because the glass is heavy. I use a fishing spinner to get the movement in mine and that seems to work well.
@@BrokenArtGlass you can also buy a battery operated spinner on amazon.
This is too fast,
