I appreciate seeing the initial failure. You could’ve just made a video about making a stained glass window, but the iteration process was really shows how not every idea works and sometimes you have to kill your darlings. Thanks Simone!
was just expecting the whole video to turn out to be an explanation why no one does these things
Sorry, my cat was walking all over my keyboard just now and thought this was a highly passive aggressive comment about abortion. Churns me to my stomach, passive aggression. Just say what you're thinking for fuck's sake.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
This times at least eleven.
Thats how simone always (as far as i know) capture eatch project. With the hights and the lows. I also like it, it shows how truly genuine she is!
As a DIYer, whenever you have the question "is it going to leak?" The answer is usually, unfortunately, yes.
SCHOOL! The answer is I don't go! Why go? I am famous. I am famous. I have more fans than fingers multiplied with toes multiplied with teeth multiplied with ears. I am famous. I am famous. SCHOOL? No, thanks. RUclips FAME? Yes. Good day, dear bor

WARNING
I learned this process as a kid, from my grandfather, who did it as a hobby. I have some he did decades ago. Please note that if not stored in pretty much vertical (yours is almost horizontal) the copper/solder will not remain rigid. I could sag and break.
I suggest modifying your frame to have a second pane of solid clear glass just beneath it. You’ll be glad later.
I don't have that experience but just from looking at those big pieces of glass and those small soldering lines I was also wondering if this would really hold.
That large sheet of acrylic would be a really great choice for this
I was thinking the same as it could just drop out after small time please consider putting it in an acrylic sandwich to support it to last the for decades rather than months. Very good project really enjoyed it than you, be well be happy
I wonder if she saw this and addressed it
You can solder zinc bars to the back to reinforce the window.
"I've never worked in stained glass before, but I've got a lot of Band-Aids and I'm excited to try it out." I love that line. 😂😂 1:13 Enthusiastic and practical. 😂😂
"I've never worked in X before, but I've got a lot of Band-Aids" is now going to be one of my favourite sayings. I literally laughed out loud at that.
ha ha - right?
"I hate this so much and I feel so defeated" is an integral part of any project I start. In some projects I get to say it a few times!
As a kinda game dev, I can definitely agree to this
No wonder your videos are so creative, you draw inspirstion from most good creators!
Agree!
Reminds me of Nigel Saunders (topic; bonsai) and the same reason I love his channel ; I love to see people being themselves.
Glad to see a new (to me) creative diy'ers. Subbed.
Every time...
I think part of the reason I love simones videos so much is because they remind me of how when I was a kid I wanted to be a wacky inventor, and she actually is a wacky inventor. (Anyone remember that kid from hotel for dogs?)
Yeah i do! I really loved the movie as a kid
May or may not have had something to to with the brain thingy :)
Yes!!!
I’m saying If I know what “makers” were when I was a kid I’d like to think I’d have plenty of weird projects under my belt at the same time I also bet I would’ve got in more trouble too lol
I WATCHED HOTEL FOR DOGS A HUNDRED TIMES
She could have just made a video about how she made a sliding stain glass window and everything turned out perfectly. Instead she showed a very real part of the creative process that happens a lot more than most of us would like to admit. This is one of the reasons I love her so much!
That's taking things back to the days of being "The Queen of Sh!tty Robots", trying and failing, trying and failing, wait, let's try something else. It's a great process!
My grandma passed away Dec. 24, 2014, and she used to do stained glass. I still have a few pieces that she made me... seeing you do this window, hearing the grinder, hearing the glass cutter and the satisfying 'snap' when the pieces come apart, even watching the patina do it's magic... brought back even the most mundane memories of hearing all that in the next room. But even the most mundane memories of her are special to me, and I didn't realize that watching a stranger on the internet could bring them up like this. Thank you Simone, very much. And your window looks beautiful.
that is so beautiful thank you for sharing those memories
my grandpa also did stained glass as a hobby and he passed six months ago. i never got to watch him work but so many of his pieces made me appreciate stained glass forever
beautiful :) bless you

Words to live by.
we need this on a t-shirt (that looks like stained glass)
Look up stained glass window bracing. It is bracing you solder to the back of large stained glass windows. You need it to keep your window from sagging, especially in a tilted installation. Over time, the adhesive copper tape you soldered over will start to slip. The tape is designed to keep the glass pieces together, not support a full window. You can hide the bracing along your solder joints if you are clever. I used to teach stained glass and want to say great job on your first piece!
Boost!
At least this should first visibly sag, not one day disastrously fall down? Because that would be a bad breakfast with glass everywhere.
Commenting to boost attention to this!
i was wondering why i've only ever seen stained glass vertically .. now i know
Bump!
i just fucking love how Simone is slowly turning her home into heaven by making it "less boring" i can't wait to do the same to my future home!

@@Metal-Possum ^
It's so insanely uplifting that you show the entire process with all the failures that eventually led to such a great outcome. It's too easy to forget that failure is simply a part of learning and growing.
I absolutely love working with stained glass. It's surprisingly easy and the result is just so damn cool. My dad used to make stained glass windows professionally and he taught me how to do it by making one together when I was in high school. One of my fondest memories.
Impressed that you went for soldered copper foil assembly on your first window. It came out SO GOOD! You mentioned not enjoying the grinding, so I'll point out that it's totally not necessary. You can just skip it as long as your cuts are accurate enough (which they really looked like they were). The copper foiled segments won't line up as perfectly, but you can easily fill any voids with solder. Alternatively, you can try lead "came" (extruded channel) assembly which is much more forgiving and looks just as good at window scale. You really only need copper foil for very detailed or nonplanar work, like lampshades.
Would love to see more stained glass on your channel! I hope you continue having fun with this medium, and I really hope your video inspires more people to take up a pair of grozing pliers. =)
As a writer, I identify a little too strongly with the journey of "I hate every part of this," to "I can't believe this is a thing I made, I love this."
"I hate this so much and I feel so defeated" has to be one of the universal truths when it comes to being creative.
Not to mention that feeling at 7:22.
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve said “Fuck gravity” during a project… Love watching you invent!

This is a bit of a weird tangent, but this just makes me think of all the amazing fine art that a spacefaring civilization could make in zero gravity areas and how planetside folks couldn't have those art pieces for any amount of money. I don't know why, but that's just such a beautiful idea to me.
My mom used to be a stained glass artist--she has since moved to fused glass, but have to agree that there is nothing more satisfying than getting the break right. You are a natural! Ambitious project for your first time, and so glad it worked out.
Simone, why must you bring to my attention YET ANOTHER hobby that I want to try with my limited time and space? 🤣
so you'll be forced to become a content creator and slowly start earning money from trying out hobbies until it can be your full time job (yes I looked at your channel)
I looked too, thanks to Lars, and subscribed.
You can do it!!!!!!
Most shops where you go to buy the stained glas and supplies offer classes. Sign up for one then you can use their stuff. 👍
@@superfluff106 suckers!
There is one change I really recommend: To avoid any objects that might fall over in your roof storage hitting the window and breaking your work of art there, put a nicely thick sheet of transparent polycarbonate or acrylic on top of the frame. Some 6mm should be good to start with. Polycarbonate is nicely impact resistant, this might be the best choice.
i imagine there should be a bit of distance between the glass and the acrylic, but the width of the frame should already take care of that
It would be better for insulation too, probably help with noise some.
@ Yepp!
@@geirkselim2697 Indeed!
Encapsulate the stained glass into a double glazed unit with laminate glass on the underside and toughened on the topside this would satisfy uk building regs and support the stained glass and stop it sagging under its own weight over time. Good vid and lots of fun 😀
I rewatched this one today, this time with captions. When Simone said “It’s so GOOD!” the captions read, “It’s so WEIRD!” I felt that fit her vibe so much 😁
I love how proud of yourself you are. I had that same feeling when I figured out (through trial an error) how to do leather work. You’re 100% correct, taking the mystery out of processes is the best feeling.
That was so cool to see the process of failure, defeat and then triumph. Looks awesome!
Did not expect to see you here, Capp! Fully agreed, owning the failure and sharing it is super brave of you Simone and the finished project looks soooo good!
Gosh, the wild amounts of cathartic joy I felt when I heard the sound of the triumphant music playing when she was making the window after all the struggling she had with the water stuff was SO POTENT
(idk if this comment has an ounce of correct grammar but i think it makes my point)

Just slowly being Pavloved into experiencing joy when that music plays
Yeah, that music is awesome.

"I've never made stained glass before, bit I have a lot of bandaids." I feel like their is some kind of powerful message in that mentality. Like to be open to giving effort into something new and hard even though it might be risky.

"The amount of pumps I bought?"
God I felt this lol. It's the worst when you drop a bunch of money on a project then the scope changes and you're like okay I guess I just own these now?
"It's okay! I'll use them for another project (I hope)"
Usually it happens while they are shipping, so by the time the thing shows up, you don't need it anymore.
@@ianjohnson370 I'm glad I'm not the only the one, this happens regularly
YES but also, I recently came around to using something I bought for another project 5 years ago soooooo
Awesome job on your first window. However I must warn that over time it WILL sag. Please consider adding some reinforcement. Us stained glassers usually call it 'rebar' but it's not like the stuff used in concrete work. It's usually a zinc coated flat or round steel bar. You can either solder the rebar directly to the window, or solder copper wires to the window and twist tie them to a rebar. I'd hate to see that beautiful window sag and eventually crack. I hope this helps!
In place of rebar maybe reusing the plexiglass panels from earlier could help support/protect her artwork.
@@aayotechnology also in SoCal it doesn't hurt to use the plexiglass to avoid trembler showers when the medium sized earthquakes make for Rockin and Rollin'.
Safety 🦺 First!
@@aayotechnology came here to say this. And if there’s a lot of sunlight shining on it, that could soften the solder. I think that a thick, heat-resistant, clear acrylic pane on the bottom (living room) side at the very least would keep it from sagging and also help prevent any head-bumping mishaps! Perhaps widen the groove that the stained glass sits in and insert the acrylic in front of it so it rests on it. Like a photo rests on glass in a picture frame.
I'm going to add a plexiglass layer on the bottom to help support the stained glass!
@@simonegiertz why not both sides? The top will be easier to clean
Loved the process and always wanted to learn stained glass. You showed me how it it can be approachable, so off I go!
This is one of the first genuinely uplifting videos (or things, period) I have seen online in quite a while. Like, I actually feel good after watching this, not just like I suspended my negative feelings for a while. Thank you! And the window looks amazing!

It's actually a perfect addition to the aesthetic of the rest of your place and it also brings more light into the area, making it look even bigger.

Yep can vouch for this. As an engineer that sense of frustration where you tried everything and nothing is working is very familiar. And as it happens, you often have to change your approach entirely until you can make headway. The satisfaction in the end is amazing.
That lemon is gorgeous! And honestly the design feels like it fits the house more than the initial ideas which is so accurate to the creative process!

Going from sad and frustrated Simone to happy and proud Simone was such a trip, but I loved it.
When you nearly gave up with the window leaking...I felt that. This is how every day in software development feels after 25 years. I watch you BECAUSE you fail so gracefully (I know you swear more off camera, etc. I get it) and keep on trying. It is sooo hard sometimes and I love your process even when it sucks. It feels like I'm not the only one who struggles alone. Thanks.
Love how I ( and probably lots of other people) saw :”Why do windows have to be so boring” and immediately started questioning it. I want to change every window in my house to stained glass now. I didn’t like it before this video
I mean, I personally prefer my windows to be boring so the focus is what's on the other side of the windows, but stained glass windows are perfect if that's not the case
Stained glass is great... if you live in a climate that doesn't require double-paned windows.
If you do, there's always stained glass interior doors where privacy isn't a concern!

That looks so freakin' good installed!
thank you!!
@@simonegiertz Literally everything you do turns out amazing. Love how the stained glass looked in the end. I think the rain-forest thing might have worked if you used a lot less water. Think of it like actual rain flowing down a glass window. You don't want to saturate the acrylic with water but have just enough to maintain a steady drip from a pump fed tube, at the top, running horizontally with holes poked in it along its length, spaced a few centimeters apart. That way the acrylic wouldn't buckle, the water wouldn't pool up so much at the bottom and it would be a lot lighter. I had a similar idea that I wanted to apply to my acrylic PC side panel. I didn't get too far with it because I got distracted and made a lightsaber instead 😂
Simone, That looks awesome! I hope you allowed for expansion in the frame. The grooves shouldn't be tight on the glass, you should have a gap for expansion. You can put a product called Space Balls, I know, cool name, in between the wood and the glass that will keep the glass panel snug, but still allow for expansion and contraction. Foam window insulation can work in a pinch too.
It's actually called space balls? Why?
uppp
@@Makujah_ Because they're little compressible balls that space the frame from the glass.
@@F3Ibane so no schwartz then, that's too bad
@@Makujah_ They are small balls that take up space between the grooves in the stiles, and rails, and the panel. They're used in woodworking for making panel frames for doors and furniture. .
9:28 is so right though. I’ve been sewing/doing textile crafts my entire life, and I just recently picked up cross stitch. It’s so so much easier to learn because it’s basically a simpler combination of embroidery and crochet, both things I know how to do.
Love Simone, I don't have any influencers/people I look up to or respect. But damn...Simone, you take all the cake. Just because she doesn't hide her quirkiness and just builds what she sees in her head and will learn what she needs to make it happen. Makes me feel better for having multiple hobbies, crafts, and skills.
Jealous of the friends that are now receiving stained glass birthday gifts haha. This was awesome
It's so wonderful when you can watch a masterclass, absolute professional stain glass cutter share their years of experience
Doesn't matter if you make a video about a project you'll give up on half-way through. It'll still be worth watching! But oh, that sheer joy at the end of the video--I felt that!!
I have used both of these approaches (water and particulates between glass) for 2 stage prop projects. One was supposed to emulate a glass bathroom door that was intended to make it look like the bathroom was filling up with water ("Heart Of A Dog"). The other was a window outside of which we were supposed to be seeing an active blizzard ("Bus Stop").
I experienced the same issues with plexiglass bulge on the bathroom door and decided to add spacers that held the internal sides together at several intervals. I hid them by adding mullions to the window. The bit worked well but was a tremendous amount of effort for a one-off at the end of Act One...
In the snow storm window, I wanted to have fake (plastic) snow flakes blow around inside a 4" cavity between 2 layers of plexiglass measuring 6' x 4'. the top and sides of the cavity were closed to the outside. I put a bunch of muffin fans across the bottom of the cavity (blowing up) with regular door screen over them (to keep the snow inside the cavity) to create an updraft. I also put a single muffin fan at one bottom side end of the cavity to move the snow horizontally across the bottom fans. The concept was sound however I found I needed much more air flow from the cross wind fan than I could get out of a 4" muffin. a 2 HP vacuum cleaner fan worked great, however it was so loud the actors could not be heard and the theater was so small I couldn't remote the fan far enough away to effectively mask the noise. I tried the same system with the original fans using EPS foam balls instead of the plastic snow flakes but they were too prone to static electric charges and after a few minutes just stuck to the plexiglass. Sadly I had to abandon the prop.
Had friends somewhere in my life's last 40 years' journey, much closer to 30 to 40 years ago who did srtained glass work and watching them work was amazing! Your window looks fantastic, although you may need to put a layer of glass/plastic on the bottom face before gravity defeats your joints holding the glass in, 'cause it will.
I hope she sees this comment
loved the process to get to the end product.
"I bought so many pumps!"
That window did actually look amazing, it got me thinking why not get rid of curtains and have sliding blinds like that!!
money thats why. slides that are 40-60" long cost anywhere from 100-300 a unit
This is now one of my favourite videos in all of RUclips. Seeing the lowest lows and highest highs, just separated by mere seconds!
Oh wow. I have to say, I subscribed to this channel a long time ago, but I fell off RUclips for years. I came back recently and seeing this on my home page was a real treat. The stained glass looks lovely. Absolutely gorgeous. And feeling the pain!!!!! Of the whole process before the stained glass!!!!!! It was brutal and I'm glad I stayed with the video. You do amazing things, Simone. Keep up the great work!
This turned into one of the coolest and best looking home improvement projects I’ve seen. The personal touch it adds just makes your home look so cozy. Great job!
That window turned out so cool! I am going to make custom windows for my shop!
I wonder if you could actually use a second circular pane to make a watertight circular section around the center and pumped water and glitter tangentially, if it would make cool spiral patterns. It would look really rad with sunlight filtering through the spiralling fluids of different densities.
Probably not a good idea for outside Windows. Doesn't look very energy efficient or strong for that matter.
@@nathanb011 water has significant thermal mass. It will heat well from the sun, and hold that well into the night. Water filled windows are quite common in low energy households.
@@subashchandra9557 I was thinking more about keeping the heat out, as opposed to in. Vacuum sealed windows, for example, are very common where I live.
Also, her final design didn't have water in it. It was a single pane with ridges that could easily be punched out with a rubber mallet.
To be clear, I am not criticizing her work. The window looks great and is in between two already closed locations. But you should never do something like that on ground level.
That is a beautiful piece, and I love that you made the door a slider mechanism, the cherry on top.
This is the realest diy video I’ve ever seen and I LOVE IT. Thank you for you sharing your process and incredible projects!!
Your utter glee upon the completion of this project was so heartwarming- we've all experienced failures, and it's wonderful to watch that phenix rise!
this looks SO GOOD with the rest of the house, it looks like the window was meant to be there! Also as an amateur stained glass maker, your first piece came out looking incredible. will absolutely be stealing that hot gluing 2 pieces together to grind them trick!
The sadness at 5:10 is so relatable that while I empathized with you I also felt so much comfort in seeing someone also have these moments of things falling apart
This might be my favorite project I’ve ever watched you make. It makes me want to get into stained glass making. That lemon is GORGEOUS. Kudos to you as well for leaving in your initial projects failure. It’s important for other people to realize we all fail, but the important thing is finishing SOMETHING you’re proud of.
The window is amazing! I would never have guessed it was your first project if I hadn't seen this video. A suggestion if you haven't already, I'd build a sturdy box over where it sits when it is open, so you don't risk dropping something on it when you're bringing things in or out of the hatch.
That's a good idea.
Your smile when you closed the window for the first time and got to see your completed work, was everything. Made my whole day.
My mom started learning to make stained glass about 4 months ago. She would be so jealous of how easy you make this look!
failure is the building base for success. we must fail to find what works and what does not. great to see you not cutting out the initial failure.
How I know life will be okay - 10:03 when the music starts and Simone has figured it all out. Heartwarming
its just so so happy :')
I love that music

@@zachthelower I stand corrected
7:22 man this shot is just comedy gold while the frame just keeps on dripping while you rant
Loved the video and the lemon window
I lost it when she growled that line. I replayed it like 10 times. People are still looking at me weird.
I enjoyed knowing from both bitter personal experience and triumphs that you weren't faking us out with any of the earlier stuff, and you really went from zero to stained glass ninja master in one project. The happy accident was finding the right medium.
I love how real she is.
the glass looks so beautiful, and I'm so glad you shared the first part about failure and defeat, and all your other tidbits are so inspiring. Also you're trending! Congrats on the viral video :D
Yeah, Simone is great about sharing all the hiccups. It's such a vital part of the design/engineering process, and the sooner we all embrace the importance of making mistakes, the sooner we will be happier and more successful makers.
How beautiful! Both the design and execution are equally awesome.
Thanks for sharing your journey through this. It's great you showed the water tank idea that was a total failure. Makers need to share in the knowledge that not every project will work, and share why the good idea fairy sucks sometimes. Great job with the stained glass lemon, you have a eye for what works in your space!
when i saw the stained glass montage genuine tears of joy came to my eyes
Never thought I could enjoy watching someone make a window but I did haha

Anna is a beautiful girl.
He's the person I love, he's my light
day. The way the music flows and sounds
is extravagant and fun. Anna is
icon, legend, beautiful girl, princess, inspiration,
a star. I could go on and on, understand this.
I love NBA Anna.#垃圾
This turned out so good! Hook up a spotlight in the room above it so you can enjoy it at nighttime too. It fits in SO well with the rest of the house. A fitting tree-bute indeed!
i honestly wasn't that excited for the lava lamp or rain or snow concept ones but your stain glass is GORGEOUS and i'm glad you chose to do it!!
This is wonderful! I took a stained glass class a long time ago and watching you make the window reminded me of how much I thoroughly loved working with stained glass. Your lemon window turned out so amazing! 😊🍋
