brilliant idea with the frame, thanks for sharing the methods. I'm definitely going to give it a go when I can gather enough glass shapes and a suitable old frame. Here in the UK that might take some time though.
Thanks! I got them from Amazon. They were called "Fixinus 30 Pieces 4.72" Black Nylon Plastic Spudger Probe ...$10.99- back a few years ago" They are not expensive and work great.
Hi, I am using 60/40 leaded solder. I have not used other types for stained glass. I have used lead-free solder when working on electronics and, although it works, it is a bit harder to get it to flow. I would suggest not useg no-clean on stained glass because the no-clean flux residue is meant to stay on the product, this can get clumpy and yellowish with age and can only be removed with harsh chemicals. Because my work is not the "clean- perfect joints-look" but more whimsical, chunky and "free" look- choosing a solder brand usually comes down to composition and price. I have beed using 60/40 from Hobby Lobby (an arts chain store- you can order online) for most of my work. I have used others: mainly Canfield- which is a bit more. Most of my work includes areas where the gaps between glass shapes is literally filled with solder. This makes me use more solder than many traditional artists. The odd shapes and pieces used in my work make the possibility of smooth solder seams kind of a moot point. Thanks for watching and commenting on my site :)
Very tedious work! You must have the patience of a Saint! Beautiful 😍

I saw an eye below the cloth, very spooky!😏
where?
Oh, now I see it- yes spooky!! :)
It looked like a dog’s eye. The naughty dog was probably under the table demanding attention may be?
does it matter if we use 60/40 or 67/34 or lead-free solder wire and which one you used?

No sound? Please consider dyslexics. It’s hard to watch instructional vids AND read instructions.
My newer videos all have sound- I am planning on adding sound to those that I did not have sound added- Thanks for watching.
