Found you on Facebook with the shorter version videos and always wanted to see the longer versions, so delighted to come across and subscribe to your channel here. I love watching you make these fabulous designs, and also hearing about how little, if anything, has changed in the process over the course of hundreds of years. Like any great craftsman, you make very difficult things look easy, please continue posting your videos.
I just took a stained glass class. I don’t know if my skin can handle another class, the glass edges and shards irritated my skin badly. Seeing you handle the glass with bare hands is mesmerizing to me
This is a great design in a very cool setting! I'm gping to have to start watching for repeating motifs in your work, see if I can recognize hints of past gems. Thanks for sharing!
I'm from Hurricane Country and, strangely enough, some of the more ornate homes in my home town have highly ornate stained glass. After relentless hurricanes the best stained glass is now in museums and the rest...have been removed, a Hurricane Rated Window installed and the original stained glass put into a wooden frame to be appliqued to the interior window casement to safe guard the stained glass. Back when my mom was about to pull the trigger to buy a house on a tax sale back in the 70s (dad forbade her from doing it and Alabama being stuck in the 1600s she couldn't buy it without his permission even if it was her own money) ...later we found out the old ramshackle house was a Captain's Final Port. Every bit of wood was re-utilized wooden ship wood. So, teak frame, oak floors, rosewood, cherry wood and more exotics than you can name...and... the entry door had a stained glass oval on an over sized door (8 feet tall by nearly 4 feet wide, old Capt'n was a big'un) and, made by Tiffany & Co. and some of the Came was Silver, not lead. The door knobs were gold plated, the hinges were key'd (inverse and obverse inscribed hinge plates locked in a way you could only open the door in a swing not busting it down) and ornate secure English Locks all around... Mom could have had the house for less than $2k, the entry door Tiffany glass was auctioned off for nearly $3m USD, and the other stained glass in the house was also Tiffany as well. Last family member who owned it, had everything boarded it and it sat for over 30 or 40 years abandoned. Because of the woods used and the quality of the glass and doors, no one ever entered, and nothing rotted....and no termites! which is saying a lot for a house in Coastal Alabama!!!
Such beautiful work! I could only wish to get to your level of expertise. I am self taught through books and a few courses. I watch your videos to understand proper techniques and where I lack in skills. May I ask what you did for the bee's eyes? Was it soldering beads? Again thank you for making these wonderful videos and explaining as you go.😊
When you are brushing in the cement you always cut away because it's a long process, but question about it. At 5:13 you splat a bunch of the cement in the center and start brushing, then at 5:27 nearly all the cement is gone. Do you clean up remaining cement between those two points or are you brushing for so long that that's what the window looks like when finished brushing without any cleaning?
Cheers buddy, tbh if you lead it together correctly it's very rare you'll break any pieces when cementing but it does happen every once in a while. Maybe 1 in 30 windows
@@JanLightLeadedDesigns Thank you a lot Master! Btw. I'm from Czech Republic and I'm having trouble finding the H profile you use. I only have a flat H profile available. So I want to order it from Holland in larger quantities, so that I don't buy some nonsense :)
Jan, such details like the wing of the bee (i mean round details)- do you usually polish them? I cant manage to cut round details..the edges are always curvy and need polishing((
@@JanLightLeadedDesigns a fun RUclips science educator who is obsessed with hexagons and bees 🤣 search for “hexagons are bestagons” and you’ll see what I mean.
The honeybees and hexagons never fail to make me happy! 😊 Beautiful work as always!
Cheers pet 🍻🤗🍻
I appreciate your narration. Learning of the flexibility of the different sizes of lead to show more of the design details. Thank-you 😊
Cheers buddy I like doing the narrative but bloody ell I don't enjoy listening back to it 🤣🤣🤣 hope the subtitles work well for ya 🤣

Aww its brilliant to hear my videos help out 🫶 I solder little semi circles of flat lead for the 👀
That's interesting😗
Is the grey-bordered frame very stiff when bending?
Once made the windows are nice and stiff 💙💜🤍
So glad the algorithms brought me here! Great work. Do you ever break pieces in a where they weren't scored to break?
It does sometimes happen, different types of glass can misbehave and surprise you! 💜

Brushing for a really long time! It took an hour and a bit to cement this window on both sides 💚
Do you ever accidentally break any of the glass pieces during the polishing process? BTW, the final work looks amazing!
Cheers buddy, tbh if you lead it together correctly it's very rare you'll break any pieces when cementing but it does happen every once in a while. Maybe 1 in 30 windows
It was a fabulous one, I would like to know more information about
Lots more videos on my channel with information 💙
Great work beekeeper!!🐝💪😁 How thick are the lead profiles B,C please?! Thank you for your answer. Michal
Around 6mm thick and 6mm wide on this project. Different widths on different projects 🧡

Lindíssimo! Vê-lo trabalhar dá vontade de fazer o mesmo!
Cheers for watching 🍻
Cool!
Thank you 🍻
Beautiful work! What size of H came do you use?
I have a lot of size options, on this one mostly 1/4" 🩷💜🤍
Bravissimo bello👍😃👏👏👏devo decidermi di farli anch'io di che paese sei? 😊
I'm in the UK 🇬🇧
Hello, what thickness of glass are you using?
Hi, It all varies between 3 and 4mm thick
salve irmão,esse seu cortador tem no mercado para venda?passei a gostar muito do seu trabalho,você muito fera!parabéns!
I've not seen them for sale for many years now but if you see them for sale anywhere let me know ❤️
@JanLightLeadedDesigns thank you!
Jan, such details like the wing of the bee (i mean round details)- do you usually polish them? I cant manage to cut round details..the edges are always curvy and need polishing((
When you say polishing do you mean grinding smooth?
@@JanLightLeadedDesigns Yes, to make edges smooth. Or its not neccesary for this kind of stained glass?
What did you mix into the grate polish???
A keen eye! What's your best guess
The outer edge should be hexagonal, of course.
It's probably been 10 years since I've last made a hexagon window!
Mi piacerebbe aqquistarli ma come faccio a contattarti? 😊👏👏👏👏
All my projects are commissions but I can only make for clients who are able to collect in person once made from my workshop in Manchester UK 💚

Do you design your own patterns?
I draw every project to the exact requirements of each client 🫶🫶🫶
… did CGP Grey order this?…
Whos that buddy?
@@JanLightLeadedDesigns a fun RUclips science educator who is obsessed with hexagons and bees 🤣 search for “hexagons are bestagons” and you’ll see what I mean.
First, I thought it was a hexagonal dungeons and dragons map 🤓
I see hexagons when I sleep 🤣🤣
Impressionante bravura
