Very helpful! It is so nice of you to give a shout out to other artist.
Thank you for these fantastic and informative videos. You’ve enticed me to jump into this form of art and what I need to buy to make learning this work for me with minimal frustration. Cheers from Texas!
You’re very welcome! Glad you’re starting to make stained glass !🙏🙂
I follow you and all those you recommended. You all have truly inspired me and improved my technique as a hobbyist. I just wish I had the time to make it a career. Thank you for your helpful and informative videos.
So glad you find my videos of value, and thanks for your support Donna!🙏🙂
I did stained glass for 3 years before discovering gel flux. The way it sticks to zinc framing is a game changer. The liquid flux balls up and runs away on zinc. Good tips, thanks
Thanks!
Yes! No one mentions this! Paste or gel flux is necessary for adding wire and zinc :)
I’m looking for a new hobby and I’m so glad I’ve found you. Lots of great tips before I start to buy supplies.
Awesome!
Thanks Derek! Two of my necessary tips that no one seems to talk about are: 1) Paste flux for zinc and wire additions, 2) Rheostat to better control iron temp.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Thank you so much for this!
You’re welcome!🙏🙂

Ceramicist with ADHD here considering taking stained glass classes this fall (cause you know....I don't have enough to do keeping up with pottery production for shows lol..) and diving down the youtube rabbit hole until then. Ty for this great resource and the encouragement to get good tools if you're going to invest in it! I suspect this will be helpful when I dive in knowing me x D
Hey there! Thank you so much for your support. You'll find lots of tutorials and inspirational videos on stained glass on my channel to keep you even more busy! lol

Textured glass, score on smooth side. Score once. Don't go over the score a 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc time. Just get a buzzing sound when you score. Use light pressure to achieve a score. Buy the best quality tools you can afford. Cheap tools will only cause problems down the road. Pistol grip glass cutter excellent for those with limited hand strength. Ya live by the tap when you score glass, you'll die by the tap as well. Pay attention what he says about running pliers. I have used Weller soldering irons for 45 years. My oldest iron is probably 40 years old and will works great. Buy a good soldering iron and spend the money. Otherwise you will have quality issues in your soldering since the tips are lousy, they don't maintain heat consistently. Pay attention to what this man says. He offers very sound advice.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
I love Mackenzie! She inspires me endlessly and her nails are like mine! 😂❤
Awesome!
I've tried a lot of cutters and the oil-filled Toyos always leak for me, sooner or later. You can get replacement o-rings but they don't seem to hold up either. So I just use mine without oil in the reservoir and keep an oil-soaked sponge or small pool of oil in a bottle cap next to where I'm working. Old school solution but it works fine. I couldn't get used to pistol grip cutters so all of mine are pen-type. I've never seen one with the little sticky-out bit halfway down but I'm definitely going to look into them because my hand strength isn't great. And I'm curious, where do you stand on the swivel-tip cutters, as opposed to the fixed-tip ones?
Thanks for your feedback. I also dip my cutter in a cotton bud with oil rather than fill the cutter body, because they always leak. The heads on my cutters all swivel a bit.
Hello sir !
Cool life hacks! You have a talent for this creative work! My like and subscribe to you! Keep making beauty! I wish you creative inspiration! Best regards Mr.Hi! :)
That’s very kind of you, and much appreciated! Thanks for your support 🙏🙂
Toyo cutters of good, but German made Silberschnitt are superior in my opinion.
Interesting, I will try to get hold of a Silberschnitt glass cutter - you are the second person to mention them :-)
Can’t get a Weller iron
Can you get a Hakko iron instead?
@@DerekHuntArtist thxs. I have a new iron coming, not sure of brand. I just miss my old weller. None available in Australia.
I have a cutter that has a hand made spindle handle that allows me to cut towards me and it has a toyo head and relieved the tension in my shoulders and back. No stress on my hands.
Wow, that sounds like a useful piece of kit !
