I was just watching a how its made video on stain glass windows when this video came up on auto play. Didn't plan on watching but you caught my attention. Now I think I found a new hobby for my wife and I!
Super cool video, being into electronics the solder I understand easily why you're choosing one solution over the other. Very well explained. I might give it a try, although the grinder I would first try manual.
Great job! You kept it moving along at a good pace and didn’t lose my interest. I haven’t started my first project yet but feel more confident about shopping for supplies now. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thank you for making this video! Very clear explanations and well-spoken, and very informative. It's a great introduction and I appreciate the detail you went into especially on the upkeep of the tools- too many people just show a tool and then link where to get it, but don't actually tell you how to clean/treat it so it stays nice and new. Thanks for sharing what you know!
I’m a very very beginner not got a clue where to start, but, I do know now from this video,Thank you,,very much for very clear basic info. Wish me luck as I start to collect equipment 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😀
Hi there: Good morning from Miami. I just want to tell you : AMAZING VIDEO !!!!!!!! BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN SO FAR IN YOU TUBE EXPLAINING DETAILED WHAT A PERSON NEEDS TO START IN THE " STAINED GLASS WORLD'' THANKS SO MUCH !!!!!!!
I have been doing stained glass paint because it's a fun little hobby but I want to step it up a notch and actually do real stained glass. Your video is incredibly informative. Thanks! :)
I need to do links more often. In the mean time you can pretty much search on amazon for all the supplies. Hobby Lobby carries stained glass supplies also. Of course they are closed now but....
WOW, what a great instructor! After watching your video, I feel like I can jump in and roll with a project. Question: I can't find the solid zinc or flexible edging. Hobby Lobby doesn't carry it. Thank you soooo much for sharing your talent and creating such an appealing demonstration on how to get started! Also, I looked on eBay and can't find a foil machine - suggestions?
Hi Leah. Thanks for your feedback. The supplier I bought from is no longer in business but there are many online retailers including Amazon. The flexible edging is on Amazon and here's a link: www.amazon.com/64-Round-Lead-Hobby-Came/dp/B00JMH9FLM/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=lead+came+9%2F64+flat&qid=1596292582&sr=8-8 The foiling machine is: www.amazon.com/VGCE-LGDF-Diegel-Stained-Foiler/dp/B007G8CNDQ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=stained+glass+foiling+dispenser&qid=1596292792&sr=8-1 You can probably find a cheaper foiling machine but the one I listed is very good. Good Luck!
Loved your vid!!! I just bought second hand grinder and assorted tools. Found some 63/37 solder in the basement. Will that be ok to use with foiled glass?
I am actually about to start this, just need a few more supplies. I didn't catch what type of paper you use as a stencil? Is it obviously see through as well?
That type is called a "Diegel Foiler". You can google it. I found one on www.swartglass.com/Diegel-Foiler_p_10121.html I mounted mine on a piece of wood so I could clamp it to a table if necessary. Good Luck!
Ann, I'm guessing you probably meant a sheet of 3mm opal streaky from the Bullseye factory? If so, the answer is a definite Yes! That's its main purpose. :)
I bought it over 10 years ago from an online store called globalsgs but I dont think they are still in business. I'll look around to see if I can locate one.
I looked for about 10 minutes...thats crazy. Next time I go to the stained glass store, I'll ask the guy about them. Which is not a bad idea for you to call some glass shops and ask about it. There's not a lot of stores around but they exist.
@@AlleyPicked I will do that. I am a beginner, got a ton of supplies and tools from my aunt who stopped doing stained glass after 40 years but I have no idea what is what or where to begin so I need to find a local shop that hopefully has classes.
I found it! www.amazon.com/VGCE-LGDF-Diegel-Stained-Foiler/dp/B007G8CNDQ This one doesn't look like it has a burnisher built it. However, I asked at a local stained glass shop in Chicago and he sells them with a burnisher as well as a block of wood on the bottom for $110. He will mail one to you if you are interested. Frederick Stained Glass in Chicago. You can call him at (773) 725-2218.
Wow, ya got me excited now! Was looking for info on basic soldering, which led me to you. About how much is the start-up costs for beginners? Thank for sharing. Good teacher:)
Glad to hear you are interested! If you buy everything new you will spend under $100. However, the glass grinder is really important and those can cost $100-$250. You can find used ones also. My foray into the stained glass world was a class. The cost of the class included a kit of tools. It's a fun and relaxing hobby. Good luck. Tom
Thanks. I often err on the side of keeping my videos shorter since most people only watch 2 minutes of most videos. If you want any bench details let me know.
When you're really into a hobby people who don't know what to give you will sometimes try to pick tools or supplies as a gift. Unfortunately, if you spend so much time on a hobby that people want to give you stuff related to it, you probably actually have all the tools you need. Or at least, all the cheaper tools. You notice in the video he said he hasn't really used any of those items he said were gifted to him.
I’m interested in starting stained glass art but the lead in the solder scares me😰 is it really safe to just hold the solder like that with your hands?
That is s very good question. While I am not a scientist my understanding is that there are really only two ways lead can get into our bodies. You can ingest it and you can inhale lead dust. You CANNOT get it through your skin. The particles are far too large to pass through the skin barrier. However, if you still are uncomfortable, you can wear a mask and gloves. Hey, we are all wearing masks anyway :-)
Good question. Here is my understanding but I am not an expert. There are really only two ways lead can get into our bodies. You can ingest it and you can inhale lead dust. You CANNOT get it through your skin. The particles are far too large to pass through the skin barrier. Basically, wash your hands thoroughly after working with lead and avoid touching your face after working with lead.

@@johngallahhh That's ridiculous! Have you even read the information you attached?!? Obviously it varies according to geographical origins with not one correct way to pronounce it. I am one of multiple millions of people that pronounce this word exactly as he did. What I don't understand is why you freakin care! This video was fantastic - extremely informative, very well put together & excellently delivered, yet you want to call attention to one letter in one word. Then go so far as to drum up some article to support your "who gives a 🤬 claim", which really doesn't support. This is awfully petty John, awfully petty! You should get a hobby & stop trolling please! Thank you.
Thank you for making this. This is so helpful, with clear explanations of everything we need or can use.❤

This is the best video I watched that’s straight forward yet genuine!! Thank youuuuu
Thank you, for the great information have always wanted to get into this and it really helped get me started!
Im Making a Cathedral-esque Chassis for my Desktop computer with a stained glass side panel. Thank you so much for the very easy explanation!
That's a great starter vid, very clear explanations. Looking forward to seeing how it's done. Thanks mate, and happy New Year.
Thanks Mark! Happy New Year!
Thank you. I am learning to do stained glass. I am a beginner.

I hope it goes well. I took a class for my first exposure. It was the best way to learn. RUclips can be the 2nd best :-)
Loved it!!!
I am learning Stained Glass. Thank you. This video helps me a lot.

Best vd about stain glass on you tube very well explained in detail thank you sir 🙂
Thank you!
Great video.. what would only makes it better is if you listed links in the description for the equipment.
I need to do links more often. In the mean time you can pretty much search on amazon for all the supplies. Hobby Lobby carries stained glass supplies also. Of course they are closed now but....
Wonderful video, thank you so much!!
Very helpful for a beginner like me.
Thank you. Always wanted to learn this. You instruct beautifully.
Thank you! Very useful. I liked it, I saved, I shared it.
Great video, I'm heading for Hobby Lobby.
Great video, thank you.

Good Luck!
Loved your vid!!! I just bought second hand grinder and assorted tools. Found some 63/37 solder in the basement. Will that be ok to use with foiled glass?
The solder sounds fine. I assume its solid core and you will need to apply flux.
@@AlleyPicked Thank you for the swift reply! Yes, it's solid core! One less item to get at Hobby Lobby!
I am actually about to start this, just need a few more supplies. I didn't catch what type of paper you use as a stencil? Is it obviously see through as well?
Freezer paper
Hi, does the glass come pre-stained? Would that mean buying multiple colors just like fabric?
Yes, just like fabric. Comes in endless colors and patterns.
Great video and interesting tips for beginners like me,thanks👍🤗
Really helpful video, thanks!!
Thank you for usefull information!
Where can I find a copper foiling machine like the one in the video?
That type is called a "Diegel Foiler". You can google it. I found one on www.swartglass.com/Diegel-Foiler_p_10121.html
I mounted mine on a piece of wood so I could clamp it to a table if necessary. Good Luck!
Can you use bullseye sheet 3mm opal striker for stained glass? Good video thank you
I am not familiar with that product. I don't see why not.
Ann, I'm guessing you probably meant a sheet of 3mm opal streaky from the Bullseye factory? If so, the answer is a definite Yes! That's its main purpose. :)
Where did you get your foiling machine. I can’t find anything like that online
I bought it over 10 years ago from an online store called globalsgs but I dont think they are still in business. I'll look around to see if I can locate one.
@@AlleyPicked thanks so much! Yours is set up so nicely and love the built in burnisher. I’m surprised I can’t seem to find one at least similar.

Fantastic video! Thank you so much! Definitely 👍🏼& subbed! 😊
I appreciate it -- Thanks for watching!
Wow really informative - I saw a lot here for the first time.
How do I get people to "give" me tools and supplies?
I'll think about that :-)
When you're really into a hobby people who don't know what to give you will sometimes try to pick tools or supplies as a gift.

I couldn't find the pattern for the kaleidoscope airplane on amazon. Can you be more specific to locate this.
