Lidded stained glass box (part 1)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Follow this newbie put together 12 stained glass boxes. In this video I build the beveled glass sides and attach a mirror for the bottom. In part two I assemble the tops and attach them to the boxes.
I welcome all tips and thoughts as I learn this craft.

Nice video. I learned the hard way that you must seal the edges of the mirror, before you foil or lead it in. If you do not seal the mirror edge, you will get the dreaded "black rot", or in my case "green rot" that spreads into the mirror. I used nail polish to seal the edges, which is pretty quick since it dries so fast. You can also use polyurethane, but it will take longer to dry. Either water from washing, or flux seeping into the mirror coating is what causes the black or green rot on the mirror. The nail polish keeps it from seeping in.
by the way, at my local grocery store, nail polish is not called nail polish. A nice lady explained to me I wanted clear "top coat", which is what I used :)
Thank you for the tip! I am still new at this and always love learning to improve.
The Jigs you made are just what I've been wondering how to make for a lamp project. Thanks!
Steve L - Glad I could help :) The first couple I tried without a jig and was getting very frustrated. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Any chance you can show a video on making the jigs?
Wow very pretty👍🏻🌸💕🌺♥️🌹
Cool process. Love the jigs.
Fishman - Thanks for watching. As a long time woodworker, I rely on jigs and fixtures all the time.
this video was so relaxing to watch
Mikaela Matheson - thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Don't forget to watch part 2.
Super nice
Thank you for the kind words ! I appreciate you watching.
thank you, im just getting started in this and this is really helpful
TheOriginalKidCoyote - I’m very happy it helped you out. I learned so much on RUclips when I first started doing Stained Glass. I love being able to give back.
Muy buen trabajo, y la idea de los taquitos de madera estupenda
You make it look easy but I know better
☺️
Thank you for watching. Watching in fast motion makes it look easier. I made 11 so I got better as I went along.
This is more like it, thanks. Some of the other people's videos are useless.
squange20 -Thank you for watching, glad you liked it.
Not sure if you Iron is adjustable but the temp of your iron can make a big difference in your splattering and for your issues with flow.
Jason, thank your help. Yes, my iron is adjustable. I was still so new to the game. I have learned a lot since then.
Nice
R k varma glass Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, love the speed! Have you considered moving your hot iron to the right on your work space? I am a newbie, and very careful to not burn myself!!
Thank you so much for watching! I really laughed out loud when I read your comment. It does make so much sense to move it. It started there because the outlet to my right was in use with my light and grinder, so I just plugged it in to my left and it just stayed there for over 2-1/2 years. I am actually getting ready to redesign that room to a dedicated craft room. I will make sure I look to moving to then. Although, It will take same getting used to :) ! Just curious if you watched part 2 also? The number of video views for part 1 is over twice as many for part 2.
I will watch the 2nd video today! Keep posting, all suggestions and techniques are helpful. Glad to hear you are going to move things around! Sorry, I am a grandma of 5, safety first! ;)
Cool
Great video (y)
But I was wondering: Can you use the same kind of copper (or brass) tape and NOT coat it with solding?
Or would you some stronger edging material to keep the boxes together?
Niels Bugge - The reason the copper foil is there is so you can solder it together. The solder is the glue that holds it together. Solder does not stick to the glass. Out of curiosity, why do you not want to cover it with solder?
@@tomsdreamshopworx thanks for the answer. I just found your video while looking for how to make those boxes with brass edges.
But watching a few more videos I realised that this technique is a replacement of the old toxic lead framing, so different goal.
But it looks interesting, are you using non-lead solding, and how does the silver shine last?
very good video, what is the name of the tape that you use?
Gabrielle .Moon - It is copper foil. Do a search on stained glass supplies. It comes in different widths and color backs. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi, great demonstration. What's the tape you're using to seal the glass edges?
Muthoni Thathi - it is called copper foil.
Nice! I don't see a link for part 2 tho.
Laura Roehl - Here is the link ruclips.net/video/XMLwruVKcDk/видео.html . Glad you liked it!
I have some fisrt surface mirror

hi can i use acrylic instead of glass?
I would not think so. The acrylic would most likely melt with the heat of the soldering iron. There is a glue made specially for acrylic.
what dimensions are your box, please?
It is 4” square and 1-1/2” deep. Hope that helps.
Name of liquid ???
The only liquid I used was flux. It is used to prepare the copper to help the solder stick to it. It comes in both liquid and paste forms. I use paste now.
@@tomsdreamshopworx thanks you very much
muy largo el video para mostrar tan poco...
