Thank you, Sophie - that shed a lot of light on my new foray into stained glass making!
Great! Good luck!
Thanks we are going to a 3 hour class and now I’m going simple because you helped me realize it is quite a bit of work. Thanks
Enjoy!!
Thank you, this is the best tutorial channel for making stained glass windows etc on U tube, I have watched hours of footage , but you manage to answer all the questions a beginner would have and don't just "show off" your skills. After watching your tutorials I now have the confidence to make a long requested window for my wife. Thanks again.
That's great to hear! Good luck with your project!
Love the enthusiasm and tip about hot water bottle in a rucksack. Brilliant idea.
Thankyou very much. This video was very helpfull.
All the best to you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the beginner project. Looks like the smaller ones can be a little challenging Looking forward to the next one.
I'm so much of a beginner I've not EVEN STARTED! Hope to soon... Thank you!
Oo, exciting... enjoy!
Very clear instructions. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Gracias! Me gusto mucho el vídeo, la primera vez derretí todo el perfil de plomo jaja
Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you for so many great videos, any tips on polish not taking to solder joints please?
A dab of patina on the joint before you start your final polish should do the job.
@@SophiesStainedGlass thank you so much
Love your projects
Thank you!
Hi thanks for great video , I have the same soldering iron as you , I clean the joints with wire wool and then use tallow or flux , I clean my tip on a wet sponge, however I only have to leave the tip of the soldering iron on the joint for a second and it melts the came, all my beautiful joints get melted or are a total mess, hours of work is ruined, any idea why ? Could the thermostat be broken ? Thanks in advanced.
The thermostatic element is the tip - you need a number 7 tip with the Weller which maintains a temperature of 370c. They are not expensive so it might be worth changing it.
@@SophiesStainedGlass Thanks for the advice definitely worth a try :)
Hi,what temperature was your soldering iron set at for the lead came please?
My iron has a thermostatic tip that keeps the temperature at 370c. Lead's melting point is 328c so it's important not to keep the tip in place for too long.
Hi thanks for another great video. You make me laugh. How did you make the designs. I want to do my own geometrical panel and want a simple programme on laptop to do it. Thanks
I use Affinity. It's a great (cheap) alternative to the Adobe suite. You should find some videos and a mention in the book.
Thanks 😁I've had a look at affinity. Which one do you use? Designer, publisher? Etc Thanks again
Hi Sophie, Why don't you use "u" came on the outside? Thanks 😊
Because I work on architectural projects not ornaments I don't generally have any U came to hand!
@@SophiesStainedGlass I just found your channel....I did a few small projects about 6 years ago and am just getting back into it. I was wondering about the outside of your ornament with the double channel. I was thinking everything had a lead channel (including the outside) to stabilize it and keep it in place. I'm assuming architectural includes things like windows in churches, etc...but wood expands and contracts soo much wouldn't you need a lead channel on the outside to stabilize the project? Am I overthinking this?...a habit of mine.
@@cld0001 The lead holds the glass together - on the outside it's usual to use 12mm lead as it is nice and big and therefore forgiving when fitting. Both the window and the frame move with temperature changes - which is why the cement (putty) we use never goes completely hard.
What came do you use? Is there a standard width that most use?
3/16”???
For domestic windows I use 6mm round. For larger windows I use nothing smaller than 8mm.
What kind of wire did you use?
It's tinned copper wire. If you go to 6.20 minutes in this video ruclips.net/p/PLpYgXO0ZX95PPLU9fK4_OY2qs05IJkVr3 I show it and briefly talk about it.
What is the flux you use
Tallow (beef fat candle) it's traditional but hard to get in the US
What is that candle style flux...why not liquid?
Tallow is traditionally used in the UK with lead. I've tried both types and prefer tallow - although they're very similar.
Nice to know that your joints dont have to be completely perfect. Those joint always drive me nuts.
Perfect is a nice idea....but.....
Minunat
:-)
Do you live on the northpole ??
Oh no! My secret location has been revealed!!
@@SophiesStainedGlass you look so cold :)
