50 some years ago (is that even possible?) when I was learning stained glass, I would have saved lots of $$$ if the teacher used your teaching techniques. They are so much simpler and make more sense. All the broken glass trying to cut curves - all that wasted money! Thank you Makenzie for a thoroughly enjoyable video. Kind Karen
Thank you so much Karen! Also, love how you feel you have to give a precursor to your name. 😭 Don't worry, my mom's name is Karen too. Shes not a fan of what the internet did to her name. Lmao. BUT I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and felt like it was easier to digest. Thank you for watching kind Karen! ✨🙏🏻🖤
Time is wild isn't it?
@@MakenzieHallie Your mom is welcome to add KIND to her signature too - it will make her feel good about her name again! kind karen🧙♀
I will absolutely tell her, she'll love this. 😂🖤
I wanted to say that yours was the first cutting-stained-glass video I viewed, and quite honestly Makenzie, you did a fantastic job of explaining everything down to the finest details, which was exactly what I needed as a noobie artist. Even your photography was par excellent as you made sure to give close-ups whenever the details required as such. So thank you very much for taking the time to produce such a professional video as this. Now I feel I have the requisite confidence I need to venture forth into this exciting endeavor. I subscribed halfway through the video - and so should anyone else out there. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Brian! So glad you enjoyed the video, and found it helpful. Welcome to stained glass my friend!
Wow!, I agree with everything Brian said. I was feeling pretty sorry I bought all that stuff -now I can’t wait to get started. Yaaaa thank you Makenzie. 🎉 ET
Blessings Mackenzie I have been creating with stained glass for quite a few years and you not only beautifully explained how to do it you also put your soul into it ❤I have always put all my soul into it and therefore could only gift it. God bless you sweet creator and artist ❤️
God bless Linda! Thank you. 🙏🏻🖤
I am a newbie in stained glass and I just discovered your videos! You are so informative and so in depth with how you explain things that it makes it so much easier to do it on our own after watching your videos. The stained glass teacher that I took classes from does not even go into detail like you to teach us the right way. I am so glad that I found your videos and helpful tips. You are one of a kind and truly know your art! Thank you so much for teaching on youtube and continue guiding us with your knowledge!
Thank you so much Debbie! I'm so glad my videos are helpful and your feeling more equipped to go and do these things on your own. Fantastic! Thank you for watching!
I'm new at strained glass. Have not made anything yet, I am orientating myself, and following your videos. So to speak I am dry learning. But in any case you give me a lot of ideas and knowledge. And if I ever will start, then I know at least that I have already learned a lot from you, not only about cutting glass but also your views and ideas about this and that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Absolutely! Welcome to the glass world! Im so glad you feel like your learning something here and if you ever have any questions, I'm here! Thank you so much for watching!
I’ve noticed you use a pulling down action when demonstrating the nippers/grozing pliers. I used to use them like that, nipping very small pieces from a piece of glass. That resulted in exploding glass everywhere and jagged edges. But I recently asked about it at my local glass shop and the person helping me showed me that it’s a straight pull-apart motion. I tried it there and it worked beautifully! I’m not sure if pulling the piece off with the nippers is the action you use, or the pull-down/nip action, but I found it super useful knowledge. I was just using the nippers wrong! Also, the flat side should be on top of the glass. I tried it with the flat side on the bottom and it made the glass explode. But flat on top it worked to pull a small piece away with no explosions!
Hello Dawn! Yes! You can use them pulling out or down, also use them to grind away at the glass (intentionally exploding) bits off, like you would cutting glass with scissors! I just don't use them at all! Never been a fan, I am a 1 cut kind of gal! Thank you for watching!! 🖤
This method of cutting inner curves is brilliant! Thank you so much for your transparency and sharing all these awesome tips!! 🖤
Thank you!!!! I find it just so much easier and frankly safer. no flying glass shards and I never break my glass! Thank YOU so much for watching!!!
@@MakenzieHallie aaaaaaa!
@@MakenzieHalliePragtig
Thank you for taking the time to make it as easy and simple as possible
I went out and bought glass, cutters, iron and soldier two days ago thinking I don't need to take a class or anything (I'm the stereotypical "I don't need to ask for help" guy) and I just wasted three hours of trying to soldier my glass without foil but long story short I just wanted to say thank you for the help😉
Oh no!! 😂😂 well I'm glad my video helped!!! Taking classes in something as tricky as stained glass, can only help!! Im often the same way, but I did need help alot in this art! I regret not taking classes a little. BUT Nothing wrong with that!
Your awesome and you definitely earned a new subscriber
This is the first time I found your video… you are a FANTASTIC teacher! Well done! I learned so much
Thank you so much!! 🖤🖤🙏🏻🙏🏻 Im so glad!!
I watched thousands of cutting videos before and no one told that method before😂 it is such an amazing work and seems much more easier then using pliers . Thanks so much🎉
I think it is! I have just never been able to do it the traditional way, and find its 10x quicker if you can do it effectively. Watch out for the judgy judies though. 😂 Some old schoolers will come for ya cuttin like me. 😂😂😂🖤🖤🖤
You're such a great teacher. I've learned so much from your videos, and I only started watching you recently. Thank you!
I just found your channel last week and have been binge-watching all your videos. I started stained glass about a year ago, your videos are the best ones I have seen. I really appreciate them. Thank You! I look forward to more.
Thats awesome, im so glad your enjoying them! Editing online glass shopping as we speak!
Liebe Makenzie,
ich verstehe zwar kaum ein Wort, von dem was Du sagst, aber ich sehe, mit welcher Begeisterung Du Deine Erkenntnisse anderen weitergibst. Es erfreut mich ungemein, wie schön Du zeigst, dass Glasschneiden kein Hexenwerk ist. Ich habe in meinem Leben schon deutlich mehr als zwei Gläser geschnitten und ich möchte Dir sagen, dass Du unglaublich gut zeigst, worauf man achten sollte, wenn man Glas schneidet.
Ich habe für mich das Netz entdeckt und finde jetzt von so jungen Menschen wie Dir, so tolle Erklärungen, die ich in meiner Jugend alle selbst herausfinden musste.
Ich danke Dir für Deine nette Art, wie Du dieses, Dein Wissen anderen weitergibst.
Herzliche Grüße aus Thüringen
Hardy
I love that you're all about just replacing the tips or rubber toppers. I get used to my tools and then I HATE replacing them. The next set of tools never feel the same in my hand even if they're the exact same tools lol
I've been doing stained glass for over 10 years, using the same Toyo Pistol grip cutter, and never had it leak. I only fill it with a small amount of oil, since a little goes a long way. Also, your using the nippers the wrong way, flat side should be on the top to gently pull the glass apart. The curved edge on top should only be used to remove small pieces of glass left after the cut. Love the detail you give in the videos, very informative and worth watching.
I just finished your “Soldering School” video. About 5 minutes in I was sold and subscribed :P I highly recommend the solder school video to everyone, very informative. I’ve been doing glass for a while and considered myself pretty capable, but clearly there’s always things to learn.
Thank you so much, im so glad your enjoying it!! We can all absolutely always learn something new!
The house temperature comment and how it effects cutting glass is something I never thought of but it makes so much sense.
Great Video Makenzie! Getting down with the basics - awesome. I did glass for years then got away from it, but retirement is telling me to go back to my passion! I look forward to reviewing your other videos!.
Thank you for watching!
I've watched about 5 different people now on beginning stained glass art. I'm still looking at what all I need to buy but I like your videos the best. Your videos are way easier to watch. Clear, to the point, no BS, and good. Thanks!
You are AWESOME!!!! No more nippers for me and I took a class and paid money… not one mention of Running Pliers and have been doing stained glass for several years….. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So glad it was helpful!! Thank you for watching!!
Learned more in short video then in years , really appreciate the valuable tips. I am tossing my breakers and going for the running pliers. I never even knew there was running pliers. So much easier to use. Thank you very much
Somehow I got the idea you don't like nippers! I'm very new at this and i've already been pretty frustrated tryin to use them. I really like your method of cutting curves. Seems more effective than the way I've been trying to do it. Thanks for all the depth you go in to - very helpful!
You are correct! Lol! Absolutely try it all! Find the way that works best for you. Thank you for watching!
This video made me brave enough to go to a local stained glass class. I'm already hooked. Instructor was impressed with my glass cutting, but my secret was I had watched this video multiple times. :) Then I managed to cut my thumb, on the outside of my thumb, enough to drip blood all over my shirt. But I didn't even know when I did it.
Oh my gosh, lol, welcome to the club!! Your officially in now that you've spilt blood. 😂😂😂
Also, I'm so glad you got the courage to go out there and take a class! Life is short my friend, do it all. 🖤🖤
I've been working with stained glass for a long time and do the "old" way of cutting curves. I'm going to try your way now! You make it look so easy! Also, cutting heavily textured glass can be a nightmare. I've stayed away from it but I'm going to give it another try. Another great video. Keep em coming!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad I was able to show you a different way! let me know how it goes!!! And I absolutely will!! I'm having alot of fun making these!!
I appreciate that you try to reduce waste while making your beautiful art pieces!♡
I try where I can!!
Hi Mackenzie,
Sorry if Im repeating another comment..
Thank You for finally showing me how to Actually cut a curve 🤕😂. Thank you for your honesty in what works for you & not saying what 'you/me' should do.
I accidentally went to 3-4 beginners Stainglass courses...
After being 'removed 😮😅' I began creating myself. Im interested in your 'design' RUclips you mentioned.
Thanks again for your help, knowledge and You ... 🙏👍🦋
Hi Kylie!! Thank you so much for watching, im so glad your enjoying my videos. So sorry if ive missed your other comments! I try my BEST to stay on top of them all but some just get lost in the youtube universe. Lol. So glad your cutting curves like a pro and in a way that works for YOU! 🖤🖤🖤
Wow, this was so incredibly helpful! I am brand new to this, and you answered so many questions for me. Thanks for taking the tie for this. Definitely checking out your other videos.
So glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to stained glass!
Again…. You make the best videos. Wayyyyy more informative than others! You have an authentic shining personality as well !
Thank you so much!!
Did not know there was a spring inside the cutter, and I could adjust the "bounce". Thanks!
Indeed! Thank you for watching!
Wholly crap... your video is soooooo good. The fine details are fantastic. I recently purchased running pliers from amazon to help with my current project. I was squeezing as hard as I could and I couldn't get it to crack the glass. Figured I got a bad pair. After you explained the top of the pliers should be concaved a bit I ran out to my garage and after taking the plastic bumpers off I noticed they have zero curve. Guess I ordered the wrong item. I just ordered the newest runners from Brier so hoping I get to experience that tiny "click" when the glass separates. Funny that you hate the grosser pliers because that is my main tool. Hopefully the new runners change the way I break glass. Keep up the GREAT videos. Just saw one with a glass church. You got my creative mind thinking and also thank you for also mentioning and suggesting for others to make their own designs. I agree that that is what makes it so personal.
Thank you so so much! What a wonderful compliment and kind comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and find them helpful! I'm here if you have any more questions, thank you so much!!!
What a fantastic teaching style you have, informative, interesting, a little humour too.. what’s not to love. Thank you I’m learning so much already from you can’t wait to get started. 🤗
Thank you so much 🙏 im so glad its helpful and interesting!!! Thank you for watching!!
So clear and informative! Feels like I should be paying for these lessons
I'm so glad!!! And thank you! - that's RUclips's job! lol! hopefully
I agree. Makenzie you make it look so easy.
Thank you 🙏 Just practice is all! 🖤
i feel same,good fun to watch it as well as very informative,most appreciated!
🖤🖤🙏🙏
Great video for beginners! ❤
Thank you!! I have been interested in this for years, but could never really find the proper information. Maybe now that I have a reliable and thoughtfully made resource, I can try it. Very well done.
That was good. I well try I sure I well do better ifeel that I have learned more about stainglass thank you my name joicy
Your videos are SO helpful for people like me just venturing into this medium, thank you!!
🖤
I'd been doing the scallop and nip technique for ever. This may get me back making things again. No shards and fritt all over everywhere. Thank you soo much.
My shopping list starts with running pliers.
Many thanks for making my first project with glass a success. It wasn't any fancy cut glass work, just cutting an oval clock glass; but it went very well only because of this video.
So glad it went well!!! Thank you for watching!!!
Mackenzie, why haven’t I seen your videos before. I was obsessed with learning the correct way of using stained glass tools and how to cut glass etc, and armed myself with tools from the US (I paid more in shipping than the tools themselves), but I just didn’t find really good, informative videos, and just used my nippers instead to make mosaic pieces. This was over two years ago, but because we moved house during the lockdowns, all my stained glass stuff was packed away. Well, I shall now watch your videos and get back on track. You are an inspiration to all beginners.
Great video, awesome tips. I have been working with glass for 5 years now and I love learning new techniques. I always struggle with making curves and I will be giving this a try today. Working on a large window so hoping this will help with my curves and cut down on the amount of waste. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! Absolutely give it a try. I think the most important thing when using just runners is listening to the glass! Your already doing gladd longer then me, you can do it!!! Good luck!!
I LOVE this!!!! I’m a moon lover myself but glass moons are the devil! 😂 I have ruined so much glass trying to cut moons and even when I get it, it’s hit and miss. I’m right next to our a/c when I’m cutting so that must be a factor too. Thank you so much! You are a wonderful teacher! 💜
oh my gosh absolutely!!! Work away from that AC!!! It can cause every break to just snap jagged edges off course and shit! Use them running pliers, listen, and you'll never break a moon again! Thank you and thank you for watching!!! So glad its helpful!!
I love your channel! You are so informative I found you because I was lookin to cut a replacement window on my travel trailer that had curved corners and I sat here watching 4 or 5 of your videos I learned a lot and subscribed to your channel ( you are the only I subscribe to ) I don't do staned glass but thinking about it now.lol
Thank you so much
Thank you so much Dorothy! I'm so glad my videos were helpful, im here if you have any questions. ♡
Hi Makenzie! Thank you for all the wonderful DETAILED info!! Most are vague. So it is refreshing to hear more precise descriptions. I did stained glass years ago (pre-little feet) and am venturing in again. You have taught me new info. and with new products, that is HUGE!!! Again, thank you...🌈🦄🌠
Thats awesome!!! Im so glad to hear that and that my videos are showing new stuff too! Welcome back and thank you for watching!!!
I absolutely love how thoroughly you explain the mechanics of everything! I am now addicted to your RUclips channel 🤣😍
Thank you!!! So glad your enjoying my channel!!
You really are a amazing teacher. I’ve learned so much from you. I’ve taught many people to stain glass but before I began I ask them to watch your videos. Your kind and explain things in common language without a I know it all attitude. Thank you
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🖤🖤
Makenzie, You are a wonderful teacher. I've just started watching your videos and they are so informative. I am brand new at stained glass, in fact, I haven't made a piece yet but I am getting braver everyday.
I haven't seen a video yet that explains all the different types of surfaces to use for different types of work, example; I've seen plywood, ceiling panels, drywall, corkboard, homasote. Can you explain what you use and for what? Cutting, soldering, etc. I would appreciate your help. New subscriber from Washington State. 😊
Just starting glass. Already bought my grinder and cutter. Researching everything before I purchase. This video is so helpful!!!! You are beautiful by the way and I love your confident energy.
So sweet 🙌 thank you so much!! Welcome to the community!! I'm so glad they are helping!! Any questions I'm here!!!
Found your video today and am amazed at your glass cutting tips. I have been doing this for years, including teaching classes, and cutting curves was always difficult. I can’t wait to try tour methods. Thanks so much. I am going to get the oil out of my pistol cutter also!
Fantastic! I'm glad your up for trying it! I'm going to do a video soon, trying to cut the "normal" way. I'm awful at it 🤣
Thanks for your video on cutting glass. Very excited to learn this way off cutting glass
I found that the piece where the head attaches to the body of the cutter, it usually unscrews and comes off. I wrap the threads with a little bit of plumbers tape and then screw the head back into the grip. Then I can fill the reservoir with oil and it doesn’t leak. Just have to make sure you loosen the end for air while cutting and it works so perfectly. Since making sure the head end has a good deal, I have never had it leak all over.
It was very helpful. I’ve been using mine without the rubber tips. Thought I was supposed to take them off!
Oh my gosh!!! 😆🤣 WELL I suppose the silver lining is, glass cutting and breaking will be THAT much easier now!!!
Thank you….I had a friend teaching me but she had me braking the glass with my hands after I scored the glass! I will be watching your other videos! Great teaching ☺️
I love the way you show things and explain them too
Thank you! So glad your enjoying my channel!
I love your channel and videos! They are so helpful and you have such a great vibe. I am very new to stained glass and I love how open you are to give advice and wanting to help!! It seriously means a lot. In a previous video you had made a comment about people in the community being stingy with tips/information and I can definitely see what you mean but you are the opposite and I appreciate it SO much!!!
Hey Bethanie! Thank you so much!!! & welcome to the glass community!!! I'm so glad your finding my channel helpful, it was something I desperately searched for when I started! Don't let stingy minded people discourage you, it's all just fear! Thank you so much for watching, and for your support!!!! Happy glass making!!!
@@MakenzieHallie Thank you! When I am home in CT I'm definitely going take a trip to check out the glass shop you went to in MA!! I'm so excited!
Oh awesome!!! Hell yea, your so close! Its absolutely worth the trip, the owners are also just so fantastic!!! Let me know if you go!!!!
Great techniques Makenzie on cutting curves.
Thanks Karen! ♡
You are so fun to watch and listen to. Thank you for ALL the wonderful detailed info!!!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome chanel, I am a 53-year-old male who's only hobby has been growing weed for the last 40-odd yrs an looking for a new one. I think everything you say "makes sense" so congrats you seem to be great at teaching people and I will try to use your extensive playlist to teach myself the wonderful art that you do
Going through your favorite tools (another wonderful teaching aid) I seen a ring saw , not knowing anything about this art , what would that be use that for?Nevermind I just found your ring saw vid,cheers
great techniques and super information!
Thank you so much!
Excellent video! Thank you so much!
Wow, that's all I can say. Those curve cuts!! I don't know how you do it, because I miss even the traditional way. I have the same dust pan but in pink but I hate the nippers as well. I'm a beginner but just finished my second porojet (300 piece Taj Mahal with the reflection of the palace in the water), but I should have watched your videos first.
Practice is all! It took time to learn cutting and breaking that way, but I never accepted the nippers so I think that helped lol! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video. I cut glass today with a lot more confidence!
Good!! Im so glad you feel more confident, thank you for watching!!
lmao.. watching you discuss the flippin nippers and you said i hate these things, looking right at the camera.. and dem pupils turn red on the word hate.. hilarious!!! Never use mine either, into the trash!
You are awesome chikka, best of everything to you.
😂😂 so glad your enjoying my channel!!! Same to you an thank you for watching!!
@@MakenzieHallie I'm an olde self-taught stained glass girl too & have picked the art back up after 10 yrs of "workin for the man" hiatus. You are my refresher instructor that I'll leave on loop as I'm running about and you've given me an enthusiastic and heartfelt lift. Thank you for that.. it's excruciatingly painful to watch some of the videos posted by the derrr's of life 🤣 keep going, you're only going to excel 🖤☠☮
Lmao I KNOW RIGHT!!! It's like flash backs to science lectures watching some of these dudes work glass 😂😂 BUT we respect and look up to them none the less!! 😉. I'm so glad my channel is that change of pace, the whole reason I did it! I could hear another monotone sentence about solder 🤣🤣 🖤🖤 thank you and will do!! Will have glass shopping up tonight!
Omg thank you so much for the tip about opening the running pliers. When I took the class they never mentioned it!! Completely changed the way my glass breaks!!!
Omg! Thats like first step in using running pliers! I'd be asking for my money back on that class! 😂😂😉😉 thank you for watching!!
This is great, I’ve always always wanted to do stained glass but I can never cut ❤️ Oh, and you’re so right about the pistol cutter. I’m a glass bead maker and after almost 20 years of doing so, my hands are showing arthritis. I hold from 6mm to about 20 gauge wire for hours a day, spinning the glass mandrels, it’s getting painful.
Haha yes see? I never used oil and I used those idiot nippers. I can’t wait to try! Ordering from your links.
Oh gosh yea, I'm so afraid of what my hands will be by the time I'm 50 or something. My wrist already causes me issues. I'm sorry your dealing with pain! And absolutely try it!! lol and yes, screw the nippers!!! Thank you for watching!! I'll have to see if I can set up affiliate links with Amazon soon since I'm always linking there stuff!! lol!!
OH MY GOD! i used your method and Its SO MUCH easier than using the pinch pliers
😁 fantastic! I couldn't agree more!! So glad it worked out for you too!!
You are so clear and detailed , love your videos, still find hard to get a clean cut , guess need more practice . Looking forward to more awesome videos ⭐️
Thank you, finally someone who thinks like me, about all those uselessness scoring. I threw my nippers out too and just use the other one but I need to change the silicone or rubber edges.
Amazing makenzie. Thank you so much. Love and light from uk my 🥰
🙏🙏🖤🖤🌈🌈 Thank you for watching!!
Thank you for the great tips. I'm new at strained glass and you make it look so easy
Thank YOU for watching!! I'm so glad its helpful! And practice is all! You'll get down it in no time!
What do you do with all the “trash” pieces! I have a large box full and haven’t figured out a use. Great video on curves. TY!
Thank you! I save it all. Organized by color then use it for mosaics.
Wow, love your in-depth videos, thanks so much for sharing with us. 🥰🕉🙏
I'm so glad your enjoying my channel. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic job!!!
I appreciate the the time and effort you put in to these videos!!
Great job! I am a carpenter by trade and tying something different and you have helped me greatly!!
Thanks
Thank you so much for watching! So glad they are helping!
Just ordered the tips that you recommended. They look like the correct ones. With free returns in case they don’t fit!
PERFECT!! If you still have any questions, im here!!
I use a heating pad on med heat place a towel on top of heating pad and place glass cover with other end of towel. Only on real cold days or nights saving on heating bill
Are you referring to using cold glass? You use a heating pad to heat up a glass sheet?
Loved you method of cutting curves. I am new to stain glass cutting. Your video is very informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing you experience. I will be looking at some of your other videos.
Thank you! you are amazing!
I appreciate you SO MUCH! You are an incredible teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!
Hey thank you so much. I’ve watched other videos and you’ve been extremely helpful!
Really, really, really helpful. I have never used the running pliers for curves. Guess that’s gonna change. Thanks!!
Give it a go! Thanks for watching!
I just did my first piece ever completely with running pliers! Thanks to you and the “listening” advice. Never thought that would be possible. Am not quite ready to junk my groziers yet, but I never took them out of my tool box for this piece - a box with streaming sashes. Fun experience, thanks to you.
Awesome!! Im so glad it worked good for you and you had fun doing it!!
Makenzie, Thank you for that great concave cutting tip and I love heavily textured glass and I am a procrastinator... looking just don’t cut it. Today I am gathering up courage from courageous artistic women. PAM
Your amazing! Thank you this helped me so much
🖤🖤🙏🙏 so glad!!
Makenzie can you do a video on doing repairs and soldering chain as a decorative edge to a stained glass piece?
Thank you! I was trained with nippers - never got the results I wanted, hate using them. Can’t wait to try your way!
thanks i love the way you cut the curves. I always though the many cut way was wasteful. I dont really like nippers either lol. this was very informative cant wait to see more.
So glad you enjoyed it! Tons more on my channel! Thank you for watching!
Thank you Makenzie. I used some of your tips this weekend and that's how I'll be doing things from now on!
So glad your enjoying it!
Would be awesome if you sold a video that had everyone of yours on. It would be awesome to listen to while I am working in my studio!
Like a video with all of my videos in it? That just may break my laptop! 😂 I'm trying to work something out for either a podcast, or patron type system. Just not sure yet! I'm glad your enjoying my content!!
I like to use mylar for patterns so they can actually be reused and don't disintegrate when wet.
Hah, Never considered temperature as a factor in poor glass cutting. THnx again!
Right? Me either until one day it was smash after smash after smash. After I got through a 12 by 18 it dawned on me lol!!! Never again!
She’s amazing! Step by step forwhatever u need to know
I appreciate you! Thank you!
“And we have our nippers…. In the trash” 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Another great video. I believe you thought of everything! Thank you.
Your so welcome!!
thanks for the tip on cutting oil. I just thought messy oil was normal.
Well, unfortunately when it comes to most cutters it is. But it shouldn't be! 😂 I'll stick with my studio cutter and pencil grip with dip pot. 😅🖤 happy to help!!
Hi, I just subscribed and gave you a thumbs up... You have good tips to consider that will definitely help... I use to do stain glass back in the day 20 + years ago but because of my job (lots to do with a ton of pressure) it had to take a back seat... I now have time and I'm getting back into it and RUclips is helping a lot with getting re-familiar with the art... I still have my grinders, tools and a crate full of glass and just itching to get back into it... I'll definitely be checking out your other videos... Glad you're taking the time to share... back in the day of no RUclips, I would of had to sign up for a class at our local community college or seek out a stain glass studio where I had to pay to learn... Here, folks get it free and right from their home... I can definitely tell you are INTO STAIN GLASS!!! Nice to see … would you recommend what other videos you've made I should view and is there an order? Also, do you sell your art, if so how? Thanks Makenzie...!
Hi Ray! So glad your enjoying my channel and welcome back to stained glass!! I think it's safe to say stained glass is my passion, and I'm lucky enough I was able to make it my career. I've been selling it for over 4 years full time & you can find all of my links to my social media and shop in the description box of every RUclips video. If your looking for more glass content from me, here is my glass Playlist. Thank you so much for watching! ruclips.net/p/PLKprsg03lIOolD0LSkhLhP5j8HNLMkvgH

You are so helpful. I love the why you explain this to us newbies in ways we can understand. I would like to make a video suggestion. What temperature show our solder iron be at. Does it need to be changed at all or is it the same all the time. Keep up with the video you are a true blessing. Thank you
Hey Lorena! Thank you so much! I'm so glad its helpful!! And that totally depends!! What kind of solder are you using? I assume a lead based? 50/50? 60/40? The melting point will always be in relation to solder mixture. My next glass video will be all about soldering!!! 🖤🖤🖤 Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you thank you for this video lesson. I can see where I have been making mistakes and will correct

Going to try doing glass without using nippers today. Used them forever!
Give it a shot! Im happy your open to try it, alot of folks almost take it offensively that I don't use them! 😂🤷♀️
@@MakenzieHallie hard to get use to. I'll keep trying!
Definitely, biggest thing to remember is to REALLY listen to that glass. Very gentle openings,and listen.
Always good to get back to basics, thanks for this!
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!!
