Poor man's stained glass for my front door
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2019
- making reasonably authentic looking stained and leaded glass for my front door. I originally wanted proper leaded stained glass but also wanted sealed units for better insulation, but i dont like the look of leaded glass when it is sealed inside an igu as you get a full pane of glass on the outside which hides all the texture and patterns . the method shown in this video is a compromise between both. it turned out looking very authentic and ive even had a couple of people think i restored the original leaded glass to use in the new door!

What materials are you using?
the candle looking thing is Tallow flux and the solder is grade c 60/40, both from creativeglassguild.co.uk
the lead is 5mm self adhesive came of ebay and the glass paint is lefranc and bourgeois vitrail "orange yellow" colour off ebay.
The tarnishing fluid is copper sulphate, you can get this in crystals off ebay to mix with water. i made my own by dissolving copper pipe in white vinegar over a few months (it has other uses as well).
@robert lombardo In the UK, church stained glass *is* made from individual coloured glass, though, in the case of windows with details of faces, robes, hands, etc. the glass has artwork painted onto the coloured glass. Geometrical window patterns, however, are solely coloured glass pieces, joined with shaped lead strips.
It was great that you used no annoying, loud and inappropriate background music. Silence is indeed golden.
I’ve saved this video. My new home has a 4 foot by 4 foot window next to the tub! Unless I want a public viewing, I’ll copy your idea! Thank you!
@@Offshoreorganbuilder church glass pieces are not just simply painted they're painted with vitreous paint and then fired at a very high temperature.
I don’t see a poor mans stain glass but a great craftsman that did a beautiful job on door window. Beautiful work!
Beautiful Artwork. Love it tbh. 5 is my number. Peace, Jules
😍
RIGHT!!! This is a GREAT Video.
That piece he is working on... if it were to be REAL Stain Glass would have easily cost $1000.
Incredibly mesmerising and humbling to watch an artist at work. Love this!
Poor man's stained glass would be a single sheet of glass painted. This is the real deal.
As an artist who has done stained glass (for a business) for over 20 years, nice job, the patina and soldering steps are two that many people doing such a project would not bother with, but makes all the difference.
How does one enter into your line of work? I've always admired stained glass, so It would be awesome to learn
@@danielrichards5284 IF you have a passion for such work, then get the experience by doing it, small pieces. Your inner spirit will help you as well.
@@danielrichards5284 honestly, theres little business in stained glass anymore, unless you want to do it as a hobby. Wer actually sell a lot more of a decorative stained glass window film that looks like the real thing, just less costly
Do you have instagram or have your work on etsy? Im a glass artist as well. I would love to see your work
@@lewisb73 That's a shame that there's not much business for it, I remember growing up in the 80's and seeing all kinds of wonderful stained glass in people's houses. Not just the windows and doors, but also hanging ornaments that people would put up behind windows to add color to the house.
Watching you in awe as my husband comes in so proud of himself for taking out the trash...
Fabulous job! Very authentic! I did a transom over the front door many years ago without any specialized materials. I used a black silicone caulk from a tube to imitate the leading and filled the coloured areas with transparent nail polishes It was on plain flat glass rather than the modeled surface. Many people have commented over the years on our beautiful antique stained glass. It is up high so it doesn't get touched or scrutinized too closely. lol. Total cost was about $20.
That is a neat idea with the nail varnish. Easier than going out and finding the stained glass paint. I want to do some stuff. It has some fine and delicate brush strokes to some of it. I could use acrylic, some of it is transparent as well, mix it thin, then add clear resin to the whole thing and it seals it onto the glass.
When I was in Jr high, our art teacher told us the best model paint you could buy was nail polish... She was right. The stuff is amazing.
"And then I remembered that I lived at number 3..."
That made me chuckle, lol
Having the video almost entirely silent is so soothing.
I totally agree.
Absolutely!
Indeed!
@@e1woqf
I agree.
The amount of work, materials, time, effort, love and craftmanship that went into this project would EASILY DEMAND a $5,000+ price tag.
Initially I was asking myself...why am I watching this...but I am glad that I watched it thru...nice job
Beautiful! AND excellent video editing.... pacing, close ups, explanatory text at just the right time & time enough to read it. Fantastic ~ a class in both “poor man’s stained glass” 😊 AND how to make a great video (!)
Thanks so much!! You just made the world a cooler place 😄😄😄
The written commentary could stay on screen a bit longer, continually having to jump back 10 seconds to see the rest of the comment is frustrating for some of us with slower reading issues. Personally mine is due to a traumatic brain injury. Thanks for considering a couple more second on the subtitle type commentary in the videos.
Wow, I just watched this entire series and I am truly blown away. You’ve done a spectacular job and the finished product really shows it. I suspect this door alone is worth a substantial increase in your homes value. Wonderful work, 10/10 and two thumbs up!
No music, no talking, no sound. Simply witnessing some amazing workmanship. Brilliant! I love this
RIGHT... I love this Video... Self Explanatory.
Lovely. Can't believe the difference it made to the stickiness when you thoroughly cleaned the glass at the beginning.
Spirit vinegar is extremely useful stuff. Not only can you pickle onions with it and clean glass (among other things), but you can also use it in your washing machine to remove the smell of urine from bedding if your child is incontinent (bet you can guess how I know THAT one!).
The final effect is fantastic, and looks very authentic. (I even like the simpler look of the silver caming on the plain clear glass.)
Been making ART GLASS for over twenty five years, nice to see someone paint ( STAIN) the glass, even without a kiln.
The solder and copper sulphate took it to the next level. Awesome work.
You obviously know what you're doing. And thanks SO MUCH for leaving ambient sounds in your video and not having any cover music. So much more meditative to watch.
RUclips did the classic reccomend to me and while this was very interesting, I thank you for the silent commentary. Can't hear for shit these days.
I. Robles The video demonstration was interesting and artistic; I liked it. My problem was squinting to read the text.
I found the text distracting. I want to focus on the workmanship and frequently had to go back and read what I missed.
Video is for watching and listening to a description.
@@davecc0000 practice makes perfect. did u not read my comment? I can't hear for shit. This video would be inaccessible for deaf people if there had been a monologue with no subtitles.
@@i.robles5785 I agree with you. I can hear just fine myself, but I personally hate listening to people ramble on and on. Videos with subtitles over talking (or horrible music) will always get my vote!
This is brilliant! Here in New Orleans a lot of the older, classic homes have been restored, destroyed and have lost a lot of the character they once had. I’ve always wanted to add a traditional stained glass window or door, but the expense is out of my budget. Now I will follow your lead and try to do this myself. Maybe I’ll practice on a smaller, inconsequential piece of glass 1st lol! Great job! Amazing work! Also, thank you for sharing the supplies/items you used! I’ll save this video and try to use the techniques you’ve shared. Hopefully, my finished job will look as amazing as your’s does! 🤞🏻👍🏻

A small piece you might try first is a small sun catcher.
It's an idea 🤷🏽♂️😇
I'm a native to New Orleans , living in Kentucky , and just bought a house built in 1910 ,and has the BEST Nola vibes:)))) This is why I am here lol
@@ashk504 isn’t it great when you’re far away from home and find little pieces of home wherever you go?! ❤️❤️
@@everettwhite9874 that’s a great idea! Thank you 😊
Goes to show "a little goes a long way" Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
What an amazing result, really lovely and artistic. I have loads of respect for the amount of patience you have to achieve this level of craftsmanship! Your videos are a delight to watch, thanks for sharing them!
much easier to put picture on opposite side of glass and just follow pattern.looks fantastic,well done.
There is double fluted glass and therefore there will be strong distortions.
@@user-rq7et2jq2l yes your right.well done.all your stuff looks fantastic.cheers.
@@markchambers9415, I am amazed that you were able to find my photos of works. Thank you for your good rating.
He does that with the pattern for the door windows in the beginning, but you can also see that it doesn’t work that well.
not on that double paned insulated glass like that, if it was a single pane sure
The door turned out very nicely, thanks for showing us.
Enjoyed the video. You did a fabulous job on the door, transom and glass. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
I've just watched the door build videos, and now this. What amazing craftmanship! I cannot believe you don't do this for a living...
thanks i enjoyed making it!
Great use of the materials! I think I'll do a couple of glass projects when I've recovered from my spine surgery...very nice!
I am so glad to have found you on RUclips. Your attention to and craftsmanship is impeccable!
Absolutely stunning work! I have an old 1930s farmhouse that I’ve wanted to do Stainglass in a few of the windows. This was a huge inspiration. I’m in the states, but I’m hoping I can find the same materials here!
Look on amazon and e-bay. Acrylic paint when watered down is transparent and someone mentioned nail varnish too. I am going to do some and cover it with Stone Coat Counters clear resin to seal it all in and you won't have to solder the ends down. You can buy stuff at Hobby Lobby and Michaels craft stores too.
Testers paints are good as well. I have some and need to check it out.
@@inspire734
I can't handle smells... I use Water Based Polyurethane !!! Mixed with INKS...
and powdered makeup (pigments)... Cheap at the Dollar Store!!!
I also add Glitter (looks like small pieces of shattered glass)... It's Beautiful.
I "Flip" RVs (on my 25th one right now) I used Gallons of the Water Based Poly...
To do the Shower.. the counter tops... the floor (to make it look like Tarrato flooring) from Italy.
Covering the flooring with the Water Based Poly is amazing...
@@inspire734
What I was talking about when I do FAUX Stain Glass.
@@judichristopher4604 you could also use ModPodge hard coat. Even less of a smell than polyurethane even. It dries completely clear, and is hard as a rock
Well obviously not on a huge project lol. That would be a lot of bottles, but for something like this definitely,
There is nothing like a man with talent and good taste! Well done!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💐🏆
Great design and stunning result. Really complements the house. What a lovely skill to have.
That is a really beautiful door, it looks stunning.
Very interesting seeing how you made up the paint as well. Great job indeed.
Excellent - making a door look like all the doors I grow up with - remember those, the one's people were tearing out during the sixties because they looked so old fashioned - I have lived too long.
You haven’t lived too long, you’re just maturing like a fine wine. 🤗
I sat at home at 6:00 in the morning and watched this . So relaxing and interesting something transformed from its original form to so much more. Thanks for the inspiration.
oh yes that looks wonderful and so easy. it took me a few hours to get the soldering done. thank you so much for the inspiration.
Great solution to the high cost of real stained glass! I have to say, it looks pretty good, and that's coming from someone who had a professional stained glass business many years ago. Plus, if it gets broken, that will be a heck of a lot cheaper to replace (other than labor, if you had to pay someone to recreate that).
Well, that’s beautiful. I found this video very relaxing to watch.
Great job !!! You out smarted them for a fraction of the price.
I solder for a living and a hobby you did a very good job...
I absolutely love it !!!! Want to try this for my front door. It probably wont look anything as great as yours. But ill give it a whirl... Thank you....
You have to be one of the best craftsman I’ve ever seen I wish I was fortunate enough to know you
Both the door and the stained glass are really awesome. SO well done! It looks really beautiful!
Wow, just discovered this & thanks for sharing. This has totally inspired me to have a go at this. My family home growing up had a specific design i'm going to try to replicate!
Clever way to do the curve with that little piece! Also didn't have any luck with a different self-stick leading. Think I'll try it again but follow your wash and vinegar approach first. Thanks for a great demo video.
I did my home front windows about 30 years ago in the UK with Decroled think that is the same stuff you where using. Came with a paper pattern for the inside of the window and you followed it on the outside with the sticky back lead striping. It's stayed on all these years no problem. It did turn white for a while from rain but eventually turned black/dark grey. I didn't solder the joints though just overlapped and used the application tool to press it home. Smashing product but not available in Canada. Perhaps online but it's not a common theme here. They prefer mullion bars between the glazing. Brilliant job though M8 very well done. 👍🏻
Serioulsy impressive work, it looks fantastic. I love that you only used the one colour too. I'm about to embark on a renovation project, I'm saving this video for the future, very inspiring. Thanks!
Chuffing 'eck, that's a cracking piece of craftmanship there, mate.
It looks beautiful, I hope I can remember to come back & find this video when I’m ready to make something for my home. ☺️
I really enjoyed watching this and reading your comments. Well done and a great result 👌👏
Very elegant. Love the numbered transom light and random shapes of the vertical panels' lead pieces.
Absolutely mesmerising, love the silence,just watching a true craftsman at work, will defo be giving this a go, thank you for sharing
Jolines...Tu si vales!.. Eres todo un artista. Lo haces todo! Emplomados..Carpintería, Cajas acústicas, Parket..en fin Un profesional!
That was some tedious work but you took it slow and easy and the results are absolutely stunning! Tfs
Cool makes me feel like if I ever got the urge to make stained glass that I could with this video. Thanks for sharing
This is insane! Thank you for giving me inspirations! You’ve done a really good job xoxo
Good grief, I’m impressed! Looks amazing!
by far, the best Faux stained glass project i have seen
Lovely! I did something similar in my door and windows but I drew out an outline with a marker pen, painted the glass paint and then fitted the lead. I'm going to try your method when I do my next project.
Stunning set of four videos - so much craftsmanship and work into making a door. Superb.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this. I want to try this ASAP. Inspiring. Love it!
ahh.. thank you sir.. since i was a kid stained glass had a big magical thing on me.. always loved it.. that is the only thing i didn't know how to do.. now i know!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.!!!! may you prosper forever!
perfect job , this is a good inspiration for me.
Great job ! That looks like a very satisfying job and an excellent use of your time . Thank you ! ☺
OMGosh This is SSSSOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL
Absolutely Amazing...
Thank you so much for sharing this great video.
So impressive, definitely given me some ideas. What a great job!
It's so impressive and glorious: this is NOT a poor man's job! This is the work of an incredibly talented craftsman that's fit for million dollar mansions.
That was absolutely amazing. Gorgeous work. Thank you for sharing.
I really enjoyed your tutorial, so relaxing to watch & very informative. The outcome was perfect. I'm impressed. Also liked not having loads of audio.
Simply AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing. Incredible job and thanks for the list of materials.
With good care, the door will still look good in 500 years. Thanks for showing!
So glad I saw this . Will be trying it for sure ! Beautiful !
Greetings from Ontario, Canada. Absolutely stunning project. Well done. I'm working on the design phase of a screen door for my house and just found this set of videos while looking for some inspiration. Watched all four at one sitting. You've got a "thumbs-up" and a subscription. I'll go and watch some of your other videos and look out for new ones. Work safe.
That looks fantastic! Well done.
absolutely beautiful job man. thanks for sharing
How wonderful. I bet you were so pleased with it. It's amazing .. love it
This was such a satisfying video to watch and so very pleasing with the end product. Beautiful work and a great video mate
I’d love something like this for my door. Lovely work, bro.
A very big Thank You from Vienna-Austria!
And amazing facade and presentation. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video series. Cheers.
I always enjoy your videos. It's great to see a true craftsman at work.
I used to make stained glass & you’re almost doing the same amount of work! Lol. Nice job!
not really if you are dealing with lead came glass panel assembly, basically this skips glass pattern cutting, glass cutting, lead and glass assembly, glazing and cleaning process for that. All this adds is the painting step to give the color. It was the few extra steps he added that gave this panel a finished look such as the soldering and his cleaning/patina process
What a method, never think about that, thanks for the vid!
Wonderful! The night shot of the finished door is especially beautiful.
That is the best and most informative video I’ve seen on you tube I’ve been making Japanese lanterns with painted glass and soldered lead I’ve been using peabo vitral paint might give your suggestion a go 👏👍
That’s no poor man .. that’s a skilled craftsman building his own door for cheaper then paying another skilled craftsman to build it for 10x as much ❤
Beautiful and Inspiring. Thank you for sharing your passion!
I'm a joiner / cabinet maker since I left school, some 32yrs now, and it's really satisfying to see old traditional techniques in use, your door vids are absolutely essential viewing and even better you're from God's own county itself, Yorkshire 👍👍
I was in Yorkshire for holiday last summer. Just a LOVELY place, the history is incredible, and every person I met was friendly and kind. Greetings from San Francisco, CA.
@@marthas8108 hi ems, ta muchly love for loving my Yorkshire through new eyes, it's true we are the warmest largest coldest place in England. Then God fucked straight up n created London xx
Dude you got skills and patience God bless you with your craftsmanship beautiful job
I admit to some confusion. I thought this a glorious piece of work, so I have no idea why several hundred people gave the video a thumbs down. For me, it's clear instruction, gives me a great idea of how much time and patience is required to do something like this, sets out his materials and why he chose them, and best of all no distracting music. So, what's the issue?
It looks beautiful! Thanks for the video.
I really enjoyed the "door" series. Thanks ever so much for doing it!
Very nice job sir When I started working l work for old glass company and trained in making leaded lights for 20 years + we did a lot of church windows l all so made the stick on lead then soldering I used gas iron this was ok for cane lead but I had to cool it down a little for stick on lead we used to clean the talow off with scribing brush and newspaper too black the lead and it polished the solder l miss doing leaded lights as l am a joiner now well done 👍
What an amazing job! You’re a true professional😊
Patience and a steady hand!
This is great work and a great tutorial, thank you.
Wonderful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Kudos!
Oh wow i had no idea a product like adhesive lead strip existed. I cant wait to try this out. Thank you!
This was so relaxing to watch and a beautiful finished product. Nothing about it looked like a poor man's.
This is really beautiful, thank you for sharing.
It looks great. And the video is very relaxing to watch.
RUclips’s algorithm is really getting good at reading my mind! I was literally wondering if there was a way to do diy stained glass with light gels and vinyl, this is way better! Thanks for sharing and satisfying my curiosity :)
Looks spectacular - great job and result!
