Wow.....just Wow! Some of these are just so complicated that I cannot even imagine doing myself especially the old Church ones. I try to think of how hard it had to be for them hundreds of years ago to created these huge panels without the luxury of our modern day tools. Just beautiful. The people who did these were true artisans. I can only hope to find a fraction of their talent within myself. Thank you so much Milly for sharing these...what joy it brings my heart to look at these pictures!!
Outstanding, with the running pliers the rubber tips were worn down and i found that when i removed them i just flipped them over and now there like new. So i didn’t know you could do this but it worked for me.
Thank you Milly. I found your video clear, concise and informative for beginners, which I am. I am planning on doing stain glass projects here in Southern California. Hopefully you can visit LA and give me technical advice.. LOL. God Bless.
LA here I come! Thanks for taking the time to comment, I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your projects. I have a course that might suit you - you can check it out here: everythingstainedglass.com/stained-glass-diy
Thanks for such informative, fun and precise video. I was thinking of starting in stained glass and was just looking for something like this since I had no clue what tools I need to get started. Thanks!!!
Thanks Mux. (that just auto-corrected to 'mum' - lucky I didn't hit reply! I have an online class that will help you get started. You can find out about it here if you're interested: everythingstainedglass.com/stained-glass-diy
Everything Stained Glass I will later but at the moment I have just moved into a 1970s house busy pulling it apart. I have tried cutting a bit of plain glass but Not many diy,s sell the scoring tools I would like to try the pistol grip ❤️❤️❤️ my dad always called it a wet stone
thank you! this is a great video, really useful. I've never made stained glass before and I would like to try. I'm quite daunted by how on earth to go about it, or whether I can afford to go on a course or buy the kit, but I love stained glass and seeing how little kit you actually need is helpful. Your video is very clear and nice to watch :)
That's good to know Katy. It can be a bit overwhelming - I guess like anything new - until you know what you need and what it's for. I have an online class that lots of students have used in your position, it's called Stained Glass Made Perfect. You can see if it's the right fit for you over here: everythingstainedglass.com/stained-glass-diy
What a fantastic video! Thank you very much for doing this. I am trying to get the tools in place to do glass mosaics and this video perfectly answered my questions. Have subscribed.
Thank you for your video. I'm about to embark on some repairs to some Victorian stained glass in my house. I have a lot of old glass because before we moved into the house, a large stained glass window was badly damaged because someone broke into the property. I plan to use the old pieces to near-colour match and repair. I haven't bought the tools yet but your video was very helpful. I noticed you are in Bristol (we are based there too) Q. Is there a recommended place to go for the general public to buy the basics? Thanks again Tony
Hi Tony, I'm assuming you've detected from my accent that I'm from the UK and you're not thinking 'Bristol, USA'?! In Bristol UK you can go to Creative Glass Guild, in St Philips. I used to teach there a while back. They're very helpful and there's lots of stock to drool over. Hope that helps and good luck with your next project.
Hi, thanks for the reply! Yes I'm Bristol (UK) based. And I did go to Creative Glass Guild; they were very helpful. I've now got all the basic kit. I've done 80% of the repairs. I think I might need to get some lead came as the lifted lead doesn't look that great after I teased it up to replace the glass....might prove to be a little more expensive... That said, my wife is pleased with the repairs I've done to date :-) Thanks again for the video. Regards Tony (Bishopston)
thank you for this amazing and useful class. Need more! Help!!!! which stone is this? can i use the one for iron sharp? Im from Brazil and I intend to make some glass mosaic.
Hi, it's a carborundum stone - it's also called a sharpening stone. You can get them anywhere. You can dull the edges of the glass so it isn't dangerous and sharpen your lead knife with them, but don't go anywhere near a soldering iron with them! Good luck.
Good question Apporva, thanks. Yes, minimum 80watts for the soldering iron if there's no heat dial on the soldering iron. If you have a heat dial you can turn it up as desired. I have a page on soldering irons here: everythingstainedglass.com/soldering-irons. Hope that helps.
Hi Joe, pretty much any flux you get from stained glass suppliers will do the job. I once saw someone using Vaseline for a stained glass flux and that worked!
no 6 speak about black back copper fouil ;no 7 add a sqitch on your iron ; no11 use trombonne for ou hanging oukc or wire and finaly I use carboramdum pin as cutter or scriber around a form for multiple production
You must have a group of friends that would put a tool kit together under your name , and using the exact tools you use , sell it , make profit , send you check in mail I would buy your knowledge before anyone else on the planet.
Tom that's a fantastic idea, I'd love that. It's frustrating sometimes to see the stained glass kits that contain things you don't really need - or, worst of all - a dodgy soldering iron. Thanks for your idea.
Dust. Some kind of fan is good for fume extraction too if you're going to do lots of soldering. All questions are welcomed as long as they're not from sarcastic trolls :-)
@@everything-stained-glass Thanks for your reply. Dust from using the stone...I guess you don't wear it all the time. Your videos are really informative. I've just bought the stuff to get started! 🙂 Thanks again!
It depends Chris. If you go the easy route and buy a stained glass kit like the ones on this page everythingstainedglass.com/stained-glass-kits it would work out about $340. You might find you don't have exactly the tools you want and a couple you don't need. Or you could reduce that by around $60-80 by finding each tool individually. I hope that helps.

Just found your comment in spam Trisha Flesh, so sorry! Glad you enjoyed the images and hope that your stained glass journey is progressing :-)
Outstanding, with the running pliers the rubber tips were worn down and i found that when i removed them i just flipped them over and now there like new. So i didn’t know you could do this but it worked for me.
Thanks Sunshine M and thanks too for adding your useful tip :-)
Thank so much taking the time to reply, very much appreciated! Regards, -Joe

You're welcome Adi, glad it helped.
Thank you Milly. So looking forward to working with stained glass on my Narrowboat. Jan
You're welcome Janet. Sounds a bit crowded! But those narrowboats are gorgeous and probably bigger than my house :-)

You should put the list in the description :). I need to go through later and right this all down.
Thanks for the suggestion Amanda - I'll get around to it one day :-)
This is a great video you explain so well , now I know the tools . I have mosaic tools but never tried stained glass thanks
I dare you to give stained glass a try! You might get addicted though :-)

Thanks for the video,but any specific watt soldering iron for soldering the glass?
Good question Apporva, thanks. Yes, minimum 80watts for the soldering iron if there's no heat dial on the soldering iron. If you have a heat dial you can turn it up as desired. I have a page on soldering irons here: everythingstainedglass.com/soldering-irons. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much :) really informative and entertaining :)
Thanks Dave! Glad you liked my new fashion attire :-)
Thanks for the information, question, zinc came oxidation is a problem, can you clean this.
Go over it with fine slightly damp steel wool Kathy - wear a mask. That'll clean it up.
QUESTION??---Thank you for the valuable info, Which kind liquid flux is recommended? there is copper flux, electrical flux, etc----Thx!
Hi Joe, pretty much any flux you get from stained glass suppliers will do the job. I once saw someone using Vaseline for a stained glass flux and that worked!
You are adorable and so informative:)
Thanks Holly, that's a nice start to my week :-) Glad it helped.

Are u in 🇬🇧 and if so- anywhere near Wales!!
Hi Lisa, yes, I'm in Bristol :-) My studio is in Ireland though LOL!
Probably a silly question but can i ask why you need the breathing mask?
Dust. Some kind of fan is good for fume extraction too if you're going to do lots of soldering. All questions are welcomed as long as they're not from sarcastic trolls :-)
@@everything-stained-glass Thanks for your reply. Dust from using the stone...I guess you don't wear it all the time. Your videos are really informative. I've just bought the stuff to get started! 🙂 Thanks again!
