I did stained glass for 3 years before discovering gel flux. The way it sticks to zinc framing is a game changer. The liquid flux balls up and runs away on zinc. Good tips, thanks

Yes! No one mentions this! Paste or gel flux is necessary for adding wire and zinc :)

Thanks Derek! Two of my necessary tips that no one seems to talk about are: 1) Paste flux for zinc and wire additions, 2) Rheostat to better control iron temp.

Hi 👋 first time viewer and now subscriber here! Somehow KZfaq brought me to Glass staining making channels 🤷‍♀️ But it has awakened the artist in me, and has reminded me about how I used to as a teen draw and carve on mirrors designs that I thought were pretty, for myself. This was back in the early 2000s, And it was just something that popped into my head cuz I love to draw. And I never really thought that it was something that anybody else would enjoy. But these channels have definitely inspired me to want to learn how to create stained glass art, especially art pieces that I haven't seen out there of fandom things that I love! I hope to binge watch your channel and learn everything I can learn as a beginner so I can create my designs and maybe one day share them with others!

Ceramicist with ADHD here considering taking stained glass classes this fall (cause you know....I don't have enough to do keeping up with pottery production for shows lol..) and diving down the youtube rabbit hole until then. Ty for this great resource and the encouragement to get good tools if you're going to invest in it! I suspect this will be helpful when I dive in knowing me x D

I've tried a lot of cutters and the oil-filled Toyos always leak for me, sooner or later. You can get replacement o-rings but they don't seem to hold up either. So I just use mine without oil in the reservoir and keep an oil-soaked sponge or small pool of oil in a bottle cap next to where I'm working. Old school solution but it works fine. I couldn't get used to pistol grip cutters so all of mine are pen-type. I've never seen one with the little sticky-out bit halfway down but I'm definitely going to look into them because my hand strength isn't great. And I'm curious, where do you stand on the swivel-tip cutters, as opposed to the fixed-tip ones?

@DerekHuntArtist Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback. I also dip my cutter in a cotton bud with oil rather than fill the cutter body, because they always leak. The heads on my cutters all swivel a bit.

Toyo cutters of good, but German made Silberschnitt are superior in my opinion.

@DerekHuntArtist Жыл бұрын

Interesting, I will try to get hold of a Silberschnitt glass cutter - you are the second person to mention them :-)

Textured glass, score on smooth side. Score once. Don't go over the score a 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc time. Just get a buzzing sound when you score. Use light pressure to achieve a score. Buy the best quality tools you can afford. Cheap tools will only cause problems down the road. Pistol grip glass cutter excellent for those with limited hand strength. Ya live by the tap when you score glass, you'll die by the tap as well. Pay attention what he says about running pliers. I have used Weller soldering irons for 45 years. My oldest iron is probably 40 years old and will works great. Buy a good soldering iron and spend the money. Otherwise you will have quality issues in your soldering since the tips are lousy, they don't maintain heat consistently. Pay attention to what this man says. He offers very sound advice.

I have a cutter that has a hand made spindle handle that allows me to cut towards me and it has a toyo head and relieved the tension in my shoulders and back. No stress on my hands.

Wow, that sounds like a useful piece of kit !
