I love the fact that she purposefully makes mistakes so she can show you how to fix them in real time? That's so much more helpful than just saying 'this could happen and you should do this'. She give explanations for her decisions and shows different tools/supplies in use. As someone watching this for the first time, I feel I've actually learned something, which is kinda amazing.

I know nothing about stained glass construction but I get the distinct feeling here that we are watching a master at work.

This lady knows what she is doing. Years of work. Excellent, obvious MASTER of your trade.

Donna is my new hero. This video shows that she's been doing this for YEARS! Her techniques are perfection. She's also great at explaining instructions. What a crafty human!

What a ridiculously good lesson! I already feel like I could make an amazing panel now despite never touching any of the equipment in my life 😁. Thanks for the great instructions, what a master!

Starting a new hobby at 68, thanks to a great rummage sale find; a tote box full ofglass, tools and an Inland grinder; all for $2.00!!! I do envy her steady hands, though!!

Ok Donna is amazing!!! I’ve watched A LOT of glass videos, this is by far the most I have learned in the shortest amount of time. She went over things no other video I’ve seen has. Thank you Donna!

Isn't technology great when you can get an education online? This is one such case! Thank you Donna for sharing your expertise!

She's so quick, you can tell she's had plenty of practice. I wish my soldering looked that neat! Beautiful work!

It is 3am and I can't sleep and somehow I ended up on this video and I am now obsessed with stain glass making. Donna, you are a master at your craft.

7yrs later and this is still the best class on stained glass I’ve seen 👍😄 Thank you

Adding to the chorus - after seeing a bunch of "hobbyist" videos it is really amazing to watch a master at work. She has the steady hands and cool head to be a heart surgeon!

Donna is the best. She really makes you feel comfortable working with glass, I must buy this stuff to start.

The speed and skill is incredible.. she makes it look so easy, the sign of a true craftsman!

My husband and I are new to stain glass so we are watching binge watching youtube videos. You win the youtube soldering prize! Your technique is amazing!

Wow she is amazing at soldering! Only a true dedicated person could ever reach that kind of mastered abilities.

What a master she is!!! I came to see how glass mosaics are done, and found out that is way too difficult. Donna makes it look so easy, but it's not only difficult, it's dangerous and risky at the same time; although beautiful. In her hands she makes it a piece of fine art . Thank you.

I have learned more useful techniques and hints in this 25 minute video than I have taking hours and hours of classes. Well done, concise and amazingly simple because the instructor understands the perspective of the novice.

Second time I've watched this over a long period of time. I enjoy watching her teach this because she's so clear, organized, and has a wonderful voice. I wonder how many times I'll have to watch before I get up the nerve to try it myself!

Is this as easy as she makes it look or is she just brilliant? I have a fantasy of building my own house and doing this!

The way she says dark chocolate is so cute! What a lovely accent. Great video!

I'm making a stained glass picture frame for my wife's birthday. I know it won't be as easy as you make it look, but I sure learned alot from your video! Thank you very much for posting it, you're a true expert at your craft.

Wow, she makes it look so easy on braking those curves without damaging the rest of the piece.

This is Amazing! Donna Rocks!!

One of the best stained glass tutorials I have ever seen! Donna is amazing!

You know how you know ..you have made a fantastic instructional video? When the viewer....thats me learnig....is afraid to take his eyes off of all the wonderful procedures.. You are fantastic...... And I am Greatful..Thank.You.

This would have been my favorite class in school, and she would have been my favorite teacher!

What a talent! A remarkable skill and a valuable demonstration for everyone interested in getting started! Thanks so much for this superb contribution!

:)...You do such beautiful work! You make it look easy...As a tradesman for 30 plus years, I know it's your years of practice that make you so good...I'm retiring, now, I've repaired giant stained glass windows in churches, here in philly, but; I would just get a piece of plexiglass and paint it, rough in the shape and caulk it. On a 25 to 40 foot wide unit. you'd never see it; but it's better than a hole...:)...Thanks for the tips on how to do it right!

only watched 3 minutes of it and i already know its gonna be done as it should. No neccesarry talking away from the subject straight to the point.

Thank you Donna, it was great to watch your skill in action.

I'm simply stunned. Donna is clearly a master stained glass worker/artist and I'd love to see her at work on a bigger project

You’re awesome, Donna! Thank you for sharing your expertise. Such a beautiful skill!

Brilliant video. Clear instructions and lots of what looks like good advice and tips.

Pure genius...Practically a basic master-class. Thank you.

I’m in awe! Your knowledge and mastery of stained glass art is amazing! It’s also pretty cool to see a fellow lefty teaching. ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve wanted to learn stained glass art for many years, but I’ve always been afraid that I’d end up with a huge pile of useless glass shards. Your instruction has given me inspiration to try. Thank you!

Really enjoyed watching a master at work with such clear instruction, nice one Donna. I feel inspired to try some of this for myself.

My grandfather did this after he retired. I have his pieces all over the house. He made everything from candy dishes to mirrors and even chandeliers. I would like to do this too. It would definitely teach patience-for sure.

Im so glad i watched this video! Watching you just SNAP that glass apart with your hands! So much faster and easier than how i was doing it! Thanks!

I like Donna very much. She is quick, professional and to the point. Some instructors in videos, speak to you at half speed, and it gets frusturating. Thanks Donna !

Nice to see an eloquent craftsman at work.

I had several pieces of stained glass that needed repair and was looking for someone that could tell me how to do the basics so I could repair them. Needless to say, after watching this video I am hooked. She makes it look so easy and it is exactly that IF have the correct tools. I got a good Weller Solder Iron and 50/50 solder and the rest is history!! Thank you so much for your video.

Donna, you make it look so easy. I've always thought this would be my retirement hobby. Watching you gives me confidence I can do it.

Thank you Donna. This was a very informative and helpful video. A lot of great information in just over 25 min. Loved all of the tips you gave and appreciated you sharing your expertise.

Wow! Excellent video! First one I’ve seen on doing this stuff and I feel so amped and ready to start learning more! Very great at explaining the reasons behind the “why you do it this way” instead of just leaving us hanging. Thank you so much!

Donna is such an excellent teacher!

Thank you, Donna, for an informative and beginner friendly video. I appreciate your time and effort.

I have learned so much from watching you do this. Your experience shows, you make it look almost effortless. Thank you!

Watching this so I can add mini windows to an architecture design module. (I’m still learning and just doing it for fun, so no time limit). This was helpful, thank you! The vocabulary makes a lot more sense with my metalworking background, lol. Thanks!

I can’t even tell you how much I love this video. Donna, you’re a star. Thanks so much :)

This was mesmerising to watch. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills!

I don't know how I got here as I have never had any interest in this but it is very obvious that this lady is an absolute master at this craft and a wonderful teacher. She just gives me a sense that she is a very kind and knowledgeable person.

She makes it look so easy. I see a bunch of pinterest fails if I would try this.

I think I've watched this video at least 5 times already and each time I learned something new, another reason I like you videos so much is because I'm left handed and can duplicate your moves in my head easier, thank you for taking the time to make things easier for us newbies.

I want to thank you for your very informative video. I recently pick stained glass again after 20 years break. I still had all my equipment grinder,tools and lots of glass scraps (as everyone knows it collects). You showed a clip on cutting a deep curve by making the one main cut and then a little smaller cut etc. Well, I tried it today and boom it cut beautifully. I am watching many videos from various artists and pick up from each one. Thank you for your professionalism and ease of instruction and the tip. Good day. Joey - Brandon Florida

Thanks I've enjoyed the video. I thought I knew glass cutting, but this video has brought something in me, art and craft! Another business to think about.......

Thank you for showing this to us and for letting us know just how easy it is to do!

Great job Donna.....I've been doing copper foil for over 10 years now,and still going...great video's for beginners..I've been buying your supplies for years now,but I'm really sad to know they don't manufacture glue chip anymore,but I'm glad I bought a bunch before they stopped,but I use it sparingly now..thanks for keeping this hobby alive.

Golden hands... What a skilled nice lady! Much thanks Mrs Donna.

This is a terrific overview of panel making from start to finish. The pace of the video is just right and the steps are organized so that a novice can understand the project. Nice intro to a workshop or studio class. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial! I very much appreciate you sharing your expertise with us. I haven’t done this since high school. Well into my 40’s now I have a huge desire to take this up again. Many thanks!

Great tutorial!! You walked through the processes quickly and proficiently!! You explained the nuances without being too gabby or opinionated!! You explained and defined terms... GREAT AND AWESOME VIDEO!!! I learned a lot!

thank you, I have learnt a great deal from this video. You are a great teacher

Thank you for such a clear and helpful tutorial! Absolutely loved this video

What a wonderful teacher! Great job on quality of video all around! Thank you!

Thanks very much, I am working on panels and beginning to design patterns of my own. I appreciate your precise explanation. I look forward to seeing future updates

Donna. You rock, girl.

Excellent class! Thank you very much! I'm just starting out so this was super helpful!

Thank you for an amazing tutorial. I have been so curious to try stained glass, but scared. This makes the craft so accessible (with a few beginner tweaks 😉 ). I feel confident to try it. Thank you for being a great teacher!

Awesome teacher best instructional video I've seen thanks

Wow, what a great teacher. This is the most informative video I've seen with regards to stained glass. I've taken lots of notes to attempt fixing my door panel but also feeling inspired to look for a course!! Thank you Glass Crafters

I like that she isn’t looking fir attention and just providing solid helpful information. Refreshing.

By far this is the best glass video i've seen yet!

Thank you. I just picked it up after many years. Lots of great tips and great tutorial

Great demo especially appreciate showing mistakes and explainig how to correct.

a generous explaining for every step!!! thank u so much . 🙏🏻

What a fantastic teacher. I loved watching and learning from her ❤️👌

Wow Donna, you make it look so easy! You are an amazing craftswoman!! :) Thank you for this thorough tutorial. Much appreciated.

She’s a beast 💪🏼

keep posting Donna love your work...

Amazing teacher! Thank you

My compliments, I stayed interested the entire video and it was very educational. Normally on one of these, every time the narrator opened her mouth the vid cut away to a close-up selfie of herself instead of what she was doing... you didn't. You showed what I was interested about and did it well and knowledgeably. THUMBS UP

Strip cutter a great tool ♥️great teacher

What a great teacher and such talent! She makes it look so easy :o Now its my turn to try and I have a feeling it wont go as smoothly XD

Excellent video! Very informative and thorough! Thank you!

I inherited a whole bunch of glass,...now to look for supplies and give it a whirl !!

For years, I've been wondering how stained glass projects were made until i saw and watched your video. now, i know how. Thank you. You're a good teacher. Wish you're here and have a workshop for people who are interested to learn more. Please take good care of your hands ( coz i'm afraid it might cut you). Again, thank you. More power to you and your company.

AS with most highly skilled craft workers you made that look so easy, it was a pleasure to watch and a an inspiration to try and have a go, Thankyou so much for sharing it with us. Phil.

You madame, are an absolute master. You made this look incredibly easy (I know it's not). Very clear and precise tutorial! Thank you.

You are a GREAT Teacher! !! Very good at everything!, your home must be BEAUTIFUL! !

That’s is a very great point you made about using black patina and solder lines.

I love this video, so clear and ful of tips and techniques. Very well put together. Love her explanations. Looking forward to trying stained glass window making. If I can be half as neat as this woman I'll be happy and I'll keep working on it! :)

Excellent, your a very skilled instructor, Thank You for taking some of the mystery out of this craft. I work in metal and wood and want to incorporate more coloured glass into my work!

Wow! Thank you Donna, you’re amazing.

This was so incredibly informative, thank you for producing such a wonderful and thorough tutorial!

Great job DONNA!! Beautiful! ❣👏👏👏👏👏
