Exactly like sewing patterns, saving cuts by putting pattern pieces together always feels like some kind of bonus in a puzzle game.

@poppyasher Ай бұрын

I was thinking the exact opposite. Unlike sewing, you don't need to worry about seam allowance and grain lines. Some fabric waste is necessary, but glass is a homogenous material so you can butt the pieces up every which way.

@@alexandra_symphony You can always be the first to try using a pattern in your area. Make sure you measure yourself and check the measurements for the sizing on the pattern before you buy one. Clothing pattern sizes are different from the sizes that people wear normally. And if it's an old pattern it even has a different sizing. They are beginner level patterns and more advanced patterns so just be conscious of that. Make sure when you are buying a pattern that you read the back of the pattern before you buy it. Because it'll tell you what kind of fabrics are suitable, How much fabric you need. Also the notions or trim. There are also electronic patterns that you can print out on your printer. Never tried that. Or you can even buy a book that has patterns in it but you have to use your math skills to utilize it. A lot of old books for cheap you can find that are for dressmakers and Taylors. They sell mats or even folded cutting boards made of cardboard that has a lot of the math on it already to help with people cutting fabric the right length and at the right curve or angle.

Something that you might be able to make use of in the future with the "this scored glass won't break" issue is to put the glass underwater before you work with the pliers. Water allows excess force to dissipate and it makes breaking the glass super easy without needing to do all the tapping

@DaniCal1forn1a Ай бұрын

Water's incompressibility is why it helps with that I imagine? That's really cool and a good tip 😊

@dawnchesbro4189 Ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing these deceptively simple tips! Stained glass is so much harder than it looks and people really do need advice starting out. I took classes as a kid in the 1980s. My stepfather was a professional photographer who did multimedia sculpture on the side. We had a giant barn that served as studio/ workshop etc and he taught me so much, he saved me from making tons of mistakes, because there’s just so much to learn and know. Execution can be done well or poorly and the tips you just gave make the difference between a piece that’s clunky and a piece that is finely wrought. Clunky has its place, but when you have a vision and you desperately want to translate what you see in your head to the outside finely wrought is ideal.

Lead poisoning is so underrated and people underestimate soldering. Use N95 mask when you do that. Stay safe! :)

@NickiWinwood-Tankink 10 күн бұрын

It's actually the rosin core which is dangerous, modern solder doesn't use lead. Unless stained glass people prefer leaded solder, I cannot find it personally.

@TamGar 7 күн бұрын

Lead solder is still common when using lead-came construction method. If using copper foil method then most have switched to "lead free" which typically uses Silver intead of lead (can be expensive). Lead solder is only banned for use in construction for things like water pipes etc. I had a craft supply store for Stained Glass and other glass arts.. we sold both kinds of solder. Never rosin cored .. for stained glass its 60/40 Tin/lead, solid core 3-4mm we used to get it from Canada Metal or Cascade Lead products in Vancouver, BC. (Looks like Canada Metal's Vancouver outlet is CMP now and not making solder, used to be Canada Metal Pacific). You would need a P100 to protect agaisnt gaseous fumes... N95 is only for particulates. The temp you are doing this kind of soldering at will not result in the metals becoming gaseous. Really its the by-products of the flux that you shouldn't breathe. They make fume traps that you place beside your soldering iron that have charcoal filters. Really its mostly recomened that you only solder in a well ventalled area. Set up a fan that blows anything coming off your project away from you. And make sure there is air exchange to outside in the room. And wash your hands frequently, cover any cuts or abbrasions. Lead cannot absorb through your skin without it being open. The typical route of exposure is from your hands to your mouth or your eyes, so dont touch your face, eat or drink or smoke until you have thoroughly washed your hands. Also be careful of solvents and patina chemicals... ALWAYS WEAR rubber gloves when using glass cleaner or using patina. Solvents can make your skin porous enough for lead to absorb. The other metal in this kind of solder is Antimony which you should take the same precautions as Lead. PROJECTS like jewelry or jewelry boxes or anything that will he handled alot by the end user should be made with "Lead-free". A window panel you are going to hang in a window and never touch again, it doesn't matter as long as the end user is educated about using gloves to handle it while cleaning (glass cleaners without Immonia or vinegar)... and not to do things like "lick the solder" LOL We sold a thin wax like cleaner that worked well to clean the glass and seal the solder. Wipe on, dry, buff off. Called Clarity/Kempro Stained Glass Finnishing Compound.

@no-ld3hz Ай бұрын

you might also want to look into flux for soldering. while it's primarily used for soldering in electronics, it helps make the solder wet the copper a lot better, possibly leading to straighter lines. I do recommend doing it outside or having good ventilation.

Some advice from a soldering expert. If you're having to turn the temperature up to 410 then either you need a higher wattage, your tip needs replacing, you're not using the correct shape of tip to transfer the heat well, or you need to change which solder is used. Turning the temperature up starts damaging the tip, as the flux residue starts baking on, and then cleaning the tip damages the coating so it doesn't work as well.

@clairefuzipeg1983 Ай бұрын

@@no-ld3hz yeah, even though unleaded is harder to work with, you still should only use it between 370-390C. The flux is more toxic and harder to work with in unleaded to compensate for the lack of lead, so it's easier to damage your tips.

Consider using soldering flux, it lets the solder surface wet and act more like a fluid rather than a wax. This will mean that you will get smoother surfaces and it will stick to the parts you wanted to stick. It will give you more of the bead look that will be more uniform.
