I have watched a ton of these videos, I am so impressed by this kind of work. I just realized that this Man is doing this work without the use of his thumbs. Hes clearly not disabled. I'm sorry if mentioning something like this in the comment section of KZfaq is considered poor taste, but I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the fact that this dude is AMAZING... Much respect.

Thank you for this. I've been dabbling in stained glass for 28 years but I've never placed a focus on repairs. I was just given a large antique panel in need of repair. This looks very doable after watching your technique. Thanks so much!

I just came across this video and wanted to comment on the beautiful work you do! I must say your soldering is absolutely fabulous and could be considered an art form into itself! You would never know the piece had been repaired. Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video and sharing it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I really appreciate how you gave instruction, the whole way through,, i.e. clamp and twist. It is those little skills that so many leave off of their vids. Well done!

It's another lockdown day in the middle of the coronavirus and your video just made it heaps better. Thank you for your amazing repair example and for sharing your expertise!

Fantastic. A great demonstration with no voice-over. Love that!

~ You make it look sooooooooooo easy!! I just bought a stained glass window that is over 100 years old and needs 2 areas to be repaired. Wish me luck!

I have wondered for a very long time just how broken pieces are repaired. Nowhere have I seen a video of how its done, until I accidently came across this video. You my friend are a master craftsmen, beautiful work! I look forward to other videos by you! BEAUTIFUL WORK!

I just have to say that I was not planning on watching the whole video. I was supposed to be working on homework. But I could not stop from watching. Just like Richard said, I found it very therapeutic to watch. It looks like a lot of work to repair a small piece. I don't think I would go into all of that detail, but I'm thankful for people like you. That is such a gift to be able to craft that. Thanks for posting this on here.

Thank you! This video has given me the balls to give it a go on an edwardian display cabinet that I'm trying to restore... As an electronic engineer I've done my fair share of soldering, I just need to get my glass cutting skills sorted. :)

Thank you! You have encouraged me to repair one my windows that I was afraid to tackle myself. God bless you and your talent!

Beautiful work. I truly had no idea about how much work and patience it took to do leaded glass. Such attention to detail. This is the old fashioned 'guild' level of work from the renaissance. I kept thinking about how used to dealing with big impersonal industries I am. Very impressive work.

I used to repair broken glass cabinets in Deutschland for an antique dealer. You need a LOT of patience, especially when beading the soldier as beautifully as this was done. Brought back good memories for me. Danke.

I loved every single one of your tips, I could glass for twenty years and not know as much as you do in this one video. Thank you so much, aroha from one kiwi to another

It’s always a real joy seeing a craftsman at work. Great video upload. All the best mate.

This was soooo therapeutic to watch - I'm going to watch more of your videos when i'm feeling anxious. I also want to have a go at fixing some lead lighting now!! You are an artist, I love your attention to detail.

never would have guessed using a Dremel-like tool to cut the came in half...great technique!

Thanks again Karal. This is one of my favorite. Not much call for stained glass work in state of Tennessee but you've given me a leg up on a great retirement hobby. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks mate. Just bought a 100+ year old cupboard with some proken windows... My wife freaked out, but now thanks to your good advice, I'm gonna surprise her with a fixed version! Cheers!

I particularly liked that you saved me £10 on a roll of black backed foil by using a £1 Sharpie, that is superb 😀

You are a genius! I have a friend's fireplace screen that toppled over and broke in several places to repair, and you can bet I will be accessing this video a lot to refresh my memory on your technique. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thanks for sharing such great instructional videos! I'm attempting to repair some broken panels in my mom's antique lead glass door and your videos have been very helpful!

The best repair I have seen yet. I have gone to several stain glass shops that told me that what was done in this video was impossible.

OMG. I was just getting ready to totally disassemble an old stained glass panel that had some broken glass in it. This method would be an absolute life-saver -- keeps me from disassembling the entire piece. Thanks so much

Very nice and really helpful! There’s a certain amount of grace and rhythm in your soldier movement. Very skilled & artist!

I've repaired some camed windows, and have always replaced the lead channel, but here with some very nice solder work, it makes for a viable alternative. Might just try that next time. Well done!

I love your presentation can't stop watching it makes me more confident, however I need to clean my lead.

nicely done. mesmerizing. great step-by-step instruction, fantastic camera work.

Excellent video. Thank you for making it. You showed exactly what I was looking for and you did it so well.

Great video! Your video showed an outer edge piece of broken glass. I've got a broken "inner piece" of glass in a leaded window and couldn't figure out how to replace it without having to completely rebuild from the outside edge all the way to the inner broken piece. Your method of carefully grinding off one side of the channeled lead is perfect! Thanks so much.

first class repair bud! I've seen well paid restorers that couldn't pull that off.

That's a great job! I was doing stained glass for a fair while before I figured out this technique. There are times, especially when the glass is in the middle of panel, that I peel off the full face of the lead to get a piece out. I then solder that strip of lead back where possible and put a bead of caulking under the full lead strip, push down, then clean up later. An alternative approach to replacing a piece without disassembling a panel.

I love watching your tutorials. You have the best ideas for getting the job done. Some people ramble on and are so obviously impressed with themselves. You just do the work, even the pace of your video is good for those of us with short attention spans. My favorite is your sense of humor. Thanks for posting for the rest of us to learn.

Such skill, attention to detail! You make it look so easy, though I'm sure it's not! I have a cracked piece of leaded glass on my front door from an accident with some construction workers. Glad to know it's not as complicated of a fix as I was imagining!

This was so soothing and I completely understand what you were doing. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome stuff!! This was great to watch, your a star!!

Wow!!!! Mate you are amazing!!!! I'm going to give this a go on some Windows I have, won't come out half as good as this! Keep the videos coming buddy

Just brilliant ! I tried to restore some of my own and it was to hard 😳this guy is a very special trades man respect

I just learned 4 technique variations in under 12 minutes. Thank you very much!

wow. The most relaxing DYI video I have ever watched.

Only one word for your talent "brilliant"! an over used word but , you have shown a way to quarter the time I spend repairing lead... Thank You!

That was so very cool to see how one can be repaired. :) I love how it didn't even look like it had been recently repaired in the end. The patina worked great. :) Tapping is my favorite too when I am cutting pieces for fusing in my kiln. :) I could do it all day long. *chuckle* I would have saved the broken pieces of glass I took out of the window for fusing in my kiln. Maybe I should practice then get into stained glass repair around here... I bet I could keep the broken bits of glass. ;) - Heidi

That is awesome, I can’t believe how you made it match so well.

Just great - I have picked up a few damaged pieces and this is really helpful! Thanks - Chris

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so people lime me can learn from some one like you. you are a real artist. thank you much

I'm inspired to get to work and do my repairs! Thanks so much for making this great video. I love it!

I love this. I have a pile of windows to restore and feeling daunted. However feeling a little more positive about this thanks.

Great to see a top quality work. Fantastic.

Wow what a beautiful finish and process!

Amazing, true craftsmanship! Nice job

That was amazing to watch...only the second one I've watched but I think I'll be taking my glass to the leadlight lady down the road! I'll be watching more of your videos just for fun! Feilding NZ!

Very,very nice job.Thanks for sharing.Best regards from România. :)

Thank you. Your video is very informative. Now I can repair a broken spot in a window from 1905.

Brilliant! Such a great solution. Going to try this method on my repair. Thanks. Mx

God has given you quite a talent! I am amazed!

Beautiful work. Thank you for the demonstration.

Glad you are making more videos, thank you for all your knowledge ❤️😊

Excellent video, thank you! A friend has given my a Tiffany lampshade to fix as one flat side (of 4) got squished in whilst n storage and 2 or 3 pieces of glass have been forced out of their frames. Having watched your video I now understand how the pieces of glass are held in place - as well as how the general mechanical structure works - and why copper foil tape is used. The copper foil is easy to apply to the edges and only becomes 'structural' once the glass piece is in place and solder added to the copper foil welding it to all its neighbour's lead frames. It's rather clever, in-it?!

Thank you so much for sharing your skills. I learnt so much from this demonstration

Thankyou. I have a beautiful leadlight panelled door in need of repair for a home project and this video has really helped me with it. Cheers :)

Class job. A proper leaded repair. No glue!

i found your video well made, easy to learn from and inspiring to try my own repair. wish me luck... thank you

Боже мой,а что с руками?Какая точная красивая работа.Руки -то золотые.Hands from gold.

That was a beautiful show of skill and mastery, almost a meditation on how to repair a lead panel. I have to honestly say it brought me to tears. I'm tasked with repairing a 1900's lead glass panel that isn't anything special. It was probably mass-produced and installed to just fill the window space quickly and cheaply (rectangular bay windows, 4'x6', a lead came matrix of rectangular window glass). I have never done any window restoration and this video is the first one I have seen. I can't find the words to explain the tears, just know that I appreciate your fine work.

Your skills are amazing!

Good job !! So enjoyable watching you🙂

THANK YOU!!! I learned so much!!! Awesome work!!!

I'm just starting out. Have started a project. I like this video, don't care if its unorthodox I like it.

It’s beautiful repair job. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for skillZ and demonstration, you rock!!! 💕💕💕

wow i will try to fix my broken glass now, excellent video thank you very much

Fabulous skill and precision! Thanks! Solved my little repair!

True ancient skill master, honor & respect!

Thank you very much you are relaxing to watch thanks

Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting.

Excellent work!!

You've helped me a lot..Thank you so much for your videos..!

This technique is brilliant!

Thank you for the excellent video. That’s so helpful.

thanks for the tips didn't know how to repair with copper foil, I normally cut away all the lead and rebuild depending on which piece I'm replacing. Mandy - Adelaide

Thanks for the vid. I love this method.

Fabulous work. Bravo.

Thank you for sharing. Great video, very helpful.

top quality from a sure master = thank you sir !

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much.

I am very impressed on your patience as you carefully work the lead. I appreciate the tapping technique, never thought of that. An art piece like that is definitely worth all the detail. I think I will not shy away from damaged leaded/stained glass new. Thank you for the beautiful video.

Super gemacht 👍 Tolles Video

Learned heaps, thank you so much

You are a credit to your craft...God Bless :)

Lovely satisfying work to watch loved it

Phenomenal skill!

Beautiful work .

Love the video, very explanatory, thank you. Definitely I suscribe to your channel.

Thanks for the video.So to start a repair job what do I need? A soldering iron, a utility knife, a sculpture knife, a tin bar, a diamond glass cutting tool, a pair of pliers, a solution say 5% HCL, a steady hand and good luck. Am I missing something?

Great work.

Awesome video, would you be able to tell me what the power tool is you use to cut back the lead. thankyou for sharing your skills.

Bravo! Well done! 👍

Great job!

You got skillz! I've got to do this and I'm dreading it, lol.

Very nice, gr8 job!!
