This video shows you how I do branches out of solder for the Tiffany cobweb and apple blossom shade and other stained glass projects!

I love the last ‘lamp’ the body. Oh how beautiful! This sparks an idea I had but did not know how to execute it. Thank you

Danke für dieses sehr informative Video,baue zur Zeit selbst die Corb Web und bin begeistert mir nun selbst das Astwerk herzustellen zu können.Ein Freund von mir hat sich für sehr viel Geld das Astwerk in Zinkdruckguß gekauft. Wobei Zinkdruckguß sehr schwierig zu löten ist und er war sehr unglücklich darüber. Nochmals vielen lieben Dank. ❤❤❤

I really shouldn’t even respond to this. But I have been doing this for 40 years! I have a studio and a retail store. I’ve won numerous awards with this very technique and it is way less expensive than the brass branches. Oh and I did sell this lamp to a lady in Israel. I belong to the stained glass lamp Association and this lamp was featured in their calendar. It makes me angry when people make rude comments and shoot off their mouths without thinking! Thank you and have a nice day!

It’s amazing what you can do. I’m busy with this myself now and it’s going well. Even with the solder prices these days it’s cheaper than buying the real thing. I hope my cobweb and apple blossom turns out as good as yours.

If you don’t believe me feel free to visit my website and Facebook page...Harris Art Glass.....oh and I just won a national competition with this same technique Incorporated in it. Put that in your coffee and stir it!😉 and I posted it only because I had people asking me how it was done....because they thought it was a neat technique!

Thanks Scott! With the lack of brass supplies, just thought this would be another alternative.

Thank you , I wondered if this was a possibility . I contemplated cutting copper sheet to size and building on the copper as a base but this technique looks so much more practical . Excellent .

Robert, take a chill pill, guy. Exploring new techniques in our craft is exciting. I have been wanting to copy some Greene and Greene light fixture tree branch techniques for some time and could not figure out how they did it. While not the same as this video, I can clearly see how G&G created the branches within their panel and shaded the branch patina to make it look barklike in their light creations. I for one appreciate very much this video and say keep up the good work, even if that work means coloring outside other's selfdrawn and self-righteous lines.

As I can see you’re very good at this! How do you get the green stuff on the branches?

Very interesting technique !!! I will try. Just one thing to demand, do you solder enough tin (and lead) and did not use a protective mask. Regards
@maryharris76604 жыл бұрын
I don’t use a mask. I was worried about lead, so I had a blood test done. It was normal. That’s when I was pregnant with my twins, almost 30 years ago. I do wear a mask when I’m sanding wood. Oh and the twins were full term, almost 7 lbs each! There was a central filtering system in the building, so I just never worried about it. I’m retired now and just do a little commission work, and catch up on some things I never got to do for myself! Use good quality solder like Eagle 60/40.

Beautiful! What a genius idea. I'm wondering if you could patina the solder by itself and then add it to a piece that you want to keep silver. For example: the tree of life, patina the tree and then add everything else and leave it silver. I'm new to this art and I don't know how well it will solder after patina. Have you ever tried this method for bird feathers? Thank you for your time and wisdom.

Go ahead and solder everything. Using a paint brush, patina just the areas you do t want silver! Solder doesn’t solder well after it’s had patina on it. 👍
