Love stained glass. It always helps to see how other people do the various parts of glass and to pick up something new or see how each step is demonstrated. You never know, it might help to try a newer technique. Thank you for today.

Total "Wow Moment" when you used the edge to tear off the end. I've be laying down the peaces on one side to use scissors to cut and it has made a mess several times.

@GommStainedGlass 2 жыл бұрын

One of my "talents" is that of finding easier ways of doing things (some would call that lazy) So I found that tearing the foil off as if on a tape dispenser. Thanks for noticing!

I have been doing this for 10 years and always thought my joints were sometimes to far apart. After watching this video I see that yours look like mine. I now feel better about my work since it is comparable to a professional craftsman like yourself

@GommStainedGlass 5 жыл бұрын

We have built panels that were tighter and some that had even wider gaps. What's great is that if you make the gaps equal, the eye doesn't pick up the imperfections.

CAn you show a video of the different looks of soldered and patina copper foil? I use black backed copper foil as that is what my instructor showed me to use. I see you are using a clear copper foil. Does this effect the look of solder and patina when you are finished?

@GommStainedGlass 4 жыл бұрын

The only time we use black backed foil is when we're doing work with clear glass that will be patina'd black..same with silver backed on clear that will remain silver..this is just to keep the color from detracting from the overall look of the finished piece. When we started in stained glass, there wasn't any black or silver backed foil that came years later. Back then we just exercised patience because the copper foil would darken over time and you wouldn't see the copper peeking through.

Do you have tips on completing Tiffney lamps

@GommStainedGlass 3 жыл бұрын

The one tip I have is that if you start soldering a Tiffany shade, finish it right away. I once did one halfway, but ran out of solder. So I couldn't finish soldering it right away. The solder got corroded and was difficult to work with once I got back to it!

@yuliyabryant4052 2 жыл бұрын

Hello, I just bought soldering iron but do not know if it can be used for soldering of the stained glass. Need your advice.

@GommStainedGlass 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on how hot it will get and the size of the tip. You'll know as soon as you try it...good luck

Hi, how do you calculate how much foil you would use on a project, for quote purposes?

@GommStainedGlass 3 жыл бұрын

We figure 1 roll per panel, which is usually way more than we need.

Walmart sells clear plastic cheap and when it's all done, I can wash it or throw it away and then roll up the pattern easily for storage.

@margaretsanders9068 Жыл бұрын

Why didn't you use black backing for that clear glass you just foiled.

@GommStainedGlass Жыл бұрын

We're not in the habit of using black backed foil. It didn't exist when we started with stained glass and we've noticed that foil changes color on the inside over time so we don't worry so much about it. But it's fine to use it if you want that bit of color difference right away 😀

@billrowe257 3 жыл бұрын

Good instruction but a hell of a lot of babbling. Need better editing

@GommStainedGlass 3 жыл бұрын

I re-watched the video and found that the "babbling was in the form of instruction. I was actually giving instruction at all times about foiling and it seemed pretty comprehensive. That might seem like too much if you are already experienced, but beginners find it helpful if I cover the subject completely.

@@GommStainedGlass Since I have been doing stained glass for a couple of years, you will of course go over things I already know. That is fine with me because sometimes I need a refresher and you always have a little gem of information that I appreciate. That is when I say to myself, "Oh, that is how you do that!" How wonderful that is. Thank you.

@@mlcookiec Thanks, for your support. Not every word is a gem of wisdom. Sometimes folks forget that because of the nature of the no-cost nature of KZfaq video's, we can't possibly edit to perfection or avoid repetition. Our first video that we still sell on Amazon took a year and a half to create and still details got left out during the editing process.
