this is a super awesome video. great job. Im new and this is very helpful.

I'm so glad I found your video, it's helped me a lot. I was definitely pushing too hard!! Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I was a push and shove cutter, but not anymore. I am getting closer and better cuts using the press and glide technique. Also, I am not wasting glass. Again, thanks so much for sharing. You rock!

Absolutely! Too many people destroy the glass with their score. I find what really matters is good, consistent pressure throughout the score.

So pretty!

Easiest curve technique, that I have ever seen. Thank you.❤

This looks great - I am really interested in beginning stained glass work and I have a cricut....... win, win! A suggestion - if you invert the origional image and then use "select by colour range" the first part of the process is much quicker. However if you do want to use the magic wand turn on Caps lock and you cursor turns into a cross hair making it much easier to select small areas. Great video!

What do you use to polish with? Im branching out to lead came and wish I had done it sooner.

2:44 mark- I am new to stained glass but I am a woodworker question: why wouldn’t you put the whole row together with your spacers then use a aluminum angle up against it and use that as a straight edge and do a side the same way then move the glass and check it with a square to check the squareness? It seems it would be a lot quicker instead of doing every single piece? Where did you get that pattern? I would like to try this. Great video thank you for sharing. 😊

Good video, nice step by step with explanations. I like it.

There is only one glass cutter to use if you do not want to lose a lot of glass and that is the Toyo. The reason is the cutting wheel. I talked with the inventor of the Toyo cutter before he died and know what it is. It is a metal matrix such as modern cutting tools are made from. It is super hard and precisely sharpened. The pistol grip is the only one to buy as with my modifications is it a one hand precise glass cutter without having to hold the cutter as you are doing as there is no other control unless you do this. What I do is loosen the screw, take off the head, remove the spring, replace the head, push it all the way up without the spring, turn the head 180 degrees from stock so that the screw does not hit the cut out in the head retainer for the screw. Tighten the screw with the head all the way up so that it does not turn. Now you have a real cutter that is precise. To oil the cutter head take a bottle cap, put some paper towel in it, then soak with WD40, now every few cuts just dip the cutter into the WD40 paper towel and continue. A Toyo head on my glass cutting machines would last over 40,000 pieces of glass at 3-4 cuts/piece. They last. For breaking glass use either a Diamantor glass cutter breaker as they are parallel, or, my favorite are crescent wrenches from large to the smallest for deep inside cuts. The reason crescent wrenches work and glass pliars are destroyers of glass is very simple. With glass pliars when the glass does not immediately break on the cut line you cannot help yourself from squeezing the pliars. This blows the glass apart. With crescent wrenches you can adjust to the thickness of the glass precisely and when bending to break the glass it never squeezes but applies the pressure always to only the score line. After you blow up some super expensive drapery glass and unobtainium old Uroboros and/or Oceana you learn what to do. I come from the aerospace world. Just because people used glass pliars for a long time does not mean they are the best way to do it. Try crescent wrenches and save time and money. If in business this could be the difference between making money or going out of business.

Is possible cement stained glass made with copper foil technique? or how can you reinforce those? Thanks :D

I’m having a hard time cutting textured glass (having really had good results - as in clean cuts working with plain window glass as a trial learning curve). I can’t believe how all of a sudden i can’t cut glass! I figured out it must be that because my material is different, my cutting technique is different, and I’m often breaking the glass rendering it an unusable piece. Does anyone have any advice for a newcomer to stained glass? I have a Toyo cutter, but maybe i should get better running pliers ((upgrade from my plastic ones) or is it just lack of cutting experience?

I just got done breaking a ton of pieces of glass and NOW you tell me?? 😂

Excellent video for a process that's not all that common nowadays. Very detailed and accurate.

This is a GREAT tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

Great video

Excellent, thank you. I'm obviously pushing way to hard looking for that sound. I was quite surprised to see you get that green glass arc cut in just one pass.😮😊😊

This was such a helpful video! Im gonna try my best to implement your tips! Thank you!

Damn girl you're really good at this.

Am embarking on making my first stained glass lead panel and live in a country where there is very little stained glass & zero stained glass suppliers. After hours searching KZfaq tutorials - especially making lead panels, I found your videos which are brilliant, and just the info I needed to be able to make a start on the project working on my own.

This video really helped me a lot, made cutting much less stressful. Thanks so much!!

Loved this tutorial, I"m just starting out, so thank you! Unrelated - your ring is soooo beautiful!

first of all- thank you thank you thank you for posting this- it was incredibly helpful and pretty easy to follow. I am just curious if you or any of your viewers can speak to why you might use procreate if you're already using photoshop. I started up with Procreate- new to it. And kinda figured it was going to be all I needed. But then nearly every video I see, folks are transferring the Procreate file to another graphic design software. Why use procreate in the first place? Should I just be using Photoshop? I'm so confused about this extra step!

Awesome! Thank You!! Now … Let’s go CUT SOME GLASS!! 😁

Thanks for the video :). What type of card do you use for the stencil?

I remember cutting glass once. Not free hand like this, in a device made for it. And here is the thing. To be able to cut glass you have to be gifted the ability at birth, cuz when a normal person like me or you does it, we will make the exact same movent as this guy and it shatters into a million pieces. But all jokes aside cutting glass is rly hard.

Why no comments?

Thats cool!!! Awsome

Love the Hot Wheels reference!!!

Sweet baby!!

You make me want to go into my studio but I’m about to leave on holiday 😩 😊

Это заслуживает большего кстати можешь закрепить?)

How do you like “ the grinder”? Contemplating whether to get one or not. I hear it doesn’t splash as much as other grinders

Good morning. Thank you for this video🥰

So happy to see you 😊. How's the baby?

I love my pistol grip cutter.if I had not found that tool years ago I would not have continued on my glass art journey. Great tips.

❤❤❤

What if you don't have Photoshop? Can you finish the pattern right in Procreate?

Great tutorial. Learned at lot. I've been working in glass for years. LOVED IT!!!😊

I feel privileged to have found these tips while I was simply looking to find out what tools I need to buy!

What is that tool called

Which version of Photoshop do you use? I see various versions on the Adobe website. Thanks in advance!

Do you buy it rippled like that or do you make it

I love building lead panels! I’ve been doing some foil projects lately and watching you has me anxious to get back to it. I have a transom window I’m working on next.
