    As someone that does stained glass, the copper tape is not what holds things together, it is the solder. The tape allows the solder to form the channels that hold the glass. That's one of the reasons why you want a thicker bead of solder, because the solder is making a frame that is holding the glass. You guys did a GREAT job!

    • @EKimatH
      @EKimatH ปีที่แล้ว +44

      As someone who is in the next room while someone else does stained glass and is never asked for flux ever I can also add that the solder follows the flux, not the tape. The flux helps lowering the melting point of the solder that you glop along the copper, so that what you glop stays glopped for long enough to allow it to flow into place. And it’ll flow into the place where the flux is, because anywhere there’s no flux won’t allow for the glop to glop
      Does that make sense?
      I feel like it doesn’t make sense but in my head this is what I have labelled as ‘science reasons for this art thing to work’

      You also want a bit of a gap between pieces of glass, so solder can melt between and connect the front and back solder into one piece/ cage/ frame around each piece of glass. It's this cage that is the support of the panel.

    Pro tip: solder follows heat. So if you want it to follow a line like that you can heat up the surface with your iron before you put solder down. And then when it flows it'll follow your line a little easier

    I love this! My dad taught me how to do this when I was a teenager. Fell in love immediately! Helpful tip if you want to do it again, my dad would cut out the pieces of paper of the stenciled design and he’d spray glue them to the glass. They’d stay on while you cut them and even grind them and the paper washes right off with just water when you’re done grinding. Permanent marker works on the glass as well, but it sometimes washes off when grinding because of the fluids and your fingers wipe it off. All around love this and I hope you both continue creating more now that you got the hang of it. Can’t wait to see Jubee in her spacesuit. I know you can do it😉

    One thing I’d like to add is that mosaics might even be a good starting point to see if you like working with glass before trying a project like this! You can use a wider variety of materials (tiles, broken glass, cut glass pieces, etc.) to make your design, and a variety of techniques to give the effect that you want! You can make see-through faux-stained glass mosaics in something like a picture frame or on a variety of surfaces if you want to make your art opaque. Though related, Mosaics are their own special art and would be cool to see you guys tackle in the future! You can get really creative with the designs!
    (Safety is number one, so make sure no matter what, when you’re working with glass, ceramic, chemical agents, machinery, or other tools - always be safe and use the necessary protective gear!)

  • @vermili0n9
    @vermili0n9 ปีที่แล้ว +257

    Soldering usually works best when you use soldering iron to heat the surface you wish to solder and then touching that surface with the solder. Hot surface "absorbs" the solder. Cold surface puts solder back into solid state, which makes it not stick. Touching solder to soldering iron tip results in solder being absorbed by soldering iron tip, which is why it's better to apply solder straight to the heated surface rather than the soldering iron tip.
    You definitely don't want to use soldering iron like a paint brush like Evan did.

      you can kinda get away with painting but it requires like, paste flux and a temp controlled iron or the joints look cold af lol. like once the copper is tinned the heat transfer is way easier, and you need a lot of flux to get that base tinning layer.

      It usually works a little different with stained glass. Brushing the foil with flux, then putting solder on the tip then applying it is how I and most other stained glass artists I know were taught. I'm sure there is other ways other stained glass artists use, but this method is very common.

      They used proper technique for stained glass. It is not a "heat sink" situation like soldering metal together. You will crack the glass applying heat to it. The less contact between the iron and the surface, the better. The iron is to melt and spread the solder, NOT to heat up the glass.

    As a professional leadsmith (stained glass artist) You guys did a great job!
    Some note if you are interested...
    1. The gaps in the pre-cut kit are fine and dont require reshaping. Glass does not have to fit together perfectly like a puzzle, as the lead fills in those gaps.
    2. There is definitely a huge downside to going too slowly when soldering, and that is heat cracks! Going too slowly or going over warm spots too many times can and most-likely will result in your glass cracking.
    3. In the future, after tacking the joints, you should "tin" the solder lines by applying a quick and thin line of solder, then go back and make your solder beads; Especially on the edges, as it makes application a lot easier there.
    Well done!

As long as you aren't pushing the glass along the edge, you should be fine. Even if you are pushing along the edge, as long as the glass broke properly with a 90 degree angle to the face it shouldn't be terribly sharp. Of course, I have permanently altered my fingerprints from all the cuts I've gotten from glass, and the calluses I have developed make it more difficult to cut my fingers now. I strongly recommend eye protection at all times when working with glass, because little slivers will do attempt to attack your eyes.

Seeing them in the breakfast space every day brings a smile to my face. 10/10 would recommend. P.s E&K love to see you guys continually trying new crafts always great content. Would love to see you guys try your hands at aluminum casting or other metal sculpture techniques I think you would like the freedom, but I doubt there's cheap vs expensive kits for something like that.

    Seeing you score and cut the glass reminded me of watching my mom make mosaics while I was growing up, you guys should try your hand at that! I remember helping her grout and clean the pieces off, it's so satisfying to wipe the top layer of grout away/excavate the art and seeing the piece come to life!

    There is a paint called Gallery Glass that looks like acrylic paint, but once dry it becomes transparent and looks like stained glass. I have often use it and would recommend it.

  • @sarahschuh7210
    @sarahschuh7210 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Recommendation for a future stained glass project. For cutting out pieces we print out the design and use special scissors designed for taking a strip down the middle. Then using a glue stick to attach it to the glass. The paper will often stay on the glass until after the grinding process to make sure you have the correct shape.

    I freaking love soldering, but I also love caulking, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ You can’t sand solder, but you can ABSOLUTELY remove it! There are multiple options, including solder suckers and using a very thin mesh to attract it away!

    • @jen3789
      @jen3789 ปีที่แล้ว

      Other stained glass artists in the comments have said that you have to be careful not to heat the glass too much (otherwise it might crack), so I wonder if using the solder removing options could be a little harder? For the mesh one especially, it definitely works best when the surface itself is heated (if you’re trying to remove all the solder). As an electrical engineer though solder removers have saved my life so many times lol. I can’t imagine assembling PCBs if I only had one chance to get it right.

  • @DerLiebeNugo
    @DerLiebeNugo ปีที่แล้ว +8

    for soldering: heat up the parts you want to connect with the iron, then add the solder. it should melt upon coming into contact with the copper in this case and spread out evenly. it doesn even necessarily have to touch the iron itself. at least thats how it works for electronics. it might be a bit harder with these relatively big bands of copper

    What a treat to stumble across your video today! I've been a professional artist (painter) for most of my life, but I'm also a stained glass artist (for my own 'old house' fun). Now I don't know if you're putting us on playing the novice, because for your "kitty" you've cut the glass with the flow in a way that compliments the design drawing. Either way, well done! One thing I'd add, that for anyone thinking of taking up stained glass, the tools aren't your greatest expense; once you have them, you'll have them for years (and one can buy a grinder used). The biggest ongoing cost will be the glass. By the way, is that not a DeWalt 734 planer I saw under your table?? I have a DW735 I've used to make doors. Definitely not the tool a amateur would have =)

  • @bobpowers9862
    @bobpowers9862 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    If you already have a Dremel tool, a carbide burr cutter *will* grind glass very handily. But I would purchase cut-resistant gloves when handling the glass pieces. But that'll save a lot of $$. Also, I would flux the copper foil between the pieces-- flux each piece as you finish putting the copper on, it won't dry out before you solder, but that lets the solder wick down between the pieces. Further, smaller diameter solder helps too. All in all, a nice how-to video.

  • @dawnchesbro4189
    @dawnchesbro4189 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a stained glass artist, the bead (the domed line of solder bonded to the copper foil) does give the piece stability. If you only "tin" (just a thin coat of solder over the copper foil) the copper foil without creating a nice, even bead, the more likely the piece will fold or sag over time. The glass is fighting gravity, and just tinning the connections means the glue on the tape is doing more work to hold the glass together. A proper solder bead, the domed structure of the solder is architecturally distributing the weight of the glass.

    I love when this happens. I started playing with stained glass just a few months ago, because of one of those Make Market kits. IMO it's far more technical than it is artistic, and each step is as important as every other step. Even how you arrange your pattern when scoring the glass can make things easier or harder for you later on. It's still super satisfying though. Would recommend, although the Make Market kit is kind of terrible. But, as far as I'm aware, no one else is making beginner kits, so it;s terrible, and the best, at the same time.
