I just want to take a moment to say, "What a WONDERFUL tutorial!!" This is by far, THE BEST stepping stone video I've seen. The quality of your work is outstanding! I've worked with stained glass for just a few years now & have always wanted to try a stepping stone (I've even had a mold for one for about a year, lol!). Your video makes me excited to try! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, your work is beautiful! Kristy😊
Loved your tutorial. It was a refresher for me as I do mine "exactly" the same way. I had to take a break 10yrs ago due to sickness & now stronger, so the itch to play with cement & glass is calling. After 10- 20yrs the stones & benches I made still look like they were recently made. By being patient & letting them cure properly with the strengthening steps makes all the difference. I sometimes added cement colorant that I found at stone landscape companies. Was very enjoyable...thank u!!!
I make these but in a slightly different technique. I lay my glass onto contact paper and when I'm done I put another piece on top. I burnish it down with a Credit card. then flip it over into the mold. I also use a Portland cement & sand mixture, which gives it a smooth finish. In the fencing wire I attach wire top and bottom so they can be hung. I love your designs. Do you sell on Etsy or do commissions. I post on Facebook marketplace in my area an sell locally. I learned how to do this after I purchased a DVD Glassy Ideas by Doug and Judy Wallace and have been creating ever since. Thanks for posting this great video.
When I made this I ended up with lots of little holes in the surface around the glass and on the sides. It also wasn't nearly as smooth as it appears to be in this picture. I did the thin layer of patch afterwards but even then the holes were visible. What is the trick to getting such a smooth surface? Is it all about shaking out the bubbles?
The stepping stone molds are made of ABS Plastic. Some of my bench molds are ABS Plastic, and some are fiberglass. When I first started I made some molds out of wood.

Wish I could follow but the camera is moving so much.

Hardware cloth is the wire. Also if you don’t have a palm sander, a reciprocating saw without blade works well too.
I'd love to have a supply list and places to get the needed items. What a great project!!
This is such beautiful work. A true work of art. I love the fish and Lilly pads. Your a pro. Amazing!!🐦🐠
This was the best Video that I have finally found that is clear and on point. Thank you. Great Job.
Really beautiful
Beautiful
Sorry the constant motion of the camera made me feel nauseous, I guess it was attached to you in some way?

Wow! ❤
May I ask where u get the molds
I would have watched this all the way through,but I feel very sea sick with the camera shake.
I see you made a bench. Where and how do you make the legs
Hexagon. Lovely though.
Preciosos
Can you make the background white instead of gray?
32:55 Where did you get the stain glass for your stepping stones? Did you cut it yourself? How much do you charge for your stones and bench top?
Beautiful!!! How do you cut your pieces in those shapes?
With a glass cutter, running pliers, grozier pliers, and a glass grinder.
@@beephead13 where do you get the glass i those great colors and thin glass
@@snowballvsjohnnynow9181 meltglass.com
where do you get your templates are patterns at? . Or do you make them yourself they're beautiful I don't think I could draw that well
I use various free patterns, make my own, purchase, or combine patterns.
Do you need to seal all sides and even the bottom. And how often do we need to reseal
can you tell us something about yoru cement mixer?..oops I see that you did ..
Enjoyed the tutorial, however you need better setup with camera, moves tooo much. Beautiful work! Ty
Please hold a Cameras still
When I made this I ended up with lots of little holes in the surface around the glass and on the sides. It also wasn't nearly as smooth as it appears to be in this picture. I did the thin layer of patch afterwards but even then the holes were visible. What is the trick to getting such a smooth surface? Is it all about shaking out the bubbles?
Yes. The vibration of the sander, or a vibration plate will bring the bubbles to the surface
What is the mold made out of?
The stepping stone molds are made of ABS Plastic. Some of my bench molds are ABS Plastic, and some are fiberglass. When I first started I made some molds out of wood.
Stained Glass? Pues parece mosaico invertido
can you actually walk on these
Yes.
