God. Watching this video back, now years later, I am SO distracted from the reflection of my septum ring. I am so sorry if that shine is super distracting for you too, I had no idea. Its such a bummer with such an important and informational video. Maybe I will re film it one day. SORRY GUYS!!!
Lol, didn't even notice, but the info is what I am focusing on....and appreciating!!
I've watched this video a couple times now and never noticed it at all. I too was just very focused on the amazing lessons I've learned through your videos. You are so thorough and answer all my questions almost as fast as I've wondered them. Lol. Thank you for doing you and sharing your knowledge.♥
Thank you so much Paul. 🙏🖤 So happy to help.
I'm 60+ years old so you know where this is coming from. The septum ring was lost in the education. Very well done. There is nothing worse than hearing "umm" and "like" and "it's like" over and over again, as is the case in so many of these videos. That wasn't present in yours. It was clear that you knew what you wanted to say to get your point across, and you did. I learned more from your video than from over a dozen others, in less time. Brava!
Thank you so much 🙏🖤 Im so glad you felt like you learned alot.
You are a fabulous teacher! I've learned more in this 45 minutes than I did in 2 "professional" classes and hours on TH-cam. I cannot thank you enough.
🙏🙏 thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful, here if you have any questions. (Sorry to hear about your not so helpful classes!!)
I agree! This is such a comprehensive breakdown video
I agree! This is such a comprehensive breakdown video
🙏🙏🖤🖤
I was JUST about to say that myself! I took several “professional” classes and while the teacher is a very nice lady, she wasn’t the best teacher. She taught me to hold my glass at an angle 📐 when I’m beading edges so the extra runs off all over the table! Terrible edges with hardly any beading. Thank you for this tutorial! Super helpful! I appreciate you for producing this type of content. 😌
I can’t believe how helpful this was. You literally answered every single one of the questions and concerns I had about soldering for stained glass in one video. Incredible! Thank you for taking the time and energy to put this together, it was so well done!
Awesome!! Im so glad it was so helpful, thank you for watching!
I second that, I wasted an hour watching crap videos before finding this one, since I haven't done this in over 15 years and wanted a refresher before I dove back in lol

I have Epilepsy and it causes me to have cognitive difficulties and I often have problems now understanding directions (all those years of college… just gone). But you are so thorough, and you explain things so wonderfully that even I can understand. It’s so refreshing! These videos usually leave me feeling frustrated because they go too fast and don’t take into consideration that some of us are *completely* new at this and just starting and don’t even know the basics. You explain everything from the ground up and even give other options in case people prefer other methods… but I especially appreciate that you let me know what I absolutely *have* to have and what is optional - this is really a big deal when you’re just starting out and don’t have anything so have to start from scratch, and being on disability leaves me with an extremely limited income so I really can’t afford to just go out and buy everything… especially if it’s not completely necessary. You’ve basically opened up a whole new area of creative expression for me and done it in such a way I actually feel I can do it as well. ***THANK YOU SO MUCH **
I wish i saw this comment sooner! I hope you went on with your glass journey and are feeling full of confidence and knowledge now! So glad you found this video helpful, thank you. 🖤🙏🏻
Been a certified welder for 20 years so this isn't a foreign and unfamiliar process to me. I have always adored stained glass; I really love the sun catcher/panel or corner types that can be moved to different places versus actual windows.
My only child turned 18 last September. In this (almost) year i have ventured into sewing, quilting, calligraphy, antique steamer trunk restoration, paper quilling, one stroke painting, latch hook, needle felting, embroidery, cross stitch, crochet, woodburning, metal engraving, making hair bows, wreaths, decoupage, book binding, plaster crafts, floral arrangement...just to name a few...and I'm over it all.
Stained glass and my lifelong dream of learning and trying glass blowing is all I got left that interests me! Thanks for the very informative video and for actually just keeping it real. Too many people make videos allegedly to share info and knowledge but end up on an ego detour wasting everyone's time basically just going over their own supreme skills without explanation! 🤣
If I may make a couple suggestions: In terms of the question you've been asked about the soldering iron cooling off too much when you rub it on the sponge, this is a real thing, and very frustrating. It's caused by weaker irons (aka, bought at Hobby Lobby, like all Hobby Lobby tools). As far as the CJ's Flux remover, this serves a much more important purpose than just removing the residue (which as you said, it does about as well as dish soap). It also contains an oxidation remover, which means you can skip any steps for sanding or polishing the solder lines in order to achieve best effect (especially with the gold patina). Of course if you patina right away, this is less of an issue, but if you had to let it sit for a few days beforehand it can make a huge difference.
Absolutely invaluable, clear, concise and honest answers to so many questions I’ve had as a beginner. Keep up the good work. 🎉
Appreciate you. Thank you. 🖤🙏🏻
I was just looking for tips on soldering when I found this. Good info and I had no idea soldering stained-glass was a thing. Nice to see. And what's really amazing is how good you are at working with your hands with nails that long. 😂❤ OH! Also, that 80's music in the background really took me back. So some nostalgia as well.
It's amazing you can work with your nails so long. Your video is right to the point. Great suggestions. Great soldering too!! Helpful to those beginners and experienced too !
Thank you so much!
I have been doing stained glass for years and taken many classes. I learned more today about soldering than all the classes combined. Great job.
Aw that's amazing! Im so glad, thank you for watching!!!
Wow, this was so helpful. I’m new to stained glass work and feel more confident in my future projects. Thanks!
Awesome! I am so glad to hear that!! You are so welcome, thank you for watching!!
🤯 after stressing out over my solder lines for hours I watch you to calm down so I know it’s possible 🤣😂 your amazing!!!
I 100% agree with the other comments. This is the best tutorial I have found after many hours of searching. Very clear explanation for everything
🙏🏻🖤🙏🏻🖤
im just getting into this and finally got all my supplies at home. so happy i found ur channel bc i think ur the best!
Thank you so much! Glad to have you and welcome to the glass community!
I’ve watched this video at least 3 times start to finish and I’ve taken extensive notes. Great content!!! I can’t wait to get started with my first project when my supplies arrive tomorrow!! Thanks Makenzie!!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for watching and welcome to stained glass!!!
I’m just diving into this and really enjoyed your video! Thank you for taking the time to break it all down.
This was so so helpful, thank you Makenzie!!
I can't believe how helpful this was to me just starting. Thank you so much for the great job on the video.
Glad it was helpful! Your so welcome!!
Thank you for posting this it is a pleasure to learn from someone who has taken the time to break down everything needed to produce a excellent piece of art but explains it in a way that that is easy to understand for total beginners. You rock girl!
Appreciate you. 🙏🖤 Thank you.
Thanks Makenzie love your videos and thanks for sharing you techniques. I have been doing stained glass for a long time but its always helpful to watch and learn new things.😊
Thank you Makenzie for your great videos. Your kind and patient nature shines through as you teach and give encouragement.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🖤 so sweet 😩🖤
This is an amazing video. SO detailed in every single step that you make.
I have been gathering supplies to get started in making stained glass art. I cannot wait to get started. Videos like this one make me feel like I may actually be able to do this art form.
Thank you for taking the time to be so detailed in all your demonstrations!
Your so very welcome! You can do it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial. Your truly a blessing for beginners.
Your so welcome!!! Thank you for watching!!
You are a great teacher. I took a 6 week class 20 years ago and thought I should brush up before trying it again after so long. TH-cam is handy for that. You explained everything perfectly and I picked up some good tips too. Thanks for all your videos!
Thank you so much for such a fantastic well put together lesson!! The best I've seen!
Best tutorial I've had the pleasure of watching! You are thorough and articulate when you teach. Everything made sense! Excited to start my soldering crafts. Thank you!
Thank you!!!
You do an EXCELLENT job of explaining and showing us how to perfect our skills! Thank y♡u!
Thank you so much! Im so glad your learning and enjoying my videos!!!
Thanks for the great tips on beading the edges! I’ve don’t a few small pieces, but the edges were really frustrating me. This will really help with my next piece!
Absolutely the most informative video ever!!!!! thank you sooo much for posting this. I've learned more in this video than the hours and hours of other videos. You are an amazing teacher and artist!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🖤🙏🏻 Im go glad it was helpful!!
I have gone to several classes but have learned tons more from you because you don’t say “use this”. You tell us WHY. I am a real Why girl! Thank you!
Me too Jackie! I find learning why is a whole lot easier then being told what to do!
Hi Mackenzie, This is the best soldering tutorial I have ever seen!! Thank you so much for your clear explanations and for sharing your knowledge so generously! Ann in England x
Absolutely my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
I inherited stained glass stuff and the learning curve is intense, thank you SO much for this video!
Thank YOU for watching! Welcome to stained glass!
What an amazing resource this video is! Thanks for putting this out and emphasizing Patience! ❤ ❤ your work!
I have taken stained glass classes and been making stained glass for years. I can't believe how much I learn from Makenzie's videos. I just recently discovered her and am so glad I did!
Thank you so much!!! Im so glad you still learned something! Thank you for watching!
Same here.....have learnt so much extra
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!! Always so informative and helpful 🥺♥️ ty!!!
Of course!! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have the very last of the stuff I need getting delivered today (watching Amazon delivery like a deranged stalker) and your videos have given me a lot of confidence going forward. 💜
Awesome!!! That's so exciting, I would be waiting at my mailbox too! 😂😂 Welcome to stained glass and remember to just be patient with yourself!!
I am a super new beginner (in the last 2 months) and you have officially become my go-to source! I can't thank you enough- YOU ARE AMAZING!!! And much appreciated
I'm so happy to help Tracy!! Thank you 🙏🙏
Great video! Thank you for such straightforward instruction.
I just want to let you know how fabulous you are. I'm new to glassing and your tutorials and instructions are so good and on the money. Wheen I ask a question in the group I'm in I get several different answers and everyone is speculating. Thank you for being my point of contact for reliable instruction. God has blessed you with a beautiful gift.
Thank you. 🙏🏻🖤 So so kind.
I'm so thankful for your videos! Girl you're fricking awesome!
THANK YOU!!!! Im so glad your enjoying them!!! 🖤🖤
@@MakenzieHallie ❤❤
Thank you, I learned so much and I have been doing stained glass pieces on and off for couple of years. Thanks for emphasizing making hold for jump rings stronger, with solder bead down the seam nearby. Thanks for showing me I can bead a piece on edge with dots. I have had too many tears trying to hold the solder spool, and soldering iron, and propping up the piece on edge to get solder on it, then too much soldering spilling over the edge on either side. Your technique is so much better and DOABLE! thanks a million, Mahalo!
Awesome! So glad this video was helpful!! And totally, before I figured this way out, it could be a frustrating experience. 😂
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!!
I find her tutorials extremely well presented, easy to understand, and in a logical order. These videos were a great find among many. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Hey McKenzie, I’m just finishing my first stained glass project after watching so many of your videos. I just love how you rock your feminine energy while owning your masculine side mastering everything tool! I watched many beginners videos but you caught my attention for your detailed honest teaching. I’ve found your advice to be true and valuable. That said; youve added your nails as a tool and so I had so much fun rocking some nails myself to do glass. They’re fun and useful!
Thank you so much my friend! What a wonderful comment and compliment. Im so glad you enjoyed the video, im so sorry i missed your comment for this long! 🖤🙏🏻
You are a great teacher! Great video!
Thank you so much 🙏 means the world 🖤
Wonderful video on soldering technique. I learned so much about soldering from your video. Thank you so much!
I've watched soooo many videos on soldering and yours are by far the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience 😊
Thank you so much!
Omg thank you this is just what I needed!
Your so welcome!! Thank you for watching!!
This is an excellent tutorial. I have learned more in this tutorial than the six weeks of classes I attended.
Love this tutorial. Right to the point and so very informative!
Oh jeez, well I'm so glad your learning so much here but sorry about the uninformative classes!!! Sometimes I think people just concentrate on the wrong things when teaching this art! Thank you for watching!!!
This tutorial was so helpful! I was getting frustrated with soldering but now I have so many tips to make it easier. Thank you Makenzie :)
Happy to help man!!
Makenzie, you are a great teacher. Love your videos, have been learning a lot. Taking this back up after 19 years of being in a box and you have already taught me how to cut my glass easier without so much waste with your video. Now I need to try this one out, could never get a nice bead on my projects. This will really help! Thank you!
Aw im so glad! Thats awesome!! Sometimes its easier to learn mutliple ways vs being taught 1 persons way only, you know? Goodluck with the new beading, you've got this!! Thank you for watching!
I was probably 5 years old when my Daddy taught me to solder. Lol !!!!! It was to keep the lights on though. Life skills ... He was awesome.
Thats awesome, soldering is definitely good to know!
And that's the stuff we're still proud of daily, that we're the sort of women who get it done without help smiling the whole time and remembering good memories
This is definitely the best solder tutorial I've seen yet! I've been struggling with getting a good bead and I think I just need to get a better iron. I got one of the cheapo Amazon ones and even though it seems tinned enough, it just doesn't transfer the heat well enough and it's a super pain in the ass. I'll probably end up getting the Hakko since everyone seems to love it.
Thank you so much! And absolutely, the iron will make all the difference in the world! And the 601 is cheap, but quality and will last a long time if taken care of! Just keep practicing and you'll get it with that new iron!!!
I just purchased the Weller 100. Am I going to be sorry? Also, what width tip do you use?
Great information, I'm fairly experienced but still learned a lot. You're fantastic at explaining the what and why which helps me retain the information. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Just recently discovered your vids and have been binge watching every one! Excellent presentation and so helpful! You've inspired this old dude to pick up the hobby again after many years. I can't thank you enough!
Awesome!! Im so glad your feeling re inspired and ready for more glass! Welcome back and thank you for watching!
You have the best tutorials I could watch them all day!
Aw thank you so much! Im so glad your enjoying them, thank you for watching!!!!
That tutorial was absolutely fabulous thank you so much 🤗
Thank you so much!!
@@MakenzieHallie I finally got all my supplies and studio set up and I pretty much studied by watching your vids on repeat lol and I swear it made my first few pieces go so well!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Awesome!!! Im so glad to hear that!!! I felt so lost when I first started, so I'm glad I helped you feel more ready!!! Thank you so much!! 🖤
Your nails are the stained glass hack of a lifetime. -someone who actually knows nothing about stained glass
Also, I love your videos. Thank you for making them.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!!! And they are the best little tools to have on all my finger tips!! Lol!
Thank you so much for all of the info. So happy you're here!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I’m really new to this. You are very thorough in explaining what to do! I feel confidant in my new endeavor thanks to you!❤️
Happy to help!! ♡♡♡
I'm not one to usually comment, but I've got to say this video was so comprehensive and detailed without being repetitive. I feel like I actually learned and retained something. I subscribed, can't wait to watch more of your videos.🖤
Thank you so much Jordan! So glad your enjoying and feeling like your learning something! Welcome! And thank you for watching!
beautiful solder lines, that is my all time problem. never getting them perfect
You'll get it, just keep practicing!
Thanks for the info! I dig your style and the way that you take the time to explain things really helps. Way cool!
Awesome!! Im so glad its helpful!! Thank you for watching!!!

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for this video. I love the way you teach and work.
Thank you for explaining this I’ve had trouble with my irons and now know why,,! You are a generous and heartfelt teacher. I appreciate your help and look forward to new projects, thanks again from Australia xx
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I am loving your videos! Learning a lot!!
Thank you so much! This was very informational and you showed it really well so it was easy to see and understand
Love your videos, very informative and helpful! Thank you!
This was the BEST video by FAR, that I have watched to help me get better at soldering!! This is what I have been searching for. to help me solder edges on my beveled glass and now has me interested in stained glass too. I have been so discouraged by trying to learn to solder, but know it is something I really want to do. I can't wait to learn more...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!
Hi, First, wonderful video! Second, I needed a refresher course in soldering, it's been many moons since I worked with it and lo and behold you showed up on my feed! You presented perfectly. I learned that I didn't forget alot. 😊 But would never attempt it without the refresher. Easy to follow and understand. Thank-you so much!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills 😭. I’m doing my first piece and I couldn’t have done it without you ❤️
Your so welcome!!! Thank you for watching!

You are a fabulous teacher!! I was able to follow everything and take notes with ease! I appreciate you more than you know
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you so much! 🖤
I love I have finally found someone who does craft tutorials who is not in floral print with crosses in the back ground of their color coordinated overly girlie craft rooms!
Lmfao STOP 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dead.
Yea no not my eerily over curated "perfect" girly vibe.
Oh my gosh, I love your tutorial here. Trying to get back into stained glass, and needed refresher info. (It’s only been 40 years!) You do a great job of covering things and teaching! I’ll be checking out more videos.😁
Awesome!! Welcome back! Please do and thank you for watching!!!
Thank you very much Makenzie!!! You are awesome!!!
Thank YOU so much for watching!
Thanks you are one the best that i have seen so far on soldering. I learned a lot. In my area there is no one to teach this craft i am looking forward to watching and learning more. hope you have one on glass cutting. i suck at it. i know practice makes perfect. you are a blessing thanks
I've been doing stained glass since 1985 and this video was filled with info that's certainly will make my technique better! Thanks Makenzie, for all your research.
Thank you so so much, makes my day to hear that. I'm so glad you even as a seasoned pro, felt like you learned something from my video. Means the world!
Your videos are so helpful! You explain everything clearly and you have everything filmed perfectly with great close ups and perfect instruction. I have learned so much - thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful!

Happy to help!!
Makenenzie Thank you for some great pointers and reassuring information on all the choices that are out there.
Happy to help!! 🖤
Wonderful thank you for such a thorough video! I can't wait for the day that I manage to get such consistently clean, shiny solder lines. 💕
It will come!! Just keep practicing and it will happen!!!
I want to thank you for such explicit no nonsense instructions…I haven’t done foiling since before you were born. You’ve made it easy for me to hop back in with new and improved tools! Thank you!
