Stained Glass Basics (How To Copper Foil A Beginner Panel)

This video shows all the basics on this tiny stained glass panel. The Stained Glass Basics shown in this video are perfect for a beginner because the glass itself can be purchased in scrap-glass quantities, which is always much less vs. larger sheets. I hope you learned a thing or two about the stained glass craft. Leave any questions I'll be happy to answer them in the comments.

Inherited a bunch of glass and some olllld tools. Ive been itching to try it out. This was the most detailed tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much.

So far, I've watched 4 or 5 videos, but it's this video that gives me confidence. I'm so excited about starting my first stained glass project.

Re: Gloves. Don't use polymer based gloves; if the hot solder or iron gets on them they will melt and stick to your skin. Use leather and/or 100% cotton gloves. TIG welding gloves are good for this, because they are made to handle molten steel getting on them, yet are flexible enough to handle delicate work.

I used to use the chemical patina solution afterwards...gave my leaded joints kind of a blackish-bronze "Aged" appearance...nice work, I haven't worked in glass for well over thirty years, I i guess...

Dear Ed,

I see you cutting a pattern on a light table with a pattern under the glass plate, but how do you take into account the thickness of the lead core?
Kind regards, Frans

I don’t even know how to make stained glass yet, but I’ve soldered a ton doing plumbing, and I suggest that you use gloves while adding the foil and soldering as so the gloves keep oils from hands messing up the process

Where can I buy the copper foil conductor

[jeffforbes]

Great video! What advantage is there to using lead free solder? Thanks.

[daleanderson]

When you flip it over to solder the backside can the heat conduct through the foil and mess up the solder on the first side, or worse weaken the panel so it separates? Thanks so much!

[aislinggeraghty]

I was hoping it would be that much fun. I just hope I have the patience for it. Any recommendations for the full works in terms of supplies?

How do you know when you need to reapply flux? Great video! Super succinct and helpful.

[DavidMoscoeUni]

Great video, thanks! Just wondering if you'd have a link to the file for the tape alignment tool? Would very much like to 3d print one myself

[markn]

Do you have this pattern to print out and what are the dimensions of the overall patern and the individual sections inside.
I would like to try stained glass and this seems like a good beginner project.
Thanks.

Hello! Thank you for the video! What did you pour into your grinder?

Would your copper foil jig work with most shapes of glass?
