wow!!! Best Stainglass video I have ever seen! I have been doing Stangl for 20 years. This video has been extremely helpful and inspiring. So many videos are unclear… They don't show you exactly how to do a particular technique.… But you are an excellent teacher! Thank you so much. I've never subscribed to any YouTube channel before except this one because I already know what I'm going to get. Thank you, thank you thank you! I hope I get to meet you one day!

I had a stained glass business for nearly 45 years. Working with lead fumes all around me for such a long time began to take a toll on me. Now is suffer some neurological issues from the lead and my fine motor skills are gone in my left hand. Despite having good ventilation in my shop for all those years, one can not escape the negative impacts of the lead. Then there will be those to tout lead free solder. But, I found that stuff to be garbage and never used it when if first came out. Now, I am retired and watching your video rekindled the desire to start scoring glass again. However, I best leave things alone at this juncture of my life since I don't want to make things worse.

That is such a cute kite, I am just getting back to stained glass after a 21 years, Thanks you for the tips. I enjoyed watching this.

[KarenCrockenburg]

I soldered in my class today, and your explanation and techniques make so much more sense than how teacher did it. Thank you!

[angelapierred]

You are a great teacher! Thank you. I think I can finally solder. I was doing it completely wrong.

[Brandy]

This is a FANTASTIC video. Thank you very much for taking the time to share so much great knowledge. Your two methods of soldering will surely help me. Thanks again!

Re ventilation. I have an exhaust fan built into a box the height of the wall cavity that contains the window (don't know the technical words sorry), has a foam seal around the box, and it sits on the window sill. I work with epoxy and had noticed that while the room I work in is ventilated well, I could smell fumes at the other end of the house, even with closing the room door. Since putting the exhaust fan at one window it pulls the air from the room out that window, so airflow comes from inside the house to out that window. Clears the fumes from the room and prevents them entering the rest of the house.

This is great to learn your steps ... I've learned more than I know from 3.5 years of lessons in a stained glass studio. Many thanks. All the best.
