Can you get lead poisoning from doing lead and glass

Unfortunately the cheapest Inland grinder is now 180 before the discount.... so it's definitely not in my budget currently, so thankyou for reviewing an alternative

I think you should be able to sell this for $200 - $225. It looks great. I just recently undersold a piece that I made and it was really depressing. So don’t undersell yourself!

Good video and explanation of costs. I think most times we make things we don't really have a good breakdown in our heads, just a rough estimate. Initially $200 seemed high but when you understand the time, materials and process, it seems reasonable. I don't have a good suggestion on price, I think it could also depend on the customer who is buying but am very interested to see what you will get for it. Good luck! I have seen stuff sell for cheaper but a lot less quality, you really do put the time in to make it close to perfect.

hi, i'm interested in your kit... but i live internationally.... have you been able to work that out since posting this vid?

Looks great. Will be interested to see next video which I know is already out. Maybe in your next piece, do some decorative soldering? That could have been nice in this one as well, you do mention it. Do you ever find that sometimes after soldering the foil lifts slightly on the ends, meaning it lifts ever so slightly from the glass? Don't know if improper adhesion or too much heat may cause that. Have seen it in other people's work as well. Anyway, thanks for recording and sticking with it. You do really go through much effort to make it look great and it does pay off in the end. See you on the next video!!

INCREDIBLE WORK!!! BRAVO!

Thanks so much for your videos. I’m new to stained glass & I find your videos very informative & interesting. Great piece!

$175-200 is solid price. Biggest problem I find, as I sell at craft fairs and such, most lay people have No Idea how much effort actually goes into these creations. Don’t undersell yourself or your creations.

In my country (Lithuania) without taxes, I can do for 40-45$ ,but no one will buy it and for such a price.

IMHO, you should be looking at prices on Etsy and/or Ebay, or other sites to see what the market will bear (in price). The thing about business is that you need to make a profit. If doing that starts with a cost of $157 but no one would buy it at that price... Being artistically inclined, and knowing and understanding the artist's "way", I'd be willing to pay the price, whatever it is. The consumer should be thinking that they are supporting a local (or not) artist, so the price involves more than value of the piece. It's not mass-produced and each piece is unique, made with care at each step. Sorry I'm not that helpful when it comes to the price, but I really enjoy seeing the process in motion. Great job!

Yes I could make it myself for the less than $40 in supplies, but the investment of time, space, tools, etc. Well worth 30 to 40 per hour.

$200 is a good number and nothing less! If you go with bidding I recommend a reserve price of $200 and see where it goes 😉

That is beautiful. I underestimated the quality of your project from the initial photo when posted and I gave a low price of selling from $60 to $125. Now that I’ve seen the plant holder closer in this video, I’d say higher…$150 to $250.

What do you think of the numbers? What’s a good price for it?? Lmk 👍

It is obvious that you are not a professional. First, do you use a Toyo glass cutter? Second, a professional could cut that simple easy to cut glass in 1/2 day without problem. You did not include the overhead. You made no money. You could not be in business. I am not knocking you as you do not have in the time yet. It is a warning to those with delusions in their minds. In 1988 I had to compete against the Chinese paying $.33/hr. when I was paying $12/hr. Try that on window makers. Almost no one cuts the intricate deep inside cuts that Tiffany did along with plating and other complicated techniques such as 3-D windows as I have done. If you cannot charge what it takes to be in business and fast enough to compete do not go into that business as it is very labor intensive. Listen to the guy who works at an old time shop and what they charge just for simple clear windows, much less out of really expensive glass as I normally use. You might not know it but you are using basically inexpensive glass. If that paint is not fired it will come off also. Keep improving your skills. Two tricks: use a Toyo pistol grip glass cutter and take out the spring, turn the cutter around so that the screw holds the cutter to the pistol grip so it cannot move by turning it 180 degrees. This way you can totally control the cutter for fine cuts. Stock there is no control really. Nothing cuts glass like a Toyo. I could get over 30,000 pieces on a single cutter in my personally designed glass cutting machine. Second, throw out your trimming plyers and use crescent wrenches. I use large to the smallest. The reason is with plyers you cannot stop yourself from squeezing the glass to break it. Do that too many times with drapery and/or Uroboros glass and watch your money disappear. The crescent wrenches allow you to adjust for the thickness and to apply the proper pressure at the score line without squeezing the glass and making it break into pieces instead of at the line. This is especially true on inside cuts.

I think i would have put two jump rings, for strength, and put them on either side at seams so less chance of foil pulling off. Just my opinion. Lovely piece either way.

The last time you made this, you soldered the "cups" together, then attached them to the piece. I think the way you're doing it now is different, and a little more difficult. Still watching... Looking forward to your next video with time and material break-out.

What is the metal frame made out of? Didn’t see this in the tool list. Great video!

I like the overhead picture also can you zoom in a little on it?

IMO I think this project is not as long as the last one. Smoother 😊

I would rather see the inner screen for the larger picture cause I can't really see what your doing

Guess I was way off on my time estimate 😂 We’re four hours into this thing now 😅

How do you cut your pattern to allow for foil. I cut my patterns so no black lines are showing and or with shears. They fit well to the base pattern but when I foil the pieces I still have gaps!! What am I doing wrong and what do I do to make the foiled pieces fit like yours???

Are you going to measure the length of foil and/or solder used to include in your calculation? I don't think you mentioned it yet in the process.

Looking good, am interested to see how long it will take for the whole shabang. The fids no longer have that notch in them that yours has which seems to very useful, they must have changed the design. Am looking forward to the next episode!

My biggest problem is definitely copper foil. I can’t seem to find a consistent source of new foil. They’re almost always old and not sticking 😢

It’s like quilting with glass! I don’t need another hobby 😅🤫😂

I have to say you are not happy doing stained glass you continually come across as very negative in your videos

I really enjoy watching you work. I have learned so much. Thank you.

I use a popsicle stick to secure my foil.

This video was ridiculously helpful! I was standing in the harbor freight aisle trying to decide between the two for stained glass and this video came in clutch. Thank you!

I'm still watching your vid, but I think you should add "waste" time, like you need to add waste glass for a project. The pressure of time takes the joy out of being creative and loving the process. Besides, the more you do it, the faster you'll become. I don't think glass selection should ever be part of the price. If you had the customer choose the glass, you definitely wouldn't charge them to stand there and look for the colors they wanted. This is a good video to learn what it takes to put your toe in the water of fabrication for profit. People will be very surprised. I know I was when I spoke with several stained glass artists about it. Keep up the great content!

Belt sander on 60 grit get to those impossible runs bro

I am new to stain glass. After copper foiling and shouldering, with a little pressure, my pieces get separated. What is the reason?

You have that red toolbox/drawers in the background. What are those called?

We also don't have airplants here in ohio. Succulents are popular though, can you come up with a Succulent planter of some sort ?

People in my area don't want to pay much for anything

You fixed the crack though

Do you have a preferred millimeter size for the cable chain? Do you always use stainless steel? The link you shared has different sizes.

It’s still a beautiful piece of art. You worked your A$$ off on this one. If it was me…..that sucker would be up against the wall…..you are so patient. I recommend just moving on from this 😉
