is there some way we can see all your videos in this series in order without searching all over looking for them? your videos are great, but it is almost impossible to find them in order so we can view the correct sequence.

@theripper7675 Who gives a shit what's on her sweater - instead of spending your time cutting up people's clothing (because its not a fashion show) LEARN HOW TO SPELL

She talks the talk but can't do the walk! She doesn’t know the ins-and-outs of correct soldering. Did you notice one of the pieces move?

If you want to fit all the pieces of a complex design together before the soldering, then lay them on a piece of wood and pin all the pieces in place – so that they cannot move. You can then spot solder and complete the final soldering without pieces moving. Then remove the pins and turn the whole thing over to complete the soldering of the reverse.

This is just a big mess ! I wouldn't be able to look at this myself, let alone share it with the rest of the internet...

thank you from the country of ennion......

sooooo so so wrong! If the glass doesn't fit, don't use it! Just track solder to start! Don't hold the iron on the glass to heat up the foil, unless you're trying to break the glass! The foil doesn't need to be heated anyway, just fluxed! And please don't number them, the more random the less people can follow them, thank god!

[Gnarbel]

I wish you'd number these tutorials, they're great don't get me wrong, but getting the order right, and beinga ble to backtrack and look at one specific tutorial again is really a mess... : /

I was always told if you cant say anything nice....



[kayte22]

like, but i suggest getting to what you're doing and not repeating yourself. the first minute in a half you said the same thing twice.

[MsRockUSA]

You have no idea what you are doing. I love doing stained glass and your not doing any of it right...

1.) When cutting you do not cut off the glass because it may chip. Cut to the end but not all the way,

2.) If your pieces do not fit take a couple seconds to cut another piece...

3.) When soldering you do not touch the solder to the piece not unless it will stick to the piece and that's unprofessional.

4.) Get a shirt that fits...
