Why Would Anyone Want To Make Stained Glass??
**UPDATE** The website is almost ready. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter at the right FREE of charge to learn firsthand the tips and techniques of building stained glass, where to get tools cheap, everything you'll need to start, and all the other insider items that experienced Stained Glass experts know!!!
So Randy and I were talking recently and I wondered why he ever wanted to start doing stained glass creation and what it took in a simple outline to get rolling.
He is a very creative and talented guy, but I never thought stained glass would be something he'd be interested in - he's kind of like the Marlboro Man.
So here is what he had to say - read closely b/c you will see how making stained glass could benefit you...
1. I love and wanted to work with my hands
2. It provided a wonderful form of relaxation
3. It also gave my brain some exercise as a form of creativity
4. The beginning is an investment but after the main purchases - its up
to you as to how much money you want to spend on a project.
The grinder is the most expensive- rest of tools are small dollars - we'll show you where to find great deals on these items.
5. Hobby to career- as he gets older - you can make it a fun hobby or even turn it into a neat little business.
6. It takes little room- Randy built a large table with shelves to hold the
glass
and tools and grinder- 1 piece of smooth glass to help in the cutting
of
glass- the other side of the table to layout the design.
7. Beginning is fairly easy if you start with the basics and work up to the more
complex
cuts with practice - you'll see improvement with each piece designed and
completed.
8. It gave me lots of pride in what I produced- try all types of designs- no limitations what
you
can create. Some people produce designs from books, some people create
their own designs from regular pictures, or from their own
imagination. There are no
no limitations.
9. It's fun to see the process of each piece of glass cut and added to the
picture-
You see the design come to life
10. I enjoy making gifts for family and friends- becoming treasures to keep-
never
go down in value. I can relate. He made a balloon for our son before he was born and it is a neat addition to his room. Very personal - made my wife cry a little.
11. Randy likes to do different finishes to complete the picture-
either
making a frame to stand or hang or put in a window.
uses different color on the sauter - black, gold, silver. It all comes back
to creativity and what your imagination can provide.
That is just a start, but it offers an outline as to why Randy started stained glass. It's amazing to see his work and how he goes from zero to something spectacular.
We will soon be displaying some of his creations for you to view so you know that he is not just some guy that is feeding you a line of bull.
There is much more to come and be sure to sign up for our newsletter to get even more indepth tips and techniques.
See you soon stained glass enthusiasts,
