Whoa! That is a legitimately fascinating video, thanks again for sharing. "We Can Do It" is such a great image too.
Youtube shorts might net you a little extra revenue if you have a bunch of these clips, btw, if you aren't way ahead of me, haha, i just learned about shorts.
How long did it take you to develop such a steady hand for the solder?
So there's no glue and the metal doesn't fuse into the glass, but the overhang of the solder once it's cooled acts as a picture frame for each shard and then a complete frame for the whole piece? That's amazing.
And you definitely did great work on the smooth part of the soldering, all of those front-facing lines look very even and smooth.
Ha, easy to bump projects, i got all excited about these t-shirt designs but after four designs i started up a podcast and got super distracted throwing myself into the episodes. It's great to feel that inspiration though when you like a project so much you can be reasonably assured it'll develop into something you're proud of.
Well, I'm excited to see the new piece, thanks for sharing all this information with me, I would have no idea how something like this worked otherwise.
Are there special glass paints to use for the colors?
oh wow and it's a time-lapse, you legend!
that definitely gives me a better idea of how the process goes, thanks a lot for sharing, that was very cool to see.
so that's the copper foil at the end and then do you use a blow torch or something to melt all the pieces together?
that must be so much fun for you also, do you have a lot of projects going on at the same time or do you tend to focus on one at a time?
Ha, that's awesome, thanks for explaining. Yea, I'll definitely check out the video when it goes up, sounds like a nail-biting, rewarding process.
kick their teeth in
Very cool, it came out great.
I coincidentally looked up glass cutting recently and found videos of people cutting window panes by scoring a line and then smacking the scored section off. Is that what you do for cutting glass curves also? Your work looks too technically precise for the smacking method I saw.
wow, that's very cool. so you have to cut each piece of glass for each finger bone like that?
absolutely, you'll be good.
I could barely count to ten and knew how to say pho, and still enjoyed my entire trip and made friends, so you'll be fine.
haha me too, i thought it was pretty funny there.
Very well.
I spoke nearly no Vietnamese and bikepacked across rural northern Vietnam for 3 months after buying my bicycle in Hanoi.
People in the city can speak some English, but even if they can't they're so earnestly helpful that I was able to easily buy clothes, bicycle repair items, get my bicycle repaired, buy food everyday(pho lyfe) be invited to tea and then a family feast, take shelter from a rainstorm, the stories of their generosity go on.
It's definitely a good country to visit.
The mountains are pretty magical, and every single person was extremely helpful and gracious, either in the city or way out in the tiny mountain villages
if anyone has any questions about getting out of the country, ask away.
I'm a long-term traveler.
