Work Surface Tips for Stained Glass Projects

Video Transcript

"Hi. Today, we're talking about copper foiling and we're going to be making a butterfly, but I wanted to touch on your work space area. Specifically, I'd like to talk about a stationary table that you can work on as well as a portable one. Now what this consists of is this is homasote. And this what homasote is. It's actually an insulation that you can use. You would just take and buy yourself another piece of ply-wood that you would put underneath of this and screw them together and you'd have a very nice work surface, which I have, right here. Okay. You can see it's well used. These right here are the brackets that you would use as far as making a lead panel, or if your foiled piece is actually going to be square or rectangular. You would take these that you could also buy, pre-packaged. And you place them at a right angle. You only want to have two on to have your right angle. And you can adhere, you can put them on there with your tacks, okay? And this will be a work surface that you can work on if you're making a small piece. If you're going to be doing a larger piece, you want to have yourself a table like this. And all this consists of is just two by fours that you make the base by and your legs, and then you would place your ply-wood on top and your homasote on top of that. You're going to have yourself a nice long table. As big as you need to make. That wonderful project for your home or your office or for your friend or family member."
