full process - WE THE PEOPLE - stained glass window

I dreamed up, drew, designed, and built this stained glass window and filmed the whole process. I hope you enjoy, hopefully it inspires you or helps you relax or adds some beauty to your life and to the world.

I'm happy to answer any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.

It's worthwhile to note that in the section where I assemble the window, it looks like every piece just fits in perfect on the first try. That's hardly the case; fitting every single piece, even when it's cut really well, is a long loop of fitting and marking and grinding multiple times. It's a boring and tedious process that I omitted, but I'll demonstrate it in future videos for anyone interested.

The music you hear in the video is by Pogo and used with permission:
"Patacake" from Cosmoluxe and "The Trouble" from Kindred Shadow.
He's on youtube ‪@PogoMusic‬ and bandcamp @pogomix. Check him out.

I used some sound effects that are free to download and royalty free from pixabay.com.
