steel and glass terrarium

admin

Hi everyone, I figured this might be the best place to ask this question. I want to make one of these for a friend and I was wondering if anyone here has ever built something similar?  What would be the best way to bond the glass to steel?    Im figuring ill just get thin strips and custom bend each piece in a small break. Anyway I think they look cool, if nothing else this might give someone else a cool project idea Heres the link:  http://scoreandsolder.com/#1251349/quartzMikeYou miss 100% of the shots you never take - the great one

Reply:Those look very similar to what a friend of mine used to do with stained glass. He had a copper foil "tape" that he applied to each piece of glass and then soldered them together when he made lamps. You can probably find exactly what you need at a shop or site that sells stained glass supplies. Mrs Zap  or Wello can probably make some suggestions here as well since they do stained glass work..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:no steel there ..its stained glass but using clear glass, either foil tape and soldered over or lead channel that holds the glass and then soldered...Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most...I know just enough about everything to be dangerous......You cant cure stupid..only kill it...
