We do our own leaded and stained glass.
My wife and I developed an interest in the last couple of years, and especially the trend calling for more custom doors, and cabinet doors, and windows with leaded panels, we decided to do our own and compliment some of my woodwork. It works out kind of nice because now it allows my wife to join in and enjoy some of the work I do, and meet some nice folks along the way. We set up a small studio and brought in all the necessary equipment to do some pretty elaborate, or simple glass design. Glass cutting saws, grinders, lead came, and a bunch of hours..... well, here are some examples of our work

It always doesn't stay this neat, but its a nice set up and can get pretty darn busy in a hurry

^^^^

Here's a couple of designs we toyed with

^^^^^

Like I said....it does get kind of busy sometimes

Denise is putting the solder on the joints.

here's a closer look, and you can distinguish the bevel squares. The large center one is "chipped glass" design

This is one of two panels for the exterior door I made for that job shown on "phase 2"

The glass Is clear, and the squares are beveled glass

(above) ready for solder

Another panel in the making. These have little circles being cut out on the upper right picture. The glass is a yellow smoke. On the upper right, my wife is putting in the cement to set the glass, and make it more rigid. 3 more to go, as these doors are part of an entertainment unit

Ta dah......... what a touch of elegance leaded glass brings to furniture.

Nice job Honey!

Thought we'd start on a rose for later use either in an oval door panel, or radius window. This color is awsome in real life. The glass has streaks of lighter shades making the pedals seem almost real

Making the window casework for a customer

Here's a radius top unit over a paladium window I'm doing

It will add so much color and warmth to a foyer. It will lay on top of the exiting glass and the design I did will hide most of the mutton grill work on the existing unit. Can't wait to have it together and see the natural light come through

finally getting around to doing the remaining two doors on our entertainment unit. Here Denise is grinding the glass for a perfect fit

Glass being fit, and lead cut to size for solder
