Great footage. I often wonder what size space you need to refurbish the big leaded lights windows for churches. Do you not worry how they will be transported back to the church for fitting? Don't they often break in transit, or do churches allow you to use their space to do full big window repairs? I am a glass cutter, and i use a big cutting bench at work. But transporting leaded lights must be awkward the bigger they are? Also, i can free hand cut a hole 80mm at the smallest, and also to cut a right angle out of glass, is ok if you slowly put a small curve in the corner, and tap on the curve itself, not the run to it. 😉

Good tip! Actually if you box glass up for transit, it's not a problem. Even the biggest window is made up in small sections so you're not transporting panels bigger than 1m sq.

Excellent tutorial, thank you. Is the heart always 2mm irrespective of the came width?

@SophiesStainedGlass Ай бұрын

Is usually measures slightly less but you treat it all as having a 2mm heart.

Thank you for the video, my first panel will be a simple grid of squares - could I ask should I run long pieces of lead across the grid with shorter bridge pieces running up and down OR would you suggest using the short pieces both horizontally and vertically? Thank you Sophie

Sophie: why h-came on the border instead of u, being an outside border? what is the benefit? thank you from the Pacific Northwest.

@SophiesStainedGlass 2 жыл бұрын

Well, for a decorative piece, u lead would be absolutely fine but as I only do architectural work(unless I'm making a video) I use h as standard and don't generally keep u or c in. H is necessary for installation as you can trim the outside flanges for a good fit.

Hmm, but don't people use "U" cames (not "H" cames) for the edges?

@SophiesStainedGlass 2 ай бұрын

Yes they do if their pieces are not going into frames - As everything I make goes into frames I don't usually keep it as stock. It's always possible to bend over the outside flanges of H lead.
