Rebuilding a wood grid window
by Michael
I'm thinking of lead came as a replacement. Does this even make sense? I'm a total beginner. Answer Hi Michael, Yes, it can be done, but it would take someone with some experience to do it. In your email to me, you said you would look for a class in your area. That's the way to go if you want to do it yourself. The leading itself isn't going to be difficult, but getting the panels to end up being the correct size will be tricky for you, and reinstalling them will take the help of more than one person. I'm sure you'll be able to do it with a good teacher to guide you. Make sure you find a class that teaches lead work. Many instructors don't teach lead anymore because they don't know how to do it. Call Victor Rothman for Stained Glass Inc. in Yonkers and see if he can tell you where you can find a class in your area that teaches the lead came technique. I'm pretty sure he'll be able to help you |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
