Chapter Four Window Unit Project



Welcome Back!


Now that the patterns have been settled, it is time to begin cutting glass.


After all the glass blanks are cut to the shape designated on the pattern.  There are small nubs that need to be removed.


So it is time to grind them smooth and get them ready to stain.


There is a nifty machine for that.

Thank you for following along!

If this is your first visit to the story, go back to the home page and follow from chapter 1.

Enjoy the process!!

Chapter Three on New Hope Window Project


Resizing the unit to the new dimensions, resulted in the patterns looking like the above.  I am happy with the results.
The blank spaces are for the faces and hands feet, legs that are stained onto clear glass using my drawings.




The three pictures above show how the blanks will look filled with my drawings, after they are stained onto the glass.

In the next chapter I will show the first layer of staining.

See you there, thank you for following along!
