- Enjoy watching the full process of building and installing a really big pair of beveled glass front door inserts.
This project was a commission done by my friend and teacher Rick of Southwest Stained Glass, his is the other pair of hands in the video. He often brings me on to help with large or complicated projects, and I assisted in all phases here from the design to the installation. You can see Rick's portfolio at his website:

OMG! As a tradesman for 30 plus years, I couldn't imagine doing a project like that...Such beautiful work but; SO TEDIOUS...It's great that there are men and women willing to endure the tedium * to me* of such an endeavor... Good health and freedom to you and yours!
What incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. It was a joy to watch you work on this simple yet beautiful piece.
I was a Farrier for a few years, find it amusing to see horseshoe nails being used to hold the lead pieces inplace.
Beautiful cinematography, wonderfull music and beautifull work! #kudos
You guys are amazingly professionals. If I understood well, all outside edges cut pieces were sent back to be beveled for final installation? Theses doors are stunningly amazing. Congratulations for that artwork! ❤
Thank you for a healthy dose of inspiration this morning!!!
Same here! Good video thanks for sharing
I appreciate it a lot, cheers!
It would have been nice if you had described what you were doing and why .... looks good 👍
Pogo is perfect for this
When the music starts back up with pushing the power button for the polisher......MMMMMMMMMMMM!

Great work you guys. Love from India ❤️
Excelente trabajo master soy aluminiero pero me gustaría adentrarme en esto de los vitrales saludos desde rio blanco Veracruz
Hello!A very beautiful product!Could you tell me where you can get acquainted with the technology of such production?It is very interesting to know the materials used in your work.
Beautiful work! Do you have a website I could check out!?
Very nice work. When the windows were sitting in the pickup truck bed, did I see a protective sheet of glass and some sort of frame around the whole piece? can you tell me about the frame you used, since I assume the frame and protective glass also was installed in the wooden door. Thanks
I don’t know the answer exactly but I can tell that the extra full sheet of glass plays two roles. First it acts as an insulator since it effectively makes a double pane window with a pocket of air in between, and second it acts as a sacrificial first layer of glass to protect it from the outside world (baseballs, weathering, and years of knocking on the glass door).
The frame around the whole thing is simple aluminum glazing channel that acts as a spacer to sandwich the finished artwork between two sheets of tempered glass. Building an insulated unit like this serves all the purposes the commented before me laid out, as well as serving to make the piece about a million times easier to clean.
Bevels are heavy, but you used zinc came throughout which will obviously lend a lot of rigitity to the window and prevent sagging the way old lead does! That is a strong lattice! I am planning a very tall sidelight window project, all straight cuts and I am considering zinc throughout for strength and longevity and to avoid rebar. Can you tell me, what width you selected for your H-came? Thanks! Awesome work.
I see it now. . . looks like it was 1/4” Round H from Cascade.

Thanks so much for the watch and the question. And yeah, you must have seen it in the section where we pull it from the box, it's ZR25 quarter round H.
I am prepping a video this week about working with hard metal came. I'm sure you're well equipped, but let me know if you'd like any pointers on cutting and working with it.
Oh god I was worried during the flip around 11:50
Haha, ME TOO.
Hi. Great video! Learned so much. What’s the putty you use? Thank you in advance!!
Thank for the comment. The putty used is a purpose-made mix of portland cement, chalk, linseed oil, and mineral spirits.
For a panel that size is it sufficiently stable without adding re-strip, reinforcement bars or something other? ?It's fabulous work , though. Very impressive and very professionally done.
The came and the border channel are zinc, they are rigid metal (which is why we have to cut it with a cutting wheel), so every line of came in the window acts as its own reinforcement bar.
Bonjour....
Svp vous ne posez pas d armatures...?
What border is around this to support it? And what’s the powder?
Beautiful work
the border is Colombia and the powder is cocaine😄
The border around the edge is 1/2'' zinc U channel. The powder is calcium carbonate, simple chalk, sometimes called "whiting".
Who cut and beveled the glass?
You could never transport anything like that in Pittsburgh…..
So educate me, I love the precision, but why didn’t you weave the came?
what name silver bar for panel?
Zinc came, I can't remember the size but the model number is shown on the box we pull it out of in the beginning of the video.
Not being funny, and the finished work is still beautiful, but not seeing much in the way of stained glass here?
"stained glass" refers to the craft generally, not necessarily the fact that the glass is colored
if a person wanted to argue that the glass MUST be colored for the final panel to be called stained glass, I'd make the case that of all the glass colors you can choose, clear is one of them
Why are you using so long strips?
The window is not strong at all
This is unacceptable way of doing stained glass
Lead strips with canals for the glass then putty after the solder. It’s solid this way
Correction zinc came for the strips
