Hi Sophie! Nice video. That is a BIG leaf! When I have to turn a larger piece over, I move it half way off the table, rotate the outer half down so the piece is in the vertical, rotate the piece around keeping it vertical, place it at the half way point on the table edge, rotate it to the horizontal, and then slide it all back on the table. Does that make sense? Maybe a little different, that is all. Your daughter looks very much like a younger you! Great that she could help! And nice to see the person who has created all that good music for your videos.

Ah... yes I get it. Good idea - why didn't I think of that! And it is lovely to have Freda with me. She's moved back in for a while (as most young people seem to do these days).

I wish I had watched this yesterday when I received my first glass freight order and I broke a baroque clear and champagne colored glass full sheet while taking it out of the box

[@SophiesStainedGlass]

Oh goodness...thats horrible. Years ago I had a similar experience with a sheet of hand made flashed pink - and it still haunts me!!!

If you only have one wood sheet then lower the panel on its sheet to the floor, standing vertically. Move the sheet to the other side of the panel. Lift back onto the bench.

Yes I do do that sometimes
