You'll have fun with your stained glass with those Ziggy

 

So why not have a go at this now Zigs

 

WOW, how beautiful is that!!!!! I would love just one window in my cottage to be stained glass, I love it.

 

@Zigs Ahem! "Window" of opportunity for you here

 

Strike while the irons hot Zigs

 

Well I would want it exactly the same!!!!

 

Still learning, but would happily have a go at anything

One I did earlier

BUT, we'm still on the subject of Grosing, so here we go with Grosing 101



Having marked out the pattern you want, you have to take into account that the lead cames are gonna throw the whole thing out by a few mil.



Score round the bit you want to take out, then cross cut a few scratches on the waste part.



Use the Grosing pliers to nibble away up to the line you want, this is a 2 handed operation but I needed one hand to take the pic.





Cut your cames to the right length and secure them with nails and I ready for soldering.



Then solder it using sheep fat as a flux, and carry on till you'm built a window, then flog and fit it at Val's gaff

 

I *was* going to mark your post "friendly" ... until I realised that your efforts were not for my benefit .. so you got downgraded to "Like"

 

They can be for your benefit too

 

I think I like them Ziggy. Swap you one of these for a tea cosy:

my fave....
Jenny

 

No, no: you have given your (he)art to another I don't do second helpings

PS: nice work there Zigster!

 

Hang on a squiddly minute

Val.. gets a full blown 20' x 60', top of the range, Sistine chapel-esque effort ..... Jenny gets whatever she wants for a tea cosy and I get offered .... 1"x 3" (which wouldn't even fit my key hole!) "token" which is then called a "benefit" ... (?) ..

... I'm going to vote UKIP!

PS: nice bit of soldering
