Stained Glass Project - putting the pieces together

 The stained glass project has gotten serious. 

Here's where the tools live. Brushes, cutters, nippers and hammers. 

Where magic happens. After the glass is roughly cut, it must be ground to fit precisely into the design. That happens here. It's really messy. Glass and water everywhere. 

The piece being put together. The ground glass pieces are laid on the board, then bordered by lead strips. 

Total time spent so far (not counting cutting): 4 hours
