Part 2. Selina had bought an old door with a rather damaged leaded window fitted and asked if I could work my magic πͺ. As the panel was falling apart with lots of broken glass the best course of action was a full rebuild. I dismantled and cleaned the glass before releading it back together. Matching up the broken glass is always a challenge on this sort of project. You can see how I faired at the end of the video. I made the window with a slightly thicker (stronger) lead came and included a few internal slim 'steels' into the design to increase the strength π
I'll be honest I don't take on many restoration projects these days as I do much prefer making my own projects from scratch. In saying this I do like the occasional repair job mostly to keep the social media content interesting π»
This video is Part 2 showing the cementing and cleaning process. If you'd like to see the broken original window and the making of the new one check out Part 1
