If you've ever wondered how curved stained glass is made.

First we need to build a rounded former to set the pattern on. The panel is built on this and when complete, soldered. A matching former is then placed on the top and the complete assembly turned over. The original former, which is now on the top, is removed so that this side can now be soldered and then puttied. The process is repeated, to allow the other side to be be puttied. Finally the panel is replaced in its setting and the wooden mouldings re-attached. If you look at the last photograph you will see that the reflection of the lights are 'wobbled' due to the movement in the glass. This door was actually repaired using a modern restoration glass which replicates the original.

Having been very busy before and after Christmas the posts have been somewhat sparse. New Years resolution - post more posts!
Earlier this week. Repairing a Church window that had been damaged by stone throwing. It was an absolutely gorgeous day with the sun out.

I recently had the pleasure of repairing a leaded light and metal casement set in an oak frame at a 17C Manor House.
The customer had opened the window and it had fallen from the first floor to the ground.
The casement was missing the bottom hinge plate and the latch was bent and cracked. The top hinge plate was used as pattern and a new matching hinge plate and pin was fitted. We were able to straighten the latch and make good the crack.
The light had a number of broken pieces and was badly bent. Using both conservation and restoration techniques we managed save two thirds of the light and carried out a partial repair on the bottom third.
One of the things I love about this job is that I get see some architecturally impressive properties.
