We made the original window for
the client some years ago and when they decided to add another storey
to their home the window was going to be cut across with the new
staircase. So they decided to have it made smaller and the
remaining third (shown here) incorporated into another window for the
new storey. Here you can see the piece of glass for the new
portion laid out with the original in the top left corner. |

In this photo we are laying each
piece of glass in place once it has been wrapped in copper foil. |
|
This is a
Foil-o-matic 500 made by Deagel in the USA. It separates the
copper foil from it's paper backing and allows you to accurately
line the glass up onto the centre of the foil. It's extremely useful
and saves a lot of time and hassle. |

All the pieces of glass are now
foiled end ready to be soldered together with the original section
soldered into the top corner.
We start by fluxing the entire
length of the copper surrounding each piece of glass and then run
solder along it building up a small bead to mimic lead came. |

|
And here is the panel soldered on
the first side. It must then be turned over and soldered on the
reverse as well. |

sitting on the light box awaiting the client. |
