Update!

It just goes to show how long this work takes - the last update was 3 months ago and my wife has been putting in a few hours every weekend!

All the glass was cut, copper foiled and dry fitted. It's now been soldered together and we've had "first light"!!

There's still quite a bit of work to do though: add patina (ageing) to the shiny solder, clean it up (the glass is very dirty) and build the frame.

I'm very pleased with how it's turning out!!

Cheers, Marcus
