At this point, the Oz window is all cut and fit, painting and firing are finished, and it's ready to start assembling. There's been quite a bit of overtime work in the past two weeks! Here you can see the window laying on a light table - the window is wider than the table, so the entire image isn't lit. The shadow running down the center of the window is a support bar in the table.
On the left, I'm placing the final pieces. Now the edge of each piece needs to be wrapped in thin copper foil, in order to be able to be soldered together into a finished panel. This step is going to be delayed for a couple days, as a window emergency has popped up that we need to deal with - yes, it does happen! Once we are past that, we'll be able to continue and finish the Oz window.

That is so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your progress with us!
ReplyDeleteOh Bill this is going to be just stunning!
ReplyDeleteWow! So nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks - it's always fun to see a project come together. At this point I'm anxious to see it finished, but that will still take a little longer!
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing! As an Oz fan and a stained glass fan I am salivating over here!
