> Repairs of Stained Glass Panels, Windows, Suncatchers, etc.
Repairing leaded windows can be time-consuming and tedious and the risk of further breakage is significant.
If you bring your piece into the studio, Linda will provide an estimate of repair time and materials work and Dave can do his best to match your glass. There's no charge for glass matching if the glass is part of our standard stock. We have glass samples available from most glass manufacturers to assist in this endeavor.
> Cutting Glass (to specific dimensions)
We can score and break your chosen glass to specific dimensions for cabinetry, lamps, or other project use within size and tool limits, which involves cutting time, labor and waste material created from unusable glass stock. Standard Rate is $15 per pair of cabinet panels.
Please allow at least 1/16 to 3/32"" from edge of opening to allow for glass installation. Call us for a quote if you have a larger project in mind.
> Cutting Zinc/Brass (to specific dimensions)
We
can mark and cut your chosen zinc or brass to mitered or squared dimensions from 6' lengths. Cost involves cutting time and labor. You will be charged the inital 6' length of zinc but we will attempt to use available stock from our shop projects and classes to minimize your cost.
> Framing Stained Glass Work
Wood frames can be mitered or squared to encompass the border of a stained glass panel and help it preserve structural integrity. The industry "standard" oak stock we use is 6' long and comes in widths of 2", 1-3/8", and 1", each with its varying cost per 6' "stick". These are pre-routed (grooved to a depth of 1/4") and chamfered, or rounded and smoothed, for zinc-bordered panels. Larger, metal framed panels may require additional groove deepening or widening to ensure a snug fit, so quite a lot of tools and work are involved in getting these to the required depth and dimensions. If you just want to make your own frames from our oak stock, then call us to to have them ready for you.
