Richard ... an old guy on the other side of the village was a stained-glass restorer (he was in his eighties then and sadly long gone now) and I got him to teach me the basics ... I enjoyed the traditional process .... may well do more when I finally see sense and hang up my racing gloves 🙂
John .... I'm surprised with modern scanners, cnc cutters etc that someone hasn't set up making perfect copies of traditional deco windows in stainless .... Deco houses definitely need keeping up with ... the style is very clean and sculptural ... looks great while perfect but loses the effect quickly if the (usually white) walls get rust-streaked or the windows degrade.
