Question I would like to make a stained glass panel (or two) to fit in a window in my daughter's house.The window opening measures 29 wide by 66 tall.I would like to hinge the panel(s) either as shutters or to be lifted out in such a way that she can open the window for circulation if she wants.What is the best way to do this?
Answer Sharon,
I like to start with the window frame and then draw the stained glass pattern to fit. That way you can make sure that the glass will fit the frame. If you do it the other way by building the glass and then fitting the frame to fit, it will be more difficult.
I suggest that you find a cabinet maker or friend who does woodwork and discuss the project with them. They will be able help you with a frame that will work for your opening and then you will easily be able to build a piece of glass to fit the frame.
