It,s fairly easy to do this. In a dish or container you place a small amount of water that covers your object. Then with a high speed drill, dremel was one mentioned, you begin to create a hole by laying the bit slightly sideways on the spot to be drilled, and begin your hole. When you have a small groove created, lift the drill upright and finish the hole. A little practice and you will be very good at this.

I can answer most querys about leading,cutting,and foiling. I have a small amount of painting experience, I can help with fusing questions, slumping, and draping, mold prep,design, repair of windows and lamps, I can`t help with glass casting or blowing, frame making.
Experience
Ihave had a stained glass custom design shop for twentyfive years in this area. I have made lots of windows and lamps, some for churches, many for homes, signs, etc. I have repaired lamps, and windows of all sizes, and have a good reputation in Kalamazoo, where my studio is. My studio is very busy now, as I believe all stained glass studios are, with repair, and new work.
Awards and Honors
I have received two awards. One in Kalamazoo from the Diocese of Kalamazoo for Windows I have made in Catholic and other churches, the other from Modern Liturgy Magazine for one of the windows we made for St. Ann Church in Augusta, Michigan
