Leaded glass panel going into cabinet door.

This is a small panel going into a kitchen cabinet door.  The top image details the hand beveling on the triangles.

Leaded glass window process, final step

Finished project installed in cabinet doors and details of the bevels.  One detail about the bevels is that they are not even all the way around.  I found this to add depth and dimension to the piece.

In step 9 I showed the putty being applied.  I use a horseshoe nail along the edge of the lead to clean off the excess putty.  The above image shows a whiting on the glass to clean the glass, absorb oils from the putty and flux (soldering stage).  The whiting also helps the putty to dry faster.  The bottom panel has whiting on the backside and the top side is clean.
