Colored Glass Cut for Clear Bevels

 I am now cutting the colored glass to the shape of the center portion of the clear bevels.  They will be hand beveled after I putty the whole panel, both sides.  After the cleaning of the panel, the color pieces will be bonded on top of the clear bevel.





Next up is puttying the panel on both sides and let it set for a couple of weeks.  During that time I will be beveling the color pieces that will be bonded on top of the clear bevel.

Soldering Completed

I have completed the soldering both sides of this large stained glass panel for an interior door.


I take time on soldering to create smooth and seamless solder joints.  

The pen line on the triangles are for the color pieces that will be cut and bonded.  Later they will be bonded on top.

Completed Piecing Together Glass Panel

 Finally completed piecing together the stained glass panel for the Interior Door!



I really like this design, the flow, movement, color!

Far from being completed, next up is soldering all the joints front and back then putty both sides, followed by cutting color glass the size of the middle section of each clear beveled piece. While the putty sets for a couple of weeks I will bevel each color piece, then clean the panel and lastly bond the color pieces on top of the clear bevels.  Once that is all completed the installation will happen soon after.

Low Light Effects on the Glass

 I was in the garage with only certain areas lit up and glanced at the glass on the table, the bevels caught my eye.  Interesting the different lighting creating different effects with the glass even while on the worktable.




Interior Door Stained Glass Update

 I completed the last batch of bevels, pieced together more of the panel.  



I have cut the glass for the remaining 7 pieces that need beveling.  After those are completed then I will be able to finish assembling the panel.
