Righting a wrong
The original main entry doors to this facility had been fabricated from a rather thin grade of lead came which did not adequately support their usage. Duplicating them with the appropriate zinc metal and sturdy steel reinforcement bars ensure many years of durability.

devitrified glass border |
This image shows the panel after I have replaced the red glass boarder with new, matching the color and texture to the original. Cleaned it up a bit too.

My next project is duplicating this panel from a historic Samuel Hannaford home undergoing renovation. Originaly there had been three transoms above the bay window, unfortunatly one was removed a number of years ago to accomodate a air conditioner and the present owners wish to complete the set. The challenge (and the fun) for me is tracking down matches for the lovely glass in this window.
It will take a little time but in the end will be able to get pretty close. the idea is have the new blend in with the old.
