Smashing pics on Instagram @sean1933 looks fantastic -
Set up nicely wasn’t it? Very wet and windy at Murryfield as both teams struggle with tactics...come on Scotland!

A Dr Who fan would get some detailing added to that glass and a nice flashing light for the top? nice big space underneath though

Hmmm... I like 85?

More insulation than my hut yours has. Mine is toasty warm but does have a fierce wood burner inside. I’d say airtightness is more important so make sure the floor walls and roof are well wrapped and you’ll be good

Keny Drew http://www.eastneukglass.com/commissions/4593413321 I know you like ’good value’ @ProDave but reckon a commission this size will be ££££ If you do a full weekend workshop you can learn the basics and then maybe make your window in three squarish sections. Its all about what you want...simple coloured glass is fairly easy but if you want painted insert add more time and expense. On my second trip I made a combination of leaded glass with a fused glass insert, this is layers of glass laid on top of each other ( keeping the edge a single layer to it fits into the leaded beading) and then melting it overnight so it becomes one piece. A mixture of colours, glass rods for straight lines (like glass spaghetti) and ground glass in various mixtures for texture. It looked fantastic but this is a craft that takes time. Keny is a friend of a friend but one of the nicest most helpful guys you’ll meet. Give him a call or book a course with the missus. There are a few specialist tools/machines that won’t be worth buying for one (or 3) windows. For instance the wet tray grounding machine that allows you to smooth the edges of cut glass, it also lets you cut U shapes that are near impossible to do by hand. Another one is the stretching thing that is miraculous...put the H shaped lead in it and give it a good tug and the bead transforms into a super straight and taught strip ideal for forming. Finally, I’d be disappointed with an angular stained glass as a feature and once you have seen glass painting (think of the church ones you have seen) or fusing you will definitely need a furnace or use of one.

I’ll look up the Fife guy I made some stained glass with at his workshop but from looking at other commissions he had on the go it’s more complex than you may think... The big ones like yours need steel rods to support the stained glass. These are incorporated into the design and the leaded beads are soldered onto the bar and tied with wire to support the leaded glass.

Water Levels (Tools)
Tennentslager replied to Stewpot's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Used one once with blue food dye in the water...built 13 pillars and when the 4.8 m joists arrived it was time to see if it worked. 100% accurate? but until I discovered Makita LXT I was a troglodyte or should that be Luddite -
Cancel my last... that’s less than 100 Squids!

It’s a 2 battery machine so 6 cuts on one pair of batteries In any case I have 4 batteries so it’s fine to charge at home then go to the hut which is off grid
