Horse Shoe Nails Meet Stained Glass

One of my other hobby-turned-business is designing and building stained glass windows. I prefer to build windows with the traditional lead came, so I assemble the entire window first, and then go back and weld the lead joints. It is also tradition to use horse shoe nails to help hold the pieces of glass in place while assembling the window.

You can see some of my windows at www.rgbglass.com .

  2. Nice detail. We definitely see those are not your common or garden nails.
