We finished them in April, I think. You can click through to my Laurelhurst blog and click on the "Stained Glass" tag on the right side.

It's a really old Craftsman "gun style" and it went from super hot to barely working. I tried putting a new tip on it, but the tip I bought was for a Weller, and it didn't seem to heat up in this gun. I can't understand why not. The crummy part is that I don't really want to spend 100$ on a nice iron right now. I've already spent a whole bunch of money this week, and now I have to watch my spending.<br /><br />I'd be curious to see some of your pieces (I didn't know you did any stained glass).JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-6146128180095860072012-08-03T22:58:44.940-04:002012-08-03T22:58:44.940-04:00Thanks for the encouragement.

It was free, and I probably won't be spending much to restore it (lead and glass is pretty cheap) but I want to do a nice job on it.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537355151674491939.post-20747641026509682882012-08-03T22:45:39.056-04:002012-08-03T22:45:39.056-04:00Great job for a first try!!

Luckily, we had the correct kind of solder on hand from earlier stained glass attempts. Impressive result for a first attempt.Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.com
