| We had a metalworking artist build a
| |
| | crack my glass.I let the frame work sit
|
| framework for a pool table lamp. It was a
| |
| | for 24 hours so that the silicone can set
|
| little tricky but not difficult to
| |
| | and cure properly.Here, Jeanne has just
|
| install the glass. We don't electrify
| |
| | applied the black patina to the final
|
| lamps, because that would require U.L.
| |
| | panel and cleaned, waxed and polished
|
| listings and the costs for custom work
| |
| | it.I stand the frame so gravity will work
|
| would be prohibitive. What we do instead
| |
| | in my favor, remove extra sticks that
|
| is call the lamp a "lamp shade" and allow
| |
| | were being used to clamp the panels and
|
| local electricians to install whatever
| |
| | ease the final panel in place. I have to
|
| light package they desire.The panels are
| |
| | get the widest edge into the framework
|
| all built and sized to fit into the metal
| |
| | first and the pull the panel up into
|
| frame that I had built for the pool table
| |
| | place so that the whole thing fits
|
| lamp. After dry fitting each piece to
| |
| | perfectly. I do it without silicone first
|
| make sure they would fit, I put a small
| |
| | so that I am sure it fits and then I bed
|
| bead of clear silicone caulk around the
| |
| | it into the silicone.At each corner, I
|
| inside of the angle iron.I have to gently
| |
| | make sure there isn't any pressure
|
| ease the panel in place without allowing
| |
| | against the glass and I add a bead of
|
| it to fold over since there are
| |
| | silicone between the panels to fill the
|
| weaknesses in the glass design where the
| |
| | slight gap between them. I make sure
|
| lead lines provide no support and depend
| |
| | there is a little space between them
|
| on the frame they are going in for
| |
| | because I don't want the glass edges to
|
| support.Once it's inside the frame, I
| |
| | touch. If they do, heat expansion could
|
| gently lay it in place and center the
| |
| | cause them to expand and break each
|
| gaps to be equal on each side. I'm
| |
| | other. Silicone will protect against
|
| careful not to let the glass hit the
| |
| | breakage.I put sticks and clamps against
|
| metal edges of the frame and chip.I then
| |
| | the final piece to hold it in place and I
|
| apply silicon to the side panel frame and
| |
| | gently place a book on the panel to hold
|
| ease the first side panel in place.Same
| |
| | it against the frame where I can't easily
|
| thing with the other side panel, add

| | get a clamp to fit. Once the silicone
|
| silicone and ease the panel in place. I
| |
| | sets the glass fits well into the lamp
|
| have to be very careful not to allow too
| |
| | and it's done. Gomm started building
|
| much pressure between the glass pieces. I
| |
| | stained glass windows professionally back
|
| even cut and grind some of the pieces so
| |
| | in 1983 and has become an expert at many
|
| that the fit doesn't have too much
