Dog stained glass windows

Construction crews were on site at the church on Tuesday installing a mix of new and refurbished stained glass panes at St.

Luke, New York St. It is the near culmination of a process that began about a year ago. The recently refurbished west windows of St. Luke AME are shown on Nov.

The windows will have a protective layer of glass placed over them before the work is completed. Hernly said that even partially installed, the stained glass windows look great, but their beauty will rise to another level once they are fully installed later this week. Scott Hoefer, owner of Hoefer Custom Stained Glass, explains some of the details of the west window of the historic St.

Hoefer said the project has taken a while because getting stained glass is never an easy task, but it was made more complicated by the pandemic. Stained glass suppliers are limited, and Hoefer had one in particular that he wanted to do business with — the same Kokomo, Ind.

Although I had ordered the stained glass film from Amazon the first time around, I had spotted some at Home Depot recently, so I decided to check out what my local store had to offer.

With my order placed, I thought things would be rolling right along. However, a postal strike in my area ended up delaying shipment far longer than expected. Thankfully, when I opened the box, all three rolls had the exact product that I had worked so hard to track down. I was thrilled! Along with the stained glass film, a little squeegee was provided.

I first decided how much of the window I wanted to cover, which was just the lower part of each pane. Then it was time to measure. Have you ever heard the saying measure twice, cut once?

Once I knew what size I needed each piece to be, I measured the same dimensions on the stained glass film. I again checked my numbers, measured the pieces twice, and made sure all of my lines were straight as I drew on the back where I wanted to make my cuts. You have only one chance to cut the stained glass film, so be sure to take your time and cut it perfectly straight. I used a ruler to keep my hand steady. I also debated using scissors or a paper cutter, but because of the size of the pieces I was cutting and the thickness of the film as well as the backing paper , I decided that the utility knife was the best option.

However, I still wanted to do my best to align the pattern as much possible, keeping the shades and colors together.
