Lead-soldering

To create the traditional lead-soldered glass window the procedure is substantially the same that was used by the glass-makers in the past century:
- first, the composition is planned
- then it is sketched
- the drawing is reproduced on a cardboard in normal size
- the lead-soldering lines are drawn on the cardboard:
these delimit the shape according to which the glass pieces will be cut
- the glasses are selected and cut
- the lead soldering is now performed: it consists in the
composition with lead and stucco of the glass pieces forming the glass window.
