I have sold the 41 Cadillac and the Hudson project cars & needed a new project & decided on a stained glass window for the Caboose.    I start with a picture or an idea in this case it was a picture on a puzzle I have that is just half of the running woman. The sketch or drawing on the left is close to the size and look that I wanted with the rest of her body drawn in, the center is the actual size of the window and the right is the pattern paper that will be glued to the glass. Carbon paper is used to transfer the sketch to the drawing and pattern paper.   I made up a table out of plywood and attached it to a roll-a-round cart then laid out the glass size on it, and attached the 1X11/2 frame to it that is the size of the glass & zinc (less the oak frame) then put the drawing in it.   The pattern paper was cut to size and the 1/2" U Zinc Cane cut to size and laid in at the perimeter of the glass.  The pattern's for the glass were cut out using pattern scissors tha
