Thread: Walnut doors with stained glass inserts - Family Woodworking

In early 2010, I built two pairs of walnut doors and inserted stained glass panels that I made into the doors. I described that project on-line but it seems that I did not describe it in the Family Woodworking forum. If I did, I certainly can't find it here. For a description of that project with lots and lots of pictures and detail both about the doors and the satined glass, you can look at the Festoll Owners Group forum thread: http://festoolownersgroup.com/member...stained-glass/

Margaret really likes the doors and she wants a matching pair for the passageway between our kitchen and dining room. This project in now underway and I hope to complete it before the end of November. Regular reporting upon progress seemed to make the first project proceed well, so I am going to report here on the new project too -but in less detail because the majority of the steps will be much the same as in the first project.

Two weeks ago, I finished building the six stained glass panels that will be required. They have the same design as the panels in the original set of doors but are slightly smaller because the new doors will be narrower. Here is photo of one of the panels after assembly but before soldering:
