Sunlight? Did someone say sunlight?  Ooops sorry wrong subject.
Really nice, I'm amazed at your turnover times, I can only do that when I'm really, really mad at something.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

I do have a repair tip to share from yesterday - and I figured this is the best place to post it, so here goes.

Instead of using pennies or coins for fitting new pieces of glass, use fan folded paper.  Take any scrap pieces of paper and fold like a fan, see picture 1 below.  Place your foiled glass on top of the paper and press down, see picture 2.  Solder and the repair is completed, see picture 3.  The folded paper really works well and you don't have to fish out the coins.  Paper will drop off when you lift the piece for soldering the other side.

Awwwh Toby's panel came out very well!  The leaves of hosta he's reclining in really look great in the sunlight!  Nice choices of glass!

I like the tip on the folded paper idea.  But I've never had to fish out the pennies..they work for me to put the new piece back in, and then when I flip the panel I guess it's no biggie to just swipe them out of the way.  But it's always good to hear how other people raise up the repair pieces!  Good info!
