You may be interested in the site linked below. The site contains photos
and details about Helen Bray's creation of a large handmade tiffany lamp.

- 2,047 pieces of hand cut glass;
- 6 kg (13 pounds) of lead solder;
- Hundreds of hours of work over 5 years.

In the interest of full disclosure, we host the site for Helen and I
took the photos.

Thanks,

Graham

I just wonder why it took 5 years to build this lamp? I had a customer
build one in about a month. Same lamp.

Maybe they were buying supplies from some asshole in British Columbia and it
took that long to get the shipment? Lost at sea with those cases of glass
bound for Finland.

Andy, Helen's Tiffany lamp has been a part time project and every piece
glass was cut and ground by hand.

I have heard of another similar project, but the creators had the glass
pieces laser cut, and so ensured accuracy and speed.
