I posted leaded glass dome story of creation few days ago. Here are more images of the leaded glass dome in process of fabrication in our studio We visited construction site on early stages of construction and discussed details of leaded glass domed skylight installation with a construction manager After sketches were approved by clients Eugene started metal frame fabrication. That is one of the most complex frames Eugene fabricated. We used a lot of tricks and specially designed features to fabricate the domed metal frame. We cut templates using our water jet machine to achieve the highest level of precision and accuracy. Eugene is very proud of his work. Assembling of finished leaded glass dome in our studio. We have to be sure all dome parts will come together perfectly to avoid unpleasant surprises during on site installation Leaded glass panels for curved border assembling in progress. For panels reinforcement we used mix of lead and brass parts with steel re-bars. This will prolong significantly the lifetime of the dome Metal frames painting takes a lot of space. We are lucky to have a large studio On site leaded glass dome installation in progress. Domed part is installed. Flat corners and curved borders are coming Glass cleaning lady. I am not the best person for this type of work - I am terribly afraid of height and working on a platform 30 feet from the floor is not easy for me. Beauty demands sacrifices, so I was there Finished project is beyond our expectations |
