Stained glass pieces nearly finished

My project for today was to finish piece two and three of my current stained glass projects. Number two needed a bit of touch up soldering and then the solder darkened. Number three needed much the same. Arthur stepped into the shop and had a design in mind for the frame for number three. We both were very careful to keep all fingers away from the saw blade, and in any event one of the pieces of wood took off like a shot when we hit a knot but neither of us was hit or hurt. Finally the frame pieces were made and glued and put aside to cure. Tonight I unhooked all of the clamps, and the frame seems to be complete except for final sanding and finishing. I guess that will be tomorrow's project. Other than that it was a quiet day.

Foxy went to the store for supplies and to the yarn store to get a bit more yarn she needed for beginning some Christmas gifts. She is sure good at that type of creative craft work.

It was sunny this afternoon, which made it a perfect fall day here in the Northwest. Happy travels.
