How's this for some wainscott panel work? This area was gutted. New ceiling, walls, and flooring added
Built a new custom door for a historic home on the East Side of Providence
The center of this piece of leaded glass had four cracked panes. Working with magnifying glasses, I removed the rear cap of the lead came, removed the broken pieces of glass and made new one and laid them in. Then I replaced the lead came with epoxy. This way the whole piece did not have to be dismantled.
Two of my favorite customers told me that the movers broke two of the hand carved leafs off this antique headboard. On my lunch hour, each day, I worked on the repair in their garage. I drilled holes and inserted stainless steel ring shank nails for a scaffolding. Then I built up an epoxy base. I mixed stain in the epoxy prior to application. After the epoxy hardened, I went to work (with magnifying glasses) with my Dremel tool to copy the existing pattern. I applied a finish coat of stain and finish. They did not know I was doing this so it was a nice surprise for them. They could not tell which ones were broken after the repair.
