Thanks for the advise, Bigwull!  I help a friend every once in a while, who has a stained glass shop.  She is a wonderful lady and spends lots of time repairing broken stained and leaded glass - lamps, windows, doors, etc.  Her biggest challenge was she created and installed a custom stained glass piece in the back of a guy's motorcoach!  She had to allow for all the vibration and had to add some extra packing (the cement-like material between the lead came and the glass) before she installed it!  I always hate seeing the broken pieces come it. . . especially the antiques.  Some of the glass can't be replicated!
It is better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool,
