![]() With all of the other panels, we’ve been working collaboratively: I’ll cut the glass, then one of the team will grind and foil, another might solder, and someone else might patina and polish. Width of Stained Glass Overall (Front Wall): 26 feetĬolumns with Stained Glass (Front Wall): 14īutterflies: 7 (1 in caterpillar and 1 in chrysalis stage)īack in the upstairs studio, I’ve asked each member of my team to construct a star panel basically from start to finish. Side Wall Stained Glass Panels: 18 (projected) Total number of Glass Pieces in Front Wall: 2,118 I say rough because a) some numbers are estimates, and b) YOU try counting the number of glass pieces in ONE panel and get back to me about how accurate you think you are! Now that I’ve counted and measured the different parts of this project a thousand times, and then quickly forgotten the numbers when asked a question, here’s the rough tally. Even so, Rob locked up the steering wheel with this huge chain that he brought, just in case. We wound up high up on a hill, backed into a brightly lit parking spot complete with cliffs on two sides, with a clear view of the hotel’s front desk. I had to convince Rob not to sleep overnight in the van with all the glass, so we searched for a hotel with a very safe looking parking lot. The worst moment, though, was the overnight at a Holiday Inn outside of Morgantown. I did see him flinch every time he spotted a surprise pothole… and he almost lost his mind as google maps took us the final 9 miles on a winding single lane (but two-way) back road complete with wildlife (and dogs) that weren’t eager to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. It was 877 miles of somewhat stressful driving for Robert, though the weather was great and we didn’t hit any snow up in those West Virginia mountain passes. Well, we’ve arrived safely at Star Hill Farm with all of the glass carefully crated up for the voyage. Width of Stained Glass Overall 37 feet (26 front/11 side)Ĭolumns with Stained Glass: 20 (14 front/6 side)īutterflies: 9 (1 in caterpillar and 1 in chrysalis stage) ![]() Panel Dimensions: 20” square (visible glass), 20 7/8” square (exterior of zinc) Total number of Glass Pieces: 4,191 (3,415 front/776 side) ![]() Total Area of Stained Glass Panels: 197 square feet These stats include the front and side walls of the vestibule, but not all of the cabinetry panels, because I’m tired of counting things. It’s almost a year since my preliminary statistics calculations, so now that I’m tying up loose ends, here’s the finalized numbers to the best of my knowledge.
