Best i keep at it then.

Just tell the wife its research as you are going to buy a cocktail cabinet next..

Just my opinion but if it is a small crack the added character of it is better than. A bad repair. If you get it repaired make sure it is someone who has matching glass. Not someone who will put something close in.

I have seen a few stained glass pieces ruined by fixing them.

If you do get it repaired the new lead will be a different colour. I have successfully aged a window to look similar by using lemon juice to fade a little and tea to give the browning.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Glad the dresser met with approval - well done that man.

As for the cracked piece of glass - agree with Big Dog, don't do anything unless you absolutely have to and then get it done by someone who knows their stuff or you could easily ruin the piece. If you are concerned about the crack then some clear tape on the back to hold it is a good move - not cheap sticky tape but quality clear vinyl tape, sometimes known as library tape. Or some clear glue to hold together. Either can be removed at a later date without causing damage.

Like the ship model - when cleaning use a small soft brush to loosen any dust and then blow, not suck, the dust off - an old style camera cleaning brush with blower would do the trick.

As for the small cupboard in the kitchen - that's a cute wee piece and very much the style that would be in a kitchen or breakfast room. You've got a good eye for furniture.

Took you long enough to figure that out.

Serves you right for going after something a little rarer. Tell her some nigerian scammed you out of all your savings and shift it to another account.
But keep the bike hidden or you will get castrated.

Nope, just being polite in the past - yesterday the "polite centre" reset and let it out...

To slightly misquote Mandy: "Ooh, you are awful, but we like you!"...
