I've enjoyed being able to combine my love of drawing, building, and boats into designs for stained glass model ships. For me, building glass models has always been both challenging and rewarding. If you would like to try them, I'd like to share some of these designs with you.

I tried to make it easy for you to build each of these models. In addition to full size patterns for cutting the glass, I've provided simple easy to follow step by step instructions. Also included are detailed diagrams for assembly and for all the wire to be added.

I even hope you'll make some of these boats and go out and sell them.

It's a collection of tips, tricks and shortcuts from a professional glass artisan that has been commercially producing stained glass for more than 20 years. It outlines not just one way to do stained glass but describes the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives. As well as explaining different ways to make stained glass, it explains installing, repairing, teaching, and even selling your work.
