Documentary: Round Window stained glass, stop motion
I make stained glass windows for a living. For a long time I've wanted to make a stop motion movie of a window going together. So I finally did it.

Window is 58 5/8" diameter.

Workmanship and camera and video credits are mine. Design is Ken Bird, Dakota Stained Glass, Sioux Falls.

3887 individual images
taken at 3 frames per minute

Camera is Pentax K10D

video compiled using VirtualDub software.

Role: Craftsman, videographer

This is neat.

I was hoping it was going to end with a picture of it installed.

I enjoyed that.

It might benefit from some explanation of the process: you don't do any soldering until the end? What was all that business with the sand?

That was pretty cool, I enjoy when people take the time to document their process.
