Hey Moon, 4/32" is 1/8" so 5/32" is just a tad bigger. :-) Andy A tad? Are you calling .031" a tad? Sorry. Thirty years as a machinist screwed up my idea of "tad". Doesn't help in my glasswork. Oh wait, I'm not sorry. That's 25% bigger. -- Jack http://www.glasterpiece.com I have to disagree. 1/32" is a legitimate tad. 3/64" would be a 'good tad'. 1/16" would be a 'bit'. A concatenation of 'tad bit' would not be equivalent to 3/32" however. It would simply be synonymous with 'tad'. A 'good bit' could be anything from 1/16"-up.

I thought anything from 1/16" and up was a 'schosh'? And anything 1/64" and under is a RCH.

I do agree that foil does look better in many applications, but a true camer will always think that thread lead is equal to foil in appearance. The one negative to be said about lead is that it's really really dirty and messy. You can do foil in your home. I use both equally. well, there you go...first of all, the 'real men' quote should be a dead give away what's really going on here (!!!) but i don't see how anyone can possibly equate the work of Louis B. Tiffany with 'hobby medium'.... as a non-leader...what's 'thread lead'?? Sorry Arlene that you didn't get the over the top chauvinism... thread lead is 1/8 wide came that is equal to or thinner than foil. -- JK Sinrod www.sinrodstudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories

"Former Lurker" wrote in message ... Your hung up on Tiffany, not the only person to compare to of that era, and Tiffany certainly used lead cames as often as anyone else. He wasn't the "end all, be all" of stained glass. He just hired the people that knew how to do it. and he knew how to promote his work. I say "his" because it is the name on the building/company, he just had the money and some great design ideas that he passed on to his glass designers, and glaziers who knew how to execute. You're one of the few that gets it Lurker. I tell exactly this Tiffany story version to my beginners students in the first lecture. Along with the fact that old Louis was considered the "great emancipator" of women for being one of the first companies to use women in the design and construction process. He said they had a flair for design and a feel for craftmanship. Privately he told his cronies that he used women because he could pay them less in wages. He would walk through the shop with a heavy cane and often smash finished objects d'art he didn't like. He himself was a total failure at any art he attempted. His really brilliant idea was to use the mountains of scrap leftover from the windows, to make the lamps. His goal was to have a SG lamp in every middleclass home. "To Bring beauty into the home, so you may live with it and thus enhance your life". What a line of commecial BS huh? He was a really good sales and marketer, not an artist. -- JK Sinrod www.sinrodstudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories
