Snowflake

Lining up the long edge on the top to get an idea of where the glass must be ground.
Here it is the top right, so the point, on the left side, moves in to its place, also the angle on
the bottom is off so I will start there and repeat the process of template it in place.

When dealing with a thousand pieces plus you need to get organized, or pull your hair
out later. Here is the multi piece storage and containment device system that I use...
I have used this system for a few decades for tiffany lamp construction, but the pieces
are smaller, and I can leave the lids on, that will allow me to close them and put
them aside if needed.

I was going to start the center but than changed my mind, because there was not
enough support for all the angles. With only one main spoke completed it would be a
nightmare trying to hold it all together.

With 2 main spokes completed, I can jump in to the center - I have been dying
to get to the center, and see what the main focal point will look like. A lot of the
pieces for the center where not cut because I did not know what texture they
would be and if they would be iridized or clear.
