They stayed at a hotel full of mission/craftsman style furniture and furnishings. Jack learned that Scott was really into the Arts & Craft movement. He sent me some pictures from the hotel and explained how much he appreciated the chance Scott was giving him to take over K&E. He asked if I could think of a way to make something special to thank Scott and at the same time tie it to K&E. Well, I started thinking about doing something in stained glass but after a while I sent Jack this rough picture and asked if something like this would do and if the version of the K&E logo in the pic would work. He loved the idea and I said I’d never done anything like the panel in the picture but I’d see if I thought I could do something. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/e1bd86ac-64d7-4759-9000-cc7fb49061a9/logo-interior.png Blog - A challenge from Jack - I started by finding a copy of the logo that appeared on many K&E websites and checking with Jack to make sure the maroon and hunter green colors were appropriate. Jack who is somewhat color blind was not necessarily the best source but he confirmed that the logo and colors worked. I could have just painted something on the panel but that seemed too simple and likely to wear over time. So I started to think about trying to recess the logo into the panel and then staining or painting the recessed logo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/e67b4307-3d1a-43b0-a6a1-08dda6e9057d/templates2.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - I drew up the shape of the front panel in a graphics package including the logo and then scaled it to the desired size. Then printed it onto a couple sheets of heavy paper, taped them together to form a full size pattern and cut out the shape of the panel. Then it was pretty straightforward to transfer the pattern to some 1/2 inch stock and cut it out on the band saw. I decided to try to make two templates for the logo. One would be the outside of the shield pattern, with the interior removed. The other would be the tree with everything tree removed. The patterns were transferred to the wood using paper patterns cut from the scaled printout. I didn’t own and had never worked with a scroll saw but it seemed to be the right tool for this job. So, I bought a scroll saw I’d been wanting and cut out a couple practice templates. Then I made the two templates pictured out of 1/2 inch plywood scraps. They are pictured stacked to show how routing just inside the perimeter of the shield and then routing inside the tree will yield the required pattern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/9ceed481-2653-4a6b-af1b-32ca5df714a8/test.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - I experimented with some different flush router bits to get the shape and depth desired for each template. Then I clamped the shield pattern to the front panel I’d cut with the band saw and carefully slid the router along the perimeter to form the recessed shield. Then I clamped the tree template to the front panel making sure to orient it properly inside the shield. I used a smaller bit for this task to make sure to capture the squarish corners at the ends of the branches. Then I routed all around the inside perimeter of the template and then cleaned up anything left high on the interior of the template. This pic shows my first try on a beat up piece of scrap. I adjusted the depth slightly to make the final cut a little shallower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/7b73c6cd-6bcb-48ba-9303-0da095cfc579/painting.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - After a lot of learning, practice and fussing I had a panel with the recessed logo and decided that paint would give a more consistent finish than stain and give me more control of the colors. Again a new challenge for me as the only painting I’d ever done involved houses. I learned to mix colors to get just the right shade and carefully painted the logo. Luckily my trusty companion Pam had stained and finished the panel so it was easy to clean up if I strayed outside the recess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/cea988e2-b2dd-46d8-8bcc-742f40b6bdf9/front_panel.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - Finally, a finished panel that seemed to work. Shown here before the final coat of poly to seal the paint. This all took place at the lake over several months while I was trying to finish two other projects. At this point I sent this picture to Jack telling him I’d done the challenging part and now just needed to build a table around the panel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/5a4529fe-2335-4c2f-94e7-f993528811a6/glueing+up+front.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - I had a lot of red oak available from a number of earlier projects and with the addition of one board was able to shape all the parts for the base of the table. Pam loves the look of pinned tenons so that decided the joinery for the base. She likes to finish all the cross pieces (skirt and stretcher) to minimize where she has to worry about glue affecting how the stain is taken up. Here you see the front and back being glued up and tenons pinned. Note the front panel is also set in mortises. You can just see the end of the pins in the pic after they have been cut off and sanded flush (this sanding is why the legs aren’t finished before assembly). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/19ee4e24-28e8-4c99-8b49-330c6b9d2c4b/pinnin+tenons.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - At this point the project moved from the lake to the townhouse as we were getting organized for fall and planning to go to K&E for the first time. Here I’m doing the final assembly of the base, attaching the skirting with pinned tenons and using the long stretchers to form a magazine rack that are mortise and tenon joined to the short stretchers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/0eb1b133-50ff-4d66-a6b9-a3a6b0f3b48f/glueing+up+top.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - I don’t have much of a wood shop in the city but I have a great source of lumber. I was dreading having to buy the lumber for the top in Buffalo then taking it to Canada to dress and shape and then taking it back across the border. I’d been telling Jack that was the likely scenario when I learned about a hardwood lumber company across the Niagara Peninsula from us. Luckily it is in wine country so we got up there with our next visitor. It was an awesome place with a great stock. I was able to buy a piece of rough cut 5/4 inch white oak to form the table top. I dressed it with my planer and cut bevels to undercut the edges to lighten the final look. Here I am gluing up the top with biscuit joints and sanding everything flush on a beautiful early fall day at the lake. I should point out that Pam is not only the photographer but helps with most steps where extra hands are needed. I also drafted “Auntie Karen” to help with the planing and cutting the bevels. She thought she was there for the wine tasting but was happy to help in the shop. I used white oak because it is the traditional wood most commonly used in Arts & Crafts furniture. When stained it blends seamlessly with the red oak we had used for the base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/7498b303-11a2-46ae-8022-3d2cd58cc3c7/grouting+tile.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - Back at the townhouse Pam once again stained and finished the perimeter of the top. Then I used pocket hole screws to attach a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to form the center of the top and glued a floor tile to make up a nice hard surface for the bulk of the top. Here I am grouting the tile a day or two before we are to head for camp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/049b8f87-eb99-4670-8e9a-492a95889303/table+at+Scotts+house+at+K%26E.jpeg Blog - A challenge from Jack - We took the table to Camp in pieces to make transport easier and I still hadn’t sealed the grout. Our second day at camp we sealed both the tile and the grout and attached the top to the base with L brackets to make future disassembly easier. Here is the final product in “Scott’s House” at K&E. I really like how the wide white oak wings give extra character to the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/33782c22-7320-4492-83a1-8b7f6e511440/Turning+table+over+to+Scott+copy.jpg Blog - A challenge from Jack - We got really lucky and Scott showed up at camp on Friday before we were to leave on Saturday. It was the first time we met him which we really enjoyed. Here we are with Jack turning the table over to Scott. I’m not sure who was more excited. https://www.johnrschott.com/blog/wealth2023 monthly 0.5 2024-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/aac201fe-6dd6-4560-848f-2b38b1041b70/sticks_landscape_1990.jpg Blog - Trying to understand wealth distribution in the US - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/49d9a788-aef2-48f6-8cc2-47d743c83aee/sticks_landscape_2023.jpg Blog - Trying to understand wealth distribution in the US - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.johnrschott.com/blog/familyroom monthly 0.5 2023-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/41eb29fb-ff28-41fc-81c6-a8a04497b97f/DSC_0111+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - When we added more space to the condo the dining room including the ceiling light moved to the new space. The old dining room became a family-room and needed a new light. I decided to design and build a new light mirroring the oblong shape of the room. This post captures some of the steps in building a shade with many faces, as well as (since Pam was around taking many pictures), some of the steps common to most projects The finished product so you know where we are headed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/2d9650bd-1f66-46db-9476-f24dc237ebfa/DSCN8038+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - The first step was to solder up four panels and then assemble them into the the shallow truncated pyramid seen here. It seems like each assembly requires a slightly different set of clamps and fixtures to hold everything in place as the panels are tacked together. The initial four panels being tacked together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/c7d3c22b-6d73-46e5-927a-0505027decd6/DSCN8040+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - After the panels are tacked together they need a nice bead of solder down the entire length of the joint. To achieve this the entire work surface is tilted to get the seam level. Soldering the seams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/6e7a0936-cc0c-4e37-86d2-573ae02af8b3/DSCN8042+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - The next steps involved soldering up the 4 panels that formed the next faces of the shade (note another face laying to the left). Each face was then tacked to the corresponding shallow face of the original pyramid from the inside and then the corners were tack soldered and eventually a nice bead was soldered. Tack soldering the second faces to the first faces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/af91137f-c7c6-4d11-bf85-2a344418aa4d/DSCN8043+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - I built a simple jig to lift the first two assembled faces off the work surface. The final faces had been assembled into panels which were fitted underneath and tacked into the existing assembly. Each of these final faces were then tacked at the corners. Very carefully tack soldering the verticle pieces to the main assembly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/960ab38c-fca9-4e5c-a7a3-10dd865fd593/DSCN8044+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - The final beads of solder require the edges of the shade to be held level. This involved holding the shade on my lap at several different angles to do the finish soldering. Running the final beads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/0658b9fc-4bdd-443e-b5ca-88913f78889c/DSCN8046+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - After all the soldering is finished the project is thoroughly washed to remove all the residual solder flux. Washing the flux off in the pantry sink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/b2e701f9-eda5-494d-bbb6-a96f2c9af8f9/DSCN8047+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - After washing off all the solder flux and letting the shade dry it was time to apply a black patina to all the solder joints and edges. Then all the residual patina was scrubbed off with paper towels. Applying patina to the finished shade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/f84a0910-5fef-47bf-b8a4-e612838fe8a6/DSCN8049+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - With the glass finished I attached a wooden vase cap I had made to support the glass shade from the bottom. To make the installation easier a piece of quarter inch plywood was screwed into the vase cap from the top (inside) to hold it to the glass during assembly. Because of the large size of the room and the finished shade I installed a four lamp cluster. Installing the electrical and the four lamp cluster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/a84740f3-6913-47fa-a593-d6096087ecf1/DSCN8051+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - With everything ready it was finally time to mount the shade. Shade being mounted to the ceiling fixture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/f7b1225f-8076-4b06-a809-c3b06385a5d2/IMG_0308+copy.JPG Blog - Condo Family-room Ceiling Light - I’m happy to say the final project seemed to fit the space and the color scheme as planned. Lamp installed and viewed from below. https://www.johnrschott.com/blog/rose-lamp monthly 0.5 2022-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607528015412-G7R24DTTGA2MA6DS50J8/DSC_1404+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - Stephen’s cousin Margi, Peg, Margaret came on some pieces of glass at an auction while looking for antiques. She asked if I could use them to which I of course said yes. As a result I ended up with about a dozen pieces, mostly green and shaped like this one. They looked to me like someone had been making numerous four sided lamps and these were rejects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607528481556-9BWXEO9XT91YMOYZLEI8/DSC_1405+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - There were “four” panels all cut the same with one panel broken as shown here. When I found these “five” beautiful pieces and put them together to see what I had I could almost here the expletive from the original glass cutter on seeing the un-planned break. Whether it occurred while cutting or afterwards I’ll never know. I decided to see if I could recover something of what I assumed was the original shade design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607529341287-6KVOOY93XVY6QQIU6JWS/DSC_1406+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - I came up with a design that used some scrap pieces from other projects and an enlarged rose design I had use in our bedroom mirror. I modified the design so that a cut line would fit the break in the panel. Here you see the the lines I planned to cut laid out on the smoother backside of the panel (the front had a beautiful but very pebbly texture that would never take a score). The fainter dashed lines are cut lines I expected to need to avoid unwanted breaks. The template for the rose is also shown with the X’s telling me the pieces were the backsides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607530190412-D9B1XJAL1PTGG17LVXNO/DSC_1409+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - The glass had a great deal of texture even on the back side which is not uncommon in hand rolled glass. In addition older glass can develop some tiny flaws that can cause unwanted breaks. This combination had me very nervous about the cuts in the green panel given I had no replacement piece. To minimize issues I tried to avoid any small radius curves which led to the two extra cut lines in the bottom of the design (dashed lines above). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607530855719-Z294YO3CGSNPMQCQIOCQ/DSC_1407+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - Despite these plans on my second cut I had a runaway break and maybe an expletive was heard. Luckily with a little design adjustment and no more bad breaks I was able to fit the modified design inside the cut and ground background panel as shown here. The planned cut line drawn bottom right was abandoned when the stem drifted left (as viewed from back) in the redesign. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607531330404-UM325DR4Q1PAQKJPIG2D/DSC_1413+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - Here are the background pieces separated so they can be seen individually. They have all been ground to nominal design at this point but will need some adjustment to mate perfectly with the rose insert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607531786201-TWMKPVXFCN1J2ZP82G1Q/DSC_1417+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - Here is the rose cut and ground inset into the background panel and ready for foiling. Note I was able to carefully cut the rose such that the texture pattern in the glass was was preserved to give a look of shadows on the rose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1607532185931-N8KKU1YZ97Q3WHXXVSEK/DSC_1427+copy.JPG Blog - Hand Rolled Glass - As I assembled this just before Christmas I decided to make it a little more festive and applied a copper patina which seemed right for the overall design. Here is the finished shade on a squarish base that I had in mind while building it. You can see the lit version in the glass section. https://www.johnrschott.com/blog/windows-for-the-beach monthly 0.5 2020-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604694525357-C7S3YUA3YDX88N4EFI5R/DSC_1326.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This project involves making four windows for the beach. Each window is made up of two panels that will be framed together to form an upper and lower panel. The lower (larger) panels are largely geometric with a thematic symbol at the top. The upper panels will be solid to start and will eventually be replaced with scenes depicting the seasons. This is a very large project. I hope to complete the 4 lower panels this winter and install the framed windows in the summer with the solid upper panels initially. The first step is to cut over 100 pieces for each lower panel. Here are stacks of cut and ground pieces and some of the templates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604695291286-CEPQF6JUQEJMCHGT79H8/DSC_1321.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This is the Irish Harp which is the symbol for the Spring window. It is the second one I built but I took better pictures showing the process. At this point the glass for the symbol has been cut and ground and I am test fitting to make sure everything fits well together and inside the design cartoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604695845648-NYCONHCR7DZZBFJWJ32O/DSC_1332.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - At this point the glass pieces have been foiled (this is a many hour process and my least favorite part of stained glass), the zinc came has been cut and the lower panel assembled and carefully squared up. The panel is roughly 18 by 24 inches and will set into a wooden frame. The upper panel will set into the same frame separated by a cross bar. It is roughly 18 by 10 inches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604696293911-OCS5QOWFQ8D9JTWPDEAM/DSC_1337.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This is the back of the panel after soldering. If you look carefully you can see that the two horizontal H came pieces have an extra piece of steel reinforcing bar to prevent sagging over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604696614215-W3LCS4L8K89Y0U9MW8NR/DSC_1335.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This is the front of the panel after a black patina has been applied. Note the “gold” harp strings. They are made of braided brass that was soldered on top of the glass. Also note the dull finish, particularly on the came and solder but also on the glass. One more step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604697082298-ZDS9BGUAETWVSPVO6N03/DSC_1343.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - After polishing both sides the final panel is ready to be set into its yet to be built frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1604697430029-ER7PHY2VL4PM09986PB0/DSC_1344.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - Here are the Ireland (Spring) and the Canada (Autumn) panels (Special thanks to cousin Karen who helped with foiling the first panel after we let her out of Covid quarantine when she visited from Texas). More pictures are in the Glass/Windows pages and more to come as the next panels come together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1606414166070-HFXPB9UX3DJWMMD41E28/DSC_1355+copy.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This is a little cutoff saw I use to cut the came used to frame and strengthen the windows. It is a bit slow as the blade is barely up to cutting the double walled zinc came. Lubricating the cut with oil helps with the cutting and makes the blade last longer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1606414785151-W4SQ5I59Q8LD9AKRA1SN/DSC_1349+copy.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This is the winter symbol being tested for fit. In addition to being a tribute to Canada’s French heritage it reminds us of great visits to Quebec and Montreal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1606414982557-365NZ16FB95PCW4EMPBT/DSC_1388+copy.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - Here is the fleur de lis panel ready for installation. I selected this picture as it shows off the interesting nature of light on glass. The little triangles in all the corners show up white toward the bottom as they do in most light but quite gray toward the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1606414600619-WK5LHI5Z4KG3BZ8KDXKP/DSC_1353+copy.JPG Blog - Windows for the beach - This is the Summer symbol, cut and assembled to test for fit. https://www.johnrschott.com/blog/zqrpon9m8fnoradfpt61ax25uwvpxe monthly 0.5 2020-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598121315920-6K5AYLVGWVEN9Q1F7CCY/drawing+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - This is the start of a post about the steps in a stained glass project. In my case it usually starts with an idea and some random drawings that often only make sense to me and may have only limited resemblance to the final product. In this example I’ll show many of the steps. However in the foiling, soldering and assembly my hands were pretty full and Pam was not around so over time I’ll add some more images or video of those steps. This lamp was inspired by a group of lamps we saw on a trip to the Roycroft village in East Aurora. The simple arts and crafts style made for interesting rather easily built designs. I was looking for a relatively simple project to hone my skills before some large projects this fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598121770856-LKFXYKRJNUW9ZQ9LCKB2/idraw+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - In most cases I go from my indecipherable drawings to a graphic package on the computer. This has two functions it makes everything neat and understandable and it lets me scale everything to whatever size my calculations have suggested. This design ended up with a 3 inch circular vase cape surrounded by 16 petals. The base would be about 16 inches in diameter and about 7 inches tall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598124133428-2240O0TXL57A9E4Y7SYU/3_raw_glass+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - Luckily for me my stained glass supplier had just reopened for in-store (by appointment only) purchases and I bought some beautiful glass for this project as well as the big fall projects. The background was swirls of blue and green on white. The accent features were to be similar blue swirls on white. The glass was a little more transparent than I often choose for a lamp shade but I had a trick planned for that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598124946112-WEWIP43TQJM9Q8MCDLP4/4_first_marks+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - I print my design on heavy paper or in this case a single petal because they are all the same or a mirror image. My plan is to cut 16 petals. I extended the design about 1/8” inch at the top to make sure it would extend fully under the vase cap (having just made it 3/16” would be safer if I reuse the background design). I then mark the full height of a petal on the glass choosing the orientation so the long axis of the swirls runs down the petal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598125392967-DQUPXDVUXTTYH0QI1J5C/5_first+cut+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - I should point out that in this case all the marking and cutting is done on the back of the glass. This glass has a beautiful pebble texture on the front which makes it very difficult to cut. The back was quite smooth making for clean cuts. (note if you’re new to glass there is no right side, use the one you want for your project but always cut on the smooth side). The first cut on a big sheet like this is always scary. Glass sometimes has a personality and after you score it and go to break it along the score a tiny flaw in the glass or a bad score can cause a break across the entire pane away from your score mark. Luckily in this case it was a nice clean cut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598126046683-CR4FP6L6TT64PEF0T1A1/6_mark+first+piece+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - To save glass my plan was to cut each petal by flipping my design from top to bottom. After the first cut, which produced a little waste, each petal was produced with a single cut. Here I’m marking the edge of the first petal after cutting the waste end off (about an inch at the top and 1/4 inch at the bottom). Try not to cut too close to the edge of you waste piece as tiny fractures along the edge can cause your break to leave the score line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598126644044-XCO157JNRYO59XQ6WPDE/7_cut+first+piece+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - As you can see the straight edge is offset from the marks so that the cutting wheel runs just on the inside of the marks which are just on the outside of the template. This will result in a piece just the size of the template. I do this so that two light passes on the grinder clean up any rough/sharp edges and shrink my piece just a tiny bit so that after foiling it is back to a near perfect match to the template. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598127069292-HT5DL2399BHSZE67I08S/8_petal_one+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - Finally the first petal, followed by flipping the template for the second and the repeating until 16 are produced. I labeled as I went at the top (narrow) and bottom. This is to keep the color changes subtle between adjacent colors. Then I cut the narrow (top) end off the template at the top edge of the accent piece and used the bottom (wide part of background and accent piece) to mark and form the bottom of the petal. I flipped the template between odd and even petals to form the zigzag in the accent (carefully marking the sides of template odd and even). Note the running pliers and glass cutter in image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598127947522-G2DLXUU72N1EFGODX020/9_48+pieces+copy.jpg Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - Next I cut the accent piece off the bottom of the template and marked and cut the bottom of the petals to form the bottom of each petal and a waste piece with the shape of the accent piece but in the wrong color. Again I had to flip the template for odd and even petals to form the zigzag pattern. Finally I used the small accent template to mark and cut the blue accent pieces. In this case, I wanted the long axis of the swirls to run along the long axis of the accent pieces so I cut long strips along the orientation of the swirls (the width of the accent pieces). I then marked and cut the accent pieces again flipping my template to make odd and even accent pieces. In the end 48 pieces of glass make up the 16 templates (note the labels). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598128720133-4LTPLBXNB3AOJOLVTYIC/10_foiling+set+up+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - After grinding all the pieces to clean up the edges they need to have the edges foiled. I like to do this at a high counter so I can move around and stand up straight. Foiling is my least favorite part of glass work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598129672620-18J1XAW0SL9UYCSPBPHU/11_foiling+tools+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - My fat fingers are not ideal for this step but I haven’t yet found a tool I like so it is just a matter of patiently applying the sticky backed copper foil to the edges, folding it over and pressing it tight with a burnishing fid (that white plastic stick in the picture). Again care must be taken to keep the pieces organized to preserve the color integrity of each petal and to minimize petal to petal changes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598129818610-VK0UDH3DQ54DC9UF2U8J/12_48+pieces+foiled+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - Eventually you end up with 48 pieces forming 8 even and 8 odd petals. At this point I usually cover them tightly with plastic bags to minimize oxidation of the foil and start fresh the next day. A half day of foiling is enough for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598130072842-H2IDPP2RVC8A1KS5JSZ2/13_soldering+jig+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - To prepare to solder I made up a jig to tightly contain a petal. Then I soldered a bead on the joints between the accent and the background on the back. I then carefully flip the petal and flat (tack) solder the front. In this way I reform 16 petals. With the front side down and the edge of each petal held tightly to its neighbor I then tack solder the petals together to form a fan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598130843132-OS7QOB1J3D8EOJL7XPTV/14_soldered+shade+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - The fan is then flipped and raised to form a cone (a very tricky process I’ll describe another time) and the last two edges soldered together. All the seams inside and out must now be soldered with nice beads. I find that soldering the vase cap on first helps keep everything round. In this case I also soldered a rounded lead U came around the bottom to form a nice finish look and protect the edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598131359795-A8OG4G22WQBZ1MESXR8G/15_inside+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - While most people will never see it soldering the inside as carefully as the out ensures the strength of the shade and makes for a professional job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598131528390-S18863MKA0460KMF6F05/16_black+patina+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - After the soldering is done the glass and solder joints (i.e. the whole project) must be carefully cleaned to remove all traces of solder flux and checked for any rough edges (which need to be touched up with a hot iron). In this case I wanted the solder to be black so I applied a black patina to chemically blacken the solder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598131828127-6P29K75QMIQCQE3UOAKV/17_black+patina+lighting+effect+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - One of the beauties of glass is seen here in these two shots (above and left) with different light showing the dramatic color changes. After cleaning up all the patina residue inside and out the finished shade is polished inside and out with glass polish. Note, in this case I also tinned the vase cap so it would blacken with the patina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598132198711-D6ODKB3Y47BLZ1REFAPP/18_.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - I built this shade with this base in mind and it looked pretty good. However I had a few similar sized bases to also try. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598132286696-V31V9EBFY8EO5BWF42E2/19_.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - I think Diana needs a more Tiffany style shade but I wanted to see if something in this size looks correct. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598132555219-TJMGVH5DBDT17J7IUU1Y/19_diana+trial+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - I was pleasantly surprised how nice she looks with this more arts and crafts style. Again note how the color changes depending on how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598132764788-GR81C9IWONJ8DOWI419N/21_final_base_unlit+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - In the end Pam liked this combination best. I think because she and our base provider put it together from some components he had around the shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1598133027141-A4XJ327MFZ5PKRQZSFJ0/20_final_base_lit+copy.JPG Blog - Stained Glass Lampshade - Here is the final version lit with an Edison style LED bulb which I find has two advantages. First much more light goes down than with a conventional LED. This illuminates the shade more completely but also provides more light where you need it for reading. Second the many simulated filaments are dispersed and each is dimmer so they don’t show so harshly through any clearer portions of the shade. All it needs now is some felt on the bottom and a home. https://www.johnrschott.com/blog/mosaicbuilding monthly 0.5 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152204119-8E4SGQR1SUZA812EYDIC/DSCN9337+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152204211-CY799RCXYMBV65RDZGWZ/DSCN9342+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152204828-1FPYSPDU91Z4OIDGOGCC/DSCN9344+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152204953-4LLVE6WYPXZHB5IHTYSN/DSCN9345+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152205383-J0UW67L0TZH42Y7L534J/DSCN9349+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152205851-C26V84L1OD8DWTDYG3QV/DSCN9363+2+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152206130-HVF0IO9GDMQDLS2GDJG4/DSCN9365+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152206400-FK846BWTZCMUYQVWQJTR/DSCN9371+copy.jpg Blog - Mosaic Building https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594152206600-CO5O5XK5WLP2GVO1KKL7/image16+copy.jpeg Blog - Mosaic Building https://www.johnrschott.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-15 https://www.johnrschott.com/jrs daily 1.0 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594063716467-5GKBUW5RFU7UMKU8101O/mysterious_square.jpeg Home Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594063834323-67THBE1OCAZS0IUX547I/display_table_square.jpeg Home Wood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594122252808-KMKV0V86DA5CK7W7V38Z/steve_floor_lamp_square.jpeg Home Wood-Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594122479330-W2JUL2DSPJ2CP4MSIR62/swing_square.jpg Home Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594122136463-UZPOGW6UA8OYNH4TSGVV/1st+snow+square.jpg Home Condo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594126437295-2QJ2XGUTO0Z6RL53TZEH/Wyldewood_sunset_Thanksgiving_2001_square.jpg Home Beach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596225574281-ZZ0ZD6VQWZUJFN7KLV89/DSC_1235+copy.JPG Home Stomping Ground https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1594122357752-0PV6PHFGC0SLUXYS4L5Y/SCHOTT_DENNIS_LANDSAT8+crop_square.JPG Home Professional https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/4575cfa0-b244-4bd7-8c34-911fbc1bd82d/DSCN6199+copy+2.JPG Home Schott Family & Reunion 2021 https://www.johnrschott.com/glass daily 0.75 2024-05-22 https://www.johnrschott.com/glass/art-deco monthly 0.5 2021-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995628601-L4CK28T5RTX5A6ZIDS1X/DSC_0025+copy.JPG Glass - Art Deco Girl on a wave (lit) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995628863-N17EVU1W5QB2LHTJ37BN/girl_on_wave.JPG Glass - Art Deco Girl on a wave (un-lit) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995629133-EFC8NGAC94651MG9SMY7/DSCN3192+copy.jpeg Glass - Art Deco Fan Lady (blue fan) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995626392-WPTKEZ12DY2XKCCR857X/DSCN7013+copy.jpg Glass - Art Deco Fan Lady - sunburst https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995626723-UH8VMY2BYNOVO3X5ZI93/DSCN7011+copy.jpg Glass - Art Deco Dancers (diamond accent) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995630809-T7KYWRRT992X21LKDBQS/DSC_0031+copy.jpeg Glass - Art Deco Dancers (rose accent) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1593995626207-E6T4ZIN1S50NOLVUA7MV/DSC_0070+copy.JPG Glass - Art Deco Flapper (rose accent) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1608134314664-A3AEL6AIE7CY6TMBJ5EB/pam_girl_on_wave.JPG Glass - Art Deco The first girl on a wave was a gift.

So George worked with John M. much of the week clearing up the debris. An HVAC contractor was installing a new furnace and duct work after the camp crew had gutted the main building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/2d7cea12-85f2-4853-ae59-6db05df16df6/IMG_0394.JPG SG Camp - May-2022 What have I gotten into. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/7e5998c2-8637-484b-b77f-005b379350b0/IMG_0384.JPG SG Camp - May-2022 Pam and Erin painted the doors hanging between the shop and the giant shade tree https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/2f489d8d-8f16-429a-b320-85c0724b4e04/IMG_0390.JPG SG Camp - May-2022 Jesse and Stephen getting started https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/feaddec3-a5f6-4794-b667-7fc7d4f237aa/DSCN7120.JPG SG Camp - May-2022 Front of the White house showing some of the stabilization work that has been done over the winter and early spring.

So the first job was to square up the space where the counters would sit by cutting away the ends of the new boards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/20d4e136-dd5f-4b19-b680-7d7e890164a1/IMG_1044.jpg SG Camp - May 2025 George had built a small barn door to cover the dish sink window just to the left of the new counter. So, the new counter/sink/faucet all had to sit low enough to let the barn door slide over it. So, step one was to take a little off the bottom of the two base cabinets that made up the ends of the counter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/507caedb-0395-4e86-bd81-7676dd907202/IMG_3446.jpg SG Camp - May 2025 The drain lines from the ice maker had to feed into the sink drain plumbing. Heatlh code says you have to have a funnel drain (i.e. an anti backup function to avoid contamination of the ice bin). A good idea but who knew. Getting from the rather low drain point on the ice chest to the drain under the new sink and including the air gap was a bit tricky. Three designs later it worked. Plumbing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/e555d19c-0983-43b6-a6ec-efa62614dd78/IMG_3614.jpg SG Camp - May 2025 George wanted a nice butcher block counter so, we cut it to size, cut the sink hole and Pam finished it all along with her stair job. Note the sink has a nice high goose neck for filling pitchers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/6389b701-712e-44a7-8bbf-1417b274fae9/IMG_3461.jpg SG Camp - May 2025 The center of the counter had a custom built face panel, door, and floor to accommodate all the strange plumbing and leave lots of storage. All pocket hole joinery to keep things moving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/ba979035-f985-40d2-86c7-856caaf3871b/IMG_3462.jpg SG Camp - May 2025 Final product.

The 4 degree water sinks forming a barrier that prevents the warmer typically more polluted water from mixing and being diluted by the mid lake water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1595881094637-WU7OIABWB90V5ZYFDYNK/Landsat_color_5-24-1985+copy.jpg Professional - Landsat Enhanced true color image taken at the same time as the thermal image showing how the turbid spring run-off waters are trapped in-shore of the thermal bar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1595881090507-E5E4CSAKQC9FH2SU60I7/John+in+the+Kayak+copy.JPG Professional - Landsat John taking temperature measurements of Lake Erie as a Landsat satellite passes overhead collecting imagery.

The boxes on the thermal image map out the area covered by the aerial thermal and photographic sensors we flew under HCMM. On the IFYGL and Skylab programs we saw hints of the thermal bar in Lake Ontario in the visible bands but with HCMM we could clearly map the bar and verify the correlation between water temperature and water quality at the bar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596122005594-RCFB4D9X4TYKLZPZXNQE/laser_beacon+copy.jpg Professional - Calspan Skylab laser beacon, Ken Piech was the investigator on the first Skylab project and some how got us involved with analyzing the images Skylab astronauts were taking of a laser shot at them from the ground. In pre-GPS days this was envisioned to be a way to geolocate images. It turned out the pointing was poor and the spots so big on the image that the geolocation value was limited. Analyzing the size, shape and intensity did provide insight into atmospheric scattering which would be a major part of many remote sensing studies. Although these were Ken's projects they did get me my first trip to NASA Houston to brief the sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596121954604-75FRP4MDMUH6UXSEMQ29/laser_beacon_image+copy.jpg Professional - Calspan True color image taken by Skylab astronauts of the laser beacon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596122902682-XS52U81CP8KKBC3DKHGY/heatloss.jpg Professional - Calspan True color aerial image (left) of a portion of the Syracuse University campus including the edge of the stadium (pre-dome)and a nightime thermal image (white-hot) of the same region taken on a cold winter night.

Not as he pointed out to make any money but because I was young enough to get a good career boost from the visibility it would provide. So in 1993/94 I took a sabbatical, moved the family to the lake and wrote what became "The Image Chain Approach" in 1997 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596057422187-H6UOESX1BM6CCWXWUHD2/image_chain2.jpg Professional - Publications A decade later the first book was getting dated, the field had grown and I'd learned a lot. In 2007 a second edition came out. It was nearly twice the length covering the field in more detail and much of the newer science. It emphasized the science of remote sensing over the applications to forestry, agriculture etc. which was common to most of the other books available at the time. This had become RIT's niche. We focused on training the scientists and engineers who would build the analytical tools and instruments that other scientists would use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596057422412-10CTRWC3IW55FRGL0KWH/polarimetricRS.jpg Professional - Publications I periodically taught short course for industry and in about 2005 was asked to teach a fairly extensive course on polarimetric remote sensing. I said yes having worked with several doctoral students on the topic and knowing there was a book available to draw on. Well the book wasn't suitable and there is nothing like trying to teach a topic to show you how much you don't know. I ended up spending a great deal of time gathering and organizing the course. When I was done I thought what a waste to have someone else have to go through all this effort down the road. Thus in 2009 a short book came out that still gets a lot of use because there is not much competition. https://www.johnrschott.com/prof/misi monthly 0.5 2020-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/1596330805117-B58V6CU3M3BKX05IP9QD/HSI_MISI.jpg Professional - Modular Imaging Spectrometer Instrument (MISI) Hyperspectral Imaging concept illustrated using a MISI image of Irondequoit bay.

We both like to cook with gas but with that not an option we replaced the range with an induction unit that Jesse helped get installed while we were still at the lake (before we even took ownership). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/45ef8089-7226-48f6-9e80-101ca20a8fca/new_drywall_jesse.JPG Condo - 501 After adding a bunch of surfaces to attach drywall to, I helped Jesse hang the drywall.

The fire was caused by candles melting down igniting a coffee table and then the TV on the wall above. The flooring was damaged and the fire department knocked a hole in the wall and ceiling to make sure nothing was burning in the non flamable walls. This is about what the place looked like when we took over (except I quickly added a box for a ceiling fixture over what will be the dinning room table and a new wall switch while things were accessible). At this point smoke damage largely cleaned and a coat of sealer on all walls and ceilings to mitigate odor (no residual smell). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/d61cfc71-99bf-4c15-8c33-d30a9e9840dd/headboard_staining.JPG Condo - 501 Pam stained and finished the headboard as she does for all my woodworking projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/0764eae6-5470-4a69-883c-0990cec5b4f2/shower%26tile_issues.JPG Condo - 501 Bath before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02076fa052970d1ca3afc7/5206e16e-4724-4377-a093-543b5adc3feb/kitchen%26lights.JPG Condo - 501 We added new LED track lights to light up all the work surfaces, new dimmers and GFCI outlets, regrouted, sealed the grout and Pam painted walls and ceiling.
