Cool Design.

Ditto. What are you going to put inside the panel frames?

Awwshucks, thanks guys. The customer has some old English 'drop' glass
which she's having cut to fit and a few pieces of black bevelled
glass. It's after a door of a pub she frequented when still 'just a
wee lass'.

During assembly, the 23 ga pin-nailer made its money back in a hurry.
It's so sweet.. toss a small bar clamp on the mullion, a drop of glue
and a gentle squeeze, and pop, pop a couple of pins in the coping from
the back. I used some 3/4" ones. Kinda funny to be standing there with
10,000 nails in your shirt pocket. The ideal tool for that job alone.
I would use that method even if the job wasn't going to get painted.
The 'holes' from the nailer are so inconspicuous as to be virtually
non-existent.

But, alas the project comes to a temporary halt as I am fixing to
depart on a venture with a buddy of mine. First Federated Tools (David
Eisan) in London, then Lee Valley and All-in-One tools in Mississauga,
then food at my favourite mexican joint in Toronto, then, at Massey
Hall, the farwell concert of one of my all-time favourite bands, The
Rheostatics. (Regional hits like 'Claire' and 'Bad Time To Be Poor.'
'Record Body Count' was another.

Should be quite a weekend.
