Default Stained glass/leaded window repair

Hi, can anyone point me at info about repairing a leaded window?

They sell everything, inc. books, videos and courses. If you're near
Bristol, try Creative Glass Guild too (Bedminster)

Generally damage is repairable, but for age wear the whole lot tends
to start failing and it's often quicker to replace all the lead and
rebuild the whole pane. Leaded glass is very quick to work (far
quicker than copper foil or zinc came), but you do need the right
approach and some obscure tools. Fine stuff for DIY, but read up
beforehand.

Glass cutting is its own joy.
