Rebuilt Leaded Glass Windows

My father has almost finished rebuilding the leaded glass windows for the great room. They turned into quite a project. The leaded glass was soldered where it was weak and the frames were built up so they could be inserted into the windows on either side of the fireplace.

Here are the frames after they were built up. The bottom one has a "skin" on it to hide how the frame was extended.

And here is the matching window after the "skin" has been applied.
