Image 1 — First real piece. From this dryfit, what of these should I recut or refoil to get better fits? Or will the solder fill it in without making it look too messy? Ignore the middle of the top flower, I just dropped it and need my wife's small hands to grab it from behind the table. TIA!

Hey all! My father made stained glass stuff for pretty much my entire life growing up. I'm in my mid 30s now, he approaching 80, and about 3 years ago he asked me if I wanted all of his stuff since he doesn't use it anymore. I said yeah, the wife and I bought our first home, and I've finally gotten around to organizing the garage to the point that I can have a workspace. A few weekends ago he drove up to visit and spend the weekend teaching me. We got as far as cutting them all out. Last weekend I went and recut the really bad pieces and last night I just finished foiling them all.

We've had a distant relationship over the years and this is probably the last thing he'll ever teach me and is the only thing we've ever made together so I'd really like it to turn out well. I know it won't be professional quality since it's my first project but it's more sentimental and I want to say I gave it my all.

Thanks a ton!
