Detail of a stained glass window under construction. Showing using masonite board and aluminum pins.

Video shows a partially assembled stained glass window using the lead came technique.
Pin use defined: The bench tops throughout my studio are layered with 1/4 "brown board" masonite. I use 1/4" instead of 1/8" that has a bounce and can warp.
The working draft (cartoon) I build on is actually the original copy and preservation is a desired outcome. Using pins over horse nails you don't destroy the draft and pins hold incredibly well into masonite with a light tap of a glazing knife or hammer. Big plus is the bench top is hardly impacted by using pins and you can actually use the same bench for new drafting!

Pins also allow you to go directly on a lead line for true accuracy.
Easy to get into workbench top with just a tap or two.
Remove pins with a slight twist when done or as you move along.
Did I mention I love using pins? :)

Aluminum Push Pins are on my list of "endorsed items" for stained glass studio use.
