This will make for very fitting glass panes for every builder who cares about realistic detailing and who dislikes to put the vanilla glass panes to use in Middle-earth, like me. :) To me, it doesn't have to be the multifaceted glass as proposed here. Just addition of frames would already make quite a difference to the looks and feel imo.

Thanks. I agree that it wouldn't necessarily need to be multifaceted, but I have always wanted to make a church/chapel/temple thing that has stained glass pictures, without them being 20 feet tall!

Note that instead of clay, I would prefer to use bronze ingots for the framing. A straightforward recipe would give 8 frames for 8 bronze ingots. Bronze isn't the ideal material to use, but it's available and the peoples of Middle-earth can be assumed to know how to process and apply it. We just don't have zinc or lead in the game. That makes a ton of sense. I'll change it. That would also give another decent use for bronze.

''I recall a suggestion thread in which I pointed out glassworks weren't that common and my thought was to actually rid the (large) ordinary glass panes as in the early middle ages glass simply wasn't a very common resource, let alone for glass sheets. Funny that since then, wine glasses were introduced for the masses ... and drinking horns.'' That makes a certain amount of sense, but I would still like to stick with my suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestions and support!
