Once upon a time I tried leadlighting as a sideline (what you call  
stained glass but isn't). Except that the cost and effort of making  
certain types like lampshades was soooo much lower in Asia so that  
was the end of that and the only survivors are the truly, highly  
skilled doing commission work and churches. And they struggle as the  
bread and butter stuff disappears overseas. Ah well, try something else.
The cost and effort where? No point in making a beautiful product if  
no-one can afford it or can see that value in it.
Otherwise we'd all have Leicas and Wetzlar would be making some great  
products.
