6 small for £13.25. At that price they are not an option. Is there
anywhere you can buy copper strip and make your own? I am aware that copper
is expensive but I hadn't expected it cost this much!
I have a recollection of watching a demo in a crafy shop where somebody
used copeer tape bent round the edge of the glass which was then
soldered the copper-edged glass panels together, vaguely in the manner
of stained glass.
Perhaps a hobby store might have something suitable.
