Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, making a holder for a glass plate repair part 1 and 2

This is part 1 and 2 of 2 videos. These 2 videos show making a frame so I can repair a thick, beveled piece of plate glass that is the front of a grandfather clock door. The video cut off and I restarted it to show the complete holder. Some of the work takes off-camera since I wasn’t able to keep an eye on the screen and drive screws, etc. The final part where I put some wood glue on the 2 small pieces of wood is to hold the wood as a shim for a small piece of the glass. I will put the glass back together with glass lacquer

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, fitting glass back together

These videos show fitting thick, beveled glass from the front of a grandfather clock back together with special glass lacquer. I had the glass flipped backward in the special holder I built and it took a couple of tries to get it in the right position. I have plastic wrap on the wood in the frame where the glass goes but since I had the glass flipped it won’t do the job I intended which was to block the mugiurushi from getting on the wood base. The camera cut out and I had to restart it which is why there are 2 videos of the same process.
