Station canopy reproductions?

[pbjwilson]

Are there any reproductions being made of this type of station canopy? Or has anyone of you scrathbuilt one of these? I' m thinking you could get some glass cut to size no problem. But how would you construct the supports and channels for the glass to sit in? Any Ideas.

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about.

Paul,
Have you looked into the lead glass making kits? I think you will find the items you need to make the channels and you could build a support system using wood. I am planning on doing a similar station, but have not put the plans together. I am also toying with the idea of a rounded style archway made out of soda bottle plastic.

Paul : I often thought I could use K&S brass channel for that very station idea. You may have to do a lot of fabricating, but it can be all soldered together & make the glass from a piece of Lexan. K&S makes a lot of different size channel & of course tubing. You can put one size of tubing inside another size, & adjust height & a little hit of solder, same as you can with the box pieces & channell.
Just my thought,
Thanks,

Didn't Pride Lines offer a reproduction of these items fairly recently? For all I know, they still do.
