Yes. I can run a seam of glazing compound/window glass putty in real easy motion and do a professional job. I can run a beautiful seam to soder two parts of a galvanized tin rain gutters together to hang on your hours. Most windows don't use putty anymore. Most rain gutters are plastic and glue or another substance is used.

I can make stained glass windows using lead cames and solder. A few years ago, i forgot my keys, and had to break a small glass panel in my front door to get into the house. Rather than getting a glazier out to fix the window, I went to my workshop, got some left over bits of coloured glass, cut them, leaded them, cemented them and made a new window, then fixed it in place!
