How to lead windows

I was hoping you might cover lead nippers or pliers. I’ve been looking at the “Fan Out” lead nippers.

This really made me nostalgic. I started making stained glass in the mid-1970s when I lived within walking distance of the Chrysler Art Museum, where there was a fabulous display of Tiffany pieces. I remember seeing a fire screen in a local shop and being appalled by the price. Since it was clear that I was never going to be able to afford someone else's work, I bought some glass and a cutter and a simple DIY book on how to use them. The book, being old, didn't mention grinders but did cover how to use the grozing notches on the old glass cutters, so that's what I started doing, much like a "nibbler" takes small bites out of sheet metal. Much later I learned about grozing and running pliers, which really made things easier. Weirdly, some of my best work (tightest fit, for copper foil pieces) are on early pieces that I made before I owned a grinder. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere.
