A nigger would throw a brick through that without a second thought.
In a town near me, there are several old churches that had beautiful stained glass windows, though not nearly as intricate as this one. After several of windows had bricks thrown through them, they had to put plexiglass covers over them. Over time, the sun has baked the plexiglass to an ugly yellow hue. Its to the point where you can barely see the colors of the window from the outside and even from the inside the colors get a piss color tint to them like its a video game from the late 2000s.

Maybe lose the plexi glass and use some sort of bird netting similar to how baseball stadium protects you from a foul ball or bird netting over garden. Should let sunlight through but block impact from rocks.
or try TND.
edit: acrylic glass is actually very expensive these days. I think plexi glass costs much more than real glass.

Toast message
If you look closely at this example, like any other, there are tons of imperfections. You don't need to be very good to make stained glass. Just persistent.
the paintings are exceptional. It takes 10k hours to develop craftsmanship at this level. it's quite beautiful. a treasure of white excellence.
2. How do you modify the frame to hold each piece of glass in place? Adhesive? Tin? some sort of pliable metal?
You scratch a line with something harder than glass (not all steels are) and then you snap along it. It takes a lot of hope and desperation to get it right, and it doesn't always go your way.
If it's a small piece of glass you need removed you can sand it off or grind it away.
Make sure you're not using tempered glass. That stuff will just shatter into a thousand pieces when it is scratched enough.
> how to hold it together
Lead. The secret is lead. It's soft enough that it will bend to conform to the glass, but solid enough it will hold its shape. You can also melt drops of it to fill in cracks, or to weld corners together.
I believe they extrude or shape lead into H-shapes so that the glass can fit inside.
From the videos I've seen the artist lays out how they want the piece to look, then they form the lead structure to hold the glass in place, then they assemble it piece by piece, welding lead pieces together as needed with a flame. If you don't have a flame you can use a hot metal poker. Lead has a really low melting point.
