Ben Sherman. Glass Gilding NYC

[DAVE SMITH]

I was recenly sent an email from Ben Sherman in NYC to gild some windows, I could not make the trip due to commitments here so I passed the work onto Bob Gomache.

Bob did a great job.

here is there link blog about our craft... hopefully these films will get out to the write people and keep this craft alive...



Hello Dave
Hope all is well - I just wanted to thank you for putting us in touch with Bob.
He was a real pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job on our holiday window.

We made a little video of the result and posted it today on our website/twitter/you tube channel
I hope you don't mind but I also decided to name check you and link to your video too as we wanted to salute your amazing talents.

Lovely worker.

Hi Dave, thanks for sharing with us. To bad you had to pass on a trip to the states.

Bob, nice job and for those of us who don't know you personally at least we now know what a dapper guy you are. That has to be the best holiday 'window splash' I've ever seen.

All the best for the holiday season

But Dave, you didn't specify it had to be done with a "Smith Tip"(copyright) - then you could have used the video in your adverts...

Nice to see the Wehrung & Bilmeier (spelling?) box - are they still in business? Old-time Chicago goldbeaters

Hi Guys
Sorry I've been MIA lately.........been busy doing windows all over the place!

Thanks so much for the thumbs up! Thanks for hooking me up Dave, your the man!
Next time I'm accross the pond we'll have to get together and tip a few pints! (thanks Rod)

The people at the Ben Sherman company are really cool and are into the classic look!
I had to distress the gild to their liking. I left alot of open areas and cracks in the gild intentionally!

It was a fun project. I am thankful, and grateful for the opportunity to represent our craft!!! It was an honor!

I was shocked when they mentioned they were going to video tape it, but it all worked out.
They actually suited me up in Ben Sherman clothes for the shoot!!! How cool is that!
