Ornate English Gypsy Glass Panels - step by step

[DAVE SMITH]

Thanks guy's! Well as I explained it's not a very detailed step by step, it does miss out on some info like acid times, mixing up silver and brilliant cutting techniques but it basically shows how I made these panels . it was a bit of learning curve for me also with new approaches.
Glad you enjoyed them though. I will leave it to someone else now to do a step by step!.
See you
Dave

Easy, Smith, easy.
The first a thing step-by-step needs is to take things easy.
That nice project went by so fast, we'll be hungry again, like eatin chinese food.
Maybe, Mr Morton can teach you a few more things, about takin things easy.

Now, listen outta your good ear now, Blake. Keep these step by steps comin, but don't rush them.
Heard an idea that sounded pretty good... a drug store, built around Machine.
Paints a pretty picture.

I might start stretchin my legs soon, and maybe get back to...
no hurry, the important thing is, there's a forum waitin.

Well Tony,
as you can see on this picture, Dave is rebuilding his shop so you can learn all the tricks of the trade at his extra deluxe workshops.
I know for sure he will be glad to invite you soon and teach his magic.



But Dave,
Even then you are not finished!
You, we and I want to see the icing on the cake. Try to get the pictures when the panels are installed.
Like the panels in your own car, the Torquay pub etc. they really come to live when installed.

I've seen Dave brilliant cut- and had a go myself- It 'aint easy folks!

You gonna do cutting workshops in the future Dave?

[DAVE SMITH]

I won'nt be doing full on Brilliant cutting workshops Wayne as it is to long a process. I thought it was easy to cut but it's the practice that counts with cutting plus you need that sort of work to keep on top of the skill.
Anyone can do it but guidance is needed. I went to Stuart Norton's in Newcastle for 3 days,he pointed me in the right direction ,the rest as I said comes with practice. The wheels also are hard to find.
Just putting together some dates for gold workshops here soon which will have a brilliant cut v cut and a round puntie cut into the design which is easy and quick to achieve. they look great in the centres of letters and chipping around them.
