Nice video....I see you've cleaned up some.
Now a Metalica soundtrack might have been appropriate...

New York's alright if you like saxaphones....

AHO!

Mr.Smith,

If you had read the description you would have noticed the credits.

“A fast pace tour from www.customglasssigns.com showing how a gold leaf gilded glass sign is made.It also features samples of antique and contemporary glass signs featuring artists Roderick Treece , Larry White . Dave Smith , George Brooks.”

Don’t miss the disclaimer at the end

“No Smith Tip was used in the making of this video.”

Thanks guy's,I think?
You don't need much hair when you got a great head like mine.

Doug,Thanks for some of those photos!

Credit for how great the video came out really go to my friend Renol http://www.renolphoto.

He is a professional skate board photographer we met while in Mexico.He now lives in Tiahujna,Mexico so he comes by alot.For those of you who love photography he has all the latest best Nikon 400 gear and is constantly firing away with it.I think the video clip of gilding the "Glass Sign" was 2000 still frames that he put together.He also did the photography for the last studio concert I posted.

I am hoping to put together another one about custom mirrors soon.

Great Comeback! :lol:

It was great to see you, even if it was just on screen. I hope someday I can dirty up some glass with you again. :) Your shop looks like a great place to spend some time absorbing ideas!
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

Leo,
Due to the fact that I never properly learned to use a quill to paint a thick and thin letter I am use a LINER.I paint all the way around the letter and then come back and fill in the middles.
