It's such a pleasure to see such a talented guy and take a peek into his world. Thanks for posting Dom.
Wow, how wonderful to see a true craftsman. Also, John Mayer is a craftsman + Bernie Marsden.....what a journey !!! Thanks for sharing
Hello Dom,
Many thanks to you and David for this video... enjoyable viewing...
Take care.
Paul,,
What a marvellous video, really great to watch! Thank you Dom and Dave :-)
Wow, what a very clever man. Absolutely love the design he did for you 👏
Thank you Dom,
This has really has been quite emotive watch for me.
My father worked in a factory in East London creating and making this wonderful and fascinating work.
He worked through WW2 in a retained occupation bevelling glass to make gun sights for submarines, tanks, and all manner of such item's.
Sadly he died quite young, but not before filling our house with bevelled glass in all colours and mirrors. Filling our house with light and fond memories.
Thank you so much Dave Smith.😊
Has to be the most enjoyable twenty five minutes I've ever spent watching a video. A really talented guy. Thanks for taking us along to see
Dave's awesome skills.
I'm definitely going to be watching this video again and again.
What a lovely way to spend half an hour on a Sunday evening. Thank you for sharing 🌞
Excellent presentation 🙏.....lets hope that craft never dies 🙏✨🥇
What a wonderful studio. And an amazing artisan, some lovely work and old pieces in there. Good video Dom.
Fantastic, and what a logo, he’s done you proud. It’s a very Rocketman and Metropolis style meets 1940 machine tool.
So talented! The designs alone are brilliant but to replicate it in glass is amazing.
Brilliant absolutely Brilliant has to be in the top 10 utube video's. Many thanks Dom.
Welcome to my hone Town Dominic. Hope you enjoyed your stay. Fantastic craftsmanship. Amazing mirrors 🪞
I absolutely love seeing people that are good with there hands . Absolutely amazing 👏
We can't let these crafts die
Wow Dave, your quite the artist/craftsman! Much love, much respect.
I'm ashamed to say I've seen that album cover a thousand times without really giving it a second look, I will certainly give it due respect in future. Many thanks for
show casing this man's extreme talent..........amazing !!!
I bet you’ll appreciate it even more now! Thanks so much
Gosh… I was given a couple of t shirts with the Beckham Miami logo on, when I was working in Miami a few years back…and now I know who designed it… amazing❤
Wonderful, little video. Makes me want to go back an another course. I went back in 2016. Dave is a lovely guy.
The fact that David designed a custom typeface for Mayer’s album is the sign of a true professional. Incredible talent and skill. I’ve always been fascinated by gilding; I guess I’m going to have to take Dave’s class now.
Dave is a national treasure, I took his course last year, and he is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.
Wow , what a talented guy. Great video Dom. Thanks
Spot On Dom!! "What a guy" Thank You 😀
I paint reverse on plexi, with clear texture and metallic paint, occasionally with brass leafing. Doing something that big is daunting! Gorgeous work.
Unbelievably talented I wish I had that skill.
It’s always a joy to see a true master of their chosen craft speak so modestly of their achievements and skills. Thanks Dom. I’m now off to watch his videos 👍🏽
You’ll love them!! Thank you
Wow Dom, this guy is from another World. I watched your video on Sunday in awe.
I have watched more of David's videos. Its just unbelievable how much time and skill goes into these pieces of art. And they're re glass !!!!!
Dave is the best you can get.
Amazing! Hard to comprehend it’s done by human hands.
A fascinating video Dom and what a nice and very talented man. Kind regards, Richard.
Dave Smith is a master of his craft. Thanks, Dom for introducing him to us. (Also, I'm so glad that he's inserted the apostrophe in "Dom's" - it's been driving me nuts).
Haha! So many people have a problem with that! Dave is clearly better at English than me..
WOW. Respect 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dom this is truly on of the most interesting and inspiring pieces of content that I have ever watched. I hope you continue to feature different trades and artists. Great Content!!!
I absolutely love that these old skills are being kept alive. It so reminds me of the type of glasswork that existed on pub doors etc... I would love to have glass panels on the doors in my house with this type of design e.g., living room door as snug etc...
David's skill just blows you away!
Absolutely wonderful. Amazingly talented man.
Totally brilliant. Loved every second.
Amazing...
My new favourite video. Loved watching this
There is a story for everything, very true Dominic. listening to the stories are just as interesting as the piece itself. What a legacy to leave so others can follow. Its documented and will not be lost like it sadly has with other experts in their craft.
Brilliant. Blown away by the talent that he possesses. And a right nice gentleman to boot. Thanks for sharing Dom!
What a great video - two peas in a pod! What a nice guy and humble too - just like you Dom. Enjoy the new olde graphic
What a guy. Another stunning craftsman. Skill is not dead! Les
WOW! Just wow.......
Thanks dom, great video, wish i had 25% of Dave's skill.
Absolutely wonderful video Dom. Thanks for taking the time to make it. 👍
What an amazing talent beautiful workmanship.
So fascinating what an opportunity to enlarge your skill base; thank you for sharing it. much appreciated!
Great job guys😊
Wow. I can't tell if Dave's skill informs the art or his art informs the skill. Either way what a talent and such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for letting me look over your shoulder Dom.
Brilliant!
I learned a new word, ameliorator, make things better.. David does some amazing work! 😊👍
Outstanding skill. Wonderful work.
This is an amazing video, Dom. What a talented guy he is. The work he produces is stunning.
Perfect mirage of art and craft to make amazing things . Great to see, thanks Dom for showing us this. Have sat in meny a Victorian pub and admired the beautiful glass, but had no idea that it can still be produced. What a remarkable artist.
Dom your at your best when you interview highly skilled crafts men and women . BBC take note.
Wow Dom so interesting and what a gifted man Dave is, thanks for posting Dom
Thanks for watching
I’m only 2 and a half minutes in, my gosh what beautiful pieces, and what a wealth of knowledge David is. Stunning.
Wow! Just wow
Could listen to dave for hours
Pure Genius .....
Absolutely beautiful work Mr. Smith does. A great video with something for everyone.
Wow! Amazing talent. I'm just getting in to sign writing / painting and loved looking at the old design books. 👍🎨
That was absolutely amazing, all this fabulous artistic work! Not a computer in sight ! Thanks for that! David and Dom
Woah. What incredible talent. I bet he dreams back to front sometimes. And what a treat to have your logo designed by him. 👏
You certainly have some very clever people on your blogs Dom,keep them coming.
Stunning work.
I've been following Dave on Instagram for years now so it was a delight to see this video. Truly one of the most talented people out there.
What a gentleman and artist, I'm in awe of his talent, to be able to create such incredible pieces wow, gobsmacked!
Just brilliant! Thank you both. That album cover is amazing.
Characteristic of a major talent is humility and love for what they do. You lads are off the charts. Thank you, take care and cheers.
Had to look up 'ameliorator'....perfect description for Dom.
Goodness me, what a talented man Dave is. Thanks for showcasing his work Dom. Amazing!
Absolutely fascinating. Hope to see more of him on your RUclips channel
What a fantastic insight into a really interesting traditional craft. Your series of videos Dom are really inspirational. Making people aware of these traditional skills is so important to keep them alive.
Thank you Dom for taking so much trouble. It will be really interesting to see what Dave comes up with for the Ranalah logo.
Wow! Mind well and truly blown. What a pleasure to see such skill.
Oh wow! I love all your videos Dom (it’s become a bit of weekly YT treat). But this one is very special. I’m now working as a Signwriter so I found this particularly inspiring. Thanks for the link BTW. I’ve now got all of Dave’s videos to delve into too. Can’t wait to see your new logo on some special channel merch - I’ll be first in the queue. I reckon you should put it on a special etched pint glass. 🍺👍
Fascinating wook
Spectacular! The first time I've experienced the term 'grok':
Grok Definition & Meaning -
: to understand profoundly and intuitively. Grok was introduced in Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land.
A Feast for the Eyes! What a gift! Thank you Dominic! Profound Goodness!
What is David's Favorite Tool?
What an incredible artisan!
Wow, such a talented artist. I loved this video.
Brilliant and breathtakingly awesome work. Cheers gents.
What an amazing video post Dom, Love your new Label.
Great video, great content Dom. Extremely interesting. It’s great knowing some artisans are still keeping the old skills going.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, what a talent!
Stunning works of art. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, I love it. Well done once again Dom.
Dom... you bring us some cool stuff!
Really fascinating, thanks for making and sharing this, Dom. What an incredibly talented man.
Great craftsman, amazing!
Incredible workmanship. I have always wanted to to something like this but I tend to be a bit heavy handed and my handwriting his atrocious. Great work.
Intriguing, so many techniques I have not see before. Calming but terrifying at the same time. Imagine putting weeks of work into a piece and suddenly the glass decides to break!
My two favourite people, one day I will do a course with dave Smith.
slightly off topic Dom Tyrrell's Classic Workshop has a tour of Brooklands and it has a Ranalah in it.
Thanks I’ve just watched it, great tour!
Definitely want to watch some more of David making some bright work. Minus the sound maybe...🙉
Hi Dom, Very enjoyable, just mind blowing, loved it, (am to old to try hands shake to much) All the best Brian 😃
National treasure dave is
still lots of stuff like that in pubs across the UK , and now we know how its made 👍😊a lot more interesting than the computer generated stuff isnt it 🙂
I've always wanted a gold plated No.2
11:47 I'm relieved the spelling mistake was corrected - I always feel a little sad when I see a 3m sign on the back of a bus with a glaring spelling mistake in it
Now that's the business....
