    My god. I’ve just witnessed a true artisan and craftsman create something utterly extraordinary. I was almost tearful as it was lifted into place on the wall, I really felt the countless hours of impossibly intricate work coming to fruition. A glorious, glorious piece of work and a wonderfully made film documenting it.

    I can't really explain why but I'm fighting back tears after watching this.
    Dave creates such incredibly beautiful glass artwork, I am so envious of his skill and craftsmanship.
    Another great film too.
    Obviously I'm now a haircut at L&B just so I can get to see the piece up close!

      Been in the sign business for 32 years and I have only seen this type of work done a few times I can tell you it's like looking back in time when things were made to be beautiful even the smallest most insignificant items were made to be beautiful. I started hand lettering 3 decades ago and haven't picked up a brush in maybe 20 years a few days ago I got an order for a hand done sign and I can't wait to put paint to brush.

    What I wouldn't do to just spend a day watching you work your incredible artistic magic. This is a breath-taking art form that I fear may vanish without craftsman like yourself and a small handful who refuse to let this unique skill slip into the past forever. You are truly a master craftsman and artistic genius, it's an honour to have had a mere glimpse into your world and the pain-staking process it takes to create your masterpieces. Please keep creating and passing on this knowledge to the next generation. I'm embarrassed to say that I got misty-eyed witnessing this awe-inspiring piece of timeless art come to life, which echoes the unparalleled elegance, class and opulence of a distant, bygone Golden Age era which I find myself often longing for and even mourning, as if I had actually lived to see the splendours with my own eyes. A time when the standards were so much higher and such artistic beauty was almost common place, as opposed to a breath-taking rarity in a classless, disposable, fast food world that has lost so much of its charm and artistic integrity. I think I was born at least a century or so too late.
    Bless you and all you do!!
    Warmest wishes,

  • @RetroBoy2009

    That was so beautifully done. The documentary & filmmaking was excellent. Nicely paced and interestingly shot.
    But, that gilded mirror piece is just astounding. Such intricacy. I had to keep stopping the video to take it in.
    Every part of it is exquisite.
    I am a Signwriter - hand letterer of old. So I know what I'm looking at. We did a couple of gold leaf mirrors in trade school, back in the day.
    I'd love to re-learn some of those techniques.
    A thing of beauty forever.

    My most humble respect to you Sir Mr David A Smith ....your name itself is a legendary and synonymous to the work and art you create . I've never seen anything like this , we have glass etching and metal etching back here in Bangalore , India, but this type of work and craftsmanship needs recognition, sir I hope you have an apprentice who is as dedicated as you , only hope I had a chance to learn this craft under you ...I would drop anything and everything to be at your disposal . Thank you very much Sir for sharing this video , you are a rare Gem .

    I will say one thing about gilded signs and that is that when they are done correctly and with skill they are very beautiful works of art. I have been wondering if these techniques could be done using sheets of transparent aluminum.
