I have never seen this done before. I just stumbled upon this video, I'm glad I did. What an art form! I dread to think how many years it takes to be such a great sign maker.
Back in the day from layout to gold leaf it was all by hand. I am empressed with making the glue for the chipped glass. Much skill required and a job well done. I have to say I miss it. It’s good to see this kind of work still having a market. Good for you guys!!!
I saw a dude making hand painted pub mirrors, some 8' wide, beautiful logos all painted in reverse, then mirrored over paint. Absolutely incredible to see the artistry. Sadly, they only lasted a few months when the entire complex was destroyed by fire, along with hand built furniture and fittings, years of work gone in a few hours. And I think it was an insurance job.. bastards!
I'm surprised and impressed how precise and repeatable the edge scalloping is. Glue chipping is a fascinating process, as is gilding. The sign turned out beautiful, a work of art.
I am completely blown away...First I didn't know this type of sign existed and second the amazing artistry it took to achieve this this sign. I say "bravo" for such incredible craftmanship!!!
Beautiful work. The problem is finding someone who appreciates the fine artistry of signmaking. Then have them pay what it's worth. Most people are ignorant of the fact that. Your first impression of a business is the SIGN. You could gave the best products, if your sign looks like CRAP. Then that's what people will expect of your product. If the sign looks like things sign, then people will know this owner takes pride in his product and it must be a good place to eat or visit. The sign guy is also the last guy a business owner will call. He/she will get everything, then at the last moment they will call and say I need it right away!! That's when I say FORGEDABOUTIT!!!! GREAT VIDEO GOD BLESS EVERYONE
That's unbelievably beautiful!!! I make stained glass and watched this for the gold leafing part because of a new project I'm working on. This was such exquisite work! I totally appreciate all the steps and hard work you put into this awesome piece of art!😊

Fascinating! I was truly mesmerized at your glass work and leaf techniques. I've done a little reverse lettering on glass (car windows, doors at our church, etc.) and even attempted gold leaf with sizing (using imitation gold leaf) but I've never seen this type of craftsmanship done before...truly amazing! Can't believe a guy below said it was "entry-level simple stuff" - where's his video?
I love these video showing the process of making these incredible classic designs I saw in America.. I wish these videos could be in 4K HDR.. all the godlen sheen, and the details in the glass textures
@@TimFleenor well, lol, in this case it's not as if he designed the font or never had hundreds of examples to reference to. i don't think anyone is knocking the end result or even that he *might* be able to do it by hand, but, really, there's not a lot of 'amazing talent' involved, it's mostly several little jobs akin to entry-level factory work. sure, someone did the design probably on adobe and that requires some skill that has to be learned. in other words, in the actual manufacture of the piece i don't see anything here that can't be learned inside a week aside from the design work on the computer. were you a professional of the craft, i doubt you'd view the lettering as 'hand-made,' either. again, it's a great result, but it's not all hand made. as with most 'factory' made things using simple processes, we don't go around calling our cars hand-made, either. is your computer hand-made? you wouldn't call it that, but people used their hands putting it together, and the circuit boards could conceivably be done by hand, so..
I'm totally going to try this, on a smaller scale tho, lol. Gotta practice those scalloped edges too, that's way cool! Need that tool to add to my tool collection as I'm a woman of many talents, crafting projects!
if you cover glass with bee wax clear lettering or patterns inside than place just surface to flake the glass in sulfiric acid you can get the flaked etching but extremely toxic than painnt gold than foil it behind than mirror the back there are some antique mirror kits this suggesting is for the lowest cost i wouldnt touch edges due to grinding glass and risking breathing glass dust ( sulfiric acid vapours is also extreme hazzard for health and skin but hence lil caution anything can be done safe again this is lowest cost wise maybe equvalent to cutting stencils at the process only lettering gold leaf cost to day probably 75 bucks ) good luck do what ever but dont hurt your self peace good luck
Several years ago I thought I'd be cool and get some Mac Striping brushes and some One Shot paint. After practicing on a pane of glass for a few days I put all that shit away and it hasn't been out since. Striping by hand is no joke.
It’s just amazing how this process was developed, especially the glue thing that breaks out some of the glass when it gets heated to create that beautiful pattern. I wonder how that was discovered?! Great job, man. Very impressive! How much is a sign like that?
That better be a $10K sign.. that's a ton of detail and steps to make that happen. Many people wouldn't appreciate the work that goes into it. Great work!
This was an amazing amount of work, talent, skill, dedication, and equipment! How did you even learn this? And what do you charge to be fair to yourself?
let's get a grip for a sec, eh? lol. first, the result was beautiful, so don't get me wrong. you can literally see the amount of work he did, and if you've ever did any factory work you probably wouldn't be overly impressed by the several small entry-level tasks you need to do to get it done. talent? sure. then again, it's a design style that probably goes back to the mid-1800's and the fonts are common enough. there's a lot of references to draw from. but, you still have to lay it out and do the actual computer work for the masks. skill... i didn't see anything that you shouldn't be able to be passably good enough at within a week. dedication? well, it's a job, you're expected to be competent and take pride in your work no matter if you're making arty glass pieces or flipping burgers. as far as equipment goes, nothing extravagant. you need a plotter, some basic hand tools/brushes, that crimper probably is pretty inexpensive, a sandblasting booth, compressor, and i assume that's some kind of UV box to 'cure' the glue like what you'd use to cure screen printed shirts (often called a burner box). were you to start this up yourself, i would reckon you'd drop about $5-7K. how do you learn it? it's not a lost art. i mean, you just learned how to do it, right? lol. you charge what any other business would charge, calculating your overhead/materials, determining what you want to earn, and being cognizant of the competition. again, the result is beautiful, i'm just trying to put it into some kind of perspective, lol.

I would never have imagined the steps and skill to creating this work of art. Absolutely stunning!!
I agree. Great looking result.
The gold leaf is actually much much harder than he makes it look.
That looks like an expensive sign, and most people wouldn't appreciate all the work it took.
This was so cool to watch!
Sadly in my area signs like this are associated with a failing business 💔
Probably hanging in a hipster coffee bar now.

I love glass, hate plastics. Nice work.
This is easily the most amazing thing I have seen in months, well done to the artist and thank you for sharing !!!
This man is a skilled artisan. Beautifully done. The skill that went into this just blew me away. Thanks for showing us this skilled piece 👌
So fun to watch a talented person making and beautiful product
Video like this make the internet great

That word repeatable = true professional
i watch youtube everynite for years and i have never seen anything as artistic as this in my life, it is amazing what you created ,i am motivated
I’m getting relaxed watching this art. He has me motivated also and I don’t even do glass 😆
Now that's how you make a sign
Perfection
Wao Very Hard Working. Good 👍
I watched it all the way through, and still went "WOW" when I saw the finished product!
What a true honour it was to watch a master in action and learning new techniques along the way. Thank you.
Tremendo Trabajo!!! 100% profesional! Gracias por el vídeo.
Wow, found this in my Recommended,, I was a Glazier for 40yrs, till I retired
I still carve glass , very cool
I am completely blown away...First I didn't know this type of sign existed and second the amazing artistry it took to achieve this this sign. I say "bravo" for such incredible craftmanship!!!
aside from the computer work, this all looks pretty entry-level simple tasks to me. it has a great result, but let's not get carried away, eh? lol.
Thanks, never imagined this to be such an intensive process!
as an actually signwriter, this is the cheat way tho, takes a lot longer to do it by hand with only a brush, looks like a nice cheat tho

I will never look at a sing light this again and think of all the work that’s gone into it , outstanding 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
