What media are you using in the blasting cabinet? And is that just regular vinyl decal material? Ive made the lettering on headstones the same way, but I used a 1/16" rubber template with the letters cut out, will vinyl work just as well with a finer media? Great work! Very impressive finished product!
Fast day..if you have at least $80,000 for a computer signware. ..HOWEVER...it's more incredible to watch a sign mechanic do it all by hand, as I started out 55 years ago til retirement. Yes ALL WORK ONCE IN MY DAY WAS DONE BY HAND..INCLUDING HAND DRAWN "POUNCE" PATTERN"
Not gonna lie, the first time i watched glue chirping process i was like 'whatever he's doing, doesn't make any sense' but at the end of the video i was like WOW
I can smell the glass cleaner, Nothing like the feel of a good clean execution. I worked in a couple stained glass shops doing that for etching and as well leaded windows. This video brings me back!!! Thanks for the glass shop meditation!!!
Oh WOW!!! Isn’t it fabulous to discover how different things are made? I found this video absolutely absorbing. Can’t wait to (binge) watch all the other vids. Thanx for sharing
TH-cam finally stepping up its game and recommending me absolute gold. Incredible craftsmanship and an absolutely stunning finished piece of work. New subscriber ✌🏻
i mean, the result is beautiful, but where's the art exactly? don't get me wrong, it's a great looking piece and requires being proficient in several processes, but i just don't see the 'art' in it knowing that the designs essentially comes from templates. skill? oh, sure. art, though? hm, i have to question that. again, i'm not trying to take anything away from the people, process, or fantastic end result, but i won't gush and goo over what really is by professional gilded glass sign making standards pretty basic.
@@leesanders6490 you couldn't resist slipping in an insult, could you? at least you got that out of the now so i don't have to waste my time on you and find out later.
Truly a wonderful artist, this type of art is disappearing due to technology. Keep on Pimpin' the mirrored artwork, hope you pass it on to your children.
OMGOODNESS, I want to do this sooooooo badly! I watched one of your videos last night for the first time and I spent the rest of the night learning how to glue chip, and how to scallop the edges of glass! This art is amazing and just enough steps to keep me interested in it! The beauty of your pieces is amazing! Thank you for filming! I cant wait to do my own much smaller pieces! Perhaps my name to start.
if i wasn't already waiting on a tufting gun to make rugs with, i would be looking into this for sure. the only thing that i would balk at is i don't know coreldraw or illustrator, have a plotter, or a sandblasting set-up. other than that it's just a lot of smaller tasks. having worked in high-pressure factories before, the little jobs themselves don't impress me super-much because i've been in situations where you get your act together fast or you don't have a job tomorrow, and i've owned a trophy/t-shirt shop so i have some familiarity with the equipment and weeding process. i've used vinyl as stencils to armour etch class before, which is simple. if the ex moves to another state like she said she wants to or she just won't help me out (she still has the business), i'll find someone else to subcontract that out to and come up with a design i can sell over and over again to reduce design costs. i'm sure a simple inquiry on FB could find me someone who does sand blasting, that's just the kind of people i know. i probably watched the same videos you did and priced some stuff out, lol. good luck!
What a stunningly beautiful result. In addition to the design I really like how the blue complements the gold. You've given me an appreciation of something I had taken completely for granted. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing work! Thanks for that. I've never seen the process before and it's fascinating! Seriously it's a work of art and the sign is really the nicest I've ever seen. I just love seeing real craftsmen do their work, especially in a day of re-pop, plastic shit....work like this is really a treasure. Thank you.
I wish I knew what that dried glue does to the glass surface to make it look like ice. It's either shellac or hide glue but is it taking tiny flakes of glass with it as it dries and pops off?
Excellent video demonstrating exceptional work. We always had crossed fingers when we glue-chipped at our studio. So many variables affecting the outcome - glue strength, humidity, abrasive grit size. You made it look easy.
Now how in the hell would one go about to learn this process? Is there a class to take? Did you learn it from working with your dad? I'd say it would be next to impossible for the average Joe to accomplish anything like this, this takes an extreme amount of talent that one would never be able to acquire from a You Tube video! I don't know how this person learned these skills, but they are certainly one of a kind, it's artistry that someone is born with.
you could take classes, i hear, but honestly i see nothing here that's a particular challenge just in itself. i mean, if i were in a factory setting, these small tasks would be viewed as entry level stuff you'd be expected to be serviceably good at in a couple of days. but, there are a lot of the processes which would take more time to become usefully productive as a whole, if that makes any sense. i've worked in high-pressure factories before and they'll push you into getting your shit together real quick, but most people have never worked in these kinds of places and as a result are, and i mean no offense, more impressed than maybe they should be. the average joe couldn't do this? he absolutely could. the one thing the average person couldn't do is the design work on the plotter (technically you could do it by hand. a lot of folk think the program is photoshop, but for vinyl cutters it would probably be coreldraw). the result is beautiful and props to the skills and design talent, so don't misunderstand me please, but at the same time let's keep it in perspective, eh? lol. you can cut glass. you can boil the hide glue. you can sandblast the glass. you can brush on the appropriate materials for the effect you want. there's nothing in this you can't do with a little practice other than the computer design. the real talent is achieving the effect you want more than the process itself, imo. (i understand silvering is it's own thing, though.) could you do this? you certainly could! just do a lot of research, buy some fairly inexpensive tools (other than the sandblasting booth big enough to handle large pieces), practice on smaller pieces since you don't have someone showing you the tricks of the trade, have someone like a trophy/t-shirt shop do the vinyl work, take a deep breath and hold it when dealing with gold leaf, lol, and you can do this stuff, my friend. what part of this process shown looks like something you can't do? (sometimes they'll show putting the glass in a box, and that's to apply heat/control humidity to speed up the glue chipping process which i understand can take weeks if just left out to dry naturally.) when i get my tufting gun in, i'll make rugs for awhile, then, i dunno, i might look into this stuff as a new side hustle. i let my ex keep our trophy/t-shirt shop so i could get her to do the computer stuff. there's always a way.... if she moves out of state like she says she might, then no worries, plenty of people around who cut vinyl, and i just need a design that i can sell over and over again instead of the commissioned work this company does. bear in mind this company will probably get around $6000 for this particular piece, so it's well worth attempting! remember, too, you don't have to make these things in a 19th century style and fonts, but if you do there are plenty of fonts and decorations in that style you can get for the computer.
Wow wow and wow again intricate detail of your typography is authentic extremely phenomenal love your ambition and bold expression of real art one of a kind definitely on another level God bless you and your family continue success on your journey much love😅😅😅😅
WOW, it's amazing work and craftmanship, I've seen these works around but never until now did I apricate the amount of pure craftmanship. patients and time it requires. truly inspirational. one thing I'm not clear on however is the purpose of the glue process, ill have to watch again because I must have missed something but the cracking of the glue is pretty neat none the less. Thanks for sharing this, it's fascinating to say the least.
Of course when I'm trying to learn new shit Mr. Cartoon’s has the video that sets the bar. This dude is on a different level than the rest of the world
I'm in awe of all the various arts involved in this process. I'm assuming it's first rendered on some kind of screen design software? I can't imagine how much time goes into this kind of project. 4-5 days? Definitely don't have to worry about anyone taking your job sir. Nice work.
the company would have a higher end vinyl cutter/plotter that likely uses coreldraw or illustrator because those are vector based, as opposed to photoshop that's pixel based. a lot of these fonts and decorative pieces are easy to get. the jaguar plotter the ex got for our trophy/t-shirt shop was about $3K if i remember right, but that's what you'd want for a commercial daily user. you wouldn't need that fancy of one for something you only used now and then. you could pick up an uscutter probably for about $500 or so that does the job, just slower -- and a lot louder, lol -- and with the low-level detail for projects like this. (you get what you pay for, so something like the jaguar is more precise time and time again, but we started off with a refurbed uscutter many years ago and it was great until we outgrew it.) beyond the computer design none of these tasks seem particularly difficult, but some seem time-consuming. getting the glue chipping sped up will still take at least two days judging from other videos i've seen on it. lining vinyl up is a pain in the ass sometimes, lol, but not like it takes all day. running a knife around the whole design once the hide glue has gelled looks like it would take awhile. i'm just guessing that, computer and drying times aside, there's probably a good two days of solid work involved barring some process they're not showing and there's no dilly-dallying, but i could see three as being reasonable, too. in real life you set the tool down and it's gone three seconds later and you're like, 'hey, where's my glass scalloping doo-dad thingy?!' or, 'damnit, why can't i line stuff up for shit today?'
@@geoffdundee oh, i'm sure it does! i have one stent left to get, but i'm a school bus driver so i'll have the summer off here soon. in that time i plan on making tufted rugs (if my tufting gun ever gets here!), but i think i could get into this stuff, too. it's something i've always had an interest in.
Wow, pretty good for a computer doing all of the designing, and then somebody doing the grunt work. I wonder how nice it would be if the glass guy actually had skills enough to paint his own letters. I used to watch professional glass painters when I was a kid do doors and front windows with gold One-Shot. I guess that's a lost art.

This is like commercial art, I've taken commercial art in High school back in 1994-1995 year, it's awesome, you sur did a fantastic job.👍
I don't know how you did it... and I just watched you do it! Most beautiful sign I have ever seen!
I'm very impressed that you make your own mirrors.
I can smell the glass cleaner,
Nothing like the feel of a good clean execution. I worked in a couple stained glass shops doing that for etching and as well leaded windows.

I never realized the incredible amount of work that goes into making a sign like that! Wow!! 😃💎📹👍

The noise of the glue chipping sounds like the worlds most out of tune xylophone. I love it! 😆👍🏻
Truly a wonderful artist, this type of art is disappearing due to technology.

I opened this video thinking it was just skill or process I could try at home ... this guy is a grand master... what a patient skill ! Much respect
why can't you do this in a garage? what process looks beyond your ability?
What an honor to do a piece for such a legend! And what it must be like to be a legend who gets to show off this masterpiece!
Big ups!

This is real craftsmanship, I wonder if you could laser cut that glu after it drys..
Unbelievable! Thank you for capturing the process and sharing it! Stunning!
Amazing craftsmanship. I’ll never look at a sign like this the same.
I had no idea this is what it takes! Much respect. Worth the cost for sure.
You are truly an artisan of high caliber. That sign is top tier work. Only if ....
Mate you're heading to a million subs in around 3 years I reckon. I love this.
@G SQUADRON gotta start somewhere right? :)
One sign 5grand but it looks superb on all levels.
What a stunningly beautiful result. In addition to the design I really like how the blue complements the gold. You've given me an appreciation of something I had taken completely for granted. Thank you for sharing!
What painstaking work. It’s masterful, and the results are spectacular!
I’m not sure what TH-cam rabbit hole brought me to this video but...DAMN!!!! That is beyond talented. Beautiful artwork.

Magic!!! It's impossible to comprehend. Wow
The fact you know how to work with all that on glass and the etching is mind blowing
this is Dope. i'd love to do this for a living
Esto era para Mr Cartoon, tenía que ser bueno. Qué habilidades y qué buena técnica.
I wish I knew what that dried glue does to the glass surface to make it look like ice. It's either shellac or hide glue but is it taking tiny flakes of glass with it as it dries and pops off?
This takes my breath away....simply beautiful craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
its nice to know this is still a thing. and that people are willing to pay for it.
Mad mad skills!! I can't imagine the level of quality products being used. That paint and vinyl must be top of the line.
Excellent video demonstrating exceptional work. We always had crossed fingers when we glue-chipped at our studio. So many variables affecting the outcome - glue strength, humidity, abrasive grit size. You made it look easy.
I gonna learn this craft one day beautifully crafted great job keep it up
This just had to be a soul grasping joy to make!
Im only 23 and I remember my brother use to have the mister cartoon phone from MetroPCS back in the 09-2010 😂
Wow....that’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen...VERY cool!
Dear Lord that is a lot of work that goes into this. Fantastic job
aside from the computer design, it looks like a lot of simple yet time-consuming tasks. that's why these things are so expensive, though.
I don't know what this cost Mr Cartoon, but I know this, it wasn't enough! My goodness what a beautiful piece of art!
oh, it's enough, lol. this isn't a couple hundred bucks, this was probably in the $6K range.
I wouldn't be able to line up the green masking again after the glue chipping.
Mesmerizing !!, you are the Bob Ross of this art, how did u ever learn such an art
Great work; with all the right kit;
add (just a touch of) exquisite dexterity.
I still come back and watch this
Patience is a virtue. Amazing work
Man the Glue chipping process is a long and tedious cutting out all the vinyl away from the glue. Nice work!!
Insanely beautiful
I don't really understand the science behind it, but it's amazing.
This is amazing WOW.Hats off
