Thanks all for your kind comments... It was an experience and a great learning curve... the reaction of the recipient should have been enough... she insisted in slipping quite a few extra shekels for the effort... some idiot declined.
Though one of the things it taught me was that I could never charge what stuff I make would actually cost... materials are normally bugger all, but the labour with the oopsie corrections prices me out of any market.
It was this project that convinced me to never go commercial, and only undertake "free contracts" for close friend.
James McIntyre commented about 6 hours ago new I was wondering how you did the beveled mirror. The glazer did a fine job. It must have been hard to put a bevel on such small parts.
The glazier was a close friend that came to Australia with my family on the same boat after the 56 Hungarian revolution.
He learnt from his father who was a master craftsman in glazing and until he retired, his small 2 man (brother) team, create works that very few in Australia could produce.
The mirror was a perfect recreation and was an art by itself.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
