MAKING CLASSIC GOLD LEAF GLASS SIGN - ART ASMR

[@angelocerrone3070]

I would never have imagined the steps and skill to creating this work of art. Absolutely stunning!!

[@recoverytrouble]

I agree. Great looking result.

[@theoryofpersonality1420]

The gold leaf is actually much much harder than he makes it look.

[@MengGuoZhou]

This is absolute Art, if he is an employee, I wouldn't be surprised they only pay him 3k/month.

[@daviddavidson2111]

I am 56, I trained as a traditional sign writer, and when I worked amongst the public, people would say " oooh, aren't you lucky". It would amaze me that nobody considered how much training it took, just like any other trade.

[@X22GJP]

What’s the amount of training got to do with it if it’s just like any other trade? Oh, you mean you’re tying to compliment? Ahh…

[@drd1924]

That looks like an expensive sign, and most people wouldn't appreciate all the work it took. This was so cool to watch!

[@mr.bigglesworth2952]

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.

[@aleswitch]

Wow!!! I thought that making glass signs like this was a lost art!! When I was a kid, the fairground rides here in the uk would be decorative with this kind of beautiful glass sign! Thankyou for keeping the art alive today and showing us how modern techniques can be incorporated into vintage arts and crafts! 🙂🙏❤

[@lori3978]

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!!!

[@rdbryant29]

Wow! That is truly a work of art. Glue chipping is something I never even knew existed. Thank you for sharing this process.

[@asvarien]

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.

[@melanieaway]

That word repeatable = true professional

[@christiankirkenes5922]

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!

[@artregeous]

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

[@claib4]

I hope you teach the younger generation to keep art like that alive. Amazing

[@dougaldhendrick3497]

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!

[@philippabolton3922]

[@rogerjones6033]

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?

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?

[@manlymcstud8588]

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.
