Dave Smith is a master of his craft. Thanks, Dom for introducing him to us. (Also, I'm so glad that he's inserted the apostrophe in "Dom's" - it's been driving me nuts).

There is a story for everything, very true Dominic. listening to the stories are just as interesting as the piece itself. What a legacy to leave so others can follow. Its documented and will not be lost like it sadly has with other experts in their craft.

Thank you Dom, This has really has been quite emotive watch for me. My father worked in a factory in East London creating and making this wonderful and fascinating work. He worked through WW2 in a retained occupation bevelling glass to make gun sights for submarines, tanks, and all manner of such item's. Sadly he died quite young, but not before filling our house with bevelled glass in all colours and mirrors. Filling our house with light and fond memories. Thank you so much Dave Smith.😊

The fact that David designed a custom typeface for Mayer’s album is the sign of a true professional. Incredible talent and skill. I’ve always been fascinated by gilding; I guess I’m going to have to take Dave’s class now.
