When you do crystal repair, you have to make new pieces. This candle stick was broken many years ago and the broken piece was lost. I created a new cup cut and glued the new piece in. It saved alot of memories for the customer!

This very large glass sculpture, I believe was made in Vince Italy, was brought to me for repair.The glass piece was top heavy and fell over. I used my Bridgeport Milling Machine to grind and polish the large pieces of glass. I have some pictures of the process.  I will post them soon.

The sail boat came out perfect and by changing the angle on the bottom just a little the piece is very stable and is no longed top heavy.
