I was very impressed with this site, so I saved it to look at again, it
is very well done & put together, and the lady does very good work.

I just wonder why it took 5 years to build this lamp? I had a customer
build one in about a month. Same lamp.

Maybe they were buying supplies from some asshole in British Columbia and it
took that long to get the shipment? Lost at sea with those cases of glass
bound for Finland.

Andy, Helen's Tiffany lamp has been a part time project and every piece
glass was cut and ground by hand.

I have heard of another similar project, but the creators had the glass
pieces laser cut, and so ensured accuracy and speed.

Graham,
I had a client, who really likes lamps, built one in 60 days for his
daughter, hand cut and ground, then had to turn around and build one for
daughter number 2, (because the 1st once came out so nice!), the second one
took a little less, but only because it was spring and nothing stops this
guy from hitting the golf course 3 times a week. Easily doable, and all
hand done, no lasers or water jets.

He has since switched to the Odyssey mold system and is still making lamps
for relatives, which he is running out of. Relatives, not lamps.

Still...that's like only cutting a couple of pieces per day. (shrug)

Perhaps you're more impressed with the Chinese shops that cut with a
waterjet and complete a few dozen lamps each day? Maybe there's a
market for lamps that are precut for precision fit that just have to
be assembled and soldered? Maybe I'll look into that?

Since Brady has his head up his ass, he'll be looking into "something", for
sure.
