Well I did get the candy....problem is there is a mouse in the house and it's getting eaten up faster than the parts I'm waiting on to show up.   Duh!

Are you referring to a two-legged mouse or a four-legged one? Tongue Out

 Duh!  Duh!  Duh!

Yeah...sorry guys.  In hind sight taking on this extra credit project during the busiest time of year in the slot business was probably not the best of ideas....clients come first and fun candy projects second.   I will do my best to wrap things up here in the next couple of weeks.

Let me try to show some of the progress I have made since the last time.



The glass proved to be a bit of a challenge.  As you can in the picture below the original piece is pretty scabbed up.

The option of having a graphic artist input a design and then having the glass professionally made proved to be pretty expensive in the $400 range all said and done.  So I had to pass on that idea.

Fortunately, I found a company that had pre-made decals of the original design.  They were very high quality and not cheap...if I recall in the $75 range.  I was at first very disappointed though when I received it as I found its adhesive was on the back.  Because this was for glass I expected it to be a reverse decal where I could affix the decal on the back of the glass facing out....but not the case.

There is nothing worse than the look of a decal on the front of the glass.  Aside from the fact it will get damaged there is no reflection of the glass so it ends up looking cheap and not like a professional screened piece of decorative glass.  If you study the first picture below you will see what I mean.  Take a look at the effect of the "hot spot" reflection of the lamp in the upper right hand corner.

The Solution:

Since the original piece of glass was 1/4" thick I ended up having two new pieces of glass cut that were 1/8" thick.  I applied the decal to one piece and then overlapped the second piece of glass onto the first.  I think the results came out great.

That looks great Jim.  applause applause Sandwiching the decal between two thinner pieces of glass was an elegant, simple solution, and better than having to return the decal you bought, since the original was so scuffed up.

Now all it needs is some wrapped candy. arrow  yummy yummy

 +1 (Karma, or whatever) to you and Ford, once again.
