Good morning folks, James came home from college for the weekend, and I had made him a couple of presents. I have been doing some glass etching for a couple years and recently made the purchase of a vinyl cutter so that I can make my own decals. I made these decals, stuck them on and sandblasted. You should have seen the grin on his face, it was priceless. The first is a pair of vanity mirrors for the sun visors. Our 'bird originally had them, but they were in poor shape and were left off when we restored. How do you like them?  The second is for his home brew hobby. I have done some custom glasses before, here is my last project. Each glass has both etchings. Again, looking for any comments you might care to give.  Y'all have a great day, I have some visiting to do. Cal f/k/a Cal & James Edit, after looking at the mirror pic, it looks a little blurred. It really isn't, that is due to the angle that I took the pic from. If I can get some help with the pic I will do a close up of the etchings.

Thanks for the kind words! They really do look good. And, I wouldn't mind selling a few. If you are interested shoot me a PM. I would sell mirrors, glasses or just the decals so that you can make your own. Cal

Got my set of glasses too.
They are great! They're a nice heavy glass so that should minimize the risk of them cracking.
I'm completely satisfied with them.

Mine just arrived today, look great. Only one problem with them, There is a big hole in each glass, when I lift one off the table the beer disappears.:)
